I knelt down and received my bishop’s blessing and then headed down the elevator and out the door to a gray Cleveland sky that was just beginning to spit rain. Crossing the street to the Cathedral I slipped inside to say a prayer of thanks and ask for guidance. Within moments someone came up and asked to have a confession. Not ten minutes a pastor and already a sacrament celebrated! A fitting way and a good foot on which to start a new endeavor.
2. From Holy Cards For Your Inspiration, here's the prayer of St. Gertrude to release souls in Purgatory. I said this all summer with the parish's Dead Theologians Society, but I had forgotten about it.
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, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
By the way, did I mention that I love the Holy Cards blog? I really enjoy unique holy cards, especially old-school-looking ones. It's always interesting to check this site.
