Our Lady of Heede,Queen of the Poor Souls in Purgatory The Immaculate Mother of God appeared in Heede, Germany from 1937 through 1940. Her pleadings for prayer and penance included warnings about the impending chastisement of God's Justice. While She revealed herself as Mary, Immaculate Queen of the Universe, She also used the title, Queen of the Poor Souls in Purgatory. To emphasize Her plea for more frequent and fervent prayers for the Poor Souls in Purgatory, She appeared in the cemetery of the parish church. In response to Our Lady's exhortations, we should increase the frequency and the fervor of our prayers for the Poor Souls, who are so neglected by the liberals of the Modernist church.
Our Lady of Heede Purgatorian League
Those enrolled in the Purgatorian League share in the graces of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for them on All Souls Day, throughout November, and every month in the special Mass offered for the repose of their souls. They also share in the special prayers (including Lauds for the Dead) prayed daily during November and on every Friday throughout the year, in all of our Religious Houses and before Holy Mass in our Chapels.
Dear Lady of Heede, Queen of the Poor
Souls in Purgatory, hear thou our fervent pleas for the relief of those suffering souls.
As thou art truly the loving Mother of Mercy, let the graces of thy Immaculate Heart
pierce that dark prison of purification and fall as a refreshing dew upon those
languishing there. And do thou, dearest Advocate, implore thy Divine Son to allow the
infinite merits of His Precious Blood to penetrate the darkness as a ray of hope and light
upon the Poor Souls, especially those enrolled in the Purgatorian League, and the souls
of...(insert names), through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
