SAVE THE DYING ASSOCIATION

"Through faith, we recognize all men as companions in a journey toward eternity. Out of this rises the duty of mutual help."

Venerable James Alberione

AS YOU READ THIS...seven people are dying. Almost half a million die each day all over the world.

MANY of them have their lives cut off without warning. Every year thousands perish in road-accidents, in factories and workplaces, or in plane crashes. Others die on the battlefield or as the victims of violence. Not to talk of those lost in various natural disasters: earthquakes, tornadoes, tidal waves, tempests and floods.

DOES anybody try to help these poor people for whom our Savior suffered on Calvary? Was his sacrifice in vain for them?

EVERYTHING depends on our spiritual state at the moment of death. Is there a way to win God's mercy for these brothers and sisters of ours who die unprepared? Yes, there is. You can find it in the SAVE THE DYING ASSOCIATION.

ANY work done for this great cause means that we help to salvation human souls with unimaginable power to intercede for their brothers and sisters on earth. In fact one of the Association's intentions is to save the millions unprepared to meet their God because of today's mass-media: Press, Movies, Radio, TV, Audiovisuals and the Internet. It intends to implore our crucified Savior to intercede for these poor people at the most important moment of their existence.

EACH member undertakes to offer one good action daily for the dying: for example, some activity in the field of media, one's morning and night prayers, the fatigue of work, illness and all kinds of suffering, Mass and Communion, giving alms, visiting the sick, etc. These are offered in union with our Crucified Lord, Master and Model for all in the mystery of his Death and in union with the Sorrowful Virgin on Calvary. The Association is under the patronage of St. Joseph, Protector of the Dying and of the Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul.

FOR THOSE DYING UNPREPARED

Lord, for those dying unprepared,
I offer you in union with Mary and with St. Joseph

O Jesus, our Redeemer,
through the Holy Masses offered this day
and through the intercession of Mary,
assist in Your mercy those dying suddenly
at this moment.
