O God, by whose inscrutable appointment Thy servant Benedict XVI was numbered among the Chief Bishops:grant, we beseech Thee, that he, who was Vicar of Thine Only-begotten Son on earth, may receive a place among Thy holy Pontiffs who have entered into everlasting blessedness. Amen

Beads for the Dead
To be prayed on the beads of a Rosary:
On the Cross say:
De Profundis, or Pater, Ave, Gloria
DE PROFUNDIS: 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, wilt mark iniquities; Lord, who shall
abide it? Because 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 until
night, let Israel hope in the Lord. Because with the Lord there is
mercy, and with Him plentiful Redemption. And He shall redeem Israel
from all her iniquities.
V. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
V. Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
On the large beads of a Rosary:
Act of Faith: O my God, I believe in Thee, because Thou art Truth itself.
Act of Hope: O my God, I hope in Thee, because Thou art so good and merciful.
Act of Love and sorrow: O my God, I love Thee with my whole heart, and
because I love Thee, I am sorry I ever offended Thee, do Thou, O Lord,
increase my love and sorrow.
On the Small beads:
Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation.
At the End of each decade:
Eternal rest give to Father (N…), O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on him, May he rest in peace. Amen
Concluding prayer:
