Great God, who, by an effect of thine infinite goodness, hast renewed, in our days, in the apostolic charity and humility of thy blessed servant

Vincent, the spirit of thy wellbeloved Son, to preach the Gospel to the poor, relieve the afflicted, console the miserable, and add new lustre to the ecclesiastical order; grant, we beseech thee, through his powerful intercession, that we also, being delivered from the great misery of sin, may labour to please thee by the practice of the same humility.

Thou who hast the keys of death and hell,

That thou wouldst be pleased to deliver the souls of our parents, relations, friends, and benefactors, from the pains of hell, That thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those of whom no special remembrance is made on earth,

O eternal God, who, besides the general precept of charity, hast commanded a particular respect to parents, kin

dred, and benefactors; grant, we beseech thee, that, as they were the instruments by which thy providence bestowed on us our birth, education, and innumerable other blessings, So our prayers may be the means to obtain for them a speedy release from their excessive sufferings, and free admittance to thine infinite joys. Through Jesus, &c.

From the bonds of sin, wherein they remain entangled by the disorder of their affections, From the pains of Purgatory, justly inflicted on them as the proper effects of their sins, From that dreadful prison, whence there is no release till they have paid the last farthing, From all their torments, incomparably greater than the sharpest pains of this life,
