 and ever  rejoice  in  His  holy  consolations. May the  inpouring  of  the  Holy  Ghost  cleanse our hearts,  and,  as  dew  sprinkled  over  our  innermost being,  may  His  presence  render  us fruitful  in  good  works. Give us  Thy  grace,  O Lord,  that  we  may  not  cling  to  the  perishable goods and  vain  honors  of  this  world,  but  pass safely beyond  them  to  the  everlasting  joys  of heaven,  which  Thou  hast  promised  to  those who love  and  serve  Thee  faithfully. We ask this of  Thee  in  the  name  of  Our  Lord  Jesus Christ, Thy  Son,  Who  liveth  and  reigneth with Thee,  in  the  unity  of  the  Holy  Ghost, world without  end. Amen.

ET us  pray:  Save  us,  we  beseech  Thee, O Lord, from  all  dangers  to  soul  or  body; and by  the  intercession  of  the  glorious  and blessed Mary,  ever  Virgin,  Mother  of  God,  of St.  Joseph,  of  Thy  holy  apostles,  Peter  and Paul, and  of  all  Thy  saints,  mercifully  grant  us health  and  peace. Do Thou  bring  to  naught all the  assaults  of  the  enemies  of  Thy  Church, and enable  her  to  serve  Thee  in  freedom  and in safety.

LESS our  Holy  Father,  the  Pope;  bless our friends,  relatives,  benefactors,  and  all those for  whom  we  have  promised  to  pray; and give  eternal  rest  to  the  faithful  departed, through Jesus  Christ,  Our  Lord. Amen.
