Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory-may we always remember them in our prayers.

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

Oh God,

whose goodness and mercy are unbounded,

listen to the prayers we offer Thee

in behalf of our suffering brethren in purgatory.

O bountiful Jesus,

who upon the cross

didst shed the last drop of Thy blood

for the redemption of mankind,

look with compassion upon the sufferings

of these dear souls.

Let some drops of the precious blood flow upon them,

and purify their least stains,

and extinguish the devouring flames in which they are plunged.

Deliver them, O merciful Jesus,

from that place of darkness and tortures,

and receive them immediately

into Thy paternal bosom,

there to behold, and praise,

and love Thee for all eternity.

Amen.

The Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory is a great Catholic prayer. We pray for the poor souls in Purgatory to be united with God in Heaven soon. As their sin is purged so that they may be in with Him in Heaven, they are suffering. Yet, they have the joy of knowing that they will join God in Heaven. The holy souls in Purgatory are part of our Church. We can pray for them that their time in Purgatory may be short and that they may soon see the glories of Heaven.
