The Church has a long tradition of remembering those who have died, to the love and mercy of God. We do this in a special way on the Feast of All Souls Day, and throughout November. In many churches around the world, there is a Book of the Names of the Dead, as a continuing reminder of our prayer. We offer this online Book of the Names of the Dead, so that we might be in solidarity around the world in prayer for our loved ones. Please email us the names you wish to inscribe in this online book for our prayer during the month of November both by the Creighton community and by our global online community. We remember those who have gone before us during this Year of Faith. |
If you have names to inscribe, please e-mail them to cmo@creighton.edu May this site remind us of our faith in our life-giving baptism into the death and resurrection of Jesus. |
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. |

Opening Prayer for the Commemoration of
all the Faithful Departed November 2nd Don't you know that all who share in Christ Jesus by being baptized also share in his death? When we were baptized, we died and were buried with Christ. We were baptized, so that we would live a new life, as Christ was raised to life by the glory of God the Father. If we shared in Jesus' death by being baptized, we will be raised to life with him. We know that the persons we used to be were nailed to the cross with Jesus. This was done, so that our sinful bodies would no longer be the slaves of sin. We know that sin doesn't have power over dead people. As surely as we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him. We know that death no longer has any power over Christ. He died and was raised to life, never again to die. When Christ died, he died for sin once for all. But now he is alive, and he lives only for God. In the same way, you must think of yourselves as dead to the power of sin. But Christ Jesus has given life to you, and you live for God. -

Prayer, Office for the Dead
Office of Readings My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means that they cannot share in God's kingdom, which lasts forever. I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so that we will never die again. Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won't die or decay. The bodies we now have are weak and can die, but they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true, "Death
has lost the battle! Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory! My dear friends, stand firm and don't be shaken. Always keep busy working for the Lord. You know that everything you do for him is worthwhile. -

Intercessions,
Office for the Dead, Evening Prayer Jesus said to his disciples, "Don't be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house. I wouldn't tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together. " -

Martha
said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have
died. Yet even now I know that God will do anything you ask."
Office for the Dead Jesus told her, "You brother will live again!" Martha answered, "I know that he will be raised to life on the last day, when all the dead are raised." Jesus then said, "I am the one who raises the dead to life! Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die. And everyone who lives because of faith in me will never really die. Do you believe this?" -
John 11:21-26
Let
us pray to the all-powerful Father who raised Jesus from the dead and gives new life to our mortal bodies, and say to him: Lord, give us new life in Christ. Father, through baptism we have been buried with your Son and have risen with him in his resurrection, + grant that we may walk in newness of life so that when we die, we may live with Christ for ever. Provident Father, you have given us the living bread that has come down from heaven and which should always be eaten worthily, + grant that we may eat this bread worthily and be raised up to eternal life on the last day. Lord, you sent an angel to comfort your Son in his agony, + give us the hope of your consolation when death draws near. You delivered the three youths from the fiery furnace, + free your faithful ones from the punishment they suffer for their sins. God of the living and the dead, you raised Jesus from the dead, + raise up those who have died and grant that we may share eternal glory with them. Lord, give us new life in Christ. -
Intercessions
But Christ
has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will
also be raised to life. Just as we will die because of Adam, we
will be raised to life because of Christ. Adam brought death to
all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us. But we must
each wait our turn. Christ was the first to be raised to life,
and his people will be raised to life when he returns. Then after
Christ has destroyed all powers and forces, the end will come, and he
will give the kingdom to God the Father.
Morning Prayer Office for the Dead Christ will rule until he puts all his enemies under his power, and the last enemy he destroys will be death. When the Scriptures say that he will put everything under his power, they don’t include God. It was God who put everything under the power of Christ. After everything is under the power of God’s Son, he will put himself under the power of God, who put everything under his Son’s power. Then God will mean everything to everyone. -
