Pious Exercises

Resolution: Today I will assist the souls of the faithful departed from all parts of Europe. I also
recommend myself to those who are entering heaven at this moment.

Thought for the day: The longings of the souls
in Purgatory are so great that a single day appears to them like a thousand years.

Exercise: Use a few moments to make invo-
cations in honor of the Sacred Heart for the com fort and consolation of the Poor Souls.

Special Intention: Implore the Sacred Heart to
relieve the most forsaken soul in Purgatory.

Motive: The greater the abandonment of a soul,
the greater will be its gratitude towards you. It will obtain for you the privilege never to be
forsaken by God through the withdrawal of His grace, and never to abandon Him by committing sin.

Prayer: O Lord God, I pray You, by the Blood
which Your Son Jesus shed in the garden, deliver the souls in Purgatory and especially that soul
which is most in need of spiritual aid; and bring it to Your glory, there to praise and bless You
forever. Amen.
