The Chaplet of All Souls

How to pray The Chaplet of All Souls

This devotion is prayed on the Marian Rosary of 59 beads.

On the Crucifix, recite Psalm 130 (129) De profundis or Out of the Depths:

Psalmus 129 (130)  
De profundis

De profúndis † clamávi ad te, Dómine: †† *
Dómine, exáudi vocem meam :
2  Fiant aures tuæ intendéntes: *
in vocem deprecatiónis meæ.

3  Si iniquitátes observáveris, Dómine: *
Dómine, quis sustinébit?
4  Quia apud te propitiátio est: *
et propter legem tuam sustínui te, Dómine.

5  Sustínuit ánima mea in verbo ejus: *
sperávit ánima mea in Dómino.
6  A custódia matutína usque ad noctem: *
speret Israël in Dómino.

7  Quia apud Dóminum misericórdia: *
et copiósa apud eum redémptio.
8  Et ipse rédimet Israël: *
ex ómnibus iniquitátibus ejus.

      Psalm (129) 130    
      De profundis

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice!
O let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleading.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness:
for this we revere you.

My soul is waiting for the Lord.
I count on his word.
My soul is longing for the Lord
more than watchman for daybreak.
Let the watchman count on daybreak
and Israel on the Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption,
Israel indeed he will redeem
from all its iniquity.

endured at the foot of the Cross.
O good Jesus,
have mercy on them!"

and the sacerd water from Your Heart,
pierced by the lance.
O good Jesus,
open to this soul the gate of heaven,
and grant me the grace
to be reunited with it
forever in the bosom of Your goodness."
