TWELFTH DAY
They are not strangers
who implore our help they are our own: our parents, brothers and friends.
They are the devoted hearts who loved us so tenderly and for us so earnestly
toiled and suffered.
Now that they are gone from our midst, does not our heart reproach us for not
having sufficiently
shown our affection in the past?
O Lord Jesus Christ, have compassion on Thy Church suffering. Temper Thy justice
with pity and
open the gates of Heaven for the souls in Purgatory, that they may praise and
glorify Thee forever.
Amen.
