PRAYER FOR THE DEAD
Prayer of St. Gertrude for the Holy Souls
Eternal Father, I offer you the Most Precious Blood of your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with all the Masses said throughout the world today for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
Prayer for the Intercession of St. Nicholas of Tolentino
St. Nicholas, you were attentive to the pleas of many needy souls and through your prayers and penance you hastened their enjoyment of the vision of God. Look with compassion on our beloved deceased, and obtain for them by your prayers the full forgiveness of their sins so that they may experience the happiness and peace of the Father’s Presence.
Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, pray for us. (Repeat 3 times)
Jesus and Mary, I love you, save souls
Prayer to Our Lady of Montligeon
(All) Our Lady of Deliverance, have mercy on all our departed loved ones, especially those who are most in need of the Lord's mercy. Intercede for those who have gone before us, and may the purifying love of God lead them to full deliverance. May our prayer, united with the prayer of the whole Church, obtain for them joy beyond all their desires, and bring consolation and relief to our loved ones in their suffering and
distress. Mother of the Church, help us, pilgrims on earth, to be better in living each day of our journey towards the Resurrection. Heal the wounds of heart and soul. Help us to become witnesses of the Unseen God, seeking already what the eye cannot see. Grant us the grace to become apostles of hope, like those who keep vigil awaiting the dawn. Refuge of sinners and Queen of all Saints, gather us all, one day, in our Father's House, for the eternal Easter, through Jesus Christ our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Our Lady of Montligeon, pray for the souls in Purgatory.
