Deepertruth: Christmas has Arrived, Joy To The World The Lord Has Come

Today is Christmas Day 5!  Merry Christmas December 29, The Feast of The Saint Thomas Becket

St. Francis Xavier, by the sign of the cross, made sea-water fresh, so that his fellow-passengers and the crew could drink it; May we be so impowered by this great faith.

Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the Poor Souls.

Almighty God, who has poured upon us the new light of your Incarnate Word; Grant that the same light enkindled in our hearts may shine forth in our lives through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CHRISTMAS IS THE DAY OF THE YEAR WHEN MOST SOULS ARE DELIVERED FROM PURGATORY. There are more souls released from purgatory during consecration of the Mass than at any time. Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered: then the feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady and great saints.

Lord God, who commanded us to honor our parents, have mercy on the souls of my father and mother.Forgive their sins and let me see them again one day in the joy of the Eternal Light!For Christ our Lord.Amen.

O Lord, You always take pleasure in pouring out Your mercy and your graces.For this reason, I will never cease to ask You to look at the souls of those you called from this world.Do not leave them at the mercy of the enemy and never forget them.Order your angels to take them and lead them to their heavenly home.They hoped in you, they believed in you.Do not let them suffer from the pains of Purgatory, but let them enjoy eternal joy.For Christ our Lord.Amen.

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.
