Third Day, Novena for the Dead

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, I believe that in your wisdom and justice, you willed to purify all persons who die without having attained the state that they need for all eternity, all who have still to expiate completely the sins committed here on earth.

I also believe that you mercifully arranged that this process of purification can be aided by the prayers of the living, and especially by the Eucharist. Help me to pray for my brothers and sisters who have departed from this world. May their time of purification be short, and may they be quickly guided into that holy light promised by our Lord to Abraham and his descendants.

I offer you sacrifices and prayers of praise. Accept them for all the souls of the faithful departed, and admit them all to the eternal joy of heaven. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
