Amen.

For Friday
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 forever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, De profundis.
For Saturday
O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, I beseech Thee by the precious blood which gushed forth from the side of Thy divine Son Jesus, in the sight of, and to the extreme pain of His most holy Mother, deliver the souls in purgatory, and especially that one among them all which was the most devout to her; that it may soon attain unto Thy glory, there to praise Thee in her, and her in Thee, world without end. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, De profundis.
