Lord Jesus Christ, who, after Thy glorious victory over the power of the devil, didst descend into Limbo, and tookest thence the souls of the Fathers, till then detained there: extend, I beseech Thee, the virtue of Thy most precious blood and passion to the faithful in Purgatory, that they may come to Thy eternal joys. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, at whose patience in torments and blessed death, many beating their breasts lamented their offences; by Thy bitter passion and death, give me grace with my whole heart to grieve for my sins, and never to offend Thee more. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, who wouldst for my sake be buried in a new monument, give me, O Lord, my God, a new heart, that dying in Thee, I may happily participate in the glory of Thy resurrection. Amen.
