Psalm 5

5:2 O Lord, listen closely to my words. * Understand my outcry.
5:3 Attend to the voice of my prayer, * my King and my God.
5:4 For to you, I will pray. * In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
5:5 In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. * For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
5:6 And the malicious will not dwell close to you, * nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.

5:11a Their throat is an open sepulcher. † They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. * Judge them, O God.
5:11b Let them fall by their own intentions: † according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. * For they have provoked you, O Lord.
5:12a But let all those who hope in you rejoice. * They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them.
5:12b And all those who love your name will glory in you. * (13a) For you will bless the just.

6:5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. * Save me because of your mercy.
6:6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. * And who will confess to you in Hell?

7:3 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
7:4 O Lord, my God, * if there is iniquity in my hands,
7:5 if I have done this: if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, * may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
7:6 let the enemy pursue my soul, † and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, * and drag down my glory into the dust.
7:7a Rise up, Lord, in your anger. * And be exalted to the borders of my enemies.
7:7b And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded, * (8a) and a congregation of people will surround you.

7:9b Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice * and according to my innocence within me.
7:10 The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: * the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
7:11 Just is my help from the Lord, * who saves the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong and patient. * How could he be angry throughout every day?
7:13 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. * He has extended his bow and made it ready.
7:14 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. * He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
7:15 Behold him who has given birth to injustice: * he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
7:16 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. * And he has fallen into the hole that he made.

Iob 7:16-21

16 I despair; by no means will I live any longer. Spare me, for my days are nothing.
17 What is man, that you should praise him? Or why do you place your heart near him?
18 You visit him at dawn, and you test him unexpectedly.
19 How long will you not spare me, nor release me to ingest my saliva?
20 I have sinned; what should I do for you, O keeper of men? Why have you set me against you, so that I have become burdensome even to myself?
21 Why do you not steal away my sin, and why do you not sweep away my iniquity? Behold, now I will sleep in the dust, and if you seek me in the morning, I will not remain.

℟ I know that my Redeemer lives, and on the last day I will rise out of the earth,

And in my flesh I will see God my Savior.

Iob 14:1-6

1 Man, born of woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is crushed, and he flees, as if a shadow, and never remains in the same state.
3 And do you consider it fitting to look down with your eyes on someone in this way and to lead him into judgment with you?
4 Who can make him clean who is conceived of unclean seed? Are you not the only one who can?
5 The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with you; you have determined his limits, which cannot be surpassed.
6 Withdraw a little from him, so that he may rest, until his awaited day arrives, like that of the hired hand.

℟ You who raised Lazarus from the stinking tomb,

Grant them, O Lord, rest and a place of pardon.

℣ You who are to come to judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire.

Iob 19:20-27

20 Since my flesh has been consumed, my bone adheres to my skin, and only my lips have been left around my teeth.
21 Have mercy on me, have compassion on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord has touched me.
22 Why do you pursue me just as God does, and satiate yourselves with my flesh?
23 Who will grant to me that my words may be written down? Who will grant to me that they may be inscribed in a book,
24 with an iron pen and a plate of lead, or else be carved in stone?
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and on the last day I will rise out of the earth.
26 And I will be enveloped again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27 It is he whom I myself will see, and he whom my eyes will behold, and no other. This, my hope, has taken rest in my bosom.

℟ Lord, when you come to judge the earth, where shall I hide from the face of your wrath?

For I have sinned exceedingly in my life.

From the Book of Saint Augustine the Bishop on the Care to be Taken for the Dead

Cap 2 et 3

The care of burial, the preparation of the tomb, the solemnity of the funeral rites are more a consolation for the living than an aid for the dead. Yet for all that, the bodies of the departed are not to be despised and cast aside, especially those of the just and faithful, whose bodies the spirit has used as organs and vessels for every good work. For if a father's garment and ring, and anything of that sort, is all the dearer to those who follow the greater the love they bore toward their parents, in no way ought the bodies themselves to be spurned, which we wear in a far more familiar and intimate union than any clothing whatsoever. For these belong not to adornment or assistance applied from without, but to the very nature of man. Hence also the funerals of the ancient just were attended with dutiful piety, their obsequies were celebrated, and provision was made for burial; and they themselves, while they lived, gave charge to their children concerning the burial or even the translation of their bodies.

℟ Remember me, O God, for my life is but wind,

And let no human eye behold me.

℣ Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.

℟ And let no human eye behold me.

