Bethune Catholic

Seeing that Amy Welborn had a post today about the All Saints Day vigil at the Dominican House of Studies in DC (see more details here) I guess it is never to early to remind you to prepare for November-which is dedicated to the holy souls in purgatory.

Of course this is an apostolate of Requiem Press (besides publishing great books), to spread devotion to praying for these souls. We send a free booklet Daily Prayers for the Church Suffering—a daily commitment to praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory with every order-but of course you can also buy them, we do offer quantity discounts (see our website).

We do need to make a personal commitment to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory—to renew this practice in our own lives, with our families, and in our parish. This simple book, which fits in purse or pocket, has a short prayer for everyday of the week. While the prayers inside (one for everyday of the week) are available in many places (like on the internet for example here), they are handy to carry around in this booklet. Here's the lineup:

Sunday - for the soul most destitute of prayers;
Monday - for the soul nearest to entrance into Heaven;
Tuesday—for the soul which would be last to issue from his pains;
Wednesday - for the soul richest in merits;
Thursday - for the soul who was most devoted to the Holy Eucharist;
Friday - for the soul for whom you are most bound to pray for; and
Saturday - for the soul who was most devoted to our Lady.

These prayers are followed by Pater, Ave, and Gloria and the De Profundis (in English). Don't miss out!

(By the way, I just noticed that my previous post was number 900!) Oremus pro invicem!
