BIBLE - 2Maccabees,chapter 12 verse 46:
"it is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,that they may be loosed from sins"
PRAY FOR SOULS IN PURGATORY
There are times 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 recieve much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays,day of baptism,anniversay of death.
The more we work for Poor souls on earth the more other will pray for us,the more merciful will Christ be with us when we are 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 perpertual light shine upon them and may the rest in peace. Amen! )
Our Lady said that if we pray the prayers "we'll deliver so many souls!"
"The Holy wounds are the treasures of treasures for the souls in purgatory"
An indulgence, applicable ONLY to the Souls in Purgatory ,is granted when the faithful devoutly visit a cemetery and pray for the departed.
