                          Memorare u                                           O Gentlest Heart of Jesus u

                          Remember . . .                                        O’ gentlest heart of Jesus,
                   O most gracious Virgin Mary                            Ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
                     that never was it known                                Ever consumed with burning love,
                     that anyone who fled to                                    For the poor captive souls,
                thy protections, implored thy help                               Have mercy on the soul,
                   and sought thy intercession                                   for thy departed servant.
                        was left unaided.                                     Be not severe in Thy judgment,
                  Inspired with this confidence,                        But let some drops of Thy Precious Blood,
                          I fly unto thee,                                    fall upon the devouring flames,
                        O Virgin of virgins.                                  and Thou O’ Merciful Saviour,
                   My Mother!  To thee I come;                                 send Thy Angels to conduct,
                  before thee I stand, sinful and                            Thy departed servant to a place,
                sorrowful.  Oh Mother of the Word                             of refreshment light and peace.
               Incarnate, despise not my petitions,                                       Amen.
                      but, in thy mercy, hear                            May the souls of all the faithful departed,
                     and answer me.  Amen.                               Through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
                                                                                          Amen.
                                                                             Merciful Jesus grant eternal rest.
                        Most Merciful u

             Most merciful Father, we commend our
            departed into your hands.  We are filled
            with the sure hope that our departed will
             rise again on the last day with all who
                      have died in Christ.
            We thank you for all the good things you
          have given during our departed’s earthly life.
                 O Father, in your great mercy,
                   accept our prayer that the
             Gates of Paradise may be opened for
             your servant.  In our turn, may we too
               be comforted by the word of faith
              until we greet Christ in glory and are
               united with You and our departed.
                Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
