SEVENTEENTH DAY

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." When we stand before God in the hour of
judgment, will we not welcome the Holy Souls who will throng about His throne to plead our cause,
if we have shown ourselves merciful and compassionate toward them in their hour of need?

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

O Lord Jesus Christ, relieve the sufferings of Thy departed servants, that they may not languish in
Purgatory because of our neglect and thoughtlessness. Deliver them from their pains that they may
praise Thee forever in Heaven and intercede for us when the hour of death draws near.
