Do You Want To Offer Yourself To The Lord As A Victim For Poor Sinners And For The Souls In Purgatory?

 
  Meditate On The Crucified One.
Extend Your Own Arms Also On Your Cross And By Offering To The Father The Sacrifice Of Yourself In Union With The Most Loving Savior, Suffer, Groan And Pray For the Wicked Ones Of The Earth And For The Poor Souls In The Next Life Who Are So Deserving Of Our Compassion In Their Patient And Unspeakable Sufferings.

St. Padre Pio's message is clear.

En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu
 
Plenary Indulgence Prayer before a Crucifix,  For The Holy Souls in Purgatory
 
Good and gentle Jesus,
I kneel before you.
I see and I ponder your five wounds.
My eyes behold what David prophesied about you:
“They have pierced my hands and feet;
they have counted all my bones.”
 
Engrave on me this image of yourself.
Fulfill the yearnings of my heart:
give me faith, hope, and love,
repentance for my sins,
and true conversion of life.
Amen.
 
(Psalm 22:17-18; Roman Missal, pp. 935-936.)
 
On any Friday during Lent a plenary indulgence is granted the Christian faithful who, after communion, devoutly recite the above prayer before an image of Jesus Christ crucified. On other days of the year the indulgence is a partial one.
