 tion this  house,  congregation,  and  State:  extend  thy care to  all  such  as  lie  under  any  affliction,  and  to  those who labor  in  the  agony  and  pangs  of  death:  cast  an eye  of  compassion  on  the  obstinate  sinner,  but  particularly on  the  poor  souls  in  purgatory,  and  also  on those  who  are  engaged  and  linked  with  us  in  the  holy confederacy of  honoring  and  worshipping  thee.

Amen.

SACRED Heart  of  Jesus,  burning  with  love for us! inflame our  hearts  with  the  love  of  thee.
