O Lord God almighty, I pray Thee, through the precious blood which Thy
divine Son Jesus shed on this day on the altar of the cross, especially
from His most holy hands and feet; set free the souls in purgatory, and
especially the one for which I ought most to pray to Thee; in order that
it may not be owing to my fault that Thou dost not quickly take it to
praise Thee in Thy glory, and to bless Thee forever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary.

O Lord God almighty, I supplicate Thee, through the precious blood which
poured forth from the side of Thy divine Son Jesus, in the sight and to
the exceeding suffering of His most holy Mother; set free the souls in
purgatory, and especially, among them all, the one which was most devout
to this great Queen; in order that it may speedily come to Thy glory to
praise Thee in her, and her in Thee for all eternity. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary.

Indulgence of a hundred days each time; applicable to the dead.
An Invocation of the Most Holy Trinity for the Souls in Purgatory.
O God of all goodness, Father of mercies, Who, at the prayers and fastings
of Thy faithful people, didst vouchsafe to send Thy angels to break
asunder the fetters of Thy holy apostle Peter, and to open the doors of
his prison; hear even also on this day the prayers and supplications of
Thy Church, and send Thy angel to the souls for whom we pray, that, the
doors of their prison being opened wide, they may be happily received into
the bosom of Thy mercy.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc., etc.
O Son of God, Saviour of souls, Who didst refresh the three children in
the burning fiery furnace, pour down upon the souls that cry to Thee from
the flames, Thy heavenly dew. Thy precious blood alone can quench the
flames of purgatory; oh, let it now flow down upon these suffering souls,
and do Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon them.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc., etc.
O Spirit of love, have compassion on the cruel torment which these souls
endure, that are filled with the purest charity, and, aspiring without
ceasing towards their God, cry aloud in their distress, “I thirst: I
thirst after my God!” and yet cannot attain unto the object of their love,
nor receive the least drop of that torrent of pure delights. O Holy
Spirit, grant that, having felt the fiercest pangs of love, they may taste
its heavenly delights in a blessed eternity. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc., etc.
Prayer that may be used by Surviving Friends.
