Novena for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787) was a bishop, founder of the
Redemptorists, Doctor of the Church, and patron saint of moral
theologians. He composed this novena for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
The Holy Souls in Purgatory (also called the Faithful Departed) are
members of the Church who await the purification of their souls
before joining the saints in heaven for all eternity. Specifically, they
are called the Church Suffering (the saints in heaven are the Church
Triumphant, and the saints on earth are the Church Militant).
