JOSEPH ADORATION CHAPEL Monday Friday 6:00AM-Midnight DEVOTION TO THE SOULS IN PURGATORY From The Blessed Sacrament Prayerbook by Fr. Francis Xavier Lasance on The Holy Souls in Purgatory We often feel that we do nothing for the Lord Whom we love so much that all our love seems to consist in protestations, that our lives are miserably poor in good works, our progress in virtue almost imperceptible. Here, then, is a way of doing something for jesus which we know ill give Him pleasure namely, helping to redeem the suffering souls and by our suffrages swelling the ranks of the glorified in heaven. Alas, how often we forget them, these souls, absorbed as we are in the present, in ourselves, our miseries, and our wants! How often we make aimless prayers, which, if applied to them, would bring an ocean of soothing to their pains, and communion without any special intention, which, if offered for them,, might be the final suffrage wanting to complete their term of banishment! Masses are heard, visits are made to the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Matrimony Arrangements must be made with the parish clergy at least six months in advance. Participation in the Diocesan Pre-Cana program is required. where we omit altogether to mention them. The holy souls, once in heaven, are not likely to forget those who opened their prison-gates; they on the contrary, render us a thousandfold for our poor prayers, obtaining us help and graces which we should have never dreamed of asking, pushing us, almost in spite of ourselves, along the road to heaven, and, finally, shortening for us, in our turn, our sojourn in that dreary prison whence we helped to release them. Prayer is heard everywhere, and everywhere we should pray, either by thought, word, or action, yet nowhere is so powerful with God as in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. That a kind of prayer-inspiring atmosphere surrounds the tabernacle is no effort of imagination or delusion of our senses....we may gather from this how greatly we may profit the holy souls by assisting at Mass, visiting the Blessed Sacrament on their behalf, saying the Rosary publicly, offering the prayers of the Church in communion with the faithful, S a c r a m e n t s Baptism Arrangements must be made with the church office. in preference to practicing private acts of piety for their sakes to the neglect of the fuller channels to which we might have recourse. Saints have told us, moreover, that it has been revealed to them that the purgatory of some souls who were especially devout to the Blessed Sacrament during life, consists in dwelling near the tabernacles of our churches a peaceful and consoling purgatory on the one hand, but on the other a purgatory which must enormously increase the pain of loss. Let us make a firm resolution of beseeching the holy angels to help us in our love of the Blessed Sacrament....to be continued. Anointing of the Sick Available upon request prior to surgery or at the time of illness.
