LET US PRAY.

O God, whose property it is always to have mercy and to spare, receive our petitions, that we and all thy servants, who are bound by the chain of sin, may by the compassion of thy goodness mercifully be absolved.

Hear, we beseech thee, O Lord, the prayer of thy suppliants, and pardon the sins of them that confess to thee; that of thy bounty thou mayest grant us pardon and peace.

Out of thy clemency, O Lord, show thy unspeakable mercy to us, that so thou mayst both acquit us of our sins, and deliver us from the punishment we deserve for them.

O God, who by sin art offended, and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of thy people, who make supplication to thee, and turn away the Scourges of thy anger, which we deserve for our sins.

O Almighty and Eternal God, have mercy on thy servant N., our chief bishop, and direct him according to thy clemency in the way of everlasting salvation; that by thy grace he may desire such things as are agreeable to thy will, and perform them with all his strength.

O God, from whom are all holy desires, righteous counsels, and just works, give to thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts being disposed to keep thy commandments, and the fear of enemies having been taken away, the times, through thy protection, may be peaceable.

Inflame, O Lord, our reigns and hearts with the fire of thy Holy Spirit, that we may serve thee with a chaste body, and please thee with a clean heart.

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, give to the souls of thy servants departed the remission of all their sins; that through the help of pious supplications, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired.

Direct, we beseech thee, O Lord, our actions by thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by thy gracious assistance, that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from thee, and by thee be happily ended.

O Almighty and Eternal God, who hast dominion over the living and the dead, and art merciful to all those whom thou foreknowest shall be thine by faith and good works, we humbly beseech thee, that they for whom we have proposed to offer our prayers, whether this present world still retains them in the flesh, or the next hath already received them divested of their bodies, may, by the clemency of thy goodness

and the intercession cf thy saints, obtain pardon and full remission of all their sins: through, etc. R. Amen. V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my supplication come to thee.

V. May the Almighty and most merciful Lord graciously hear us. R. Amen.

V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

R. Amen.
