Let Us Pray O Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the Poor captive Souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the Soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe in Thy judgment, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames and do Thou O merciful Savior, send Thy Angels to conduct Thy servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen. May the Angels lead thee into Paradise. May the Martyrs receive thee at thy coming and take thee to the Holy City. May the Choirs of Angels receive thee and mayest thou have rest eternal. Amen.
