 From the  morning watch even  unto  night,  let Israel hope  in  the  Lord.

Because with  the  Lord there  is  mercy:  and  with       Him  plenteous  redemption.

And He  shall  redeem   Israel  from  all  His  iniquities.

The Sovereign Pontiff,  Clement  XII,  by  a  brief,  Cceleste Ecclesiae thesauros,  Aug.  11,  1737,  granted  an  indulgence of 100  days  to  all  the  faithful  who,  at  the  sound  of  the  bell, at the  first  hour  after  nightfall,  shall  say  devoutly,  on  their knees, the  psalm  De  profundis,  or  the  Our  Father,  the  Hail Mary, and  the  Requiem aeternam.

The Sovereign Pontiff,  Pius  VI,  by  a  rescript  of  the Sacred Congregation  of  the  Propaganda,  March  18,  1781, granted these  indulgences  to  all  the  faithful  who  may happen to  dwell  in  a  place  where  no  bell  for  the  dead  is sounded,  provided  they  shall  say  the  De  profundis,  or  the Our Father,  and  the  Hail  Mary,  etc.,  about  nightfall.

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.
