St. Dominic declared that the redemption of the holy souls from Purgatory is one of the principal effects of the Rosary.

The venerable Alanus writes that many of the brethren had assured him that numerous souls had appeared to them whilst reciting the Rosary, and had declared that next to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass there was no more powerful means of helping the suffering souls than the Rosary. And numerous souls were daily released thereby, who otherwise would have been obliged to remain there for years.

St. Alphonsus Liguori, therefore, says:

"𝗜𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺."

Let us then frequently and with devotion recite the Rosary, which is so pleasing to our Blessed Mother, recommended most especially by Holy Church, discloses to us a rich source of grace, and is so efficacious in relieving the suffering souls and opening Heaven to them.

Should our labor prevent us from reciting the entire Rosary every day, let us, at least, say a part of it. This simple homage to the Queen of Heaven will draw great blessing down upon us. And the holy souls will be wonderfully consoled and relieved if this devotion be offered in their behalf.

PRAYER

Graciously hear, O Lord, the prayer we offer Thee in the holy Rosary in honor of Mary, Thy Virgin Mother, for the relief of the souls in Purgatory, while in devout meditation upon Thy holy life and suffering we implore Thy Divine assistance. Thou, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.

Special Intercession:

Pray for the souls who were most devoted to the holy Rosary. Lord grant them eternal rest, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. (Three times.)
