† In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee.
And I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of
heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because I
have offended Thee, my God, Who art all good and
By my sins I have contributed to the death of Jesus on
the cross. I come, therefore, contrite and repentant but
with a heart overflowing with boundless gratitude for
all the good Thou hast bestowed on me and my family.
Lord, let me not be separated from Thee, so that I
may love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul
and with all my strength. Having Thee in my
heart, I can at this very moment pay my whole
debt of gratitude to Thy infinite goodness.
DAILY PRAYER
O most powerful and merciful Lord, most loving
Jesus Who is King of all hearts, look down with
benign eyes upon the Souls in Purgatory who are
craving for Thy hand of mercy, and may the
sacrifices and prayers of this novena be acceptable
to Thee in their behalf.
Lord, come to their assistance so they may be
delivered from the abyss of fire and brought out of
the prison of suffering. I pray for them, especially
for those who, on earth, had done me good and for
those who have been forgotten by their loved ones.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness
and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of
Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in
this valley of tears Turn then, most gracious advocate, your
eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile show un to us the
blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet
Virgin Mary. 3x
SPECIAL PRAYER
O Divine Majesty, our Lord and Creator, be merciful to the faithful
departed for whom I offer this novena, especially to those who on
earth had done me favors, and may they attain to everlasting rest,
through the merits of the Virgin Mother who was filled with sorrow
upon seeing Thy Son taken into the sephulchre. Grant that they may be
purified by indulgences which I I wish to obtain in their behalf so that
they may receive forgiveness and unending peace. Vouchsafe, O Lord,
to release the Holy Souls from every bond of sin and may they rejoice
with Thy saints forever. Grant also, I beg of Thee, the favor which I ask
du ring this novena, if it be for Thy greater glory and the salvation of
souls. Amen
