1⃣ 30 DAYS PRAYERS IN NOVEMBER FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY
DAY 21 - NOVEMBER 21
To find ourselves forgotten on earth by those whom we love and who have loved us, is a cruel trial - but to find ourselves in Purgatory - forgotten by all whom we loved and helped on earth, must be a most painful sorrow.
Pray 1 Our Father... 3 Hail Marys... 1 Glory be...
DE PROFUNDIS
PSALM 129 (130)
V. Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, O Lord, Lord, hear my voice.
R. Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
V. If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark my iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand it?
R. For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
V. My soul hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
R. From the morning watch even until night; let Israel hope in the Lord.
V. Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with Him plenteous redemption.
R. And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
R. and let perpetual light shine upon them:
V. May they rest in peace
R. Amen.
LET US PRAY: O my God, infinitely just, hear our prayers in reparation for the souls suffering in Purgatory for want of charity. Release them from their pains that they may evermore praise Thee and intercede at Thy Judgment Seat for us at the hour of our death. Amen.
PRAYER OF SAINT GERTRUDE THE GREAT FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY
(A prayer which would release many souls from Purgatory each time it is recited)
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.

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. CECILIA
DAY 9 - NOVEMBER 21
Eternal God, you gave us the gift of St. Cecilia, a powerful protector and patron of music. We strive to pass our days faithfully and innocently like holy St. Cecilia so that we may come to Heaven where we may praise You in concert with her.
God the Holy Spirit, Have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, one God, Have mercy on us.
St. Cecilia, special patron of singers, musicians and authors. Pray for us!
We praise you, O Virgin St. Cecilia, who gave your blood for the defense and faith of Jesus Christ. We seek your prayers for…

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Cecilia, to sing is to pray twice, therefore, we sing praises from our hearts and our tongues as we offer double prayer sent to heaven to praise God. While we try with song to praise God twice, we ask you to help us be united closely to Jesus. Amen.

3⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
DAY 4 - NOVEMBER 21
O Most Holy Virgin, O my Mother, ask thy Son on my behalf for everything my soul and all mankind needs so that thy Reign be established on earth. My most earnest request is that thou mayest triumph in me and in all souls and implant thy Reign on earth. Amen.
MARY CRUSHES THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT
At 5:30 on the evening of November 27, 1830, as Saint Catherine was praying in the chapel, the Holy Virgin appeared to her for the second time, standing as high as Saint Joseph's picture to the right of the main altar.
“Her face was so beautiful that it would be impossible for me to describe it. Her robe was white as the glow of dawn... Her head was covered with a white veil that extended to her feet which rested on a half sphere, with her heel crushing the head of a serpent.”
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
LET US PRAY: O Most Holy Virgin, O my Mother, be my protection against the assaults of the infernal enemy. Obtain for me the graces I am asking of thee and, above all, inspire me to request the graces that thou most wants to grant me. Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

4⃣ NOVENA TO CHRIST THE KING
DAY 5 - NOVEMBER 21
OPENING PRAYER: Lord Jesus, King of the universe, we want to open our spirit in this novena dedicated to you and contemplate the mystery of your life as an Apostle of the Kingdom with your mind and heart. We ask you, through the intercession of Mary, to establish your reign in our hearts so that united to you, we can make your Kingdom present in the hearts of people and in society.
“…that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us…” (John 17:21)
Jesus Christ calls us to make his Kingdom present. The love that burns in the heart of Christ is a love that gathers us in communion and invites us to remain in Him. A love that makes us brothers and sisters in Him.
To live the mystery of Christ means that gathered together in his name, we make his Kingdom present among all people.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
CLOSING PRAYER: Lord Jesus, open my heart so that you can reign in it, make present your mystery in me, and transform my life so that you can continue your mission through me. Amen.
Christ the King, Your Kingdom come!
