Dear Friends,
Yesterday I received a phone call from a relative whose name is John. He is an alcoholic and is in big trouble. His liver has just about had it. He wife been has been told by a doctor at the hospital, that she is going to be a widow before long. I have told John that I will pray for him, and will get others to pray for him. Please say whatever prayers you can say for John to be healed. I will be very grateful to you, and so will his wife and his children (who are still quiet young.)

Be assured that I will pray for all your needs and intentions everyday in my own prayers. May I make a request? Please offer prayers for the relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and ask them to pray for John to become well and to stop drinking and also to stop smoking.

The Holy Souls in Purgatory are powerful intercessors for their benefactors. They have proven this many times throughout the centuries. Please also recommend this desperate case to St. Philomena the Wonder Worker. Please also ask others for pray for John. Thank you.
Greetings and prayers for all your intentions,
Mary Ann

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.

I will give you an example of the power of the Holy Souls in Purgatory for their benefactors that a lady I know received.

A favour granted by the Holy Souls in Purgatory
A lady who I know was in a desperate situation where she faced bankruptcy. The local council was hell-bent on making her property a “heritage listed property” which means that she would not be able to do any changes to it without their permission and that she would not be able to sell it either. This case went on at council meetings for a whole 18 months. On the day of the final showdown council meeting, she was advised to offer her merits for the month for the relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory and to ask their intercession in her property case with the council. At the meeting that night one of the council members suddenly remembered a similar case where the council got their fingers burnt financially when the owner of the property took the case to the Land and Environment Court and won the case. The council got “cold feet over the matter” and she won the case and was allowed to sell her property. (She did not have the money to pay the next month’s mortgage that is why it was so important for her to sell the property almost immediately.)

There are more examples of the intercession of the Holy Souls in Purgatory and ways to help them on this webpage:

Father, in the name of Your beloved Son Jesus please look mercifully upon John’s family and make all things work towards their true good.
Please flood their lives with Your powerful graces and embrace them in Your love.
 
Blessed Saint Bruno, I ask your intercession for my fellow sinner John, that he may, through your intercession and example, gain the strength to overcome the temptations of this world, and instead learn to prefer nothing above the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Dear Holy Souls of Purgatory, please pray for John and obtain from our Lord for him the graces he needs to quit drinking and smoking. Good St. Philomena, please intercede for John to seek and find help to break out of his bad habits. Amen.
