Domine Iesu Christe, Rex gloriæ, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de pœnis inferni et de profundo lacu. libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum; Sed signifer sanctus Michael repræsentet eas in lucem sanctam, quam olim Abrahæ promisisti Abrahae et semini eius. Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus; tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus. Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahæ promisisti et semini eius.1
