Friday Prayers

O Lord God Almighty, I pray Thee, by the Precious Blood which thy Divine Son shed on this day upon the wood of the Cross, especially from his most sacred hands and feet, deliver the souls in purgatory, and in particular that soul for which I am most bound to pray; that no neglect of mine may hinder it from praising Thee in thy glory and blessing Thee for ever. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, and the De profundis (Psalm 130).

Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul, I pray and beseech thee that thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm desire of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate thy five most precious wounds; having before my eyes that which David spake in prophecy of thee, O good Jesus: They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have numbered all my bones.

Let us pray. Almighty and everlasting God, look upon the Heart of thy dearly beloved Son, and upon the praise and satisfaction which He offers thee in the name of sinners, and do thou, in thy great goodness, grant pardon to them who seek thy mercy, in the name of the same thy Son, Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee for ever and ever. Amen.
