Prayer for the Happy Repose of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II

Almighty God,

You are the author and sustainer of all human life; grant that your servant, Elizabeth our Queen,

whom you granted a long and happy reign as Monarch of these lands may be forgiven her

sins and rewarded with that eternal life promised to all those born again in the water of baptism and power of your Spirit.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, 

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit God, 

forever and ever,

Amen.

Eternal rest, grant to her O Lord,

And let Perpetual light shine upon her.

May she rest in peace.

Amen.

May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,

Through the mercy of God, 

rest in peace.

Amen.

Lord, I offer to You my suffering and pain, my misery and hurt.

Fill my heart, especially, with love of You and charity for others so that I will be truly rich in what matters most. Jesus, I trust in You. 

Amen.
