SIXTEENTH
DAY
St Paul, in his Epistle
to the Corinthians (I Cor. 111: 13-15), tells us, "Every man's work shall
be manifest, for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be
revealed in fire. And
the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If a man's work burn, he
shall suffer
loss; but he shall be saved, yet so as to fire."
O
Lord Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory who suffer because of some
slight human frailty.
Deliver them from their agonies, that they may forevermore praise and glorify
Thee in Heaven.
Amen.
