Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
Sign of the Cross
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
An Act of Contrition
Oh My Jesus! I love You above all things. I hate and detest my sins because by them I have offended You.
Opening Prayer
The holy indulgences, the fruits and merits of this devotion, I intend to gain for the souls in Purgatory, in particular for those who in life were near and dear to me, and for those for whom I am, in a special way, obliged to pray.
O Mary, my merciful Mother and the Mother of the poor souls in Purgatory, accompany me, by your intercession, on this journey.
