Be merciful; spare them, O Lord.
Be merciful: hear them, O Lord.
| From all evil, | O Lord, deliver them. | |
| From thy wrath, | ||
| From the flame of fire, | ||
| From the region of the shadow of death, | ||
| Through thy immaculate conception, | ||
| Through thy nativity, | ||
| Through thy most holy name, | ||
| Through the multitude of thy tender mercies, | ||
| Through thy most bitter passion, | ||
| Through thy most sacred wounds, | ||
| Through thy most precious blood, | ||
| Through thy ignominious death, by which thou hast destroyed our death, | ||
| We sinners do beseech thee to hear us. | ||
| O thou! who didst absolve the sinner woman, and didst hear the prayer of the good thief, | We beseech thee to hear us. | |
| That thou vouchsafe to release our deceased parents, relations, and benefactors, from the bonds of their sins, and from the punishment thereof, | ||
| That thou vouchsafe to hasten the day of visiting thy faithful, detained in the receptacles of sorrow, and transport them to the city of eternal peace, | ||
| That thou vouchsafe to shorten the time of expiation of their sins, and graciously admit them into the holy sanctuary, in which no unclean thing can enter, | ||
| That thou vouchsafe, through the prayers and alms of thy Church, and especially the inestimable sacrifice of thy holy altar, to receive them into the tabernacles of rest, and to crown their longing hopes with everlasting fruition, | ||
| Son of God, |
