Introductory Prayer

Let us pray.

Lord, hear the prayers we will offer up to you every day of this month for the consolation of our deceased brothers and sisters and grant them a place of refreshing light and peace! Hear also the prayers which those souls will offer up to you for our intention that we might ultimately obtain, through their intercession, the graces for which we pray.

  • The Anguished Appeals — The 7th

    Allegory of the Eucharist, Juan Correa, 1690

    My Son, look up and see how your sins hang Me on the Cross. I am bleeding for love of you. I am sweating for love of you. I am thirsty for love of this needful world. None of you is willing to console Me, rather, you offer Me vinegar when I am thirsty. You all stand afar, mock and criticize Me. My son, see how you are speaking falsely against your neighbor. Instead of praying for my Holy Church, you stand up to criticize it. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ Whom you are criticizing. The Church is My Body Whom you are crucifying.

    My son, stand at the foot of My Holy Cross and offer, with My Mother, the whole world to Me. I will accept them and offer them to My Father. They will be His sons and daughters, and obey His commands. The wrath of the Eternal Father will be calmed, My holy wounds will be healed. Then, My Kingdom will come on earth. Son, have yourself crucified for Me and with Me on the Holy Cross of salvation. This is what I mostly need of you in atonement for your sins and those of the whole world. Son, I did not appeal for these things to the world, but to you, because I love you and I want you to show Me love.

    I promise to draw all men with you to Myself through you. Accept My Anguished Appeal, O My loving son. I will offer all your sacrifices that will be acceptable to God in reparation for your sins and those of the whole world. In the end, the whole world will live in Me, with me and for Me. My Sacred Side will be opened for all men as a refuge. They will draw the Living Water from the Fountain of Life that pours out from My Sacred Side. Son, let My Will be done on earth. Let My Will be done in you. Suffer for Me and with Me. Die for Me and live in Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ. I love you. I bless you all.
    (Silence)

    My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.

    O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.

    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

    Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

    O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I offer You the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ; His flesh covered with wounds and blood, His agony in the garden, His scourging, His crowning with thorns, His rejection, His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, along with all the sufferings of Your holy Church and the blood of martyrs, in reparation for my sins and those of the whole world. Amen.

    Agonizing Jesus, I offer You my heart to be united with Your Agonizing Heart as a co-bearer of Your agony. Jesus, I wish to be in agony with You so as to hasten Your Glorious Reign of Peace. Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Salve Regina

Hail holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate thine eyes of mercy towards us, and, after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

The Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

Lord Jesus, have mercy on the souls detained in Purgatory. It was for their salvation that you took on our human nature and suffered a most painful death. Have mercy on their burning desire to see you, have mercy on their tears of repentance. Through the merits of your Passion remit the sentence they incurred by their sins. Dear, loving Jesus, may your Blood descend on those dear souls! May it shorten their time of atonement and may they soon be called to eternal happiness in your presence! Amen.

De Profundis

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord hear my voice! O Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleading. If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt, Lord who would survive? But with you is found forgiveness: For this I revere you. My soul is waiting for the Lord more than a watchman for daybreak. Let the watchman count on daybreak and Israel on the Lord. Israel indeed will he redeem from all its iniquity. Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
