EIGHTH DAY

Despite the sorrowful farewells and vows of undying remembrance, the dead are all too soon
universally forgotten: "Forgotten is all my life, which never a word recalls; forgotten is my name
which no one utters; forgotten is my tomb, which no one visits; forgotten is my death, which no
one mourns."

 Prayer: Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Gloria, De Profundis.

O God, Who hast commanded us to honor our father and our mother, in Thy loving kindness have mercy
on the souls of my parents. Forgive them their sins, and grant that I may see them face to face
amid the joys of life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
