Third Day
Meditation/Reflection – Contemplate on one of the greatest torments suffered by those in purgatory. Each soul has to endure the hideous visions of their guilt, reliving each moment of their sinful act. In purgatory each sin feels like a burning flame within our very soul. Prayer: “My God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I love Thee above all things, and repent with my whole heart of my offenses against Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. And thou, Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.”

In purgatory, this truth can not be ignored, as each soul sees firsthand, the anguish that their sins have put God through. Prayer: “My God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I am sorry with my whole heart for having offended Thee. I promise to die rather than ever offend Thee more. Give me holy perseverance; have pity on
me, and have pity on those holy souls that burn in the cleansing fire and love Thee with all their
hearts. O Mary, Mother of God, assist them by thy powerful prayers.”
