Reviews
This little book is a valuable addition to your prayer arsenal for the Holy Souls. Personally, I am partial to litanies, and there's a litany in this book for the Holy Souls that I especially love. This book contains numerous prayers and advice on how to assist our deceased friends, family, and especially the most neglected poor souls who depend greatly on our prayers. Although our emphasis is on the Holy Souls in November, we should and must keep them in our thoughts and prayers year-round. Get this book and add it to your library; you won't regret it.
This book is the quintessential book for every Catholic. The Holy Souls in Purgatory desperately need our prayers and this is by far the best book that I have found to do this. I gave my copy to a lady who had a relative pass this week. We were in line for the confessional. She didn't know about all that can be done to relieve their suffering. I am ordering another for myself and a few to have on hand to give away.
