GRACE OF A HAPPY DEATH
To The DYING JESUS
MY CRUCIFIED JESUS, mercifully accept
the prayer which I now make to Thee,
for help in the moment of my death
when, at its approach, all my senses
shall fail me.
( 300 days indul. once a day)
SOULS IN PURGATORY
IN THE MORNING
Hear your loved ones softly pleading
From the green graves lonesome
lying, ever crying:
“Have pity, you at least,
my friends!”
FOR and TO the SOULS
O ALL YOU ANGELS of Consolation, go
and visit those patient sufferers, offer
for them the merits of the Sacred
Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and
obtain their speedy union with Jesus,
Whose vision is bliss, and Who yearns to
have them with Him. O sweet brethren,
so mightily afflicted, knowing your fear
and love of God, and your charity for
souls, pray for us that we may speedily
obtain what we now ask for our urgent
needs and also the grace of a good life
and a holy death.
IN THE NOONTIME
While the hot skies far are glowing,
Think of pain no relief knowing;
Their prison fires appalling,
Their piteous voices calling:
“Have pity, you at least,
my friends!”
For OUR OWN
GOOD JESUS, Whose loving Heart was
ever troubled by the sorrows of others,
look with pity on the souls of our dear
ones in Purgatory. O Thou, Who “lovest
Thy Own,” hear our cry for mercy,
and grant that those whom Thou
called from our homes and hearts,
may soon enjoy everlasting rest in the
home of Thy Love in Heaven. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto them,
O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine
upon them. Amen.
IN THE EVENING
In the time of sad remembrance,
Give a prayer to old friends gone;
Let your heart with mournful greeting,
Hear their sad appeal repeating:
Have pity, you at least, my friends!”
HEROIC ACT of LOVE
It does not prevent you from praying
for yourself, for your friends or any
other intention. By this “HEROIC
ACT OF LOVE,” you merely give up to
the Holy Souls the satisfaction you
make for the temporal punishment
due to your sins.
Should you go to Purgatory, God
will apply to you the prayers for the
Souls in Purgatory, which those on
earth are ever offering up to Him.
Those souls, who may be released
from their sufferings by your Heroic
Act, will never prove ungrateful. In
turn, they will pray for you.
