Thursday Prayer for the Holy Souls

Thursday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech Thee, by the Precious Body and Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, which He gave with His own hands upon the eve of His Passion to His beloved Apostles to be their meat and drink, and which He left to His whole Church to be a perpetual Sacrifice and life-giving food of His own faithful people, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and especially that one which was most devoted to this mystery of infinite love; that, with Thy Divine Son, and with Thy Holy Spirit, it may ever praise Thee for this Thy wondrous love in Thy eternal glory. 

Amen.  

Our Father,  Hail Mary,  De Profundis.

De Profundis

Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord;

Lord, hear my voice.

Let Thine ears be attentive; 

to the voice of my supplication.

If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities; 

Lord, who shall abide it?

For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness; 

and because of Thy law, I have waited for Thee, O Lord.

My soul hath waited on His word; 

my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

From the morning watch, even until night; 

let Israel hope in the Lord. 

For with the Lord there is mercy; 

and with Him is plenteous redemption. 

And He shall redeem Israel; 

from all his iniquities.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.  

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. 

And let perpetual light shine upon them. 

May they rest in peace. 

Amen. 

May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 

Amen.
