eternal salvation. And now that I take heart to ask of thee a general pardon of all my sins, and the grace of final perseverance, I also ask of thee, my God, trusting in the merits and intercession of Jesus, all the virtues I require, and all the aids efficacious for making me a true saint. I ask of thee the conversion of all unbelievers, and of all sinners, and particularly of those that belong to me by ties of blood, or by spiritual affinity. I beg of thee the liberation, not of one soul only, but of all the souls in purgatory. O bring them all out, so that through the efficacy of this divine sacrifice, that prison where they are being rendered pure may become empty. Convert also all the souls of the living: may this miserable world become a paradise of delight for thee, where, loved, reverenced, and praised in time by all of us, we may come afterwards to praise and bless thee for all eternity. Amen. Offer petitions also again and again for yourself, your children, your friends, relations, and acquaintance, for priests, for benefactors, for all who have asked or need your prayers, asking help for them and for yourself in all things, spiritual and temporal; ask also the fulness of all good, and relief from all evils for Holy Church; and do not ask any of these things with lukewarmness, but rather with a great confidence, making sure that your prayers, united with those of Jesus, shall indeed be heard.
