How to pray the Chaplet of All Souls
(This chaplet is prayed on a 5 decade, 59 bead Marian Rosary)
On the Crucifix, recite Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for
mercy. If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could
stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are
feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I
put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait
for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. O
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is
unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will
redeem Israel from all their sins.
On each of the 2 large beads above the Crucifix, pray
1 Our Father
On the 3 small beads, recite this invocation
O good Jesus, have mercy on the souls in purgatory
or (mention name)

and grant me the grace to be reunited with it forever
in the bosom of Your goodness.
