The newly departed is the deceased within 40 days after death. The Church teaches that during this time the soul goes through an important journey, and the prayer of the living has great power.
Prayer for the newly departed helps the soul receive forgiveness of sins and eternal peace. It is the greatest expression of love we can give the deceased.
Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your newly departed servant (name), forgive all their sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant them the Heavenly Kingdom and eternal peace. Amen.
