Click this video for the recitation of the prayer and pray along  with it  for a solemn act of prayer ABOUT THE APOSTLES CREED The Apostles' Creed is one of the most ancient and widely recognized statements of Christian faith in the Catholic tradition. It serves as a concise summary of the core beliefs held by Catholics and many other Christian denominations. This prayer is named after the apostles, as it is believed to reflect the essential teachings they handed down to the early Christian community. The Apostles' Creed typically goes as follows: "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead. I ...

Devotion to the Shoulder Wound of Christ I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit.

And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins."   Daily Prayer O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy flesh and laid ba...

HOW LONG DO SOULS REMAIN IN PURGATORY? The length of time souls are detained in Purgatory depends on: a) the number of their faults; b) the malice and deliberation with which these have been committed; c) the penance done, or not done, the satisfaction made, or not made for sins during life;  d) Much, too, depends on the suffrages offered for them after death What can safely be said is that the time souls spend in Purgatory is, as a rule, very much longer than people commonly imagine. We will quote a few of the many instances which are recounted in the lives and revelations of the Saints. St. Louis Bertrand's father was an exemplary Christian, as we should naturally expect, being the father of so great a Saint. He had even wished to become a Carthusian monk until he learned that it was not God's will for him. When he died, after long years spent in the practice of every Christian virtue, his saintly son, fully aware of the rigors of God's Justice, offered many Masses and po...
