Re 233: of course it does not contain any words of prayer for the deceased ! Excuse me, I think so many things are obvious to others that I don’t lay out all the reasoning (plus mobile is limiting now). The entire prayer is a glorification and submission to God in suffering circumstance, martyrdom, or anguish. It is an offering.

I posted the words in response to your comment in post 188: “...praying for the spiritual benefit of dead brethren. This is a long standing Jewish tradition (Mourners’ Kaddish...” The Kaddish, like you said in post 239 is a prayer of glorification and submission to God, but it is not a prayer for the dead person’s benefit.
