 We recommend  likewise,  to  Thy  unbounded mercy, all  our  brethren  and  fellow-citizens throughout the  United  States,  that  they  may be blessed  in  the  knowledge  and  sanctified  in the  observance  of  Thy  most  holy  law;  that they may  be  preserved  in  union,  and  in  that peace which  the  world  can  not  give;  and  after enjoying the  blessings  of  this  life,  be  admitted to those  which  are  eternal.

Finally, we  pray  to  Thee,  O  Lord  of  mercy, to remember  the  souls  of  Thy  servants  departed who  are  gone  before  us  with  the  sign of faith,  and  repose  in  the  sleep  of  peace;  the souls of  our  parents,  relatives,  and  friends; of those  who,  when  living,  were  members  of this  congregation,  and  particularly  of  such as are  lately  deceased;  of  all  benefactors  who, by their  donations  or  legacies  to  this  church, witnessed their  zeal  for  the  decency  of  divine worship and  proved  their  claim  to  our  grateful and charitable  remembrance. To these,  O Lord,  and  to  all  that  rest  in  Christ,  grant,  we beseech  Thee,  a  place  of  refreshment,  light, and everlasting  peace,  through  the  same  Jesus Christ, Our  Lord  and  Saviour. Amen.

OLY Archangel  Michael! defend us  in battle,  that  we  may  not  perish  in  the tremendous judgment.

Indulgence of 100  days,  once  a  day. — Leo XIII,  August  19,  1893.
