FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY

Have mercy O gentle Jesus  on the souls detained in Purgatory. Thou Who for their ransom didst take upon Thyself our human nature and suffer the cruel death. Pity their sighs and the tears they shed when they raise their longing eyes toward Thee; and by virtue of Thy Passion cancel  the penalty due to their sins. May Thy Blood, 0 tender Jesus, Thy Precious Blood, descend into Purgatory to solace and refresh those who there languish in captivity! Reach forth Thy hand to them, and lead them into the realms of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
We pray Thee 0 Lord, relieve the souls detained in the punishment of Purgatory, whom by Thy Most Precious Blood Thou redeemest.
