TENTH DAY
The soul that we
release from Purgatory is under a particular obligation to us, both because of
the singular benefit it receives from entering all the sooner into the glory,
and also because of
the terrible sufferings from which it is delivered. Thus it is bound to obtain
for its benefactors
perpetual graces and blessings.
O Lord Jesus, by the merits of the sorrows of Thy Virgin Mother, release from
Purgatory the soul
that is dearest to Thee. Place it today in Heaven, that in union with the angels
and Thy Blessed
Mother it may forever praise Thee.
