The Holy Souls...





Let us not forget our dear brothers and sisters in Purgatory.
I feel the urgent need to implore all of your prayers for their behalf!
For as we suffer on this earth, we at least are relieved a little of it during our sleep or slumber.
In the purgative fires of Purgatory, there is no rest, no moment when these poor holy souls are relieved of their suffering!
Cease not in your prayers! For how many more angels you will have praying for you and your family in heaven when they are released into their heavenly eternity!

Praise God, for the dressing room of Purgatory! For without it we would surely all be lost!

So let us all offer our earthly sufferings for those dear Holy Souls, and ask our dear Lord to live our Purgatory on earth! What difference would it make to suffer our entire lives in order to live in peace forever during our eternity! I would offer a thousand lives of earthly suffering for one eternal life filled with heavenly peace!

Be careful in not looking for suffering, because God will send us the crosses as only He sees fit! Praise our Lord whether in feast or in famine-only in this way will we be able to recognize Christ always walking beside us! For in order to follow, you must allow Him to lead the way!

I have learned in the school of suffering to thank and praise God for all my little sufferings and temptations. For how could I grow in my spiritual life without the cross of suffering?

Thank you Jesus for everything You give and take away! Please use our suffering for the conversion of sinners, the release of the holy souls in Purgatory, and the end of Abortion!

Mary, Mother most pure, pray for us always!
Ask Your Son to have Mercy on us all, and offer us as His instruments on this earthly pilgrimage!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
St. Rita, pray for us!
St. Padre Pio, pray for us!
St. Therese, pray for us!
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
St. John of the Cross, pray for us!
St. Teresa of Avila, Pray for us!
All holy Angels and Saints, pray for us!


Grace comes knocking, Self Pity bars the door.

The signature of the Holy Spirit,is peace, deep interior peace.

PRAYERS FOR SOULS IN PURGATORY
There are more souls released from purgatory during the Consecration of the Mass than at any time. Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered; then feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady and great saints. Souls receive much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays, day of baptism, anniversary of death.
The more we work for Poor Souls on earth the more others will pray for us, the more merciful will Christ be with us when were in purgatory.
Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the poor souls; that we pray:
5 I believe in God . . .

1 Hail Holy Queen . . .

1 Our Father . . .

1 Hail Mary . . .

1 Glory be to the Father . . .

1 Requiem (Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace. Amen!)

PRAYER OF ST. GERTRUDE THE GREAT
A Prayer which would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
Our Lord told St. Gertrude the GREAT that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
Recommendations: Pray it at least twice, to at least release twice as many souls! After the prayer, ask the Holy Souls to pray for your intentions.

"Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory. -Amen"

Our Lady said that if we pray the prayers "we'll deliver so many souls, so many souls!"
"The Holy wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."
BIBLE - 2 Machabees, Chapter 12. Verse 46:"it is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,that they may be loosed from sins."
An indulgence, applicable ONLY to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted when the faithful devoutly visit a cemetery and pray for the departed.




Our Lord revealed to Saint Bridget:

The Seven our Fathers and Hail Marys In honor of His Holy wounds and His precious blood

"Know that I will grant the following five graces to those who recite every day for twelve years (or until their death, should they die before):

1. They will avoid Purgatory.
2. They will be numbered amongst the martyrs, as though they had shed their blood for the faith.
3. I will maintain the souls of three of their children (or relatives) in a state of santifying grace.
4. The souls of their relatives, up to four generations, will avoid Hell.
5. They will know the date of their death one month in advance.

Pope Innocent X confirmed this revelation and added that those who practice this devotion will liberate a soul from Purgatory on Good Fridays. How many graces can we thus obtain by accepting to dedicate 10 minutes each day to the Holy Wounds of our Lord...
