About this audiobook
Jesus invites us to trust in his mercy and to hope in the Resurrection, especially in the face of death. We embrace this invitation every time we intercede for the Holy Souls who are joyfully awaiting heaven—both our own loved ones who have gone before us and the souls in purgatory whom we never had the chance to meet on this earth.
This collection of traditional and contemporary prayers draws from the Bible and the wisdom of the Church. May these essential prayers strengthen your relationship with those who have died and enliven your faith in the Resurrection and God’s loving mercy.
Intercede for the holy souls with this pocket-sized collection of prayers for the dead, featuring an explanation of Church teaching on purgatory; practical ways to help departed loved ones and to prepare for your own death; and traditional and contemporary prayers from Scripture, the saints, and the wisdom of the Church. Perfectly sized for prayer and travel, Essential Prayers for the Dead is an invaluable companion for Catholics committed to the spiritual work of mercy of praying for the deceased.
