November Prayer of the Month
The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
The month of November is dedicated to the Poor Souls in Purgatory. While we pray all year for those who have died, this is a special time of comfort and prayer for those that we lost. It is a further consoling thought knowing we are united with the entire Church Militant to pray for all the faithful departed. Let this November be a good reminder to pray for family, friends, and those who have no one to pray for them, so they may be with God in heaven sooner! Join us in remembering those who have gone before us an day this simple prayer in their memory.
Prayer for the Dead
Lord Jesus, our Redeemer,
you willingly gave yourself up to death
so that all people might be saved
and pass from death to new life.
Listen to our prayers,
look with love on your people who mourn
and pray for our deceased brothers and sisters.
Lord Jesus, holy and compassionate:
forgive their sins.
By dying you unlocked the gates of life
for those who believe in you:
do not let our brothers and sisters be parted from you,
but by your glorious power give them light,
joy and peace in heaven where you live
and reign forever and ever.
Eternal rest grant unto them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
Prayer of the Year of the Jubilee of Hope
Make the prayer for the Jubilee of Hope part of your year!
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have gifted us in
your son Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity
kindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us, the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into diligent cultivators of the evangelical seeds
that make humanity and the cosmos
rise unto the confident expectation
of the new heavens and the new earth,
when with the powers of Evil overcome,
your glory shall be manifested eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
the yearning for heavenly treasures
and pour over all the earth
the joy and peace
of our Redeemer.
To you God blessed in eternity,
be praise and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
