PRAYER
O GENTLEST Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant
William
Be not severe in Thy judgment but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou O merciful Saviour send Thy Angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord! and let perpetual light shine upon him. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on him. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for him. St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart pray for him.
