2 Deaths Per Second

According to http://www.worldometers.info/ and http://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/greatc.html there are about 2 deaths per second, that is, about 120 deaths per minute, 600 deaths every 5 minutes, about 7200 deaths per hour and about 172,800 deaths per day.  Every person who dies will be judged and either taken to heaven, hell or purgatory.

We were commissioned to go out into the world to bring souls to Jesus.  While many of us can't be full-time missionaries, we are still called to do what we can to save souls.  

It takes 5 minutes to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet all the way through. Christ tells us to pray unceasingly for those dying. Jesus said to Sister Faustina:

"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you.  Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death.  Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope.  Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know My Infinite Mercy.  I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy...."

"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just judge but as the Merciful Savior".
