Please take time to say this beautiful prayer. One more penance for your Good Friday....
In all humility, I must admit I omitted this for years. How careless I was not thinking of all those who would have benefited from these prayers.
Here is the novena...print this out, if you do not have a copy.

I am in the passive purgative way. But, one can also enter into the active purgation, by choosing mortification and extra prayer. As I have noted in the perfection series, one cannot be useful to the Church without personal sanctity. Another state rather than humility only creates actions of egotism.
Here is St. Faustina on this. "O my Jesus, I know that, in order to be useful to souls, one has to strive for the closest possible union with You, who are Eternal Love... I can be wholly useful to the Church by my personal sanctity, which throbs with life in the whole Church, for we all make up one organism in Jesus."
