| Message | I have had a deep devotion to the Holy Souls since I was very little. My grandmother taught me that I should pray for them and even to ask them for favors and then to have a Mass said in return if the favors were granted. I am 70 years old and have had experiences with souls in different homes we have lived in. Usually it's objects being moved when I am not looking and noises. I had a most unusual experience during the morning hours of All Souls Day this year 2008. I was awakened from a deep sleep by a loud groan at the foot of my bed.It startled me so that I turned on the light, got up and blessed my room with Holy Water. The next morning I sent for a Mass to be said for that soul. Each night afterwards, I heard a single sad cry as if that of a child at the head of my bed. At first I thought it was during a dream, but one night after I turned off the light to go to sleep, I waited as I prayed my rosary for that cry. Indeed, I heard it while awake! I visited our parish priest and told him of my experiences and he promised to remember that soul in his next Mass. We can never pray enough for the Poor Souls nor offer enough of our daily annoyances and trials for their release. |
