(PV09)

Almighty and most merciful God,

who when the little children born again of water

depart this mortal life,

dost forthwith, without any desert of theirs;

Bestow upon them life everlasting,

as we believe Thou hast done to this little child,

Grant, we beseech Thee, that through the intercession

of the Blessed Virgin Mary

and all of Thy Saints,

we may serve Thee here with pure minds

and be forever united

to the blessed little ones in paradise.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
