This beautiful Rosary is designed as a Chaplet for the Dead, featuring four decades of ten beads representing the 40 hours Christ spent in Limbo, Purgatory and Hell. The chaplet begins with five introductory beads, and features three large beads separating the four decades.

Red represent love, passion,marriage, or romantic relationships under the guidance and protection of Santa Muerte. The red carnelian beads help to invoke the more romantic or relationship governing aspects that Santa Muerte can oversee in your life. Since this is a Chaplet for the Dead, it is likely that this rosary will be used for getting in touch with someone very loved (such as a partner or very close family member) who has passed on. All matters can be aided and improved with the petition and assistance of ancestors and the renown dead through necromantic ritual or divination.

Rosary measures approximately 19" inches in length. Wire wrapped with silver beading wire for strength and durability while worn or handled in prayer.

"It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." 2 Maccabees 12:46

The Chaplet for the Dead is an excellent way to pray and remember the souls of the departed and pay our respect. Many traditional Catholic funerals feature a rosary prayer service on the evening prior to the funeral rites. The Chaplet for the Dead has a long pre-Christian tradition of prayer beads being used for funeral and ancestor rituals.

To begin, pray Psalm 130 (De Profundis) upon the pendant:

[Latin: "[Canticum graduum]
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuæ intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meæ.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine,
Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est;
et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
Speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem,
speret Israël in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia,
et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israël
ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus."]

[A Song of Ascent]

"From the depths, I have cried out to you,
O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplication.
If you, Lord, were to mark iniquities,
who, O Lord, shall stand?
For with you is forgiveness;
and because of your law, I stood by you, Lord.
My soul has stood by his word.
My soul has hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch, even until night,
let Israel hope in the Lord.
For with the Lord there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities."

Or alternatively say the Pater Noster (Matthew 6:9-13) and the Ave Maria (Luke 1:28, 41-43 & James 5:16):

[Latin: "Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen."]

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen."

[Latin: "Áve María, grátia pléna,
Dóminus técum.
Benedícta tū in muliéribus,
et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus.
Sáncta María, Máter Déi,
óra pro nóbis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Ámen."]

"Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen."

On the large beads recite the following:

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory:

[Latin: "Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat eis. Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen."]

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let the perpetual light shine upon them. And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Followed by the Acts of Faith, Hope and Charity:

[Latin:
Actus Fidei: "Domine Deus, firma fide credo et confiteor omnia et singula quæ sancta ecclesia Catholica proponit, quia tu, Deus, ea omnia revelasti, qui es aeterna veritas et sapientia quae nec fallere nec falli potest. In hac fide vivere et mori statuo. Amen."

Actus Spei: "Domine Deus, spero per gratiam tuam remissionem omnium peccatorum, et post hanc vitam æternam felicitatem me esse consecuturum: quia tu promisisti, qui es infinite potens, fidelis, benignus, et misericors. In hac spe vivere et mori statuo. Amen."

Actus Caritatis: "Domine Deus, amo te super omnia proximum meum propter te, quia tu es summum, infinitum, et perfectissimum bonum, omni dilectione dignum. In hac caritate vivere et mori statuo. Amen."]

Act of Faith: "Oh Lord my God, with a firm faith I believe and confess each and every thing that the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou, my God, has revealed all these things, who is eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith, I resolve to live and to die. Amen."

Act of Hope: "Oh Lord my God, I hope through Thy grace to obtain the forgiveness of all my sins and after this life eternal happiness, because Thou hast promised, who is infinitely powerful, faithful, kind, and merciful. In this hope, I resolve to live and to die. Amen."

Act of Charity: "Oh Lord my God, I love Thee above all things and love my neighbor because of Thee, because Thou art the greatest, infinite, and most-perfect Good, worthy of all my love. In this charity, I resolve to live and to die. Amen."

On the small beads of the decades recite the following:

"Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love." (Indulgence of 300 days, once a day. - Leo XIII, May 21, 1892.)

At the end of each decade recite the following:

"Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation." (300 days' indulgence. -Pius IX, Sept. 30, 1852.)

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let the perpetual light shine upon them. And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

May (N.) rest in peace. Amen.

May the soul of (N.) and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

May the love of God and the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ bless us and console us and gently wipe every tear from our eyes. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
