All Souls Day

Please remember to pray for: all our departed family and friends , all souls that no one prays for, those that will die this day and most especially pray for the holy souls in purgatory.

Requiescant
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen.
Our Lord told Saint Gertrude the Great that prayer would release 1000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said. Approval and Recommendation by Cardinal Pahiarca, Lisbon, Portugal, March 4, 1936.
Again, don't forget the Plenary Indulgence too!
Visit to a Cemetery(Coemeterii visitatio)
An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary each day from the 1st to the 8th of November; on other days of the year it is partial.
