Introibo Ad Altare Dei

Purgatory is the place where already saved souls are cleansed of the temporal effects of sin before they are allowed to see the holy face of Almighty God. Revelation 21:27 tells us that “…nothing unclean will enter Heaven.”

“Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.”

St. John Chrysostom

Benefits of the Mass to the souls in purgatory.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, With the poor souls in Purgatory

Purgatory, St Ann RC Church, Buffalo NY

Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets’ warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning!

Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth,
when from heaven the Judge descendeth,
on whose sentence all dependeth.

Forgive, O Lord,

the souls of all the faithful departed

from all the chains of their sins

and by the aid to them of your grace

may they deserve to avoid the judgment of revenge,

and enjoy the blessedness of everlasting light.

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, All Souls, November 2nd

Eternal Rest Grant unto Them Oh Lord, Let perpetual light shine upon them, May they Rest in Peace, Amen.
