Chaplet for Those in Danger of Dying in Mortal Sin

I've composed a chaplet for those in danger of dying in mortal sin.

For private recitation only.
This chaplet is prayed using an ordinary rosary.

Begin with the Sign of the Cross.
Say, "Lord, I offer this chaplet for those in danger of dying in mortal sin."
Pray:
1 Our Father
1 Hail Mary,
1 Glory Be
The Decades:
On the large beads:
"O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy."
On the ten small beads:
"Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners, pray for us."
After the last decade:
"Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls." [three times]
Finish with the Sign of the Cross

Connecting a Picture and a Quote




I always connect this Garth Williams illustration from Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder with these words from Walden, by Henry David Thoreau:
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
If Laura Ingalls, at the age she was in the picture, had heard that quotation, I'm sure she would have agreed perfectly!
