From all evil,
O Lord, deliver them.**
From Thy wrath,**O Lord, deliver them.**
From the rigor of Thy justice,**
From the power of the devil,**
From the gnawing worm of conscience,**
From long-enduring sorrow,**
From cruel flames,**
From intolerable cold,**
From horrible darkness,**
From dreadful weeping and wailing,**
Through Thy admirable conception,**
Through Thy Holy Nativity,**
Through Thy most sweet name,**
Through Thy baptism and holy fasting,**
Through Thy most profound humiliation,**
Through Thy prompt obedience,**
Through Thine infinite love,**
Through Thy sorrow and anguish,**
Through Thy bloody sweat,**
Through Thy bonds,**
Through Thy scourging,**
Through Thy crowning with thorns,**
Through Thy carrying of the cross,**
Through Thy most cruel death,**
Through Thy five holy wounds,**
Through Thy most bitter cross and passion,**
Through Thy holy Resurrection,**
Through Thine admirable Ascension,**
Through the coming of the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete,**
In the day of judgement,**


We sinners,
we beseech Thee, hear us.***
Thou Who forgavest Magdalen and didst hearken to the prayer of the thief,***we beseech Thee, hear us.***
Thou Who savest freely Thine elect,***
Thou Who hast the keys of death and hell,***
That Thou wouldst be pleased to deliver the souls of our parents, relations, friends, and benefactors from the pains of hell,***
That Thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those whom no special remembrance is made on earth,***
That Thou wouldst be pleased to grant them all the pardon and remission of their sins,***
That Thou wouldst be pleased to fulfill all their desires,***
That Thou wouldst be pleased to recieve them into the company of the blessed,***

King of awful Majesty,***we beseech Thee, hear us.***
Son of God,***we beseech Thee, hear us.***


Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Grant unto them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Grant unto them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Grant unto them rest everlasting.


Christ, hear us.Christ, graciously hear us.
Lord, have mercy.Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
From the gates of hell,
Deliver their souls, O Lord.
O Lord hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto thee.


Let us pray:

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all faithful, grant unto the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins; that, by pious supplication, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired. Grant this, O God, Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.


O eternal God, Who besides the general precept of charity, hast commanded a particular respect to parents, kindred, and benefactors, grant, we beseech Thee, that, as they were the instruments by which Thy Providence bestowed on us our birth, education, and innumerable other blessings, so our prayers may be the means to obtain for them a speedy release from their excessive sufferings, and free admittance to Thine infinite joys. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.


Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Litany of Faith

Lord, have mercy upon me.
Christ, have mercy upon me.
Lord, have mercy upon me.

O God the Father of heaven,
Have mercy on me. *

O God the Son, Redeemer of the world, *
O God the Holy Ghost, *
O Holy Trinity, one God, *
Thou, who being eternal truth, canst not deceive, *
Thou, who being infallible wisdom canst not be deceived, *
Thou, who hast built thy church on an immovable rock, *
Thou, who hast promised continual succor to thy church, *

That thou art the one true God, who rewardeth the good and punishest evil,
I believe firmly, O my God. **

That thou art one in essence and three in person, **
That thy divine Son became man and died for the salvation of the world, **
All that thou hast revealed in Holy Scripture; all that Jesus Christ has taught us in his Holy Gospel; all that the holy Apostles have preached; all that the General Councils have declared truths of faith; all that the Catholic Church orders me to believe, **
All articles of faith, written and unwritten, **
Without any hesitation or doubt; with an entire submission of my mind; with a perfect consent of my will; with an interior and exterior confession, **
On account of Thy supreme majesty; on account of Thy infallible word; on account of thy veracity, and infallibility, **
Even if it becomes for me a cause of persecution; even if I must lose all I possess; even if it costs me my life, **
In union with the lively faith of all the just; in union with the constant faith of all the martyrs; in union with the most perfect faith of the Blessed Virgin Mary, **


Our Father.

Let us pray:

O God, who, in the superabundance of thy goodness, hast called me to the true Catholic faith, give me the grace to persevere, constantly to the end of my life. Cast, too, a look of mercy on the heretics and unbelievers for whom thy divine Son shed his precious blood; enlighten and fortify them by thy supernatural grace, in order that they may acknowledge the true church in which alone men can be saved, and may courageously enter that church, without human fear, temporal motives, and vain subterfuges, and that thus by a true and active confession of faith they may attain everlasting salvation. Amen.
