Repeat to yourself every day and as often as you can O Lord have mercy on all those who will appear before You today. For every hour every second thousands of men leave this world and their souls appear before the Lord and no one knows how many of them leave this earth in isolation sadness and anguish with no one to take pity on them or even care whether they live or die. And so your prayer for such a man will rise to the Lord from the other end of the earth although he may never have heard of you or you of him. But his soul as it stands trembling before the Lord will be cheered and gladdened to learn that there is someone on earth who loves him. And the Lords mercy will be even greater to both of you for however great your pity for the man Gods pity will be much greater for He is infinitely more merciful and more loving than you are.
