O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory! Deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the painful prison of Purgatory. We offer Thee, eternal Father, a sacrifice of praise and of prayer, accept it on behalf of the souls we commemorate this day, and let them pass from death to life.

During Mass — Have mercy, we beseech Thee, O Lord, on the souls of Thy servants (name them), for whom we offer this Victim of praise, humbly beseeching Thy majesty that by this sacrifice they may arrive at rest eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hail! most blessed Jesus, eternal Son of the most high God! O, deign to be merciful to those for whom we pray; Thou Who didst expire on the cross for their sake, give rest to their souls.

Hail! Sacred Blood that flowed for the sins of the world; wash away whatever stains may render Thy servants unfit to be admitted into heaven. O good and merciful God, look on the Face of Thy Christ, in Whom Thou art always well pleased, and permit the souls for which He suffered to rest eternally in Thy divine presence.

We beseech Thee, therefore, help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.

300 days (S. P. Ap., Jan. 30, 1950).
