| Baptized Infants
(Deceased) |
O
almighty and most merciful God, who vouchsafest to all children
baptized, departing this world, eternal life, without any merit of
theirs, as we believe thou hast done this day to the soul of this
child: grant us, we beseech thee, O Lord, by the intercession of
the blessed Mary, ever a virgin, and of all thy saints, to serve
thee here with pure minds, and to be united hereafter with thy
blessed children in heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. [Rites

Person on Day of Death |
O
God, whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, we
humbly beseech Thee for the soul of thy servant (N.), which Thou
hast this day called out of the world, that Thou wouldst not
deliver it up into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the
end; but command it to be received by Thy holy angels, and to be
carried to paradise, its true country; that as in Thee it had
faith and hope, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take
possession of everlasting joys: through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy
Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy
Ghost, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Departed (7) |
Immortal
God, Holy Lord, Father and protector of everything Thou hast
created, we raise our hearts to Thee today for those who have
passed out of this mortal life. In Thy loving mercy, Father of
men, be pleased to receive them into Thy Heavenly company, and
forgive them the failings and faults of human frailty. Thy only
Son, Christ, our Savior, suffered cruelly that He might deliver
them from the second death. By His merits may they share in the
glory of His victory over sin and death. We pray for all the
faithful who have died, but in particular for those dear to us -
parents, relatives and friends. Nor do we forget those who did us
good while on earth, who helped us by their prayers, sacrifices,
and example. We pray also for any who have done us harm and stand
in need of Thy special forgiveness. May the merits of Our Virgin
Mother Mary, and those of all Thy Angels and Saints, speak for us
and assist them now. This we ask in Christ's name. Amen.

Souls in Purgatory (1) |
O
gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever
consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in
Purgatory, have mercy on them. Be not severe in Your judgments,
but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon the devouring
flames. And, Merciful Savior, send Your angels to conduct them to

Souls in Purgatory (2) |
Most loving
Jesus, I humbly beseech Thee, that Thou Thyself
wouldst offer to Thine eternal Father in behalf of the Holy Souls
in purgatory, the Most Precious Blood which poured forth from the
sacred wounds of Thine adorable Body, together with Thine agony
and death. And do thou likewise O sorrowful Virgin Mary, present
unto Him, together with the dolorous Passion of Thy dear Son,
thine own sighs and tears, and all the sorrows thou didst suffer
in His suffering, in order that, through the merits of the same,
refreshment may be granted to the souls now suffering in the fiery
torments of purgatory, so that, being delivered from that painful
prison, they may be clothed with glory in heaven, there to sing
the mercies of God for ever and ever. Amen.

Souls in Purgatory (3) |
O
most compassionate Jesus, have mercy on the souls detained in
Purgatory, for whose redemption Thou didst take upon Thyself our
nature and endure a bitter death. Mercifully hear their sighs,
look with pity upon the tears which they now shed before Thee, and
by virtue of Thy Passion, release them from the pains due to their
sins. O most merciful Jesus, let Thy Precious Blood reach down
into Purgatory and refresh and revive the captive souls who suffer
there. Stretch out to them Thy strong right hand, and bring them
forth into the place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen. O
blessed souls! We have prayed for thee! We entreat thee, who art
so dear to God, and who art certain of never losing Him, to pray
for us poor miserable sinners who are in danger of being damned
and of losing God forever. Amen.

Blessed Virgin Mary for the Souls in Purgatory |
Most
holy Mary, our Lady of Intercession, whose maternal tenderness
gathers in one embrace all the souls redeemed by the Precious
Blood of thy Son Jesus, we come before thy royal throne with
sadness in our hearts as we remember those who have gone before
us, but also with unlimited confidence in thine intercession.
Death, which burst asunder the bonds of earth, has not destroyed
the affection which binds us to those who lived in the same faith
as we do. O Mary, countless souls await with unutterable anxiety
the assistance of our prayers, and the merits of our good works in
that place of expiation. Urged by the charity of Jesus Christ, we
raise our countenance and heart in supplication to thee, the
compassionate Mother of all believers, in favor of those suffering
souls. Make our prayers of good effect, O Mary; obtain for them
the power to move the Heart of Jesus our Redeemer through thy
motherly intercession. Let thine incomparable holiness supply the
defects of our misery, thy love make good our languid affection,
thy power strengthen our weakness. Grant, O Queen of heaven, that
the ardent desire of the souls of the departed to be admitted to
the Beatific Vision may soon be satisfied. We pray to thee, O
Mother, especially for the souls of our relations, of priests, of
those who were zealous in honoring these, of those who did good to
the souls of others, of those who wept with them and for them and
finally, for those souls of those who are forgotten. Grant that
one day, when we are all reunited in heaven, we may be able to
rejoice in the possession of God, in the happiness of thy dear
presence, in the fellowship of all the Saints, thanking thee
forever for all the blessings thou hast obtained for us, O Mother,
who art our unfailing comfort. Amen. Hail Mary... Hail Mary...
Hail Mary... Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let
perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
