November - month dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, Novena starting today

[Inbonum]

I am starting today with new novena for Holy Souls in Purgatory and if you want join in prayer!
I will post prayers for each day.

This novena was composed by saint Alphonso Maria Liguori who especially loved poor souls in Purgatory.
Souls in Purgatory never forget who prayed for them and helped them enter Heaven so remember that everytime you pray for poor Souls you also have intercessor(s) who pray for you (we are not sure if they can pray for us while in Purgatory or only when they enter Heaven. I personally believe they pray for us while they are still in Purgatory).

Praying for living and dead is also one of Spiritual acts of Mercy!
Let’s help poor Souls to enter Heaven and get consolation in their suffering.

1.day

Meditation/Reflection – Contemplate on how each soul in purgatory, must endure their current state of torment. Without their suffering, these poor souls can not be cleansed of their sins in life.

Prayer:

“O Jesus, my Savior, I have so often deserved to be cast into hell. how great would be my suffering if I were now cast away and obliged to think that I myself had caused my damnation. I thank Thee for the patience with which Thou hast endured me. My God, I love Thee above all things and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because Thou art infinite goodness. I will rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of perseverance. Have pity on me and at the same time on those blessed souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.”

Amen.

 

[Inbonum]

2.day

Meditation/Reflection – Every soul in purgatory, is tormented by how they have lost the time when they could earn merits for Heaven before they died. They are pained with the knowledge that they could have used time for penance. They would have been absolved of the very sins that have landed them in purgatory, and would have been granted entry into Heaven.

Prayer:

“Woe to me, unhappy being, so many years have I already spent on earth and have earned naught but hell! I give Thee thanks, O Lord, for granting me time even now to atone for my sins. My good God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Send me Thy assistance, that I may apply the time yet remaining to me for Thy love and service; have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.”

For the Souls in Purgatory

My Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine
agony in the Garden, in Thy scourging and crowning
with thorns, on the way to Calvary, in Thy crucifixion
and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and
especially on those who are most forsaken. Deliver
them from the terrible torments they endure; call
them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace
in paradise. Amen.

3.day

Meditation/Reflection – Contemplate on one of the greatest torments suffered by those in purgatory. Each soul has to endure the hideous visions of their guilt, reliving each moment of their sinful act. In purgatory each sin feels like a burning flame within our very soul.

Prayer:

“My God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I love Thee above all things, and repent with my whole heart of my offenses against Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. And thou, Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.”

4.day

Meditation/Reflection – The grief of having offended and betrayed God and Jesus, is so over whelming that it tears at the very soul. In purgatory, this truth can not be ignored, as each soul sees firsthand, the anguish that their sins have put God through.

Prayer:

“My God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I am sorry with my whole heart for having offended Thee. I promise to die rather than ever offend Thee more. Give me holy perseverance; have pity on me, and have pity on those holy souls that burn in the cleansing fire and love Thee with all their hearts. O Mary, Mother of God, assist them by thy powerful prayers.”

5.day

Meditation/Reflection – As we invoke the novena it becomes clear that without our assistance, the souls of purgatory could languish in torment even longer. Knowing that release will come one day keeps them hopeful, but not knowing when only adds to their torment.

Prayer:

“Woe to me, unhappy being, if Thou, O Lord, hadst cast me into hell; for from that dungeon of eternal pain there is no deliverance. I love Thee above all things, O infinite God and I am sincerely sorry for having offended Thee again. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.”

6.day

Meditation/Reflection - Holy souls find comfort in remembrance of the Passion of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Sacrament because they know that the Passion of Jesus Christ will redeem them, and they have found comfort and still find it in Holy Mass and Communion. Yet they are still hurt by the thought of not appreciating these two wonderful gifts of the love of Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

“My Divine Redeemer, Thou didst die for me on the Cross, and hast so often united Thyself with me in Holy Communion, and I have repaid Thee only with ingratitude. Now, however, I love Thee above all things, O supreme God; and I am more grieved at my offences against Thee than at any other evil. I will rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to their aid with thy powerful intercession.”

7.day

Meditation/Reflection – Slowly and painfully, the moments of their purgatorial confinement begin to pass. As they are nearing the end of their torment. Their desire to be delivered from their suffering, makes way for their need to praise God forever, and to love him even more deeply.

Prayer:

“God, Father of Mercy, satisfy this their ardent desire! Send them Thy holy Angel to announce to them that Thou, their Father, are now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived.”

8.day

Meditation/Reflection – Souls that have been cleansed of sin by the flames of purgatory, are well aware that their sins could have condemned them to an eternity of suffering. Only through the divine grace and loving mercy of God, have they been pardoned, and spared from the Hell that they deserved.

Prayer:

“Oh my God! I also am one of these ungrateful beings, having received so much grace, and yet despised Thy love and deserved to be cast by Thee into hell. But Thy infinite goodness has spared me until now. Therefore, I now love Thee above all things, and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I will rather die than ever offend Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to their aid with thy powerful intercession.”

9.day

Meditation/Reflection - The sufferings of holy souls are great: fire, sorrow, darkness, the uncertainty of redemption from the prison in which they are, but the greatest of all is the sorrow of being separated from their divine Bridegroom, of being without his blessed presence.

Prayer:

“My God! How was it possible that I, for so many years, have borne tranquilly the separation from Thee and Thy holy grace! O infinite Goodness, how long-suffering hast Thou shown Thyself to me! Henceforth, I shall love Thee above all things. I am deeply sorry for having offended Thee; I promise rather to die than to again offend Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance, and do not permit that I should ever again fall into sin. Have compassion on the holy souls in Purgatory. I pray Thee, moderate their sufferings; shorten the time of their misery; call them soon unto Thee in heaven, that they may behold Thee face to face, and forever love Thee. Mary, Mother of Mercy, come to their aid with thy powerful intercession, and pray for us also who are still in danger of eternal damnation.”
