Remembering each other in daily prayer!
Remembering Our Faithful Departed
According to tradition Jesus told Saint Gertrude in a vision that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
“Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious Blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in Union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere for sinners in the universal Church.”
We remember all our faithful departed during this month of November especially all our Sisters, Parents, Relatives, Associates, Benefactors and Friends.
Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . Glory Be. . .
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord,
and let Perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and all the souls of the Faithful departed rest in eternal peace.
Amen.
