Pious Invocations for
the Souls in Purgatory

From the Holy Bible:
"It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins."

(2 Machabees 12:46)

Please add after each invocation the ejaculation:
My Jesus Mercy!

Let us pray

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed, the remission of all their sins, that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

May they rest in peace.

Amen.
