In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy–to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth’s exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You, anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death’s hour, Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your final coming-that day known to You alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: Through His merciful Heart as through an open gate we pass through to heaven.
Amen!
O God, the everlasting Creator of all things,
remember that the souls of unbelievers were made by Thee and formed in Thine own image and likeness.
Remember that Jesus, Thy Son, endured a most bitter death for their salvation.
Permit not, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy Son should be any longer despised by unbelievers,
but do Thou graciously accept the prayers of holy men and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and be mindful of Thy mercy.
Forget their idolatry and unbelief, and grant that they too may some day know Him whom Thou hast sent,
even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Salvation, our Life and Resurrection,
by whom we have been saved and delivered, to whom be glory for endless ages.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
