Purgatorian Manual

Purgatorian Manual is a timeless treasury of Catholic devotion dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. For more than a century, this beloved classic has guided the faithful in fulfilling one of the Church's greatest spiritual works of mercy: praying for the dead. Faithfully restored and newly typeset, this edition gathers together indulgenced prayers, traditional devotions, Mass prayers, novenas, litanies, Rosaries, daily offerings, and a structured thirty-one-day program of intercession for the faithful departed. Compiled by the Redemptorist Fathers and enriched by the teachings of St. Alphonsus Liguori, this manual not only provides prayers but also forms Catholics in the doctrine of Purgatory, the Communion of Saints, and the spiritual bond that unites the Church Militant, Suffering, and Triumphant. By uniting prayer, sacrifice, indulgences, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with Christ's redeeming love, readers participate in the Church's mission of charity toward those undergoing purification while deepening their own hope of eternal life.
