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?

Prayer: Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Gloria, De Profundis.

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
