Have mercy,  O  Lord,  have  mercy  on  the poor souls  in  purgatory.

V. Eternal  rest  give  unto  them,  O  Lord;

R. And  let  perpetual  light  shine  upon them!

V. O  Lord,  hear  my  prayer;

R. And  let  my  cry  come  unto  Thee!

GOD! the Creator  and  Redeemer  of all  the  faithful,  grant  to  the  souls  of  Thy servants departed  the  remission  of  all  their sins, that  through  pious  supplications  they may obtain  that  pardon  which  they  have  always desired,  Who  livest  and  reignest  now and forever. Amen.

ISIT, we  beseech  Thee,  O  Lord,  this habitation, and  drive  far  from  it  all  the snares of  the  enemy :  let  Thy  holy  angels  dwell herein, to  keep  us  in  peace,  and  may  Thy blessing be  always  upon  us. Through Our Lord Jesus  Christ,  Thy  Son,  Who  liveth  and reigneth with  Thee,  in  the  unity  of  the  Holy Ghost, one  God,  world  without  end. Amen.

Sprinkle your  bed  with  holy  water  and,  blessing yourself,  say  when  you  lie  down  to  rest:

Lord, into  Thy  hands  I  commend  my spirit.
