SUNDAY
O Lord God
Omnipotent, I ask You by the Precious Blood which Your Divine Son Jesus shed
through His Agony in the Garden to deliver the souls in purgatory and
especially that one which is the most forgotten of all and bring it into Your
glory, where it may praise and bless You forever. Amen.
"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. Amen."
Those who are so disposed,
may add: “For Thine is the kingdom and
the power and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death, Amen."
Glory be
to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever.
Amen.
Eternal rest, grant unto
them, O Lord and may Your perpetual Light shine upon
them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in
peace. Amen

ages. Amen.
