1⃣ 30 DAYS PRAYERS IN NOVEMBER FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY

DAY 27 - NOVEMBER 27

"Let us accept without a murmur all that God sends us. Every morning let us offer God in half of the Souls in Purgatory all our prayers and good works and we shall help them immeasurably."

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: Most merciful Jesus, by the merits of Thy Holy Childhood, deliver from the pains of Purgatory all the Holy Souls, particularly the soul longest in paying the debt exacted for his imperfections on earth. Take him today to Paradise that he may join the Heavenly Choir in praising Thee and will intercede for me in the hour of need. 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 PRAYING WITH ST. FRANCIS XAVIER

DAY 4 - NOVEMBER 27

“I HAVE DECIDED TO GO TO THE MORO ISLANDS TO ASSIST THE CHRISTIANS IN SPIRITUAL MATTERS, EXPOSING MYSELF TO EVERY DANGER OF DEATH, PLACING ALL MY CONFIDENCE AND HOPE IN GOD OUR LORD, DESIRING TO CONFORM MYSELF, IN KEEPING WITH MY SLIGHT AND FEEBLE STRENGTH, TO THE SAYING OF CHRIST OUR REDEEMER AND LORD THAT ‘WHOEVER WISHES TO SAVE HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, BUT WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE WILL SAVE IT'" (Letter to the Jesuits of Europe from Amboina in India, 10th May 1546).

What activities, pastimes, possessions, relationships in my life are non-negotiable?
Do any of these things get in the way of my relationship with God?
What do I need to relinquish to be free to be my true self in following God's calling?

Lord, before I ever came into being you knew me and loved me. You have knit me together the way I am, and given me life and laughter friends and the faces of kind strangers, and a world of wonder and new discovery. Grant me the freedom and the courage to discover you anew each day in the people I meet, in the places I go, in the sounds I hear and the things I see. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Francis Xavier: Pray for us!
