Purgatory-Saint Nicholas of Tolentino

 

Glorious Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, who with so much faith and tenderness offered to the Lord your tears and prayers for the deceased, we ask you to intercede for our brothers and sisters who have departed, so that the Lord may grant them eternal happiness and peace that you already know in heaven.  Blessed Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, special protector of the souls in purgatory, I entrust to you all my beloved deceased and all the souls in need of God's mercy. Help them with your powerful prayer so pleasing to the Lord.  Dear Saint, who during your mortal life united your prayers to the Mass celebrated for the deceased, help with your intercession the deceased who have not yet attained the full joy of eternal life.
