 3. For the  holy,  suffering  souls  in  purgatory — in  particular for  the  deceased  members  and  benefactors  of your  Order,  and  for  those  souls  that  were  most  devoted to the  Holy  Eucharist  and  to  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary.

The Visitation  Manual  gives  the  following  list  of  intentions for  holy  communions:

HE first  communion  in  each  month,  for  the  renovation of  .your  vows,  or  good  purposes.

The second,  for  the  exaltation  of  the  holy  Church, for the  Pope,  and  the  whole  ecclesiastical  order.

The third,  for  the  preservation,  union,  and  perfection of your  Order.

The fourth,  for  the  conversion  of  infidels  and  sinners.

The fifth,  for  concord  among  Christian  rulers;  chiefly for the  welfare  of  the  country  in  which  you  reside,  or for  other  public  necessities.

Sixth. A holy  communion  and  Mass,  once  a  month, for all  the  souls  in  purgatory.

Seventh. A holy  communion  and  Mass. for the  deceased members  of  your  holy  Order;  and  one  upon  the decease of  relations  and  Sisters.

In the  monasteries  of  the  Visitation,  a  Mass  and  general communion  are  offered  for  all  benefactors,  at  their decease.

On the  first  Friday,  or  first  Sunday  of  each  month, offer your  holy  communion  in  union  with  the  League of the  Sacred  Heart  of  Jesus,  and  the  intentions  of  the Apostleship of  Prayer.

The intentions  for  the  daily  communion  are:

1 st.  For  the  special  wants  of  the  Church,  particularly in this  country,  and  for  the  propagation  of  the  faith.

2d. To obtain  evangelical  laborers.
