For all who have died in the communion of your Church, and for those whose faith is known to you alone, that, with all the saints, they may have rest in that place where there is no pain or grief, but life eternal, I pray to you, O Lord.

Rejoicing in the fellowship of ... all the saints, I commend my self and all your faithful to Christ our God.
To you, O Lord, our God.
