A Very Efficacious Prayer for the Faithful Departed
One of the best ways we can love our neighbors as ourselves, is to pray for the poor souls in purgatory. This Efficacious Prayer for the Faithful Departed, is a wonderful way to help the Poor Souls.
The Church Suffering needs our help, and they appreciate every prayer you can offer up for them. Even if all we have is time for is an “Eternal rest…”, we help in freeing the poor souls.
Did you know the faithfully departed will remember us and intercede for us? They will surely intercede for us when they reach heaven. Some of the Saints believe so.
Fr. Charles Arminjon (1824-1885) explains how the poor souls will show their appreciation.
“One day, freed from their torments by our solicitude, they will help us by their powerful intercession, and, when we fly up toward the heavenly fatherland, they will accompany us in procession.”

St John Vianney said, “If it were but known how great is the power of the good souls in Purgatory with the Heart of God, and if we knew all the graces we can obtain through their intercession, they would not be so much forgotten. We must, therefore, pray much for them, that they may pray much for us.”
Please remember to help the poor souls by praying this Efficacious Prayer for the Faithfully Departed.
Who knows? They might do you a favor and pray for your intentions too.

A Very Efficacious Prayer for the Faithful Departed
O Most compassionate Jesus, have mercy on the souls detained in Purgatory, for whose redemption Thou didst take upon Thyself our nature and endure a bitter death.
Mercifully hear their sighs, look with pity upon the tears which they now shed before Thee, and by virtue of Thy Passion, release them from the pains due to their sins.
O most merciful Jesus, let Thy Precious Blood reach down into Purgatory and refresh and revive the captive souls who suffer there.
Stretch out to them Thy strong right hand, and bring them forth into the place of refreshment, light and peace.
Amen.
