Prayers for the Departed Soul
Prayer is an essential part of the faithful act of mercy. In addition to praying for those who are still alive, we also pray for the souls as a form of expression of our faith. We need to pray for the spirits because the spirits can't do anything for themselves anymore. They spoke in silence: "Have mercy on us who are suffering and lonely". Let us have mercy on them by praying for them. Here are prayers and devotions that can be done to help the souls:

A Short Prayer for the Departed Soul
Prayer of Eternal Rest
Give them eternal rest ( or mention the name of the soul that is prayed for ) O Lord, may eternal light shine on them so that they rest in peace. May the souls of the believers rest in peace because of the mercy of God.
Prayer to save 1000 souls from Purgatory (Prayer of St. Getrurdis the Great)
O Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Holy Blood of Your Divine Son Our Lord Jesus Christ in union with all the Masses offered throughout the world today for all souls holy in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church , sinners in my house and in my family ( state the name of the soul that is prayed for ).
De Produndis (Prayer from the Abyss - Psalm 129/130)
From the abyss I cry out to You, O Lord,
Lord hear my cry,
Let your ear pay attention to the cry of my prayer.
If You count the faults, O Lord, who can stand?
But thanksgiving You love to forgive, so that people serve You with piety.
I hope in God, my heart expects His word.
My heart waits for my Lord, more than a watchman waits for the dawn.
More than watchmen waiting for the dawn, Israel waiting for the Lord!
For it is in the Lord that lovingkindness and redemption abound in abundance.
It was God who delivered Israel from all her iniquities.
Prayers for Abandoned / Forgotten Spirits
Jesus, because of the sorrow that you experienced in your passion in the Garden of Gethsemane, in your persecution and crowning with thorns, on the road to Calvary, at your crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially to those most neglected; please deliver them from the suffering they bear; call upon them and receive them into Your sweetest embrace in heaven.
1 X I believe...
1 X Our Father….
1 X Hail Mary….
Give them eternal rest, O Lord, and let eternal light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
