Turn not away Thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Thy mercy in the morning: for in Thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to Thee. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord; to Thee have I fled: teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God. Thy good Spirit shall lead me into the right land: and for Thy name’s sake, O Lord, Thou wilt quicken me in Thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble: and in Thy mercy Thou wilt destroy my enemies. And Thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am Thy servant. Glory be to the Father, etc. _Ant._ Remember not, O Lord, our offences, nor those of our parents, and take not revenge of our sins. Efficacious Prayers for the Souls in Purgatory. A Daily Exercise For The Relief Of The Poor Souls. O most loving God, Father of mercies, God of infinite goodness, behold me humbly prostrate before Thy throne; I pray and beseech Thee to have pity on the holy souls that are in the pains of purgatory. Cast on them a look of mercy, free them from their pains, and put them in possession of the inheritance of heaven. Remember that they are the work of Thy hands, redeemed by the most precious blood of Thy divine Son Jesus: deal with them according to Thine infinite mercy. Hear, O Lord, the prayer I make to Thee with all confidence, through the merits of the Passion and death of Thy most dear Son Jesus, that they may be consoled, and may enjoy without delay that immortal glory which Thou hast prepared for Thine elect. O merciful Lord, have pity upon them, according to our trust in Thee. Amen. _Prayers._ 1. O most sweet Jesus, through the sweat of blood which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemani, have pity upon the holy souls in purgatory, and in particular upon the one which was most devout to the most Holy Trinity. Have pity upon them, O Jesus, have pity upon them. Our Father, Hail Mary, and Eternal rest, etc. O turn to Jesus, Mother! turn, And call Him by His tenderest names; Pray for the holy souls that burn This hour amid the cleansing flames. 2.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pangs which Thou didst suffer in Thy most painful crowning with thorns, have pity upon those dear souls, and particularly upon the one which was most devout to the immaculate heart of Mary.
