(by Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help
or sought thine intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee I come,
before thee I humbly present myself,
sinful and sorrowful.
[Mention here your request.]
O mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petition,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell; the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father Almighty;
from there He will come 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 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.
O my God, I firmly believe
that You are one God in three Divine Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
I believe that Your Divine Son became man and died for our sins,
and that He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches,
because You revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Hail Mary…
O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and promises,
I hope to obtain pardon of my sins,
the help of Your grace, and life everlasting,
through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Hail Mary…
O my God, I love You above all things,
with my whole heart and soul,
because You are all-good and worthy of all love.
I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You.
I forgive all who have injured me,
and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner.
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Recite the Mystery:
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell,
and lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
In November and Rosaries for the Dead: The ‘Eternal Rest’ prayer is often prayed in place of the Fatima Prayer during the month of November (especially after dusk on All Saints Day and on All Souls Day) and during Rosaries prayed for the dead, such as at Funeral Vigils. Start by dedicating the prayer.
For our departed loved ones (or state a name), especially for the holy souls in Purgatory, we pray:
Eternal rest grant unto him/her (them), O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine upon him/her (them).
May he/she (they) rest in peace.
Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to you,
and for all who do not have recourse to you,
especially for the enemies of the Holy Church,
and for those recommended to you.
Amen.
Lord, through the intercession of Mary,
Your most obedient Daughter,
grant me the grace of contrition for my sins
and conformity to your will.
They went to a place called Gethsemane;
and [Jesus] said to his disciples,
“Sit here while I pray.”
He took with him Peter and James and John,
and began to be distressed and agitated.
And he said to them,
“I am deeply grieved, even to death;
remain here, and keep awake.”
Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw,
knelt down, and prayed,
“Father, if you are willing,
remove this cup from me;
yet, not my will but yours be done.”
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him
and gave him strength.
In his anguish he prayed more earnestly,
and his sweat became like great drops of blood
falling down on the ground.
Then he came to the disciples
and found them sleeping;
and he said to Peter,
“So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?
Stay awake and pray
that you may not come into temptation;
the spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.”
(Mk 14:32-34; Lk 22:41-44; Mt 26:40-41)

Lord, through the intercession of Mary,
Your most sorrowful Mother,
grant me the grace of self-denial and discipline,
mortifying my senses perfectly
to overcome sin and temptation.
When morning came,
all the chief priests and the elders of the people
conferred together against Jesus
in order to bring about his death.
They bound him, led him away,
and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
They began to accuse him, saying,
“We found this man perverting our nation,
forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor,
and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”
Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.
For this I was born,
and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth
listens to my voice.”
Pilate then called together the chief priests,
the leaders, and the people, and said to them,
“You brought me this man as one
who was perverting the people;
and here I have examined him in your presence
and have not found this man guilty
of any of your charges against him.
I will therefore have him flogged and release him.”
But all together they shouted out,
“Away with this man!
Crucify him! Crucify him!
Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
(Mt 27:1-2; Lk 23:2; Jn 18:37-38; Lk 23:13-14,16,18a,21b; Jn 19:1)

O Mary, conceived without sin…
Lord, through the intercession of Mary,
Your most prudent Mother,
grant me the grace of moral courage
to do what is right, not what is popular,
to be in the world, but not of the world.
Then the soldiers of the governor
took Jesus into the praetorium;
and they gathered the whole cohort around him.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
and after twisting some thorns into a crown,
they put it on his head.
They put a reed in his right hand
and knelt before him and mocked him, saying,
“Hail, King of the Jews!”
They spat on him,
and took the reed and struck him on the head.
[The ungodly] reasoned unsoundly, saying to themselves,
“Let us lie in wait for the righteous man,
because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions.
He professes to have knowledge of God,
and calls himself a child of the Lord.
Let us test him with insult and torture,
so that we may find out how gentle he is,
and make trial of his forbearance.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death,
for, according to what he says, he will be protected.”
(Mt 27:27-230; Wis 1:16*, 2:1*,12a,13,19-20)
Our Father…

Lord, through the intercession of Mary,
Your most compassionate Spouse,
grant me the grace of forbearance in times of tribulation,
and empathy for the suffering of others.
As [the Jews] led him away,
they seized a man,
Simon of Cyrene,
who was coming from the country,
and they laid the cross on him,
and made him carry it behind Jesus.
A great number of the people followed [Jesus],
and among them were women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
But Jesus turned to them and said,
“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me,
but weep for yourselves and for your children.
For if they do this when the wood is green,
what will happen when it is dry?”
Yet it was our pain that he bore,
our sufferings he endured.
We thought of him as stricken,
struck down by God and afflicted.
But the Lord laid upon him
the guilt of us all.
Because of his anguish
he shall see the light;
because of his knowledge
he shall be content;
My servant, the just one,
shall justify the many,
their iniquity he shall bear.
(Lk 23:26-29,31; Is 53:4,11)

Lord, through the intercession of Mary,
Your most beloved Mother,

When they came to the place that is called The Skull
they crucified Jesus there with the criminals,
one on his right and one on his left.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them;
for they do not know what they are doing.”
One of the criminals who were hanged there
kept deriding him and saying,
“Are you not the Messiah?
Save yourself and us!”
But the other rebuked him, saying,
“Do you not fear God,
since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
And we indeed have been condemned justly,
but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me
when you come into your kingdom.”
He replied, “Truly I tell you,
today you will be with me in Paradise.”
From noon on, darkness came over the whole land
until three in the afternoon.
Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said,
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
Having said this, he breathed his last.
And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two,
from top to bottom;
and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;
When the centurion and those who were with him,
keeping watch over Jesus,
saw the earthquake and what took place,
they were filled with awe, and said,
“Truly this was the Son of God!”
(Lk 23:33-34,39-41*,42-43; Mt 27:45; Lk 23:46; Mt 27:51,54)

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
