Thought
The Souls in Purgatory appreciate the things of God more fully than we. Enlightened by divine love, they understand the respect and obedience which God merited from them and the ingratitude and baseness of their sins.
The Lords Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.
Hail Mary (3 times)
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Gloria
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was, in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
De Profundis (Psalm 130)
V: Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, O Lord, Lord, hear my voice.
R: Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
V: If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark my iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand it?
R: For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord
V: My soul hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
R: From the morning watch even until night; let Israel hope in the Lord.
V: Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with Him plenteous redemption.
R: And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
V: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them:
R: May they rest in peace. Amen.
Prayer
Most beloved Jesus, by the merits of Thy five wounds, hear the pleas and release from the torments of Purgatory the faithful soul that did the most good on earth. Place it today at Thy Heavenly throne that it may join in honoring Thee and in guiding me to live according to its dictates.
