Poor Souls Prayers Article

Mr. Peter Finney, Editor of the Clarion Herald, Official Newspaper for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, contacted us to do an article on our Poor Souls ministry, in their ETERNAL LIFE section (article on the Clarion Herald website is here, October 28, page 4) published October 28, 2008, in preparation for All Souls Day November 2008 entitled:

"Designer Prints, Distributes, All Souls prayer cards"


As the article states, we were working to distribute 50,000 Poor Souls Prayer cards by the summer of 09. We took until All Souls Day 09, but we did it. Did you hear the cheers from the Poor Souls that day?

Holy Water thrown onto the earth not only brings brief comfort to the Poor Souls, it also disturbs the devil very much and he immediately flees from wherever it is used.

Are you called to help us with your prayers? Contact us to help with distribution in your church, Eucharistic Adoration chapel, local catholic bookstore, etc. We must have pastor approval before placing them in any church!

As long as you did it to one of these My least brethren, you did it to Me.

The best and most efficacious way of glorifying Him in Heaven and honoring Him on earth is to spread devotion to the souls in Purgatory, and to make known the great mission He fulfills towards these suffering souls.

It gives great joy to God when anyone is the cause of freeing a soul from Purgatory.

Please assist us with the following to help a Poor Soul, and to perhaps save your own soul:

First, pray the prayers found on the Poor Souls Prayer card, which you can download here, with pleasing Jesus first, as He is the one who loves the Poor Souls the most and uses your prayers to lessen the Poor Souls suffering.

Use the Poor Souls Prayer card before or after Mass, but never during Mass. Offering an hour before the Blessed Sacrament during Eucharistic Adoration? There isn't any better place to pray for the Poor Souls than before Our Lord!


All monies donated go directly to printing more Poor Souls cards that are distributed to the Faithful by any means necessary. Pray the cards get into the hands of those who have forgotten the Poor Souls, for as they pray for the Poor Souls, their own soul is closer to being saved. You may keep track of our poor souls distribution.
