TWENTY-THIRD DAY

When, by our prayers, we release a soul from Purgatory, we have not only won his gratitude, but
the gratitude of his Guardian Angel, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom his soul was consecrated,
and of God Himself, Who is enabled through us to sooner shower His blessings on it.

Prayer: Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Gloria, De Profundis.

 Most beloved Jesus, if I could but
say, "There is a soul in
Heaven at this time that owes to me its release from Purgatory,
a soul that speaks to God of me, that glorifies God for me, that loves Thy Blessed Mother for me.
If it were thus, how happy I should be." Release from the pains of Purgatory the soul careless and
hurried in prayer. Take him to the joys of Heaven, that he may evermore praise Thee and intercede
for me at the hour of need.
