**A bad case of laryngitis **
Each month I used to meet with a friend. We attended Mass at the cathedral and then had lunch at the shopping centre afterwards. On one of these occasions my friend showed up with a very severe case of laryngitis. She told me that she had been in this state for a few weeks. I introduced her to the priest and he gave her a blessing in honour of Saint Blaise, (the saint who is invoked for protection against throat problems.) I jokingly remarked to her, “You should be all fixed up now because Father has blessed you." We went into the church. A few minutes later the Mass began and I was amazed to hear my friend singing the hymn in her full strength soprano voice. On Saint Blaise’s feast day (February 3), there is a special blessing. The priest takes two candles which are held in a crossed position and places them upon the throat of the person to be blessed and invokes Saint Blaise to protect the person from throat troubles.

A matter which is dear to my heart

The powerful intercession of the Holy Souls in Purgatory for their benefactors
The Holy Souls in Purgatory are not able to pray for themselves or do anything at all to relieve their suffering: They rely on our prayers and efforts to help them. It is permissible to believe that they can pray for their benefactors. St. John Vianney said: “If one knew what we may obtain from God by the intercession of the Poor Souls, they would not be so much abandoned. Let us pray a great deal for them, they will pray for us.” St Theresa of Avila (Spain) said that "She always obtained the favours which she asked from God, through the intercession of the Poor Souls in Purgatory. We must help the Holy Souls in Purgatory. In the bible it says that he, who stops (closes) his ears to the cry of the poor, shall cry himself and shall not be heard.
One example of their intercession for their benefactors
For about a year Sarah was give a very heavy trial. She prayed many prayers asking for the intercession the saints in heaven, but received no help. In one of her prayer books was a novena prayer to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Sarah was very reluctant to make this prayer, because it actually asked the Holy Souls in Purgatory to obtain the favour for her when they reached heaven, and she was worried that this might take far too long, but in desperation she said the prayer anyway. (She now knows from reading books on the subject of Purgatory, that the Holy Souls in Purgatory can obtain favours for their benefactors, while they are still in the flames of Purgatory.) The prayer that was in the novena book, was one in which you offer your merits for a chosen period of time, for the relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Sarah’s offering was for that particular month. She renewed the offering for nine days in row, not that this was necessary. Once would have been enough. At the end of the nine days the prayer was granted! Sarah told a lady in her parish about this favour, and the lady urged her to tell another lady named Jennifer about the intercession of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, because Jennifer was involved in a long running dispute, which was threatening to cause financial disaster for her. Sarah rang Jennifer and advised her. Jennifer made an offering for the Holy Souls and the dispute was resolved the very same day! This led Sarah to become a passionate promoter of the Holy Souls in Purgatory and as a result, other people received have their favours also.
