OPENING PRAYER: HAVE MERCY ON THE SUFFERING SOULS
<\/strong>(To be repeated each day)<\/strong><\/p>

Hear ye not the spirits’ moaning
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0From the depths of cleansing fire?
Know ye not the burning anguish
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Of these souls \u2013 their hearts’ desire?<\/p>

Hear them cry in bitter sorrow,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sighing, weeping in their pains,
While they call on us who love them,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0“Break our heavy prison chains!”<\/p>

Though their lives on earth were holy,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0And their virtue manifest,
Yet some stains of imperfection
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Still prevent their perfect rest.<\/p>

And they weep in mournful numbers,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pleading for our fervent pray’r,
Oh, take pity on their sorrow,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Let their solace be your care.<\/p>

Place your pray’r, your pious off’ring
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0For these suffering souls, so poor,
In the hands of our dear Mother,
Of sweet Mary Virgin pure.<\/p>

With a mother’s love and mercy
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0She will lead them to her Son;
And their pain shall turn to glory
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There, before the Heav’nly throne.<\/p>
