Text Box: BITTER LAMENTATIONS PART THREE In the last part of our Lamentations, let us contemplate the sufferings of Jesus from the time He was nailed to the cross until the moment when He breathed His last on the infamous cross. All these sufferings, blasphemies, insult and indignities heaped upon our innocent Savior, let us offer to our heavenly Father for the founders and benefactors of our parish, for all the faithful living and dead, an for all the hardened sinners, particularly those persisting in the habit of impurity, drugs, and drunkenness. May our Savior move their hearts and minds to sincere repentance and amendment of their living. Let us also offer our Lord’s passion for the souls in purgatory that the merciful Jesus alleviate and shorten their suffering. Finally, let us entreat Jesus to intercede for us with His most merciful Father that at the hour of our death we may obtain the grace of sincere sorrow for our sins and a reward of eternal happiness with Him.
