Novena for the Holy Souls Day 7 11-28-25

God, Father of Mercy, satisfy this their ardent desire! Send them Thy holy Angel to announce to them that Thou, their Father, are now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived.

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory below.

Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemani, have mercy on these Blessed Souls. Have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel scourging, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most painful crowning with thorns, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in carrying Thy cross to Calvary, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel Crucifixion, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most bitter agony on the Cross, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the immense pain which Thou didst suffer in breathing forth Thy Blessed Soul, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions here)

Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee; I entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for me a miserable sinner, who is in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen.

Anything less than screaming for their lynching is being too soft-hearted.

Apple Sky said:

Yes they have. For example, here is a quote of one of Strong in Him's posts:

"1. "earth created before the sun",
"universe is complete",
"creation worshippers",
"Be still and know that I am God",
"everyone sees Jesus",
and others do not even mention, never mind prove, the shape of the earth.

2. "Matthews Bible mentions flat earth" is a completely ridiculous statement. The reference given is 2 Samuel 11:11. This verse is in the middle of a passage about David and Bathsheba. Bathsheba's husband was telling David that he was not going to go home and seduce his wife while his men were fighting a war. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the shape of the earth. Putting that on a poster titled "200 Flat earth verses" is an embarrassment to whoever designed the poster.

3. "The earth has ends", contradicts your verse from Isaiah which you insist says the earth is a circle. Ditto, "the earth has corners".

4. "earth has pillars and hangs on nothing" contradicts your statement from another thread that the foundations are rooted in the underworld."

[...]Many Americans with South American ancestry have relatives who are not legal residents of the United States. These mass deportations are affecting them. The poll indicates that 70% of the Hispanic community do not support President Trump’s policy of mass deportation.

Those who are dissatisfied may not heed your suggestion to "then go with his mother." Instead, if they are of legal age, they are likely to vote for another party, which could place the Republican Party at a disadvantage for at least a generation. Millions of Hispanic Americans affected by this policy may never vote for the GOP again.

You seem only interested in mass deportation over the next three years, without concern for whether the GOP wins future national elections.

I, on the other hand, disagree with President Trump on many issue but still care about the Republican Party. I hope that after 2028, the GOP will become moderate, perhaps following the examples of Ronald Reagan or John McCain, and move forward. However, this cannot happen if the majority of Hispanic voters despise the GOP.

Are you suggesting that a Republican administration should ignore law breaking, just to gain some petty votes?

I suppose excluding a few 3rd world nations that are actually contributing to the economy makes the plan even better. it's not a good thing to generalize. Not every 3rd world country gives "rotten" immigrants.

Says the auto pen. But this is the mantra of the left. Do you deny it? Why not put your money where your mouth is and send that woman back home?

Click to expand...

Hmm. A woman whose story we don't know, but who could have came here to escape a bad situation and seek a better life. Is it breaking the law by staying here undocumented? Yes. But still something I would wager many of us might do in that situation. A much more understandable offense than say:

1. George Santos: Convicted of fraud. Even admitted to it, if I'm not mistaken. Pardoned by Trump.
2. January 6th Offenders: Violent offenders who stormed the capital, resulting in the eventual deaths of several capital police officers. Given a blanket pardon by Trump.
3. Rudy Giuliani et. al: Conspirators in the fake electors plot. Also pardoned by Trump. At least Giuliani still has civil suits against him, but he should be held accountable to the full extent of the law.

Take all those, and compare them to "the woman" who seems so decidedly evil in your eyes. Do you think the God who you claim to support would take the same stance as you?

And you don't seem to understand that that's because your views are not based on science - sometime, not even on reality.

I was thinking, scientists say psychics breaks down when a star implodes. Everything`s limited to the speed of light, except when a star is imploding, dying, it can expand as fast as it wants to, they say.

Does that mean you can find a dying star, and then ride the wave when it implodes to travel faster than the speed of light? Is that the only way do it also?

The light and other material that expands out when the core of a star collapses is still limited by the speed of light... in fact, everything moving through space is.

Apparently sexual desire itself is a sin according to Christians.

Click to expand...

Sexual desire is built into all people. It is the proper application of it that matters. To lust outside of marriage is sin. To lust for another inside marriage is adultery. Lust is the cause of all sin. Lust to steal, lie, murder, commit adultery or fornication , idol worship or anything not of GODS love.

I don't know what your moaning at, it's not been debunked in my book.

