The first part is pretty good as far as Theology Proper (although we would not pray for the departed's soul, as at a funeral it is too late to pray for his or her soul), but we are in agreement that God is our Father, that the Son is the Redeemer of the World, that the Holy Spirit is God and that the Holy Trinity is One God.
But the second and third paragraph, well, they reveal the true focal point of Catholicism here...Mary. Read it with care. Is there any doubt as to the focal point of a Mexican Catholic's devotion?
Here we go...
Lord, have mercy on him (her), Christ, have mercy on him (her), Lord, have mercy on him (her), Christ, hear us. Christ, listen to us. Heavenly Father, you are God. Have mercy on him (her). Son, redeemer of the world, you are God. Have mercy on him (her). Holy Spirit, you are God. Have mercy on him (her). Holy Trinity, you are one God. Have mercy on him (her).
