I am looking for a Rosary specific to praying for the holy souls in purgatory. Would you have anything like this that you could email me?
Hi, try googling ‘the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.’ also look up ‘St. Gertrude the Great’s prayer for the dead and those in Purgatory’. That sounds like what you are looking for. Hope this helps and God bless 🙂
The attached link has got a 9 nine day Novena for the poor souls in Purgatory.
