 Jesus, hear us.

''Jesus, graciously hear us. ''

V. Pray for us, all ye saints of God.

R. That by your merits we may attain to everlasting life.

Lord Jesus Christ, Crown of thy saints,do thou have mercy on thy people, who are called by thy Name, and by the merits of all thy saints be merciful to our iniquities. Remember all the faithfulness and the love which they kept always to thee even unto death. Behold, their innocent blood so ruthlessly shed crieth unto thee from the ground, beseeching thy mercy. Be thou appeased, O our Lord, by their merits which we now offer thee, and grant us to enjoy their society in heaven, on whose merits and patronage we rely on earth. Who livest, &amp;c. Amen.
