Spanish Prayers For The Dead

The following prayers can be said immediately upon death and can be repeated for hours afterward. When family members gather around a body first, either before or after preparations for burial, all or part of the following prayers may be used. When choosing Spanish prayers for the deceased, it is certainly important to take into account the cultural aspects of the prayers, and also to take into account the communities in which the deceased loved one was part. When choosing a Spanish funeral prayer, just keep the twin responsibilities of tradition and personal meaning in mind.

Consider prayers that are meaningful for your loved ones who have died, but also ones that are meaningful for their culture and community. You might even want to select a prayer that is related to hobbies and interests that person had throughout their life. Let us look forward with hope and faith to the resurrection of our Lord Jesus in this season of trial and sorrow, when we pray for Your servants (name) and for those that love Him/her, through Christ Our Lord.

Bless us, O Father, and these Thy gifts that we are about to receive of Thy bosom through the Son. Only good and gentleness will accompany me throughout my days, and I will live for years in the home of the Father. Hallowed is our Heavens; Thy Kingdom comes; Thy will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

O my, I am sorely sorry that I offended the Father, and detest all my transgressions, because of thy rightful chastisement, but above all, because they offended Thee, my God, Who is the All-good, deserving of all my love. I am determined, by The Father’s grace, not to sin again, and to avoid near occasions of sin.
