2025 All Souls Novena
Please join our community as we pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Holy Souls are those who have died in God’s grace, but have not yet entered Heaven.
The Catholic Church has dedicated the month of November to the Holy Souls. It is very important for the Church Militant (that’s us - engaged in a spiritual battle against sin and evil and for the goodness of God) to pray for those who have passed into eternal life. This is because the Holy Souls have no power to help themselves so we must fast and pray for them so that they can gain entrance into Heaven more quickly.
Every morning during the month of November our students will pray the prayer below for the poor souls in purgatory, in the hopes that they will quickly be purified and gain entry into Heaven!
Prayer for the Faithful Departed
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of thy servants, the friends and family of our Padre Pio Community. Be not severe in Thy judgement, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon our beloved departed, and do Thou, O merciful Savior, send Thy angels to conduct the soul of Thy servant to a place of refreshment and peace.
May their souls and all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
