Novena for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
By: St. Alphonsus Liguori
Day 1
Jesus,
my Savior I have so often deserved to be cast into hell how great would be my
suffering if I were now cast away and obliged to think that I myself had caused
my damnation. I thank Thee for the patience with which Thou hast endured me. My
God, I love Thee above all things and I am heartily sorry for having offended
Thee because Thou art infinite goodness. I will rather die than offend Thee
again. Grant me the grace of perseverance. Have pity on me and at the same time
on those blessed souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to
their assistance with thy powerful intercession.
Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Prayer to Our Suffering
Savior for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And
lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Pater noster
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum
tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum
da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus
debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace; The Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou
amongst women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death.
Amen.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena; Dominus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et
benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis
peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane, have mercy on these Blessed Souls. Have mercy on them.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions here)
Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee; I entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for me a miserable sinner, who is in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen.
