Lord God,

You so loved the world that

You sent Your only Son, Jesus Christ,

that we might come to know You, love You,

and serve You in this life,

and be happy with You forever in the next.

I pray for Your Divine Mercy

on all the faithful departed,

especially those relatives,

friends and neighbors

I now entrust to Your loving hands.

( pause to mention those you

wish to remember)

I pray through the intercession of Mary,

the Mother of God,

and of St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

The Little Flower

who promised to spend her Heaven

doing good on earth.  
May she also welcome into Everlasting Life

 all who have gone before us in faith.

Lord, may these and all who sleep in Christ

find in Your presence light, happiness and peace.

Amen

Our Lord dictated the following prayer
to St. Gertrude the Great
to release 1,000 Souls
from Purgatory each time it is said.

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the
Most Precious Blood
of Thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the holy souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal church,
those in my own home
and within my family.
Amen.
