Should the Absolution be chanted for more than one person deceased, the above Versicles and Prayers are said in the plural number. In fine, on All Souls' Day, when the Office is for all the faithful departed in general, the concluding Psalm, De profundis, is omitted.
Indulgenced Prayers for the Faithful Departed[1]
For Sunday
O LORD god almighty, I pray Thee by the precious blood which Thy divine Son Jesus shed in the Garden, deliver the souls in purgatory, and especially that soul among them all which is most destitute of spiritual aid; and vouchsafe to bring it to Thy glory, there to praise and bless Thee forever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, De profundis (see p. 255)
