LORD have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.

That we may be delivered from all iniquity,
That we may be delivered from all disordered passions of the mind,
That we may be delivered from the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil,
That we may be delivered from all occasions of sin,
That we may be delivered from plague, famine and war,
That we may be delivered from the wrath of God, and eternal damnation,
That we and all sinners may have true contrition, and full remission of our sins,
That all schismatics, heretics, and infidels, may be converted to the holy catholic and apostolic faith,
That we may always hate sin, and overcome all temptations,
That we may despise all worldly vanities and delights,
That we all may ever fear God, and fulfil his holy will,
That we may have both spiritual and corporal health,
That we may devoutly desire chastity and purity of life,
That we may fervently love humility and mildness,
That we may delight in pious prayer, fasting, and charitable alms,
That we may discreetly and fervently continue in the exercise of godliness,
That we may cheerfully and constantly suffer for the love of Christ,
That the souls in purgatory, and all afflicted persons may obtain heavenly consolations,
That our benefactors, and all that labour to save souls, may be blessed with abundance of grace and everlasting life,
That we may enjoy true peace and endless felicity,
That God, of his abundant mercy, may vouchsafe to bless this our pilgrimage,
That by thy pious intercession, it may be to the perfect health of our souls and bodies,
That thou wilt vouchsafe to grant our requests,

O holy Virgin and Martyr, pray for us.

Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world: Spare us, O Lord.
