Chaplet / Rosary for the Dead - Releases Souls in Purgatory

This formula for reciting the "Rosary for the Dead" gains the most indulgences for them and is used by the Purgatorian Society. Pray this daily and the Souls will love you for it. It is short and powerful but takes a few repetitions to get the hang of it. 

Each time this is prayed one obtains 23,300 days indulgences (63.84 yrs).This is the number of indulgences attached to the prayers in this rosary and applied to the souls in Purgatory. 300 days (Pope Pius IX, 1852) for each invocation of "Sweet Heart of Mary be my Salvation" X 40 = 12,000 days. 11,300 days for praying 4 X's the Acts of Hope, Faith & Charity. You can release many soul by 1 recitation. 

According to Souls in Purgatory who have visited us in the "Church Militant" the average Soul in Purgatory suffers 40 years in flames before entering Heaven. That is our Earth years. Michelangelo spent 1,000 years in Purgatory. So, you can see why it is SO important to pray for the "Church Suffering".

This Chaplet consists of 4 decades (40 beads) in memory of and to honor the 40 hours Christ was in Limbo or from His death to His Resurrection. It Is said on a 45 bead rosary (5 intro beads & 4 sets of 10 beads) but adjustments can be made using your regular rosary for counting (4 decades instead of 5). 

The way to pray the rosary is as follows:

Begin:

1. On the Crucifix recite the De Profundis - Psalm 129 if you don't have it memorized, you can pray "1 Our Father & 1 Hail Mary".

De Profundis Psalm 129 

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord! Lord, hear my voice.
Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark our iniquities:
Lord, who shall stand it?
For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness:
And by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even unto night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with Him plenteous redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

2. On the 4 large "OF" beads recite: "Eternal rest..." AND the Acts of Faith, Hope & Charity (Love).

Eternal rest grant them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen

Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that Thou are one God in three Divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy 
Ghost. I believe that Thy Divine Son became man, 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 Thou has revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Hope

O my God! relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting through, the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Charity

O my God! I love Thee above all things with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art infinitely good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. 

3. On each small bead, you say: "Sweet Heart of Mary, be my Salvation."

4. Conclude with saying the De Profundis.
