 O Lord  thou  art  their  Father,  and  they  are  thy  children. Forget the  faults,  which,  through  the  frailty  of  human nature, they  have  committed  against  thee,  during  the  course of their  mortal  pilgrimage. Adorable Jesus! victim of propitiation  both  for  the  living  and  the  dead! vouchsafe, in thy  quality  of  Redeemer,  to  apply  the  merits  of  thy  passion and death  to  the  relief  of  those  souls,  whom  thou  punishest as their  sovereign  judge. Remember thy  faithful  followers and thy  spouses. Let some  drops  of  that  precious  blood, which thou  hast  shed  for  their  salvation,  flow  on  those  devouring flames;  and  let  the  infinite  price  of  that  sacred blood, afford  a  full  satisfaction  for  their  offences. Deliver them, O  most  merciful  God! from that  place  of  darkness and torture,  and  call  them  to  a  place  of  refreshment,  light and peace. Grant them  the  possession  of  the  sovereign good, after  which  they  so  ardently  sigh,  and  for  which  thou hast created  them. Receive them  into  thy  paternal  bosom, where they  will  praise  and  love  thee,  to  all  eternity. Amen.
