THIRTIETH DAY
Prayer directly offered
for the soul in Purgatory is the petition of a child beseeching God to be
kind and merciful. Could such a prayer, offered from the heart, fail to move
God?
Most gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed
with burning love
for the poor, captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of the
faithful departed.
Be not severe in Thy Judgments, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall
upon the devouring
flames; and do Thou, O merciful Saviour, send Thy angels to conduct them to a
place of refreshment,
light and peace. Amen.
