O GENTLEST HEART OF JESUS, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of Thy servants, our Irish heroes; bring them from the shadows of exile to the bright home of Heaven, where, we trust, Thou and Thy Blessed Mother have woven for them a crown of unfading bliss. Amen. My Jesus, Mercy!—300 days. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved.—100 days. Jesus, meek and humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine.—300 days. Blessed be the most holy, mest pure and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary—300 days, each time. Crucified Lord Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory.—7 years and 7 quarantines. Merciful Jesus, grant eternal rest to the souls of the faithful departed.—7 years. “Weep not for them with useless tears, but think of them with pride, For Ireland they fought the fight, for her with joy they died. We'll remember, we'll remember, their blood, their wounds, their pains, Tho' we know no pang was wasted, not one drop was shed in vain, For our country has awakened, we have heard the trumpet blast, The traitor's power is shattered and the sleep of slaves is past Lo! the dead arise triumphant and the living's task is set, The cause is burning in our hearts—and we shall not forget.”
