Great men and women saints died holy and remarkable deaths. This is because they were faithful to God and kept His Commandments unto the end. Yet, as everyone knows, most do not have such a death is leaving this life. God, however, in His infinite Mercy and Love, has provided another way for those who fail to die to the world and themselves so perfectly as to have such a precious death. He provides a way for them to die anew in the purifying fires of Purgatory such that their leaving that place below to rise up to heaven is precious and beautiful. What they failed to do on earth, they do there. To make this possible for them, we are required to help. Let us, then, pray for the Poor Souls and strive to shorten our own Purgatory.

Prayer in Time of Affliction

Blessed, O Lord, be Thy Name forever, Who has permitted this affliction to come upon us. We cannot escape it, but must of necessity fly to Thee to help us and turn it to our good.

Lord, we are now in affliction. Our souls are ill at ease, for we are much troubled with this present suffering. Let it please Thee, O Lord, to deliver us, for, poor wretches that we are, what can we do without Thee? Thy mighty Hand can do all things.

Give us patience, O Lord, and strength and peace. Help us, O God, and we will not fear, no matter how grievously we may be afflicted. O Lord, “Thy Will be done!” Welcome be the Will of God! Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in Thee
