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

DAY 30 - NOVEMBER 30

Prayer directly offered for the Soul in Purgatory in the petition of a child beseeching God to be kind and merciful. Could such a prayer, offered from the heart, fail to move God?

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 gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of the Faithful Departed. Be not severe in Thy Judgments, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames and do Thou, O merciful Savior, send Thy angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. 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 7 - NOVEMBER 30

“THERE IS REASON FOR GIVING INFINITE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD AT THE SIGHT OF A KING WHO IS SO WELL AND PIOUSLY INCLINED TOWARDS THE THINGS OF GOD, AND TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IF I WERE NOT A WITNESS OF IT ALL, AS I AM, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN HIM.” (Letter to Ignatius Loyola SJ and Jean Codure SJ from Lisbon in Portugal, 18th March 1541).

Do I look for the goodness in other people?
Do I take the trouble to give credit where credit is due?
Do I set out to copy the good example that others set for me?

God our Father, praise to you! I am surrounded by so many good people, if only I take the time to notice: People who speak your word of compassion and kindness; people who act to give reality to your justice and reconciliation; people whose lives are good seed growing in rich soil. Give me too the grace to live in your Spirit, and to be your presence for those I meet as I go about the business of my day. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Francis Xavier: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

DAY 2 - NOVEMBER 30

O Mary, ever blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Queen of angels and of saints, we salute you with the most profound veneration and filial devotion as we contemplate your holy Immaculate Conception, We thank you for your maternal protection and for the many blessings that we have received through your wondrous mercy and most powerful intercession. In all our necessities we have recourse to you with unbounded confidence. O Mother of Mercy, we beseech you now to hear our prayer and to obtain for us of your Divine Son the favor that we so earnestly request in this novena...

(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!
