- Prayers for
- the souls in purgatory
THIS chaplet for the dead is composed of four decades, that is to say, forty beads, in honor and memory of the forty hours that Our Lord Jesus Christ passed in Limbo, to deliver and conduct to heaven all the souls of the saints who died before Him.
Begin with the De Profundis. (Those who do not know it can say an Our Father and Hail Mary instead.)
On the large beads say: Eternal rest give to them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. O my God, I believe in Thee, because Thou art truth itself; I hope in Thee, because Thou art infinitely merciful; I love Thee with my whole heart, and above all things, because Thou art infinitely perfect, and I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I am truly sorry for having sinned, because Thou art infinitely good, and sin displeases Thee. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, never more to offend Thee. Amen.
On each of the small beads say:
Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation. Conclude with the De Profundis.
Indulgence of 60 years each time, applicable to the souls in purgatory.
