The Daily  Pilgrimage To Purgatory
 
A Pious Union of Prayer

A. Its Purpose
The purpose of the "Pious Union" is to obtain relief and deliverance from Purgatory for the Poor
Souls. Its secondary aim is the attainment of personal holiness, the conversion of sinners and the
acquisition of the necessary spiritual and temporal graces.

B. Its Privileges .
1. Special protection of the Sacred Heart, who considers every act of charity towards the Poor
Souls as done to Himself.

2. Gratitude of the souls in Purgatory. "If only you knew," writes St. Margaret Mary, "with what
great longing these holy souls yearn for relief from their suffering. Ingratitude has never
entered heaven.

3. A share in the prayers and good works of the associates.

4. The departed members of this "Pious Union," particularly those who have been specially rec-
ommended, receive the fruits of the numerous Masses, offered for the intention of this associa-
tion.
