SECOND DAY
Is not the memory of the dead sweet to the heart, and is it not consoling to
gather about us in
thought the family dispersed by death?
Most compassionate Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory, for whose
redemption Thou didst
take upon Thyself the nature of mankind and die an ignominious death. Mercifully
hear their
pleadings-look with pity on the tears which they now shed before Thee and by
virtue of their
passion release them from the pain due unto their sins. Most pitiful Jesus, let
Thy Precious Blood
flow down into purgatory and refresh and revive the captive souls suffering
there. Stretch out
unto them Thy strong right hand, and lead them to a place of refreshment, light
and peace. Amen
