The Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

This book,"The Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory", is a SPLENDID BOOK!!!Long ago, I used to find the Rosary very tiring, very time consuming. I used to sigh when I began to pray it, as I saw ALL THOSE FIFTY + beads to pray upon....But now that I have small passages to reflect upon, the number is nonexistant! In fact, the passages inspire me; they give me energy and make me feel hopeful, especially when I'm moody or ill and I need a boost from somewhere. The passages arn't long, either(Hump. I don't even know WHY they are called passages anyway, because they are just only one or two sentences long!)The Rosary is one of the best prayers to recite for The Holy Souls in purgatory, and for yourself in general. If you pray it everyday faithfully Our Lady will PROMPTLY deliver you from purgatory! Isn't that a good reason to pray it in simple form? Besides, what do you have to loose? You are pleasing God and Our Lady, You gain intercessors and new, ETERNAL friends, and you may gain virtues from the fruit of those mysteries you think of.The holy souls in purgatory are awaiting your prayers!!!!!!!How would you feel if you saw the face of Our Lord and were held back in burning flames and felt hopeless because you don't know when you would see him again?How would you feel if no one prayed for you?If the Holy Souls would pray for you untiredly for you once you helped them reach Heaven forever, dosen't it remind us of how GREAT their suffering WAS?In my book, that's got to be pretty intense. The pain, I mean.So do yourself a favor - and them a favor-, buy this book. It will be a great present both for yourself and for them. For when we remember the Holy Souls YEAR LONG, we give them Christmas early..This is a WONDERFUL prayer that is not included in this book that I would love to share with you. The following prayer below, once recited, will help to release 1,000 SOULS FROM PURGATORY EACH TIME IT IS SAID!! "Eternal Father, I offer thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, In Union with The Masses said throughout the world today, For All the Holy Souls in purgatory, For sinners everywhere, For sinners in the Universal Church, Those in my own home, And within my family. Amen.

This is an excellent little book for the prayer and explanation to the souls in purgatory. It shows you how to say the rosary with picture and gives you step by step instructions. Each Mystery has description, and it brings a better meaning to what the rosary is. I recommend especially for the price it is great to place in your pocketbook or pocket to carry to church. Its sturdy and the author have met POPE John 11 and had his blessings on this accomplishment. Every time you say this rosary it releases thousands of souls suffering in purgatory for the love of God, in addition these souls will pray for you. Buy this little gem, you will not regret. Blessings and peace to all of you.

Praying the Rosary has long been one of my favorite devotions and I have been looking for a good aid in praying a "scriptural" Rosary for some time now. I could not have hoped to find one better than The Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. As another reviewer mentions, it is easy to hold in one hand, while holding a rosary in the other.The scripture passages for each prayer are pertinent not only to each Mystery, but in underscoring the very real existence of Purgatory. This lovely little book will motivate one to genuinely care about and thus very much desire to offer prayers on behalf of the holy souls who are completely dependent upon us in aiding their release, even though we do not know the souls who benefit from our offered prayers. Since using this book, I have found praying the Rosary to be even more enriching spiritually. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to pray a scriptural rosary and in turn aid the holy souls in purgatory.

I have other books that may help with the understanding of the Rosary. However, if you really want to immerse yourself in prayer, and contemplate the mysteries of the Rosary, then, you need this book. Even if you’re just curious about the Rosary and want to understand the reason for this prayer... There is no need for beads, unless you fancy them. The book is easy to read, and self explanatory, but some archaic words. Other than elevate your soul to deep contemplative prayer, it also guide you to pray for the lost souls and for the souls in purgatory.The only fault I found is that you need to know that the Rosary is completed in four sets of Mysteries. Those sets are separated in four days of the week. On Monday and Saturday you may pray the set of “The Joyous Mysteries”. On Tuesday and Friday you may pray the set of “The Sorrowful Mysteries”. On Wednesday and Sunday the set of “The Glorious Mysteries”. And Thursday is for the set, elaborated by St. Pope John Paul II, “The Mysteries of the Light”. Unless, of course, you want to separate a couple of hours and do the whole entire book.It also has some Catholic vocabulary, (eg. purgatory). However, you may omit them if you only want to ripen the contemplative part of the Rosary. Please do enjoy this jewel that is to meditate on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

Great book!

I've had this book for only a few days and it has refreshed my Rosary. It has a Scripture verse for each Hail Mary and Our Father, and as I go from verse to verse my Rosary goes by so fast I now sometimes do two per day - love the thought of helping the holy souls even more! The only thing I didn't like about the book was the binding (the reason for 4 stars instead of 5). It has a tightly glued binding which makes it difficult to hold open while I'm holding my Rosary with my other hand. Technically you don't need the beads as you can count your prayers by the verses, but I like to use the beads. The spine broke and pages came loose after only a few uses, so I ended up actually taking the book apart and I re-bound it using a spiral comb punch and binder. I wish they had bound it this way to start with as it now lies open flat very nicely and I don't struggle to turn pages one-handed.

Susan's books are all excellent
