Dear Lord, we trust in Your infinite goodness. We praise Your justice and implore Your mercy upon all the holy souls who are suffering in Purgatory as they await their eternal Heavenly rest with You.
You have blessed us with many holy friendships and relationships in our lives. The death of loved ones is always a difficult and trying time, but we can be consoled by the hope that our loved ones are waiting for their eternal rest with You. And we can assist our loved ones in Purgatory with our prayers.
We ask You to bring all the holy souls in Purgatory into eternal Heavenly rest with You, especially the souls of our ancestors and those who have gone before us, that they may be reunited with You in eternal joy.
Help us to grow in love for You and appreciation of Your goodness. Help us to surrender ourselves to You each day.
Lord, hear our prayers!
Let us finish with some words of St. Padre Pio:
“Even if your parents are in Paradise we need to continue to pray. If they don’t need prayers the suffrage are applied to other souls.” -Padre Pio
