The Souls in Purgatory
ANT. My soul is athirst for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the face of the Lord?
- V. May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord.
- R. With Thy saints forever, because Thou art merciful.
Let us Pray
O GOD, to Whom it belongs always to have mercy and to spare, be gracious to the souls of the faithful departed, and grant them the remission of all their sins, that, being freed from the bonds of death, they may enter into life eternal. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
De Profundis for the Faithful Departed
(Psalm CXXIX)
OUT of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord! Lord, hear my voice.
Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness;
and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even unto night, let
Israel hope in the Lord.
