A CHAPLET FOR THE SOUL

Leader: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

All: Amen

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

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 those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Our 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.

obtain for them a speedy release from their excessive sufferings and free admittance

Novena Prayers for the Soul

All: Lord, help us to see death for what it really is - the end of poverty and the beginning
of riches; the end of frustration and the beginning of fulfillment; the end of fear and
the beginning of tranquility; the end of pain and the beginning of joy; the end of
weakness and the beginning of strength.

O Lord Jesus, whose rich and unforgettable life was lived in the faith that the love
which surrounds us, is as real and dependable as that of a father, let that same
sense of trust and hope steady us at this time.

Let not grief overwhelm us, or a sense of loss embitter us. But in the hour of our
sadness, let there arise a new joy for so much is given to us. Help us to see that
what we love becomes part of us, interfused with our lives, blended with mind and
memory, hollowed forever within our soul. Let not grief take away our hope, or
bereavement blind us to what always remains good and lovely and indestructible.

O gracious Spirit of Peace, come alive within our experience and hurt, within our
sorrow and isolation, within the sadness of today and the loneliness of tomorrow,
come alive as the peace and trust which nothing life or death can kill. Cast out our
fears and let not our hearts be troubled, knowing that this world remains our Father's
house. These, our prayers, we offer for the soul of ELCITA, through Christ, our
Lord, Amen.

Leader: Eternal rest grant unto ELCITA, O Lord.

All: And let perpetual light shine upon ELCITA,
Leader: May ELCITA rest in peace, O Lord,
All: Amen.
Leader: May the soul of ELCITA and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace.
All: Amen.
