Prayers for the Dead & Grief

When someone you love dies, you can find a space to pray for them, write their name or a personal intention, and light a candle in their memory.

Prayers for the Dead & Grief brings together Catholic prayers for different moments after the death of a loved one: saying goodbye and entrusting them to God, praying for their eternal rest, facing a sudden or unexpected death, praying when you could not say goodbye, and finding comfort when grief feels especially heavy.

You will also find prayers to:
• pray for all the faithful departed;
• learn to live with the absence of a loved one without forgetting them;
• remember a loved one on the anniversary of their death;
• pray while visiting a grave or cemetery;
• renew hope in eternal life and the resurrection.

You can choose a prayer, read it or listen to it quietly, and then light a virtual candle. You can also write the name of the person who died or a personal intention for their soul and offer a candle as a personal sign of prayer and remembrance.

This app is for those who want to face the loss of a loved one through their Catholic faith: pray for the deceased, ask for mercy and eternal rest, find comfort in grief, and keep Christian hope alive.

A prayer, a candle, and a quiet moment to remember, trust, and keep praying for those who are no longer with us.
