1st The plenary indulgence and remittance of your sins. 2nd You will be free from the pains of Purgatory. 3rd If you should die before completing the said 3 years, for you it will be the same as if you had completed them. 4th It will be upon your death the same as if you had shed all your blood for the Holy Faith. 5th I will descend from Heaven to take your soul and that of your relatives, until the fourth generation. |
Blessed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII in Rome, April 5, 1890.

The thought of saving souls should always be on our mind. St. John Bosco stated it well: "There is nothing more holy in this world than to work for the good of souls, for whose salvation Jesus Christ poured out the last drops of His blood." St. Vincent de Paul tells us that: "The Salvation of men and our own are so great a good that they merit to be obtained at any price."
Sad to say, the great majority of Catholics put forth little or no effort in promoting the greater honor and glory of God and the salvation of souls. Let us keep in mind that if we manage to save one soul, we also ensure the salvation of our own. The Holy Ghost reveals this to us in the Holy Bible. (St. James 5:19,20)
This little card gives us a very easy way to save our own soul as well as the ones most dear to us – our family. See other side for details. You are urged to supply yourself with a large quantity of these cards and to distribute them liberally. This will be most pleasing to Our Dear Lord and a great way to store up treasures in Heaven.
