Prayer Card:  Prayer for the Poor Souls, by Father Angelus Shaughnessy, O.F.M. Cap.  Suggested Offering  $1.00.

The picture on the Prayer Card is a detail from Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment": Angel lifting Poor Souls into Heaven with Rosary.   The prayer card is 4"x  6" and recites the following prayer on the reverse side:

God of justice, God of Mercy, You have no choice but to love us because love is the only word in Your vocabulary. Love is the only thing You think of or say or do, even when we deserve punishment for our sins.

Give us the grace to by-pass the purifying flames of Your love in purgatory by now living lives of sincere prayer, fervent self-denial, and unselfish love.

Help us to unite our labors of love with those of Your divine Son to win the release of those suffering souls who have been part of our lives, especially our family members, relatives, friends, benefactors, and those You want us to remember to pray for.

Keep us alert to the indulgences we may gain to help our departed brothers and sisters, by making the Stations of the Cross, by reading Sacred Scripture in a prayerful way, by spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, and by reciting the Rosary with others at home or at Church.

Lord, we know that where the poor souls are now we may well be soon. Their cries are pleading for our prayers at this very moment! "Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, at least you my friends because the hand of the Lord has touched me."

Eternal rest grant unto them 0 Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
