Rorate Caeli

New, free Mass Cards for the RC Purgatorial Society (and more good news)!



Thanks to our kind and wonderful graphic artist M., and thanks to a reader who took it upon himself to provide some of the translation, we now have two new, "fillable" and free Mass Cards for our Purgatorial Society -- one with the prayer at the bottom in Latin and one with the prayer (and the entire card) in Spanish. The Mass Cards are for you to give to the family and friends of the deceased person(s) you enrolled and let them know you are praying for them and that our Society priests are saying Masses for them and the other enrolled Souls.You may consider enrolling Souls and giving their loved ones these cards as an act of charity this Lent. 


And there's more good news: We added yet another fine priest to the Society's roster and now stand at 90 priests currently saying weekly or monthly traditional Latin Masses for the Souls. Come on Fathers, let's get this to 100!


** Click here to download a "fillable" PDF Mass Card in English to give to the loved ones of the Souls you enroll. It's free for anyone to use. **

Priests: The Souls still need more of you saying Mass for them! Please email me to offer your services. There's nothing special involved -- all you need to do is offer a weekly or monthly TLM with the intention: "For the Souls enrolled in the Rorate Caeli Purgatorial Society." And we will always keep you completely anonymous unless you request otherwise. 

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 try to send one or two emails per day — you do not need to send each name in an individual email). 

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 90 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.
