Through Thine admirable ascension,
Through the coming of the Holy Ghost the
Paraclete,

In the Day of Judgment,
We sinners, beseech Thee, hear us.

Thou Who didst forgive Magdalen, and
didst hearken to the prayer of the thief,
Thou Who savest freely Thine elect,
Thou Who hast the keys of death and hell,
That Thou wouldst be pleased to deliver
the souls of our parents, relations,
friends, and benefactors, from the pains
of hell,

That Thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those of whom no special remembrance is made on earth,

That Thou wouldst be pleased to grant them all the pardon and remission of their sins,

That Thou wouldst be pleased to fulfil all their desires,

That Thou wouldst be pleased to receive

them into the company of the blessed,

King of awful majesty,
Son of God,

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them rest.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them rest.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, grant unto them rest everlasting.

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 world without end. Amen.

O eternal God, Who, besides the general precept of charity, hast commanded a particular respect to parents, kindred, and benefactors; prant, we beseech Thee, that, as they were the instruments by which Thy providence bestowed on us our birth, education, and innumerable other blessings, so our prayers may be the means to obtain for them a speedy release from their excessive sufferings, and free admittance to Thine infinite joys: through Jesus, etc.

FOR ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED.

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 the pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
