“Children, when you have a special petition in your heart, pray to the poor souls in Purgatory.* There is a whole army of souls down there ready to help you. Their prayers are powerful. If you help them, they are especially anxious to help you. These souls cannot help themselves, so they are so thankful for your prayers and sacrifices towards their advancement in the prison of Purgatory. The ones who are released by your efforts are so indebted to you and especially full of gratitude. They will be your prayer partners forever.”
“Do not miss any opportunity to help them. They will not miss any opportunity to assist you. These souls are your neighbors, as well.”
