The souls in purgatory welcome our prayers and by God’s divine grace, they help lessen the time spent in this stage of purification before Heaven.
We can direct our prayers in a variety of ways and the collection of approved prayers known as the Raccolta, includes a prayer for the soul in purgatory most devoted to Our Lady.
O Lord God Almighty, I beseech Thee, by the Precious Blood which gushed forth from the Side of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in the sight of, and to the extreme pain of his most holy Mother, deliver the souls in purgatory, and especially that one amongst them all which was the most devout to her; that it may soon attain unto Thy glory, there to praise Thee in her and her in Thee world without end. Amen.
And today we celebrate...
