THE JESUS PSALTER
Begin by kneeling devoutly,
or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying: THE SECOND PART TENTH PETITION
Jesus, send me here my Purgatory, so that I may be made ready to share the happiness of Heaven. Grant me those merciful crosses and afflictions which take away my false affection for all things here below,
Since no one can see Thee that loves anything which is not for Thy sake, suffer not my heart to find any rest here, but in Thee alone. Grant that I may never suffer from the anguish of a soul that is separated from Thee, that desires, but cannot come to Thee because of sin. Keep me continually mortified to this world, that being thoroughly purified by the fire of Thy love, I may immediately pass from this life into Thy everlasting Kingdom. Have mercy
also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy
bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.
He was humbler yet, even to
accepting death, death on a Cross.
