(continued from previous page)Mass. So at the third appeal the man took courage and replied saying "I can Father". So he went + answered the Mass thinking that perhaps the Priest was some very holy old man saying an extra Mass at the dead hour of night.
The Mass in the usual time was finished + the Priest turned to him saying. When on earth I forgot to say this Mass for a poor soul who is still in Purgatory through my omission + I have come here every night for the last three hundred years + have asked the self-same question in vain till to night.
