Novena for the Holy Souls in Purgatory Day 7

Meditation

A further great sorrow of these Holy Souls consists in their ardent desire for the Beatific Vision. Slowly and painfully the moments of their Purgatorial imprisonment pass by; for, they love God deeply, and desire to be delivered from their sad prison in order to praise Him forever.

Prayer

O God, Father of Mercy, satisfy this their ardent desire! Send them Your holy Angel to announce to them that You, their Father, are now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with your powerful intercession.

OUR FATHER...

HAIL MARY...

Sweet Lord Jesus have compassion on the Blessed Souls of Purgatory;

Make these Holy Souls partakers of Your happiness Divine.

Prayer to our Suffering Savior for the Souls in Purgatory

Sweet Lord Jesus, because of our sins You sweat blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because you chose to drink for us the bitter cup of Your Heavenly Father, saying: "Not my will but Thy will be done," have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because You endured the pains of the most cruel scourging on your holy body, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because you endured the crowning of thorns as they puncture your holy head, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because you endured the pain of carrying the Cross to Calvary for us, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because of the pain you endured as your hands and feet were being nailed to the Cross, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because of the most bitter agony you endured as a crucified criminal to save us from hell, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

Sweet Lord Jesus, because of the immense pain You endured as you breathe forth Your Blessed Soul, have mercy on the Souls in purgatory.

R. Lord, have mercy.

[At this moment, ask the Holy Souls in purgatory to intercede for you. Always ask them to pray for you to have the HOLY FEAR OF GOD.]

Blessed Souls, now we have prayed for you; we entreat you, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for us miserable sinners, who are in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Beseech God our heavenly Father to grant us the grace of Holy Fear - in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Out of the Depths Prayer (De Profundis)

(Carries a partial indulgence)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice!

Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication: If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?

But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.

I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word. My soul waits for the Lord, more than sentinels wait for the dawn.

More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord;

For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption; And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
