Prayer for Souls

From the beautiful Pieta Prayer Book

There are more souls released from purgatory during the Consecration of the Mass than at any time.  Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered; then feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady and great saints.

Souls receive much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays, day of baptism, anniversary of death.

Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the poor souls; that we pray:

5 I believe in God . . .
1 Hail Holy Queen . . .
1 Our Father . . .
1 Hail Mary . . .
1 Glory be to the Father . . .
1 Requiem (Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace.  Amen.)
