May eternal light shine on them, O Lord, together with Thy saints forever, for Thou art merciful. Grant them, O Lord, eternal rest, and let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.
Post-Communion.
O God, Who willest that while we pray for the souls in purgatory, we should at the same time remember the most essential of our duties, grant us through Thy infinite merits and unbounded charity, the pardon of our past negligences. We will not defer the all-important duty of penance, lest it soon be too late to discharge our debts to Thee. We will fervently and perseveringly pray for the souls in purgatory, and apply to them also the fruits of our almsdeeds and exercises of mortification. O bountiful God! bless these resolutions, and strengthen us to observe them faithfully. Amen.
Last Gospel.
“I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the Last Day I shall rise out of the earth: and I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see my God. Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. This my hope is laid up in my bosom.”—Job xix. 25-27. After having sat in darkness, and dwelt amidst the shades of death, we shall rise to the contemplation of eternal life forever! “In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped: let me never be confounded!” Amen.
The Litany of the Saints.
Ant. Remember not, O Lord, our offences, nor those of our parents; neither take Thou vengeance of our sins.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
