John, know that the evil which has afflicted you is for the perfection of your soul. The gracious Lord is purifying you, as gold in fire. But, how much better to be purified by fire in this life than in the next? We are with you, praying for you. We know that the Lord is with you. He knows your heart. He sees the faithfulness with which you pray. He is even now counting the blessings that you are storing up in His Eternal Kingdom. Keep offering your sufferings up in this life, and purgatory may be avoided through perfect faith and penance.
Lord of Heaven and earth, we continue to pray for our brother John. He offers prayer for others in the midst of constant suffering, as have done Your Saints throughout the ages. Father in Heaven, none living now feels like a Saint, but that same humility is the very hallmark of the Saints. None felt worthy, but all were ecstatic upon entrance into the Joy of Your Kingdom, which You have prepared for us since before time began. There are many rooms in Your House, O Lord, and we know that John has one ready for him. But, Lord, we also know that You have much more in store for him yet on this earth,so faithful is he in Your sight. Grant him an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit, that his prayer may be even more efficacious, rising to Your Throne, even burning Your eyes, if it were possible, so as to obtain Your direct mercy upon those for whom he prays. Such is his display of fortitude, an example to all of us. We beseech Your Divine Mercy upon him in the name of Blessed Christ, our Risen Lord and Savior. Amen! Alleluia!
