Prayers For Intercession
Deliver Them from Purgatory
My Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine agony in the Garden, in Thy
scourging and crowning with thorns, on the way to Calvary, in Thy crucifixion
and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially on those that
are most forsaken; do Thou deliver them from the terrible torments they endure;
call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise. Amen.
For the Most Forgotten Soul
O Lord God Almighty, I beseech Thee by the Precious Body and Blood of Thy divine
Son Jesus, which He Himself on the night before His Passion gave as meat and
drink to His beloved Apostles and bequeathed to His Holy Church to be the
perpetual Sacrifice and life-giving nourishment of His faithful people, deliver
the souls in purgatory, but most of all, that soul which was most devoted to
this Mystery of infinite love, in order that it may praise Thee therefore,
together with Thy Divine Son and the Holy Spirit in Thy glory for ever. Amen.
In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through the death of your Son on the cross, you have overcome
death for us. Through his burial and resurrection from the dead you have made
the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who
died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God
of the living and the dead, may those who faithfully believed in you on earth
praise you for ever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
To Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus for the Conversion of Russia
O loving and compassionate Saint, deign to comfort our Russian brethren, the
victims of a long and cruel persecution of the Christian name; obtain for them
perseverance in the faith, progress in the love of God and of their neighbor,
and in confidence toward the most holy Mother of God; prepare for them holy
priests who shall make reparation for the blasphemies and sacrileges committed
against the holy Eucharist; grant that angelic purity, especially in the young,
and every Christian virtue may once more flourish amongst them, to the end that
this noble people, being delivered from all slavery and returning freely to the
one fold entrusted by the loving Heart of the Risen Christ to Saint Peter and
his successors, may at length taste the joy of glorifying the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of the holy Catholic Church. Amen.
