Pious Exercises

Resolution: Today I will do everything possible
to assist the souls of the faithful departed from Asia. I also recommend myself to those who are
entering heaven at this moment.

Thought for the day: "Store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys for where
your treasure is, there also will your heart be." (Matt. 6, 20-21).

Exercise: I shall offer the Poor Souls today the benefit of indulgences gained by prayers or devo-
tions in honor of the Sacred Heart.

Special Intention: Pray for the soul in Purgatory which is farthest from eternal rest.

Motive: Let yourself be moved by the abandonment with which that soul bears its suffering; it
will be grateful to you. Happy will you be, if it obtains for you the virtue of humility.

Prayer: O Lord God, I pray You, by the Blood
which Your Son Jesus shed in the crowning of thorns, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and in
particular that soul which would be the last to depart out of this place of suffering, that it may
not tarry so long before it comes to praise You in Your glory and bless You forever. Amen.

Invocation: Father, I offer You the Blood of Jesus for my sins, for the Souls in Purgatory, and
for the needs of the Church.
