DE PROFUNDIS
PSALM 129 (130)
V. Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, O Lord, Lord, hear my voice.
R. Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
V. If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark my iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand it?
R. For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
V. My soul hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
R. From the morning watch even until night; let Israel hope in the Lord.
V. Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with Him plenteous redemption.
R. And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
R. and let perpetual light shine upon them:
V. May they rest in peace
R. Amen.
LET US PRAY: O Lord Jesus, graciously hear the pleas of the Holy Souls. By the merits of Thy Passion and Death release them from the pains of Purgatory. Particularly the soul most devoted to Your Virgin Mother, that he may evermore praise Thee in Heaven and intercede for me. Amen.
PRAYER OF SAINT GERTRUDE THE GREAT FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY
(A prayer which would release many souls from Purgatory each time it is recited)
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

2⃣ NOVENA TO CHRIST THE KING
DAY 3 - NOVEMBER 19
OPENING PRAYER: Lord Jesus, King of the universe, we want to open our spirit in this novena dedicated to you and contemplate the mystery of your life as an Apostle of the Kingdom with your mind and heart. We ask you, through the intercession of Mary, to establish your reign in our hearts so that united to you, we can make your Kingdom present in the hearts of people and in society.
“And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them” (Luke 24:15)
Christ, the one who is sent, the Apostle of the Father, goes out to meet humanity and to make his Kingdom present in our hearts and in the world. He finds us in all the circumstances of our existence, in our deepest experiences. He is a King who seeks us, who takes the initiative, who calls us continuously. There is nothing in our lives that cannot be embraced by Him.
To live the mystery of Christ is to let yourself be found by Him and go out to meet others.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
CLOSING PRAYER: Lord Jesus, open my heart so that you can reign in it, make present your mystery in me, and transform my life so that you can continue your mission through me. Amen.
Christ the King, Your Kingdom come!

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Cecilia, teach us to profess our faith courageously in these times so full of pleasure seeking and so lacking in faith. Help us to sacrifice ourselves in practicing our faith so that others may be lead closer to Christ and the Church through our example. Amen.

4⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
DAY 2 - NOVEMBER 19
O Most Holy Virgin, O my Mother, ask thy Son on my behalf for everything my soul and all mankind needs so that thy Reign be established on earth. My most earnest request is that thou mayest triumph in me and in all souls and implant thy Reign on earth. Amen.
PROTECTION OF MARY IN TIMES OF TRIAL
“The times are very evil, misfortunes are going to befall France, the throne will be overthrown, the whole world will be overwhelmed with misfortunes of every kind.” The Holy Virgin looked very distressed as she said this. “But come to the foot of this altar. Here graces will be bestowed on anyone, great or small, who asks for them with confidence and fervor... A moment will come of such great danger that all will seem lost. But I shall be with you.”
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
LET US PRAY: O Most Holy Virgin, O my Mother, amidst the great desolation in the world and the Church, obtain for me the graces I ask of thee and inspire me, above all, to request the graces that thou most wants to grant me. Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
