💙 TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH! 💛

As we close another month, let us remember and honor St. John Bosco, Father and Teacher of the Youth, whose life was a shining example of faith, kindness, compassion, and dedication to the young.
May his teachings continue to inspire us to become instruments of God's love, to guide the youth with patience, and to serve others with joyful hearts.

🙏 PRAYER TO ST. JOHN BOSCO

O Saint John Bosco, Father and Teacher of Youth, you who labored so much for the salvation of our souls.

Be our guide in seeking the good of our souls and the salvation of our neighbor. Help us to conquer our passions and live our faith bravely;
Teach us to love Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Mary Help of Christians and our Holy Father the Pope, and obtain for us from God the grace of a happy death so that we may all be gathered together in heaven. Amen

St. John Bosco, pray for us!
Mary Help of Christians, pray for us!

Novena for the Poor Souls in Purgatory - Day 5

Meditation
Another great suffering of these Holy Souls is their ignorance of the hour of their deliverance from Purgatory. Though they are certain of being released one day, the uncertainty of the hour of when their Purgatorial term will end gives them great pain.

Fifth Day – Prayer

Woe to me, miserable being, if Thou, O Lord, shall cast me into eternal Hell; for from that dungeon of eternal pain there is no deliverance. I love Thee above all things, O infinite God, and I am sincerely sorry for having ever offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.

Closing Prayers
Pray one Our Father...and
One Hail Mary full of grace...
then continue below.

On Thy Spouses have compassion, on these suffering children Thine; Make these Holy Souls partakers of Thy happiness Divine.

Prayer to our Suffering Savior for the Souls in Purgatory -

O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane, have mercy on these Blessed Souls. Have mercy on them.

R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel scourging, have mercy on them.

R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most painful crowning with thorns, have mercy on them.

Blessed Souls, we have prayed for thee; we entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for us miserable sinners, who are in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen

Out of the Depths Prayer (De Profundis)

(Carries a partial indulgence)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication: If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered. I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word. My soul waits for the Lord, more than sentinels wait for the dawn. More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord; For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption; And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities. Amen

Novena for the Poor Souls in Purgatory - Day 4

Meditation

The pain that afflicts these Holy Souls most, the spouses of Jesus, is the thought of having, during life, by their sins, displeased God, Whom they so ardently love. Some penitents have felt so much pain and sorrow in thinking of their offenses, that they died of grief. The Souls in Purgatory understand far better than we do the claim that God has to our love; they love Him with all their strength. Hence, at the thought of having offended Him during life, they experience pain that surpasses all other pain.

Closing Prayers
Pray one Our Father...
and one Hail Mary full of grace...

On Thy Spouses have compassion, on these suffering children Thine; Make these Holy Souls partakers of Thy happiness Divine.

Novena for the Poor Souls in Purgatory - Day 3

Third Day – Meditation

Another great pain of the Holy Souls is caused by the hideous vision of their guilt, for which they now suffer. In this life the hideousness of sin is not seen as in the life to come; and this is one of the greatest sufferings in Purgatory.

Third Day – Prayer

O my God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I love Thee above all things, and repent with my whole heart of my offenses against Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.Amen.

Novena for the Poor Souls in Purgatory - Day 2

Meditation
The second pain which causes these Holy Souls much suffering is the time lost in life when they might have gained merits for Heaven; and the thought that they were unable to repair this loss, because the time of life and merit is passed.

Second Day – Prayer
Woe to me, unhappy being, so many years have I already spent on earth and have earned naught but Hell! I give Thee thanks, O Lord, for granting me time even now to atone for my sins. My good God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Send me Thy assistance that I may apply the time yet remaining to me for Thy love and service; have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. Amen.
