236 The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Thee on Calvary. In consideration of this holocaust
of sweet odor, have mercy on the souls in
purgatory; open to them the gates of heaven,
that they may love and praise The, and enjoy
Thee eternally in the abode of the saints. Together
with the sufferings of Thy divine Son, I
likewise offer Thee the sorrows of His blessed
mother, whose soul was'crucified at the foot of her
Sen's cross; for the lance which pierced the side
and heart of Jesus, thine adorable, Son, also transfixed
the soul and heart of Mary, according to
Simeon's prophecy, and made her the queen of
martyrs. Behold then, 0 heavenly Father! the
disfigured countenance of Thy Son on the cross
and the crucified heart of His Mother at the foot
of th~s same cross; and by the merits of all the
sufferings of, that Son and that Mother, grant
eternal repose to the souls in purgatory.
