Evening Prayers

This is the second post of our daily prayers routine.

For evening prayers we say:

2 - Our Father
2 - Hail Mary
2 - Glory Be
Angel of God

Prayer for a Deceased Man
Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers, wherein we humbly pray Thee to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Mark, whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world, that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light, and bid him be a partaker with Thy Saints. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Seven Days of Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
My Jesus, by the sorrows You suffered in Your agony in the garden, in Your scourging and crowning with thorns, in Your journey to Calvary, in Your crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken; deliver them from the torments they endure; call them and admit them to Your most sweet embrace in paradise, where You live with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Sunday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Blood, which Your divine Son Jesus shed in the garden, deliver the souls in purgatory, and especially that one which is most forsaken of all, and bring it into Your glory, where it may praise and bless You forever. Amen.

Monday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech your by the Precious Blood which Your divine Son Jesus shed in His cruel scourging, deliver the souls in purgatory, and among them all, especially that soul which is nearest to its entrance into Your glory, that it may soon begin to praise You and bless You forever. Amen.

Tuesday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Blood of Your divine Son Jesus that was shed in His bitter crowning of thorns, deliver the souls in purgatory, and among them all, particularly that soul which is in the greatest need of our prayers, in order that it may not long be delayed in praising You in Your glory and blessing You forever. Amen.

Wednesday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Blood of Your divine Son Jesus that was shed in the streets of Jerusalem while He carried on His sacred shoulders the heavy burden of the Cross, deliver the souls in purgatory and especially that one which is the richest in merits in Your sight, so that, having soon attained the high place in glory to which it is destined, it may praise You triumphantly and bless You forever. Amen.

Thursday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Body and Blood Your divine Son Jesus, which He Himself on the night before His passion gave as meat and drink to His beloved Apostles and bequeathed to His Holy Church to be the perpetual sacrifice and life-giving nourishment of His faithful people, deliver the souls in purgatory, but most of all , that soul which was most devoted to this Mystery of infinite love, in order that it may praise You therefore, together with Your divine Son and the Holy Ghost in Your glory forever. Amen.

Friday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Blood which Jesus Your divine Son did shed this day upon the tree of the cross, especially from His sacred hands and feet, deliver the souls in purgatory, and particularly that soul for whom I am most bound to pray, in order that I may not be the cause which hinders You from admitting it quickly from the possession of Your glory where it may praise You and bless You forevermore. Amen.

Saturday - O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech You by the Precious Blood which gushed forth from the sacred side of Your divine Son Jesus in the presence and to the great sorrow of His most holy Mother, deliver the souls in purgatory and among them all especially that soul which has been most devout to this noble Lady, that it may come quickly into Your glory, there to praise You in her and her in You through all the ages. Amen.

After the daily prayer, then we pray:
1- Our Father
1 - Hail Mary
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Merciful Father, hear our prayers and console us. As we renew our faith in Your Son, whom You raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His resurrection, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Family Prayer
God made us a family,
We need one another,
We love one another,
We forgive one another,
We work together,
We play together,
We worship together,
Together we use God's word,
Together we grow in Christ,
Together we love all men,
Together we serve our God,
Together we hope for heaven.
These are our hopes and ideals
Help us to attain them, O God
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Renewal of the Family to the Sacred Heart
Oh sweet Savior, kneeling humbly at Thy feet we renew the consecration of our family to Thy Divine Heart. Be forever our King. We have full and complete confidence in Thee. May Thy spirit fill our thoughts, our desires, our words, and our works. Bless our undertakings, take part in joys, our trials, and our labors. Grant to us to know Thee better, love Thee more, and serve Thee without fail. From one pole of the earth to the other may the cry resound "Beloved, blessed and gloried, be everywhere and forever the triumphant Heart of Jesus." Amen.

Then we name our patron saints -
St. Blase - pray for us.
St. Stephen - pray for us.
St. Cormac - pray for us.
St. Theodoric - pray for us.
St. Isidore - pray for us.
St. Gianna - pray for us.
St. Joseph - pray for us.
Blessed Virgin Mary - pray for us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. (three times)

Eternal rest grant unto Mark O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Then we say 5 decades of the rosary for a special intention. After the rosary we say a prayer for after the rosary, the Memorare, and the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. Then we are done.
