As we continue into this month, dedicated to the beloved Souls in Purgatory, let us continue to remember them in our prayers. Perhaps the prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori can assist us.
Prayer to Jesus Christ for the Holy Souls
O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which You did suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane, have mercy on these Blessed Souls, have mercy on them.
R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.
O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which You did suffer during Your most cruel scourging, have mercy on them. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions)
Let us pray: O God, the author of mercy, the lover of the salvation of all; we address Your clemency, on behalf of our loved ones and benefactors, who have departed this life, that by the intercession of blessed Mary, ever virgin, and of all the saints, You would receive them into the enjoyment of eternal happiness; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
