PRAY FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY
In 1964, I traveled from the Philippines to San Giovanni Rotondo with my parents and siblings to visit Padre Pio. However, we were unable to see him because he was ill at the time and we left San Giovanni disappointed and with heavy hearts. But on June 7, 2006, I was able to go once again to San Giovanni Rotondo on pilgrimage. I was able to view his relics and see his home and church. I saw the brand new modern looking basilica that has been erected in his honor. But it is to the older church of "Our Lady of Grace" that I was drawn. There I felt the presence of Padre Pio very strongly. In the old church I knelt beside Padre Pio's confessional and prayed to him and made a general spiritual confession. I tried to recall the many, many sins of my life and I humbly asked his intercession for God's pardon. Then, in my heart, I felt Padre Pio talking to me. I felt that he was asking me to say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be, for the souls in Purgatory, everyday for the rest of my life. Afterwards, I went to the bookstore inside the church of Our Lady of Grace. There I saw a book with Padre Pio's picture on the cover titled, "The Holy Souls." I purchased the book and learned that Padre Pio offered his Masses, prayers and sufferings for the release of the Holy Souls who are in Purgatory. I had no knowledge of this before I read the book. I feel that my prayer was heard by Padre Pio and that he truly spoke to me in my heart. For those who may read this testimony, I ask you not to forget the Holy Souls but to pray for them by saying one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be, everyday, for their release. Padre Pio truly lives. Viva Padre Pio!

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great** SOULS IN PURGATORY
O Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said throughout the world today for all the holy souls in
Purgatory and for sinners everywhere -- for sinners in the Universal Church, for
those in my own own home and for those within my family. Amen
Peace and Love
