Prayer for the souls in purgatory

Merciful Father, we know that nothing unclean can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The souls in purgatory are atoning for their sins and being purified of the stains of the soul, paying the debt to Your Justice. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ, therefore we love them sincerely and beseech Your Mercy: "Merciful Father, have mercy upon them, shorten the time of their suffering, and bring them to eternal glory in Heaven." In boundless love for people, You have permitted that they help one another in both material and spiritual needs. Therefore we ask You, through the merits of Your Son Jesus, who shed His Blood for them, have mercy upon them and as soon as possible bring them to Eternal Glory. Gentle Mother, Mary, pray for the souls in purgatory and help them. Amen.
