Day 1.

I also thank the initiator of this prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.Thank you for giving my this important opportunity I will start this novena today.
I am so sorry about your husband. You both are in my prayers, and I will remember him when I say this novena again tomorrow.:console:I started my remembrance of those who passed away this past year on ‘All Souls Day’. In fact this November 17th will be the first anniversary of the passing of my husband. We were married 22 years and his loss will be especially painful on that day for me.
Last Sunday my church had its ‘Remembrance Ceremony’ to which I was invited and also asked to invite family members who might also wish to attend. Although my husband and I do not have nearby family my niece did travel across two states to join with me.
I was called up to the altar to light the candle as well as drop some incense into the bowl. It was a thankful moment and I do appreciate my parish priests comforting words that followed. In fact they brought tears to my eyes, yet also lessened the pain of loss.
I will join in this novena for those poor souls languishing in purgatory. God bless them all. My prayers will be with them.

Steve, it takes but one spark to ignite the flames of faith. Your mercy and love reflect the face of our Savior. Christ’s peace, my brother.The Church has dedicated the month of November to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Who will join me in saying a nine day novena, written by St. Alphonsus Liguori, for these Holy Souls? The Novena, which only takes 3 minutes to say, can be found here. Thank you.
God Bless
In Jesus through Mary
Steve
