We all do at Mass. I do each day. When I receive Communion. There’s an ongoing thread in Prayer Intentions…

and you’ll reach others with this post.

Bless you Michael

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name, please flood Your merciful healing and love upon these souls.
 

St. Gertrude’s Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
For the release of 1,000 souls to heaven each time this prayer is said. Say this prayer often and make it known.​

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, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Paul
 
If I pray the Fatima prayer during my rosary am I praying for the souls in purgatory? I’ve always thought I was.
 
i don’tremember where i foudn this prayer but i pray this and send out with my prayre chain as a prayer for souls in purgatory and those who are forgotten here on earth:
Jesus, for the sake of the agony that You endured in the Garden of Gethsemane, at the Scourging and Crowning of Thorns, on the way to Mt. Calvary, at Your Crucifixion and at Your Death, and the glory of Your Resurrection, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory, on those who are completely forgotten; and especially on those that are most forsaken; do deliver them from the dire torments they endure; deliver them from their bitter pains, call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise.
 
My wife and I do this at every mass, in adoration and in our daily prayers. This is an obligation for each of us as part of the Church Militant, i.e., to pray for others of the Church Militant and the Church Suffering, (those in purgatory) Those who make up the Church Suffering, cannot pray for themselves, but do pray for us. Lets return this gift of prayer.
Prayers & blessings

I do as many times a day as I can…

Eternal Father, I offer you 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.

I’ve got it taped to the mirror in my bathroom so I never forget. You know we can even pray when brushing our teeth:D

Already do. Here is my daily prayer, from Susan Tassone…

"A Morning Offering For The Holy Souls

O my God, I offer thee every thought, word, and deed of the day now beginning for the poor souls in purgatory; my rising and lying down, my going out and coming in, my work and recreation, my sorrows and delights, my successes and disapointments, my good fortune and mishaps, my gains and my losses, all that I may do, say, or feel, beseeching Thee that through the infinite merits of the Passion of The Divine Son, to which I unite all my works, these poor souls my be speedily released from their dolorous pains to see, love, and enjoy Thee forever. Amen."

Followed by the Offering of the Heroic Act. I think that covers all bases.

Yes, every single day. And at all Masses. Won’t it be wonderful one day, to converse with these precious souls… face to face! God bless.
 
Here is a lovely set of invocations, which I got from a pamphlet at church. I pray these at Adoration and at other times, as well:

**Pious Invocations for the Souls in Purgatory
**
From the Holy Bible:
“It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins.”
(2 Machabees 12:46)

Please add after each invocation the ejaculation:
My Jesus Mercy!
  1. O Lord Jesus, by the precious Blood which Thou didst shed in the Garden of Olives, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that is most abandoned. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  2. O Lord Jesus, by the precious Blood Thou didst shed during Thy scourging, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that did most good during life. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  3. O Lord Jesus, by the precious Blood Thou didst shed during Thy crowning with thorns, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that was most devoted to the Blessed Virgin. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  4. O Lord Jesus, by the precious Blood which Thou didst shed in the carrying of Thy Cross, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that is suffering because of my bad example. Place it today in heaven that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  5. O Lord Jesus, by the merits of the chalice of Thy precious Blood which Thou didst present to Thine Apostles at the last supper, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that is most devoted to the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  6. O Lord Jesus, by the merits of the precious Blood which flowed from Thy Sacred wounds, deign to help and release the souls in Purgatory, particularly the souls of those to whose care Thou didst confide me on earth. Place them today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother they may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  7. O Lord Jesus, by the merits of the precious Blood which flowed from Thy Sacred Heart, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the souls that did most to propagate devotion to Thy Blessed Heart. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  8. O Lord Jesus, by the merits of Thy holy resignation on the cross, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that hath most to suffer through me. Place it today in heaven that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
  9. O Lord Jesus, by the merits of the tears shed by the Blessed Virgin at the foot of Thy cross, deign to help and release the souls in purgatory, particularly the soul that is dearest to Thee. Place it today in heaven, that united with the Angels and Thy Blessed Mother, it may praise Thee forever. Amen.
Let us pray
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed, the remission of all their sins, that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

May they rest in peace.

Amen.

I’m not sure about the promise attached to that prayer (is it an approved promise?)

BUT - it is a beautiful prayer and I say it at the raising of the Chalice at each Mass I attend, whenever I pass a cemetery, a roadside cross, or any time I am reminded of someone’s passing.
