This is a prayer intention for those past, present, and future who die lacking resources of various kinds. That in eternal rest they will be filled in heaven with all they need.
 
You have a lovely kind heart for less fortunate people to be moved to post this prayer.
And “Amen”

Be comforted that they will, if they live in practical love, in as far as is possible (Matthew 25, verses 31-46) as is evident in Jesus" The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.* Luke 16 verses19-25

There was a rich man* who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld,* where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.’ Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.

As you know, those who are well of and seem to suffer less (but the truth is we usually don’t know a lot about each others’ crosses) who also live lives of practical kindness will also be welcomed by Jesus (Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus when speaking of His judgement of souls made clear how crucial practical kindness is. It can take many forms, small or large. I think we are to understand that the rich man showed no charity to the destitute man. He went on to appeal that his brothers be warned to amend their lives so they wouldn’t suffer his fate, but the answer was that if they wouldn’t listen to the Scriptures, they wouldn’t listen to someone from the grave.

Lord, it’s consoling to know that so many good people suffering endlessly and deeply, have hope of great joy in Heaven, thanks to You.

Divine Mercy Chaplet

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
