redeemed souls themselves. How well they will plead your cause, when your time comes to die. There is gratitude on earth, how much more there must be in Heaven. A Daily Prayer for the Dying God's mercy is so abundant that He wants to shower it upon earth. He sent His only Son, Our Lord to redeem sinners at the cost of Calvary. Christ would have died on that Cross to redeem but one soul, yet the One Sacrifice was sufficient for all. Redemption, however, does not suffice for salvation, as St. Paul warns us to work out our salvation "in fear and trembling." When the great Apostasy predicted by the Apostle to the Gentiles come upon us in these last days many souls are going to Hell: they either do not know how, or cannot pray for themselves. But Jesus Christ is waiting and now is the acceptable time, if only we, who do believe and do pray would only make it a daily habit of unfathomable charity and mercy, to pray for the dying. Here is a short invocation that can be said daily: For those dying today …. may Thy Blessed Mother guide them in asking for forgiveness may St. Joseph intercede for them at the Throne of God may they be given the grace of a good confession or an act of perfect contrition (For non-Catholics Pray “Lord be merciful to me a sinner” and receive my mercy and forgiveness) may they be inspired to ask God to receive their soul when they die. If it should please Thy Majesty to send me a suffering this day in exchange for the grace I ask for the souls dying today, then,
Eight Station: Our Lord Jesus Speaks to the Woman of Jerusalem We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have Redeemed the world. Lord Jesus, You meet the women of Jerusalem who are weeping for You because they are aware that You have been unjustly condemned to death. They know You have done nothing wrong. Yet, You console them telling them not to weep for You, but for themselves and their children, and their children’s children; and to pray for each other. By this station I pray to You Lord Jesus, that any of my friends or family who have stopped practicing the faith, will return to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to Confession, to Your Holy Body and Blood, before their death. I love You Lord I am sorry for having offended You. Help me to never offend You again. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ, King of Endless Mercy. Ninth Station: Our Lord Jesus Falls for the Third Time We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have Redeemed the world. Lord Jesus, once again, You have fallen under the terrible burden of the Cross as it digs into Your bones. The weight of our sins and the Cross itself are causing You to fall in exhaustion. Somehow You find the strength to rise, Your Body trembling with pain and fatigue, yet continue going forward so that the Father’s will be done in You! By this third fall, may I and the world turn to the Father, seek his forgiveness for all the sins we have committed, and sin no more. May we persevere just as You did! I wish I could love You as You deserved to be loved! I love You Lord Jesus, I am sorry for having offended You. Help me to never offend You again. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ, King of Endless Mercy.

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of my Redeemer, mirror of innocence and sanctity and refuge of penitent sinners, intercede for me that I may obtain the to make a good confession. All you blessed Angels and Saints of God, pray for me, a sinner, that I may repent from my sinful ways and that I may be forever united with you. Amen. The general examination of conscience is most effective when it is practiced daily and once it becomes habitual, does not take more than a few minutes. Saint Ignatius in his Spiritual Exercises suggests five points for the examination of conscience. An act of gratitude to God for all His benefits. (This will dispose the soul to the correct attitude for contrition.) A petition for to know and detest one’s sins. An accurate examination of one’s actions, thoughts, and motives throughout the day. An Act of Contrition and an appeal for pardon, the principal point of the whole exercise. A resolution to a petition for God’s assisting grace, and finally an Our Father. The ‘Particular’ examination of conscience is a specific method employed to assist in acquisition of one particular virtue or in the elimination of one particular vice. As such, it is very useful for anyone who to grow in holiness.
