servants who have fallen asleep, Thou hast appeared to
their loved ones, O Lord, in mysterious visions clearly
inspiring them to pray, that they may remember the
departed, and do good works and labors of faith and love for
them, crying: ALLELUIA.
The universal Church of Christ unceasingly offers prayers
every hour for the departed throughout the world, for the sins
of the world are washed away by the most pure Blood of Thy
divine crown, and the souls of those who have fallen asleep
are translated from death to life and from earth to Heaven by
the power of the prayers offered for them at GodÁ-?s altars.
May the intercession of the Church for the dead, O Lord,
be a ladder to Heaven.
Have mercy on them, O Lord, through the intercession of the
most holy Mother of God and all the Saints.
Forgive them their sins for the sake of Thy faithful who cry
day and night to Thee.
For the sake of innocent children, O Lord, have mercy on
their parents, and by the tears of their mothers, forgive the
sins of their children.
For the sake of the prayers of innocent sufferers and the
blood of martyrs,
spare and have mercy on sinners.
Receive, O Lord,