Well, let's look at the first few of the actual Scriptures the list of 200 plus mentions:

Genesis 1:1-19 doesn't mention the shape of the earth. You have agreed that nowhere in Genesis 1 is the earth's shape mentioned.

Genesis 2:1 says:

“Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.” (Ge 2:1 NKJV)

Again, no mention of the earth's shape.

Job 38:4-5 makes no mention of the earth's shape.

Nor does Jeremiah 31:37, which says:

“Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD.” (Jer 31:37 NKJV)

Proverbs 25:3 says:

“[As] the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings [is] unsearchable.” (Pr 25:3 NKJV)

No mention of shape.

Isaiah 40:22 says:

“[It is] He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” (Isa 40:22 NKJV)

That verse does not say "The earth is a circle." It mentions the circle or circuit of the earth. Yes, the earth has a circle, and it has a circuit. The verse doesn't say that the the earth is a flat disc, does it?

The context of Job 38:13-14 is the way the coming of dawn causes the shape of the earth (mountains, valleys, etc.) to become visible. You have to ignore that context in order to make the verses mean that the whole earth is flat.

Well, that is the first seven of the 200 plus so-called "Flat Earth Bible Verses." I don't have the time to refer to all 200-plus.

SabbathBlessings said:

I understand that may be your view, but what I care about is what does the Scriptures state, are the feasts days about animal sacrifices. I am not sure if we are reading the same Bible but the annual feast days were all about animal sacrifices and atonement.
So I going to ask you again, why would God kill innocent sheep and goats before there was sin, just for fun?

Click to expand...

I never said, nor does the Bible say, that God killed innocent sheep and goats "before there was sin".

It is my understanding of Scripture, not just a verse here or there, but "ALL" Scriptures, that God desires obedience, respect, honor towards HIM, which is only a reasonable expectation given our very existence is 100% founded in His Mercy and Love to create us in the first place.

I will ask you a question whose answer is necessary before an honest discussion of Scriptures between us can conclude. I answered your question, there is no atonement or Blood (The life of a being) needed, when there is no transgression.

So here is a question for you, and we will see if you will answer.

"In your understanding, Did God know Adam and Eve would sin when HE placed them in the garden"?

We will see if you are really interested in real fellowship and discussion of Scriptures.

Of course not. You just block your ears and cry "la, la, la, la". You don't engage in any rational discourse when your views are challenged.

If my cat or my dog made a mess, how much punishment do they deserve? Very little, if at all. I would be an evil person if I torture them.

Despite our pitfalls and addictions, we trust ourselves and others in the loving hands of God and Christ.

So explain it then.

Strong in Him said:

He can still be wrong.
And the fact that you purchased some of these Flat Earth cards and handed them out, proves nothing - except that you don't always check your sources before you pass them onto others.

1. "earth created before the sun",
"universe is complete",
"creation worshippers",
"Be still and know that I am God",
"everyone sees Jesus",
and others do not even mention, never mind prove, the shape of the earth.

2. "Matthews Bible mentions flat earth" is a completely ridiculous statement. The reference given is 2 Samuel 11:11. This verse is in the middle of a passage about David and Bathsheba. Bathsheba's husband was telling David that he was not going to go home and seduce his wife while his men were fighting a war. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the shape of the earth.

3. "The earth has ends", contradicts your verse from Isaiah which you insist says the earth is a circle. Ditto, "the earth has corners".

4. "earth has pillars and hangs on nothing" contradicts your statement from another thread that the foundations are rooted in the underworld.

This is only a few of the problems. The biggest being that all verses are taken out of context so that the Bible is made to say whatever the author of the poster wants it to say.
I've no doubt this guy is a born again Christian - the shape of the earth doesn't affect that. I highly doubt he knows how to read the Bible.

If that's the case then you & few others on here must have it.

Click to expand...

Not at all.

I'm not saying for one minute that you do have it, and I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone.
But the fact is, there must be a reason why you ask questions on here, or post pictures/YouTube clips; get them answered, debate those answers and then, weeks, or months later, post the same thing again. You must know that people disagree with you and, in many cases, you have been proved to be wrong.
If you don't have a bad memory, what's the alternative? That you are doing deliberately to wind people up? That you want to get attention or a higher post count which might make you feel good for a while?

You will probably say that these are your beliefs and you want others to know the "truth". Considering the number of people who disagree with you and prove that you are mistaken - not only in your understanding of science but also your knowledge of Scripture - how's that going for you?

You haven't answered my post, #1,973. I'm guessing you can't.
