The Souls in Purgatory

The Eternal Rest Prayer

V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

And may their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

(Note: You can get a partial indulgence for the Souls by saying this prayer.)

Petition to Mary for the Suffering Souls

O Immaculate Mother, Queen of Heaven, hear the cries of your suffering children in purgatory and intercede for them at the throne of the Almight. Behold in them, O Mother most faithful, the image of your Divine Son Who offered Himself in their behalf. Recall His bitter passion and death, and see in them His very sufferings. We feel confident, then, O Mother of Mercy, that you will obtain their liberation; so that they, in union with you and the choir of Heaven, may contemplate the Beatific Vision in heaven forever. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Amen.

"De Profundis" (Psalm 130)

The 130th Psalm has traditionally been recited for the Souls in Purgatory

Out of the depths I cry to Thee, O Lord!

Lord, hear my voice! Let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

If Thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I hope;

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
