Releasing the Holy Souls - a target for the next 12 days

This month provides a great opportunity to pray especially for the Holy Souls in Purgatory; those who have died in God's grace but who still have to repay the debt "of sin committed here".

And by undertaking to release those in Purgatory we contribute to our own future; even to the extent of possibly avoiding Purgatory altogether and going straight to Heaven.

What must we do?

1. Pray for the Holy Souls and say the prayers that carry an indulgence -

               "O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee"

It takes but a few seconds but it could free a soul; pray it a hundred or a thousand times a day.

2. Undertake acts of penance or charity on behalf of the Holy Souls

3. Go to Confession, Holy Communion and Mass for them.

4. Visit the Blessed Sacrament, even for a few minutes

5. Say the Rosary

6. Recite the prayer of St Gertrude:

    "Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Jesus,  
    with all the Masses being said all over the world this day, for the
    Souls in Purgatory"

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. Amen

PLEASE NOTE:

THE NEXT EF MASS WILL BE ON SUNDAY 20TH NOVEMBER AT 2PM

AT ST BENEDICT'S CHURCH, CLYDACH - CELEBRANT FR JASON JONES
