11/22/2025

“If, during life, we have been kind to the suffering souls in purgatory, God will see that help be not denied us after death.” – St. Paul of the Cross
Twenty-Fourth Day
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
Most merciful Jesus, whose loving Heart was ever burdened with the sorrows of others, look down with pity on the souls of our beloved ones in Purgatory. Hear their cries, and grant that they may soon enjoy everlasting rest with Thee in heaven. Amen

​Twenty-Fifth Day
One of the saddest facts of life is that the living so soon forget the dead. We forget when we live: we are forgotten when we die. St. Monica, on her deathbed, pleaded with her son, St. Augustine: “Lay my body anywhere, only this I beg of you: remember me at the Altar of God.”
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
​Most merciful Jesus, lover of Souls. We pray Thee, by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart, and by the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, wash with Thy Blood the Souls in Purgatory. Deliver them from their pains, that they may join the Heavenly Chorus in praising Thee and interceding for us at the hour of need.
​Twenty-Sixth Day
​It costs us very little to help the faithful departed. We are obliged to pray – to assist at Mass, to receive the sacraments – to give alms, and too fast on the days appointed. We are in the state of grace, and​ offer these works for the Holy Souls, they are acceptable to God and speed their relief.
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
​Most merciful Jesus, release the Souls in Purgatory from the results of their imperfections, especially the soul suffering there through my bad example. Take him today to Thy Heavenly Throne, that he may join the Saints in praise of Thee and will intercede for me in my hour of need.
​Twenty-Seventh Day
Let us accept without a murmur all that God sends us. Every morning let us offer God in behalf of the Souls in Purgatory all our prayers and good works and we shall help them immeasurably.
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
Most Merciful Jesus, by the merits of Thy Holy Childhood, deliver from the pains of Purgatory all the Holy Souls, particularly the soul longest in paying the debt exacted for his imperfections on earth. Take him today to Paradise that he may​ join the Heavenly Choir in praising Thee and will intercede for me in the hour of need.
​Twenty-Eighth Day
​In Purgatory, the just and loving soul loses sight of everything but the purity of God, which it loves and the necessity of making itself worthy of this purity. This suffering is so intense, because it is ignorant of the length of its exile from the sight of God.
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
​​Jesus, meek and humble of Heart, hear our prayers in behalf of the souls suffering in Purgatory, particularly those paying the debt exacted for pride. Release them from their pain today, that they may evermore glorify Thee in Heaven and intercede for us in the hour of need.
​Twenty-Ninth Day
​We must never cease to interest ourselves in the Souls in Purgatory. The honor and glory of God, and our own salvation is concerned with their release.
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
​Most merciful Jesus, by Thy Nativity and Holy Childhood, deliver from Purgatory all the Holy Souls confined there. Particularly the soul of the youngest to incur Thy displeasure because of youthful carelessness. Take him today to Thy Heavenly Throne, that he may evermore praise and glorify Thee and well intercede for me at the hour of need.

​Thirtieth Day
​Prayer directly offered for the Soul in Purgatory is the petition of a child beseeching God to be kind and merciful. Could such a prayer, offered from the heart, fail to move God?
Our Father, Three Hail Marys, Glory Be, De Profundis
​Most gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor, captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of the Faithful Departed. Be not severe in Thy judgments, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames and do Thou, O merciful Savior send Thy Angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Amen.

De Profundis
Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, O Lord, Lord, hear my voice.  Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.  If thou, O Lord, shalt mark my iniquities O Lord, who shall stand it?  For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.  My soul hath relief on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.  From the morning watch even until night; let Israel hope in the Lord.  Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with Him plenteous redemption.  And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.  Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.  May they rest in peace.  Amen. ​
