From Susan Tassone:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Who<\/b>
\nToday, November 13, as we celebrate the Feast of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, we remember not only her tireless care for immigrants and the poor, but also her deep compassion for the faithful departed. Rooted in her love for the Sacred Heart, she and her sisters made interceding for the Church Suffering a central part of their daily mission—and this is what she shared about the Holy Souls to her nuns:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome daughters, let a heavenly dew descend upon those souls to relieve and calm that indescribable fire. Fulfill the just desires of those souls. It will be to your great advantage to offer your communions, indulgences, Masses, and all your good works for the souls in purgatory. Thus, you see, is a work of perfect charity, giving the highest glory to God and bringing great joy to the three Churches, Militant, Suffering, and Triumphant. With your prayers and indulgences, you introduce the realm of heaven made illustrious spouses of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not fear that you will lose anything by offering your prayers and good works for the poor souls. Rather, be assured that this generosity will gain rich graces for you on earth and sublime glories in heaven. Be assured that the intrinsic merits of your prayers for the suffering are all of an inalienable nature and remain with you always. <\/span><\/p>\n

By giving up this portion of our work to the holy souls, which many do by means of the heroic act, (voluntarily surrendering the satisfactory value of all our good works to God for the Holy Souls) we do nothing less than convert all this into merit. In God\u2019s estimation, one degree of merit and grace is worth more than all the works of atonement we may apply to the holy souls. Do not deny your heart, your prayers and your good works to the poor souls, or you will lose something. Regarding those souls be very generous. Be assured that one who is charitable will receive charity; whoever shows mercy will know mercy. The souls thus liberated by the heroic act will become for us so many advocates and protectors, who will pray and intercede for us to obtain all we need, even the calm sea we have now. But what is more important, they will interest themselves in our eternal well-being.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In doing so, we fulfill the \u201cjust desires\u201d of our departed loved ones and gainful fresh intercessors in heaven for our families.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother Cabrini and holy souls, plead for us!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