Cap. 4

There is no doubt that the disposition of commemoration and prayer, which is offered to those dearest who have died in faith, profits those who, while they yet lived in the body, merited that such things should profit them after this life. But even if some necessity either forbids the burial of bodies, or permits no opportunity for burial in sacred places, the prayers to be offered for the spirits of the dead must not be neglected; prayers which the Church has undertaken to make for all who have died in Christian and Catholic fellowship, even without mention of their names, under a general commemoration: so that those who lack parents, or children, or any kindred or friends to offer these things for them may receive them from the one common devout mother. For if these prayers were lacking — prayers offered with upright faith and devotion for the dead — I think it would avail nothing for their spirits, however much their lifeless bodies might be placed in sacred sites.

℟ Woe is me, O Lord, for I have sinned greatly in my life: what shall I do, wretch that I am? Where shall I flee, if not to you, my God?

Have mercy on me when you come on the last day.

℣ My soul is greatly troubled, but you, O Lord, come to its aid.

℟ Have mercy on me when you come on the last day.

Reading 6

Cap. 18

Since such is the case, let us not suppose that anything reaches those dead for whom we care unless it be that which we solemnly offer for them in the sacrifice of the altar, in prayers, or in almsdeeds: though not all such acts profit equally all those for whom they are performed, but only those for whom, while they yet live, provision is made that such acts may profit them. When, however, we know not who these are, it is fitting that we perform these things for all who have been reborn, so that none may be passed over among those to whom these benefits can and ought to reach. For it is better that these things abound for those whom they neither harm nor help, than that they should fail those whom they do help. Yet does each one perform these rites the more diligently for his own dear ones, that the like may be performed for him in turn by his own. Whatever, however, is bestowed upon the burial of the body is no safeguard of salvation, but an office of humanity, according to that affection by which no one ever hates his own flesh. It is therefore fitting that such care as is possible be taken for the flesh of a neighbor, from which he who cared for it has departed. And if those who do not believe in the resurrection of the flesh do these things, how much more ought those who believe to do them; so that the service rendered to a body that is dead, yet destined to rise again and to endure in eternity, may also be in some measure a testimony of that same faith!

℟ Remember not my sins, O Lord,

While you come to judge the world by fire.

℣ Direct, O Lord my God, my way in your sight.

℟ While you come to judge the world by fire.

℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.

39:7 Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require. * Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.”
39:8 At the head of the book, it has been written of me: that I should do your will. * My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.

39:11 I have not concealed your justice within my heart. * I have spoken your truth and your salvation.
39:11 I have not concealed your mercy and your truth * from a great assembly.
39:12 O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. * Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
39:13 For evils without number have surrounded me. * My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see.
39:13 They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. * And my heart has forsaken me.
39:14 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. * Look down, O Lord, to help me.
39:15 Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul * to steal it away.
39:15 Let them be turned back and be in awe, * who wish evils upon me.
39:16 Let them bear their confusion all at once, * who say to me, “Well, well.”
39:17 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. * And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”

40:8 All my enemies were whispering against me. * They were thinking up evils against me.
40:9 They established an unjust word against me. * Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?

40:12 By this, I knew that you preferred me: * because my adversary will not rejoice over me.

From the First Epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul to the Corinthians

1 Cor 15:12-22

12 Now if Christ is preached as risen from the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen.
14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is empty, and your faith is also empty.
15 We are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead do not rise.
16 For if the dead do not rise, neither has Christ risen.
17 And if Christ has not risen, your faith is futile: you are still in your sins.
18 Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.
19 If we hope in Christ only in this life, we are the most miserable of all people.
20 But now Christ has risen from the dead, the firstfruits of those who sleep,
21 for death came through a man, and the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.
22 And as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.

℟ As I sin daily and do not repent, the fear of death troubles me:

Because in hell there is no redemption, have mercy on me, O God, and save me.

℣ O God, save me by your name, and deliver me by your power.

℟ Because in hell there is no redemption, have mercy on me, O God, and save me.

1 Cor 15:35-44

35 But someone may say, 'How do the dead rise again?' or, 'What type of body do they return with?'
36 How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
38 For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed's proper body.
39 Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
40 Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
41 One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars.
42 So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
43 What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
44 What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body.

℟ Lord, judge me not according to my deeds: I have done nothing worthy in your sight; therefore I implore your majesty,

That you, O God, would blot out my iniquity.

℣ Wash me yet more, O Lord, from my injustice, and cleanse me from my sin.

1 Cor 15:51-58

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
53 Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
54 And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: 'Death is swallowed up in victory.'
55 'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?'
56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

℟ Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day,

℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.

℟ And let perpetual light * shine upon them.

℟ Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day, * when the heavens and the earth are to be moved, * while you come to judge the world by fire.
