Poor Souls in Purgatory
« on: September 10, 2023, 10:52:20 PM »
November, the month dedicated to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is fast approaching.
So many here on CI, when we die, will have no one to pray for us as our friends and families have long forgotten tradition.
Now is the time to make friends with the Church Suffering.
There is a little book, in print continuously since the 1800's, that is a great help for developing a devotion to the relief of these suffering souls.  It is from the writings of St. Alphonsus de Ligouri by the Redemptorists.

Your can view it here.
https://www.catholickingdom.com/s_Library/Books/M/Manual_of_the_Purgatorian_Society_OCR_CK.pdf

There are 31 little sermons on Purgatory, a short prayer, an intention and a practice after which you pray the Eternal Rest Prayer three times for each day of the month.
It is good for November to read the whole entry and the rest of the year you could just go directly to the prayer, intention etc.

The book contains other prayers, psalms, litanies, Heroic Act of Love etc., 285 pages.
There are now several reprints but for daily use the paper backs just won't hold up.  Though
expensive on Ebay , Loreto Press has the best deal and it's leather.

If we don't forget them they won't forget us.

Ninety-Nine years indulgence for praying the Grades of the Passion for the Poor Souls in Purgatory
from Father Lasance's Poor Souls Book page 374.
Can't you spare 10 minutes?

And don't forget to visit a cemetary and church and pray for the Holy Father.  Most churches will be open for this devotion on Nov. 2nd.

The indulgences are toties quoties meaning you gain them every time you visit the cemetary then the church on All Souls Day.

This reminds me that I have a question.  Over the years, I have seen the Souls in Purgatory described as "Poor" or "Holy".  Should we use "Poor"?  Or is it proper/traditional for either description? I'm not sure if I heard "Holy" in the NO or not.
