When I pray my Rosary alone I ask the Holy Souls to join me in praying,is this O.K.?
 
Greenfields asks :** “When I pray my Rosary alone, I ask the Holy Souls to join me in praying, is this O.K.?”**

I don’t understand your question.
Do you mean, does the Church encourage this practice?
Or, has the Church BANNED this practice?

This practice is NOT banned by the Church.
As far as I know, the Church has not issued a “decree” encouraging people to do this.

So, because the practice has not been banned, you can keep practicing your Ritual.

🙂 I just wanted to know if it was fine,hadn’t thought about banning and decree’s.
"Where two or three are gathered in My name there I Am "
Does any one else do so?
 
Greenfields said :** "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I Am. "**

Yes, this is a beautiful Verse.
I think about it often, as I gather for a Mass.
Together, we are summoning God here … and He IS here.

But, in your case, having 2 Poor Souls (or 2 Million Poor Souls), is not the same as having 2 Human Beings gathering.
I do not know if God has (secretly) added Poor Souls to His promise for Humans who gather.
But it sounds like an interesting Ritual.
Praying to God is a Good Thing.
 
Code: 
  958*Communion with the dead. "In full consciousness of this communion of the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honored with great respect the memory of the dead; and 'because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins' she offers her suffrages for them."500*Our prayer for them is capable not only of helping them, but also of making their intercession for us effective.

The souls in purgatory can and do pray and intercede for us if we in return pray for their relief and deliverance from purgatory…

They are powerful intercessors…read the two links in my signature in the bottom of my post to see how they can obtain all kinds of favours for those who help the souls in purgatory.

God bless you.

Crystal Waters has got it right : "The souls in purgatory can and do pray and intercede for us, if we, in return pray for their relief and deliverance from purgatory."

Yes, I deeply believe this to be True.

Each time I do my prayers, I offer-up prayers for certain people who are in Purgatory (I have a list, and if some aren’t there, then it goes down the list).
And, my catch-all is to offer those Purgatory merits to Mary for her to pick a deserving Soul (if the list is ALL outside of Purgatory).

I have read a lot of things that different Saints have said about Purgatory.
Several Saints have visited Purgatory, and others have heard about it from Jesus or Mary.
And God WANTS us to (at least occasionally) pray for souls in Purgatory.
So, while I am praying for the Poor Souls, I know I am doing God’s Will.
Praying is a Good Thing.
