MY God,  I  recommend  to  Thy  clemency the holy  souls  in  purgatory,  and  especially those to  whom  I  am  most  indebted  by  the bond of  charity  or  of  justice;  and  chiefly  I implore  Thee  in  behalf  of  those  who,  during their life,  were  most  devout  to  the  Blessed Sacrament; as  also  those  who  have  most loved the  Blessed  Virgin. For this  I  offer  Thee, my good  Jesus,  Thy  wounds. Thy agony,  Thy death, and  all  the  merits  of  Thy  most  bitter Passion. These holy  souls  love  Thee  and desire most  ardently  to  be  united  with  Thee. Hear, then,  dear  Lord,  and  grant  this  my prayer  in  their  behalf,  which  I  present  to  Thee in the  words  of  Thy  holy  Church:  Requiem aeternam  dona  eis  Domine,  et  lux  perpetua  luceat eis."  —  Eternal  rest  give  unto  them,  O  Lord, and  let  perpetual  light  shine  upon  them."

''Requiescant in  pace. Amen. ''

May they  rest  in  peace. Amen.

N.B. Pity  the  poor  souls  and  recite  for  their  relief  some indulgenced  prayers  and  ejaculations.

EAR Jesus,  in  the  Sacrament  of  the  Altar, be forever  thanked  and  praised. Love, worthy of  all  celestial  and  terrestrial  love!
