 left to  His  whole  Church  to  be  a  perpetual  sacrifice  and  the life-giving food  of  His  own  faithful  people,  deliver  the  souls in purgatory,  and  especially  that  one  which  was  most  devoted to  this  mystery  of  infinite  love,  that  it  may  with  the same Thy  divine  Son,  and  with  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  ever  praise Thee for  Thy  love  therein  in  eternal  glory. Amen.

LORD GOD  ALMIGHTY,  I  pray  Thee  by  the  precious  blood which Thy  divine  Son  shed  on  this  day  upon  the  wood of the  cross,  especially  from  His  most  sacred  hands  and feet, deliver  the  souls  in  purgatory,  and  in  particular  that soul for  which  I  am  most  bound  to  pray;  that  no  neglect  of mine  may  hinder  it  from  praising  Thee  in  Thy  glory  and blessing Thee  forever. Amen.

LORD GOD  ALMIGHTY,  I  beseech  Thee  by  the  precious blood which  gushed  forth  from  the  side  of  Thy  divine Son Jesus,  in  the  sight  of,  and  to  the  extreme  pain  of  His most holy  Mother,  deliver  the  souls  in  purgatory,  and especially that  one  among  them  all  which  was  the  most devout to  her;  that  it  may  soon  attain  unto  Thy  glory, there to  praise  Thee  in  her,  and  her  in  Thee,  world  without end. Amen.

Indulgence of 100  days,  once  a  day. — Leo  XII,  Nov. 18,  1826.
