Have mercy, O Lord, have mercy on the poor souls in purgatory.
V. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord;
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them!
V. O Lord, hear my prayer;
R. And let my cry come unto Thee!
Let us pray
O GOD! the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins, that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired, Who livest and reignest now and forever. Amen.
PRAYER
VISIT, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this habitation, and drive far from it all the snares of the enemy : let Thy holy angels dwell herein, to keep us in peace, and may Thy blessing be always upon us. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Sprinkle your bed with holy water and, blessing yourself, say when you lie down to rest:
Lord, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.
