Show Notes

Fr Isaac prays for all souls, both known and unknown, who have gone before us and now await the fullness of God’s presence in purgatory. We lift our hearts in prayer, asking the Lord to purify them and draw them into the peace and joy of heaven. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
