I found this prayer online and I pray it as I sprinkle holy water: O God in Thy mercy multiply these drops of holy water as there are as many souls in Purgatory and allow them not to feel the pains of Purgatory as long as the moisture of holy water is present. Refresh these souls and bring them into eternal happiness with You in heaven. Amen.

What I read is that you dip your fingers in the holy water and say, "By this holy water and by thy precious blood, wash away all my sins, oh Lord, and relieve the souls in purgatory." Then make the sign of the cross.

Nine ways to help the Holy Souls in Purgatory 1. The Mass 2. Atonement 3. The Rosary 4. The Way of the Cross 5. Indulgences 6. Offer Virtues 7. Intentionally direct our actions to the Lord 8. Holy Water 9. Blessed Candles This is short version of what Alvaro mentioned. I loved his examples this is more of a reminder for those of us who watched both utube videos .

Every day after my prayer in the morning and in the evening I springkled holy water with this prayer " O God ,in your Mercy multiply these drops into as many drops of Holy Water as there are souls in Purgatory, and allow them not to fear the pains of purgatory, as long as the moisture of Holy Water is present". Taken this prayer from the booklet "Read Me or Rue It" by Fr. Paul O. Sullivan,O.P. Prayer crossing ourselves with Holy Water: Sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Grew up with the lighting of blessed candles, burning blessed incense and Palm Sunday palms for relatives who have died. We’d do this on all souls, anniversary of their death, other times as well. They would be lit all day. Mass too was offered for their souls.

Thank you for the video! I myself make the Sign of the Cross with Holy Water and say For the soul of CONSUELO MONTANER NAVARRO (my mum's name) in the Name of the Father and the Son... " Then sprinkle water. Also "Dear Lord please multiply these drops of Holy Water so it benefits All Souls in Purgatory". Also regarding candles, Catholic have been doing that for deceased relatives for centuries. Father Faber recommend making the Sign of the Cross with the "in the Name of the Father..." many times a day saying for the Soul of... Or for All Souls in Purgatory etc

Here it is O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a 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 bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other Wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen.

But to get either partial or plenary indulgences you have to go to mass for each day you want one. People sometimes can't go everyday only on Sundays maybe on Saturday.

But we can go to Mass via the internet-or EWTN has Masses on TV at 0700, 1100, 6.00 pm, and 11 pm. Plus many Masses come from many other places, Fr Mike Schmidt, Divine Mercy Church, etc. even during Covid we had absolutely no excuse!

I tend to have a preference for offering all for the Souls in Purgatory first - since you know it always helps them and then for the conversion of sinners - but even better - praying for the Souls exclusively and then putting THEM to work for the conversion of sinners

As long as you start making note that when we pray "for the intentions of our Holy Father, Pope," it's praying for something objective for papacy, something determined by Church, laid down long ago: - The exaltation of the Church - The propagation of the Faith - The extirpation of heresy - The conversion of sinners - Concord between Christian princes - The further welfare of the Christian people These are the "intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff", meaning papacy, not of a current papal claimant, for which we pray as a necessary condition for gaining plenary indulgences. @uniquelyMary Also, an advertisement for demomic Kundalini Yoga came on your video, just f.y.i., in case you have any control over advertising.
