Pious Exercises
Resolution:
Today I will assist the souls of the
departed from countries where Missionaries of the Sacred Heart minister,
especially Colombia and
Papua New Guinea. I also commend myself to those entering heaven at this moment.
Thought for the day:
Thus spoke the brothers of Joseph to one another: " Alas, we are being
punished because of one brother. We saw the anguish of his heart when he pleaded
with us, yet we
paid no heed; that is why this anguish has now come upon us." (Gen. 42, 21).
Exercise: Spread, as much as possible, the devotion "Daily Pilgrimage to Purgatory."
Special Intention: Pray for the soul who most honored Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.
Motive:
The Mother of God will obtain for you, through the intercession of this soul,
the grace
of a true devotion to the Sacred Heart.
Prayer:
O Lord God, by the Blood, which
poured out from the side of Your Son, as hi Mother stood by the cross, deliver
the souls in
Purgatory, especially that soul which was the most devout to Our Lady of
the Sacred Heart
and Queen of Heaven; that is may soon praise You in her, and her in You,
forever. Amen.
Invocation: Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, pray for us.
