Dcn Hansen, whom I just saw, but did not get to visit with, as we received admission into our Candidacy for the diaconate has just passed away. Not only are my thoughts and prayers with him and with his family, but I will be working for him to gain a plenary indulgence from the work & prayers I will do below.
I am going to pray this for Deacon Bob Hansen. Feel free to do it as well!
See the end on what you MUST do to complete this for the indulgence (for Dcn Hansen).

9 Days Indulgenced Prayer for Recently Deceased
First Day:
O God, to Whom it belongs always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant, N., which Thou hast commanded to depart out of this world: that Thou deliver it not into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end; but command it to be received by Thy holy angels, and conducted into paradise, its true country; that, as in Thee it hath hoped and believed, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Second Day:
To Thee, O Lord, do we command the soul of Thy servant, N., that being dead to the world s/he may live unto Thee; and whatsoever sins s/he has committed through the frailty of his/her mortal nature, do Thou, by the pardon of Thy most merciful love, wash away. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Third Day:We beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to grant fellowship with Thy saints and elect to the soul of Thy servant, N., whose departure we commemorate, and mayest Thou pour upon it the everlasting dew of Thy mercy. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Fourth Day:
Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto the prayers in which we suppliantly entreat Thy mercy; and do Thou establish, in a place of peace and rest, the soul of Thy servant, N., whom Thou hast bidden to pass out of this world, and unite him/her to the fellowship of Thy saints. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Fifth Day:
Absolve, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the soul of Thy servant, N., from every bond of sin, that, being raised in the glory of the Resurrection, s/he may be refreshed among Thy saints and elect. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.

We implore Thee, O Lord, mercifully to grant companionship with the blessed in heaven to the soul of Thy servant, N., whose death we commemorate. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.

Ninth Day:
Grant, O Lord, we beseech Thee, this mercy unto Thy servant deceased, that, having in desire kept Thy will, s/he may not suffer in requital of his/her deeds: and as a true faith joined him/her unto the company of Thy faithful here below, so may Thy tender mercy give him/her peace above, among the angel choirs.
