  From all evil,                        O Lord, deliver them.

  From Thy wrath,

  From the rigor of Thy justice,

  From the power of the devil,

  From the gnawing worm of conscience,

  From long-enduring sorrow,

  From eternal flames,

  From intolerable cold,

  From horrible darkness,

  From dreadful weeping and wailing,

  Through Thine admirable Conception,

  Through Thy holy Nativity,

  Through Thy most sweet Name,

  Through Thy baptism and holy fasting,

  Through Thy most profound humiliation,

  Through Thy prompt obedience,

  Through Thine infinite love,

  Through Thy sorrow and anguish,

  Through Thy bloody sweat,

  Through Thy bonds,

  Through Thy scourging,

  Through Thy crowning with thorns,

  Through Thy carrying of the Cross,

  Through Thy most cruel death,

  Through Thy five most Holy Wounds,

  Through Thy most bitter Cross and Passion,

  Through Thy holy Resurrection,

  Through Thine admirable Ascension,

  Through the coming of the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete,

  In the day of judgment,  

  O Lord, deliver them.

  
  

  We sinners,                          we beseech Thee, hear us.

  Thou, Who forgavest Magdalen and didst hearken to the prayer of  the thief,

  Thou, Who savest freely Thine elect,

  Thou, Who hast the keys of death and hell,

  That Thou wouldst be pleased to deliver the souls of our parents, relations, friends, and benefactors, from the pains of Purgatory,

  That Thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those of whom no special remembrance is made on earth,

  That Thou wouldst be pleased to fulfill all their desires,

  That Thou wouldst be pleased to receive them into the company of the blessed,

  King of awesome Majesty,

  Son of God,  

  we beseech Thee, hear us.

  Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

  grant unto them rest. (Do not strike bosom)

  Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

  grant unto them rest.

  Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

  grant unto them rest everlasting.

  Christ hear us,

  Christ graciously hear us.

  Lord, have mercy,

  Christ, have mercy.

  Lord, have mercy.

  From the gate of hell,

  deliver their souls, O Lord.

  O Lord, hear my prayer,

  and let my cry come unto Thee.

  Let us pray.

  O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant unto the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins; that, by pious supplication, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired. Grant this, O God, Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

  O Eternal God, Who, besides the general precept of charity, hast commanded a particular respect to parents, kindred, and benefactors, grant, we beseech Thee, that, as they were the instruments by which Thy Providence bestowed on us our birth, education, and innumerable other blessings, so our prayers may be the means to obtain for them a speedy release from their excessive sufferings, and free admittance to Thine infinite joys. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

  V. Eternal rest give them, O Lord.

  R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

  V. May they rest in peace.

  R. Amen.

  Visiting a Church or an Oratory on All Souls Day (No. 67)

  A plenary indulgence which is applicable only to the souls in purgatory is granted the Christian faithful who devoutly visit a church or an oratory on All Souls Day.

  This indulgence can be obtained either on the day mentioned above or, with the consent of the ordinary, on the preceding or following Sunday or on the solemnity of All Saints.

  This indulgence is already contained in the apostolic constitution, Indulgentiarum doctrina, norm 15. It is included here in light of the Sacred Penitentiary's deliberations since the constitution was issued.

  According to norm 16 of the apostolic constitution, this visit is to include the "recitation of the Lord's Prayer and the Creed (Pater and Credo)."

  Visiting a Cemetery (No. 13)

  An indulgence is granted the Christian faithful who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the dead. This indulgence is applicable only to the souls in Purgatory. This indulgence is a plenary one from November 1st through November 8th and can be gained on each one of these days. On the other days of the year this indulgence is a partial one.
