The Rosary for the Poor Souls
On the Cross: Psalm 129. De profundis
Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord; * Lord, hear my voice.
Let thine ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication.
If thou, O Lord, shalt observe our iniquities , * O Lord, who shall endure it?
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness; * and by reason of Thy law, I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on His word: * my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night, * let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy, * and with Him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel * from all his iniquities.
Or Pater and Ave
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee : Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners ; Now, and at the hour of our death. Amen
