great prayers
: THREE VERY BEAUTIFUL PRAYERS
: Which are very useful to a dying
: person, and should be prayed often
: as an act of mercy.
:
: There once was a Pope in Rome who
: was surrounded by many sins. The
: Lord God struck him with a fatal
: illness. When he saw that he was
: dying, he summoned Cardinals,
: Bishops and learned persons and said
: to them: "My dear friends!
: What comfort can you give me now
: that I must die, and when I deserve
: eternal damnation for my sins?"
: No one answered him. One of them, a
: pious curate named John, said:
: "Father, why do you doubt the
: Mercy of God?" The Pope
: replied: "What comfort can you
: give me now that I must die and fear
: that I'll be damned for my
: sins?" John replied:
: "I'll read these prayers over
: you; I hope you'll be comforted and
: that you will obtain Mercy from
: God." The Pope was unable to
: say more. The curate and all those
: present knelt and said an Our
: Father, then the following Prayers:
: 1. Prayer
: Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Son of God
: and Son of the Virgin Mary, God and
: Man, Thou who in fear sweated blood
: for us on the Mount of Olives in
: order to bring peace, and to offer
: Thy Most Holy Death to God Thy
: Heavenly Father for the salvation of
: this dying person...
: If it be, however, that by his sins,
: he merits eternal damnation, then
: may it be deflected from him. This,
: O Eternal Father through Our Lord
: Jesus Christ, Thy Dear Son, Who
: liveth and reigneth in union with
: The Holy Spirit now and forever.
: Amen
:
:
: 2. Prayer
: Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who meekly
: died on the trunk of the Cross for
: us, submitting Thy Will completely
: to Thy Heavenly Father in order to
: bring peace and to offer Thy Most
: Holy Death to Thy Heavenly Father in
: order to free... (this person)
: ...and to hide from him what he has
: earned with his sins; grant this O
: Eternal Father! Through Our Lord
: Jesus Thy Son, Who liveth and
: reigneth with Thee in union with the
: Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
:
: 3. Prayer
: Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who remained
: silent to speak through the mouths
: of the Prophets: I have drawn Thee
: to me through Eternal Love, which
: Love drew Thee from Heaven into the
: body of the Virgin, which Love drew
: Thee from the body of the Virgin
: into the valley of this needful
: world, which Love kept Thee 33 years
: in this world, and as a sign of
: Great Love, Thou hast given Thy Holy
: Body as True Food and Thy Holy Blood
: as True Drink, as a sign of Great
: Love, Thou hast consented to be
: condemned to death, and hast
: consented to die and to be buried
: and truly risen, and appeared to Thy
: Holy Mother and all Thy Apostles and
: the hearts of all who hope and
: believe in Thee. Through Thy Sign of
: Eternal Love, open Heaven today and
: take this dying person ...and all
: his sins into the Realm of Thy
: Heavenly Father, that he may reign
: with Thee now and forever. Amen.
:
: Meanwhile, the pope died. The curate
: persevered to the third hour, then
: the Pope appeared to him in body and
: comforting him; his countenance as
: brilliant as the sun, his clothes as
: white as snow, and he said:
: "My dear brother! Whereas I was
: supposed to be a child of damnation
: I've become a child of happiness. As
: you recited the first Prayer, many
: of my sins fell from me as rain from
: Heaven, and as you recited the
: second Prayer, I was purified, as a
: goldsmith purifies gold in a hot
: fire. I was still purified as you
: recited the third Prayer. Then I saw
: Heaven open and the Lord Jesus
: standing on the Right Hand of God
: the Father, Who said to me:
: "Come, all thy sins are
: forgiven thee, you'll be and remain
: in the Realm of My Father forever.
: Amen!"
:
: With these words, my soul separated
: from my body and the Angels of God
: led it to Eternal Joy.
:
: As the curate heard this he said:
: "O Holy Father! I can't tell
: these things to anyone, for they
: won't believe me." Then the
: Pope said: "Truly I tell thee,
: the Angel of God stands with me and
: has written the prayers in letters
: of gold for the consolement of all
: sinners. If a person had committed
: all the sins in the world, but that
: the three Prayers shall have been
: read (over him) at his end (death),
: all his sins will be forgiven him,
: even though his soul was supposed to
: suffer until the Last Judgement, it
: will be redeemed (freed)."
:
: The person who hears them read, he
: won't die an unhappy death, also in
: whose house they shall be read.
: Therefore, take these prayers and
: carry them into St. Peter's Basilica
: and lay them in the Chapel named the
: Assumption of Mary, for certain
: consolation. The person who will be
: near death, who reads them or hears
: them read, gains 400 years
: indulgence for the days he was
: supposed to suffer in Purgatory
: because of his guilt. Also, who
: reads this Prayer or hears it read,
: the hour of his death shall be
: revealed to him. Amen!
