Do you know The Good Friday Prayer

[johnq]

I adore You, O glorious Cross, which was adorned with the Heart and Body of my Savior Jesus Christ, stained and covered with blood. I adore You, O Holy Cross, out of love for Him, Jesus, who is my Savior and my God.

(Pope Pius IX declared that reciting this prayer five times on Friday will free five souls from Purgatory and 33 souls by reciting it on Good Friday. This prayer should be recited before a crucifix with a contrite heart and praying a few minutes for the Pope).

Can you help me find documentation of this amazing prayer please?

 

[Loboto-Me]

I’d love to see some documentation also but even if there’s no documentation, I see that it’s a wonderful prayer anyway.

A month or so ago, I asked our Lord to entrust 5 poor souls in purgatory for me to pray for. Five souls when living here on earth who most resembled the character of my 5 children. I feel if my prayers can help these souls, they in turn will pray for my children as well.

I may be a bit naive, but then I just blame it on approaching God in a child-like manner besides, it surely doesn’t hurt these souls that they have a decade of the Divine Mercy said for them almost every day

It’s quite a wonderful coincidence that it is said that this prayer would help 5 souls and that I stumbled upon it
