Many graces have been obtained with this devotion to the Souls of Purgatory

Method of practicing pious devotion.

For this pious exercise, everyone can use a common crown of five posts or tens, covering it all twice, to form the ten dozen, that is the hundred Requiem.

We start by reciting a Pater noster, and then a dozen Requiem on the ten small grains of the crown, finally of which the following ejaculation will be said on coarse grain:

My Jesus, mercy of the Souls of Purgatory, and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul.

Then the second and the other tens of Requiem are recited on the following ten small grains, repeating the aforementioned ejaculatory instead of the Pater noster for each coarse grain, that is, at the end of each ten. After the dozens (or hundreds) of Requiem, say the De profundis:

Thus ended this pious practice, it would be very useful to the holy Souls if they wanted to add in their suffrage the following very short prayers, in memory of the seven main effusions of the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

I. O sweetest Jesus, for the sweat of Blood that you suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane, have mercy on those blessed Souls; and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

II. O sweetest Jesus, for the pains you suffered in your cruel Flagellation, have mercy on him, and especially of the NN Soul and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

III. O sweetest Jesus, have mercy on the pains you suffered in your most painful crowning with thorns; and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

IV. O sweetest Jesus, for the pains you suffered in carrying the Cross to Calvary, have mercy on it; and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

V. O sweetest Jesus, have mercy on the pains you felt in your Crucifixion; and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

YOU. O most sweet Jesus, for the pains you suffered in the most bitter agony you had on the Cross, have mercy on it; and especially of the Soul of NN and the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

VII. O sweetest Jesus, for that immense pain that you suffered when you expired your blessed Soul, have mercy on it; and especially of the most abandoned Soul. Requiem…

Let us all now recommend ourselves to the Souls of Purgatory, and say: Blessed souls! we have prayed for you, but you who are so dear to God and are sure that you can no longer lose him, pray to us miserable, who are in danger of damaging us and losing him forever.
