Prayer to the Blessed Souls to ask for an urgent favor

The prayers to the souls or souls are well known to Catholics. This is because the Church has been preaching for years that those people who committed sins in their lives, after they die, spend a period in purgatory to purify themselves.

However, when this prayer is made, it is a way of helping the soul of all these individuals to ensure purification and finally find the path to God.

There are several prayers that are addressed to souls. It has the specific ones for abandoned souls, for those who need protection and grace, or even for our loved ones to find the light. All of them have different origins and a unique popularity.

The origin of the prayer of souls or animas

The legend of San Cipriano tells that every seven years, 13 souls that came from a catastrophe reach God. But they would not be pure enough to go directly to heaven and not enough to be sent to hell. So the solution was to find a way for them to repent.

To solve this impasse, San Pedro decided that the ideal would be for them to remain wandering the Earth. Thus, they would have the obligation to help people who live in agony until they could replace their sins with goodness.

So, the prayer of the souls came with the intention of making those thirteen blessed souls achieve their mission and go to meet God.

“Oh holy and blessed souls of purgatory! Oh souls who went through the sufferings and anguish of death! Oh souls of those drowned, burned, tortured and shot in war! Oh souls of my deceased relatives and friends! O soul of the murdered, imprisoned and unjustified O souls of slaves and well-intentioned pagans!

Oh forgotten and abandoned souls! Oh holy and blessed souls of purgatory who are suffering and suffering to achieve complete purification and then enter eternal life! Holy and blessed souls, I pray and intercede for you before Jesus Christ, the Savior.

Jesus Christ, by his sweat of blood, by the crown of thorns, by the nails in his hands and feet, by the blow of the spear into your heart, by his last breath on the cross, alleviate the pain and shorten the sorrows of the holy and blessed souls of purgatory. And you, holy and blessed souls, come to my aid, help me in my anguish. At my request, please help me to solve my problem.

By the blood of Christ shed on the cross, throw me out of God the Father, the grace that I need so much. Through Mary, the Mother of Sorrows and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who promised to help souls and free them from the fire of purgatory and attend to her pleas, obtain the grace that I need so much. Amen.
