| A Prayer for the Suffering Souls |
|
O Adorable Trinity, cast upon us Thy merciful glance. Look at these souls whom Thou has created, and who suffer far from Thee an unutterable grief. Look at Thy poor contrite servants, humbly supplicating Thee in their behalf. For the sake of the glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, and our Mother also, deign to shorten the sufferings of these desolate souls; and to us all who labor in the miseries of this life, grant the grace of eternal salvation. I am only a sinner, but in obedience to Thy command, dear Jesus, I dare to intercede with Thee for my captive brethren. Deign by Thy Holy Sacrifice to appease the justice of Thy Father and open Heaven to those poor souls who languish far from Thee. Amen. V. Grant unto them, O Lord, eternal rest. R. And let perpetual light shine upon them. V. May they rest in peace. R. Amen. |
