PRAYERS FOR THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

Lord, we beseech Thee in the tenderness of Thy great mercy to have pity upon the souls of thy servants. Purge them from the defilements whereby they have been stained, and give them inheritance in everlasting salvation.

O God, who yearnest to save the souls of men and art eager to pardon, hear, we beseech Thee, the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all thy saints, and grant to our departed relatives and friends speedily to come unto repose without end and the blessed joys of heaven.

Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be…

DE PROFUNDIS (PS. CXXIX)

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand it? For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord. From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. Because with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him plentiful redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

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

Let us Pray

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all Thy faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins; that, through pious supplications, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

R. Amen.
