Praise report

We have been praying for Jessamyn who attempted suicide last year. I talked to her aunt today and asked how she was doing and she said she is doing remarkably well and that it is really a miracle.
She was not expected to live after her attempt. They are grateful for the prayers.

Quote about praying for the Holy Souls

As I have mentioned before, I would like to post uplifting things regarding our ministry from time to time to keep our spirits up. I thought I would share something I read in Susan Tassone's best-selling book, "Day by Day for the Holy Souls in Purgatory." I highly recommend this book, especially for this group. I find it very encouraging that a book about praying for the Holy Souls could be a best-seller! Anyway, here is the quote from the mystic, Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich:

“I was in Purgatory tonight. It was as if I were being led into an abyss, where I saw a large hall. It is touching to see the Poor Souls so quiet and sad. Yet their faces reveal that they have joy in their hearts, because of their recollection of God's loving mercy. On a glorious throne, I saw the Blessed Virgin, more beautiful than I had ever beheld Her. She said "I entreat you to instruct people to pray for the suffering Souls in Purgatory, for they certainly will pray much for us out of gratitude. Prayer for these holy souls is very pleasing to God because it enables them to see Him sooner."I was in Purgatory tonight. It was as if I were being led into an abyss, where I saw a large hall.

Friday request

From the Facebook group:

asking prayers for my friend Deb, who is struggling with thoughts of suicide. I, by some miracle, messaged her at the right time. She had sleeping pills in her hand ready to end her life when I messaged her. We've been talking for a few hours now and she seems to be better, but Id'f feel better if she were prayerfully protected.
