and ever rejoice in His holy consolations. May the inpouring of the Holy Ghost cleanse our hearts, and, as dew sprinkled over our innermost being, may His presence render us fruitful in good works. Give us Thy grace, O Lord, that we may not cling to the perishable goods and vain honors of this world, but pass safely beyond them to the everlasting joys of heaven, which Thou hast promised to those who love and serve Thee faithfully. We ask this of Thee in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
LET us pray: Save us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all dangers to soul or body; and by the intercession of the glorious and blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Mother of God, of St. Joseph, of Thy holy apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all Thy saints, mercifully grant us health and peace. Do Thou bring to naught all the assaults of the enemies of Thy Church, and enable her to serve Thee in freedom and in safety.
BLESS our Holy Father, the Pope; bless our friends, relatives, benefactors, and all those for whom we have promised to pray; and give eternal rest to the faithful departed, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
