TWENTY-SIXTH DAY
It costs us very little
to help the faithful departed. We are obliged to pray, to assist at Mass,
to receive the sacraments, to give alms, and to fast on the days
appointed. lf we
are in the state of grace, and offer these works for the Holy Souls, they are
acceptable to God and
speed their relief.
Most merciful Jesus, release the Souls in Purgatory from the results of their
imperfections,
especially the soul suffering there through my bad example. Take him today to
Thy Heavenly Throne,
that he may join the Saints in praise of Thee and will intercede for me in my
hour of need.
