POWERFUL PRAYER FOR OUR LOVED ONES IN PURGATORY

 

O Good Jesus, Whose loving Heart was ever troubled by the sorrows of others, look with pity on the souls of our dear ones in Purgatory. 

You, who "loved Your own", hear our cry for mercy, and grant that those whom You have called from our homes and hearts may soon enjoy everlasting rest in the home of Your love and mercy in heaven. Amen

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon them. 

May they rest in peace. 

Amen.

The classic painting, Christ in Purgatory was executed by Fra Angelico and the prayer was found in a splendid book, In the Friendship of God.
