Rh am now encouraged to ask of thee a general pardon of all my sins, and the gift of ﬁnal perseverance. Trusting in the prayers of my Jesus, I ask of thee, O my God, all virtues in an heroic degree, and all the efficacious helps necessary to make me truly a saint. I ask of thee the conversion of all sinners, and particularly those who are related to me. Amen.

Pray, pray for yourself, and for all poor sinners; pray with great conﬁdence, and be assured that your prayers, united with the prayers of Jesus, shall be heard.

But pray particularly for sorrow for your sins, for the gift of perseverance and of divine love; and recommend to God, in a special manner, your relatives, sinners, and the souls in purgatory.

TERNAL Father, I offer to thee the sacriﬁce which thy beloved Son Jesus made of himself upon the cross, and now renews upon this altar; and I offer it to thee in the name of all creatures, together with the Masses which have been celebrated, and which shall be celebrated, in the whole world, in order to adore thee, and to give thee the honour which thou dost deserve: to render to thee due thanks for thy innumerable beneﬁts, to appease thy anger for our sins, and to give thee due satisfaction for them; to entreat thee also for myself, for the Church, for the whole world, and for the blessed souls in purgatory. Amen.
