PRAYER FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY
My Jesus, by
the sorrows You suffered in Your Agony in the Garden, in Your Scourging and
Crowning with thorns, on the way to Calvary, in Your Crucifixion and Death; have
mercy on the souls in Purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken,
deliver them from the dire torments they endure, call them and admit them to
Your most sweet embrace in Paradise...Amen.
Our Father ..., Hail Mary ..., Glory Be...
V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord:
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
V. May they rest in peace.
R. Amen.
PETITION FOR THE SUFFERING SOULS
O Immaculate
Mother, Queen of Heaven, hear the cries of your suffering children in purgatory
and intercede for them at the throne of the Almighty. Behold in them, O Mother
most faithful, the Image of Your Divine Son who offered Himself on their behalf.
Recall His bitter Passion and Death and see in them His very sufferings. We feel
confident, then, O Mother of Mercy, you will obtain their liberation, so that
they, in union with you and the celestial choir, may contemplate the Beatific
Vision in Heaven forever...Amen.
V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord;
R. Let perpetual light shine upon them.
