Commemoration of the Dead
O FATHER of mercies, in the name of Jesus, Thy beloved Son, in memory of His bitter Passion and cruel death, in virtue of the wound of His Sacred Heart, and in consideration also of the sorrows of the immaculate heart of Mary, of the heroic deeds of all the saints and of the torments of all the martyrs, I implore Thee to have pity on the souls of the faithful departed now suffering in purgatory.
To Thy mercy I recommend especially the souls of my relatives, friends, and benefactors, and of all those for whom I have promised to pray.
