Thursday

Holy Souls in Purgatory, is there anything you
regret when you think of your life on earth?

I deeply regret the scandal which I have given! If only l would have prevented the disastrous
consequences of the scandal which I caused. If only I could warn the many souls that followed my
example and listened to me! Through my fault the evil goes on. And now I have to give an account of
all the sins for which I am to blame!

Oh, were I but able to let my words resound
unto the ends of the earth and to wander through the world as a preacher of penance! With what
untiring zeal would I labor among people to turn them from evil and return them to virtue.

O you my friends on earth, who come to visit
me in this darkness in order to let a ray of light shine upon me: you will find in the Sacred Heart
the surest way of bringing back to God as many people as I have led into sin by bad example!

Tell them that he invites them: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give
you rest . . .learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your
souls." (Matt. 11, 28-29).
