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

DAY 29 - NOVEMBER 29

We must never cease to interest ourselves in the Souls in Purgatory. The honor and glory of God, and our own salvation is concerned with their release.

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 Thy Nativity and Holy Childhood, deliver from Purgatory all the Holy Souls confined there, particularly the soul of the youngest to incur Thy displeasure because of youthful carelessness. Take him today to Thy Heavenly Throne, that he may evermore praise and glorify Thee and will intercede for me at 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 6 - NOVEMBER 29

“AT NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP, YOU SHOULD RETIRE TO SOME PLACE AND EXAMINE THE THINGS WHICH HAPPENED TO YOU THAT DAY, YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS, EXAMINING YOUR CONSCIENCE WITH GREAT DILIGENCE . . . AND AT THE END YOU SHOULD SAY AN OUR FATHER AND A HAIL MARY. AFTER THIS HAS BEEN FINISHED, YOU SHOULD LIE DOWN, OCCUPYING YOURSELF WITH THE THOUGHT OF HOW YOU ARE TO AMEND YOURSELF ON THE FOLLOWING DAY.” (Letter to Jesuit Novice, João Bravo, from Malacca in Malaysia, 23rd June 1549).

Take a few moments to think back over your day.
What were the thoughts, the words and the actions of which you were most proud?
What were the thoughts, the words and the actions which you regret?

Father, as I look back on this day, there are so many teeming thoughts, such a babble of words, and such a blur of activity, that it is difficult to see your gentle and faithful presence amid it all. Show yourself to me today, and every day. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Francis Xavier: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

DAY 1 - NOVEMBER 29

O most Holy Virgin, who was pleasing to the Lord and became His mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look kindly on me as I implore your powerful intercession. O most Holy Mother, who by your blessed Immaculate Conception, from the first moment of your conception did crush the head of the enemy, receive our prayers as we implore you to present at the throne of God the favor we now request...

(State your intentions here...)

O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my petition if it be the Divine Will. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.

Our Lady of Immaculate Conception: Pray for us!
