Prayers for those in purgatory?

[MorganON]

Hi, all.
I’m about to start RCIA and have been going to church for the last few months.

Anyway my question is about purgatory. I have no problem with the concept. It actually makes sense to me in a lot of ways. My question is how do you pray for someone in purgatory? Is there a prayer that is common that I could use?

Thanks in advance for any responses. I want to add praying for those in purgatory to my prayers and I’m just not sure how to phrase it.

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

Our Lord Jesus told St. Gertrude the Great, in a vision, that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said:

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most precious Blood of Thy divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church and those in my own home. Amen

Hi Morgan

First, congrats on entering RCIA. I will keep you in my prayers for successful, grace-filled completion.

Here are two very common prayers for the souls in Purgatory. I pray these two prayers for departed friends and relatives every morning as part of my prayer life. They are easy to memorize.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. May your perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

May these souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through God’s mercy, rest in peace. Amen. .

I sometimes say to God, before starting a decade of Rosary “This one is for the souls in purgatory”.

Thanks for your responses. I will be adding the souls in purgatory to my prayers.

Matt: Thanks for the prayers. I’m excited about starting RCIA.

“In my family every time we says prayers before meals, we end the prayer with " May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen.” This way we thank God for our food and at the same time remember those souls every day.

If you decide to make the rosary one of your devotions, you may announce that the “intentions” of your Rosary are for the Poor Souls. Mother Mary will take care of everything else.
