O GOD, Who in the ranks of the Apostolic Priesthood hast caused Thy servants to be invested with the Pontifical or Priestly dignity; grant, we beseech Thee, that may also may be joined unto the everlasting fellowship of the same Thy Priests. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers wherein we humbly pray Thee to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant [name the priest], whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world, that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light, and bid him be a partaker of Thy Saints. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

MY Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine Agony in the Garden, in Thy Scourging and Crowning with thorns, in the Way to Calvary,  in Thy Crucifixion and Death, have mercy on the souls of priests in Purgatory, especially those most forgotten and who no one else to pray for them. I wish to remember all those priests who ministered to me, the priests my heart have never forgotten, and for those that I no longer recall due to my frailty of memory.

Do Thou deliver them from the dire torments they endure; call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in Paradise.

Our Father, Hail Mary, and:
ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM, O LORD, AND MAY PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM; MAY THEY REST IN PEACE. AMEN.
