Petition for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

O MY God, I recommend to Thy clemency the holy souls in purgatory, and especially those to whom I am most indebted by the bond of charity or of justice; and chiefly I implore Thee in behalf of those who, during their life, were most devout to the Blessed Sacrament; as also those who have most loved the Blessed Virgin. For this I offer Thee, my good Jesus, Thy wounds. Thy agony, Thy death, and all the merits of Thy most bitter Passion. These holy souls love Thee and desire most ardently to be united with Thee. Hear, then, dear Lord, and grant this my prayer in their behalf, which I present to Thee in the words of Thy holy Church: Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis." — Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them."

Requiescant in pace. Amen.

May they rest in peace. Amen.

N.B. Pity the poor souls and recite for their relief some indulgenced prayers and ejaculations.

Prayer to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist

DEAR Jesus, in the Sacrament of the Altar, be forever thanked and praised. Love, worthy of all celestial and terrestrial love!
