Have Mercy on the Suffering Souls

[whiterockdove]

O merciful God,
Have pity on those Souls
Who have no one particular
Person to recommend them to thee.
Amen.

[whiterockdove]

Spare them, O Lord, and
Remember thine own mercies when
Others forget to appeal to thee.

[whiterockdove]

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
Rest in peace.
Amen

[Shin]

O Eternal Father, I offer thee the Most Precious Blood of thy dearly beloved Son Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the sake of the holy souls in purgatory.

Most Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Grant rest to thy holy souls.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed art thou among 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.

Have Mercy on the Suffering Souls
from the Manual of the Purgatorian Society

Hear ye not the spirits' moaning
From the depths of cleansing fire?
Know ye not the burning anguish
Of these souls -- their hearts' desire?

Hear them cry in bitter sorrow,
Sighing, weeping in their pains,
While they call on us who love them,
"Break our heavy prison chains!"

Though their lives on earth were holy,
And their virtue manifest,
Yet some stains of imperfection
Still prevent their perfect rest.

And they weep in mournful numbers,
Pleading for our fervent pray'r,
OH, take pity on their sorrow,
Let their solace be your care.

Place your pray'r, your pious off'ring
For these suffering souls, so poor,
In the hands of our dear Mother,
Of sweet Mary Virgin pure.

With a mother's love and mercy
She will lead them to her son;
And their pain shall turn to glory
There, before the Heav'nly throne.

Prayer for the Dead

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, give to the souls of thy servants departed the remission of all their sins; that, through pious supplications, they may obtain the pardon which they have always desired: who livest and reignest, forever and ever. Amen.

V. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
V. May they rest in peace.
R. Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris; et ne nos inducas in tentationem Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
