Prayer for the Liberation of Souls in Purgatory

By Saint Mathilde

Our Father in heaven.

Humbly I pray to you
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the poor souls
Whom you yourself take as your creatures
If they have not loved you
Nor rendered you due honor.
To you I offer reparation and penance
In union with the love and goodness
Of your Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Holy be your name.

Humbly I pray to you,
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the souls
Who have hot glorified your Name and
Who frequently pronounced it in vain.
As reparation and penance I offer you
All the teachings with which your Beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ, has glorified
Your Name on earth.

Your kingdom come.

I pray to you humbly,
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the souls
Who have not desired
With ardent love your holy kingdom.
For those sins I offer in sacrifice
The powerful desire of your Beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
With which he wishes that everyone
Be admitted in your eternal kingdom.

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I humbly pray to you,
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the souls
Who did not submit to your will,
But followed their own will.
In reparation and penance I offer
The Divine Heart of Jesus and his great submission.

Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.

I humbly pray to you
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the souls their sins,
Because they did not love
Nor forgive their enemies.
In reparation and penance,
I offer you in sacrifice
The holy words of your Beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
With which he said while on the Cross:
“Father, forgive them,
For they do not know
What they are doing.”

And lead us not into temptation.

Humbly I pray to you,
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the souls
Who did not oppose temptations,
Thereby yielding to
The seductions of the Evil One.
For this they fell into ruin.
In reparation and penance I offer
The obedience, the exhausting works,
And all the bitter sufferings,
And death of your Beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ.

And deliver us from evil. Amen.

Humbly I pray to you,
Eternal and merciful Father,
Forgive the poor souls
And take them to Jesus Christ
In the kingdom of Glory
Where you live forever. Amen.
