Rorate Caeli

The Most Hopeful Night for the Poor Souls


Below, please find the sixty-fifth posting of enrolled Souls of the Rorate Caeli Purgatorial Society.

It's been a long-held belief that Christmas is the time when the most souls are released from Purgatory. It is also said that the consecration of the Mass is the time that many souls are released. So for those of us going to Christmas Masses, the consecration at these Masses in particular, we know the graces pouring forth from the altar are sending many souls to Heaven. 

While they won't be posted online, please send the names of your deceased loved ones today. As long as they're in our inbox they're enrolled in the Society. Get them in just in time for Christmas then make your offertory intention for all the souls enrolled in the Rorate Caeli Purgatorial Society. 

How to enroll souls: please email me at athanasiuscatholic@yahoo.com and submit as follows: "Name, State, Country." If you want to enroll entire families, simply write in the email: "The Jones family, Ohio, USA". Individual names are preferred. Be greedy -- send in as many as you wish and forward this posting to friends as well.

Please consider forwarding this Society to your family and friends, announcing from the pulpit during Holy Mass or listing in your church bulletin. We need to spread the word and relieve more suffering souls.


Please pray for the enrolled Souls and the 17 holy priests saying Traditional Masses for the Society:

"For all the souls enrolled in the Rorate Caeli Purgatorial Society: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the Faithful departed rest in peace. Amen."

Then ...

Almighty and ever living God,
we ask Thy blessing upon the priests
who offer Masses for the Purgatorial Society.
Give them a greater awareness of the grace
that Thou dost pour out through the Sacraments,
and by their devout celebration of the Sacred Mysteries,
increase in them a love for Thee.
Give strength to Thy priests, O Shepherd of the flock;
when they are in doubt, give them the assurance of faith,
and in Thy goodness confirm them as heralds of Thy Truth
to all who seek to follow in Thy path.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal Priest,
Who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity with the Holy Ghost,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
