Merciful Jesus, grant him eternal rest.

***

Jesus and Mary I love You, save souls.
— Jerome’s favorite prayer that he learned many years ago from his Uncle Dave. Jerome recited this prayer multiple times each day.

***

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe in thy judgement, but let some drops of Thy precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames and do Thou, O merciful Savior, send Thy Angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

***

May the Angels lead thee into Paradise. May the Martyrs receive thee at they coming and take thee to Jerusalem the Holy City. May the Choirs of Angels receive thee, and mayest thou, with the once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting.

***

May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
