Novena For Our Dear Dead

THE HOLY ROSARY / DECADE OF PASSION

Lord, open our lips and inflame our hearts and cleanse them of useless and evil thoughts.  Englighten our minds, that we may seriously meditate on Your sufferings and death and the pains endured by Your most glorious Mother;  and deign to hear and receive us before Your great Majesty, You who live and reign forever.  Amen.


THE APOSTLE'S CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth;  and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;  who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.  He descended to the dead;  on the third day He rose again;  He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;  thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.  Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father, in heaven, Holy be Your name;  Your Kingdom come;  Your will be done on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread;  and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.  Do not bring us to the test, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

THE HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace!  The Lord is with you.  Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

HAIL HOLY QUEEN

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope!  To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;  to you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.  Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us;  and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.  O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

R:  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray

O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech You, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ, our Lord.  Amen.

L:  May the divine assistance remain always with us.
R:  Amen.
L:  May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R:  Amen.
L:  May the blessing of Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, descend upon us always.
