My new bookstore is opening. It will be hosted on Lulu.com

I will be publishing public-domain books that are already available on the internet in an affordable hardcopy format.
The first is a biography of Saint Dominic Savio, authored by Saint John Bosco and originally published in 1915 by Salesian Press. Once I have it ready to be published, I will freely share the ebook in my online library for everyone to read. Below is the cover. May also make this into an audiobook. Will keep everyone posted.
God bless!

Chaplet of the Holy Souls
The Chaplet can be prayed using normal rosary beads.
All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. (CCC. 1030)

12 year novena of St Bridget of Sweden
Admin

Please take note there is a warning from the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office in 1954 regarding the circulation of pamphlets containing the 15 promises of St Bridget for a series of prayers that one needs to say for one year (which is different from the one below). Although the prayers themselves are not in question, the promises attached to them are said to have uncertain supernatural origins. According to an EWTN Q&A forum (link is no longer working) "In short, the promises are questionable, but there is no reason why the prayers of St. Bridget shouldn't be used, as they have been for many centuries."
I am currently completing the first year of the 12-year novena of St Bridget of Sweden. It has several promises attached to it and is composed of 7 prayers.
The 5 promises are:
1) The soul who prays them suffers no purgatory.
2) The soul who prays them will be accepted among the Martyrs as though he had spilled his blood for his faith.
3) The soul who prays them can choose three others whom Jesus will keep in a state of grace sufficient to become holy.
4) No one in the four successive generations of the soul who prays them will be lost.
5) The soul who prays them will be made conscious of his death one month in advance.
Our Lord made 5 Promises to anyone who recites these 7 prayers daily for 12 years. At the completion, they would have honoured each of the 5,480 blows and wounds to Jesus' Body. If a day is missed for a valid reason, they can be made up at the earliest opportunity, and, if the person dies before the entire 12 years of prayers have been completed, Our Lord will accept them as if they had been prayed in their entirety, because the intention of the person was to complete them as directed.

The 12 year novena prayers:
Opening prayer
O Jesus, now I wish to pray the Lord’s Prayer seven times in unity with the love with which You sanctified this prayer in Your Heart. Take it from my lips into Your Divine Heart. Improve and complete it so much that it brings as much honour and joy to the Trinity as You granted it on earth with this prayer. May these pour upon Your Holy Humanity in Glorification to Your Painful Wounds and the Precious Blood that You spilled from them.
First Prayer – The Circumcision
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the first wounds, the first pains, and the first Bloodshed as atonement for my and all of humanity’s sins of youth, as protection against the first mortal sin, especially among my relatives.
Second Prayer – The Suffering on the Mount of Olives
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the terrifying suffering of Jesus’ Heart on the Mount of Olives and every drop of His Bloody Sweat as atonement for my and all of humanity’s sins of the heart, as protection against such sins and for the spreading of Divine and brotherly Love.
Third Prayer – The Flogging
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the many thousands of Wounds, the gruesome Pains, and the Precious Blood of the Flogging as atonement for my and all of humanity’s sins of the Flesh, as protection against such sins and the preservation of innocence, especially among my relatives.
Fourth Prayer – The Crowning of Thorns
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the Wounds, the Pains, and the Precious Blood of Jesus’s Holy Head from the Crowning with Thorns as atonement for my and all of humanity’s sins of the Spirit, as protection against such sins and the spreading of Christ’s kingdom here on earth.
Fifth Prayer – The Carrying of the Cross
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the Sufferings on the way of the Cross, especially His Holy Wound on His Shoulder and its Precious Blood as atonement for my and all of humanity’s rebellion against the Cross, every grumbling against Your Holy Arrangements and all other sins of the tongue, as protection against such sins and for true love of the Cross.
Sixth Prayer – The Crucifixion
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, through Mary’s unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You Your Son on the Cross, His Nailing and Raising, His Wounds on the Hands and Feet and the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these for us, His extreme tortures of the Body and Soul, His precious Death and its non-bleeding Renewal in all Holy Masses on earth as atonement for all wounds against vows and regulations within the Orders, as reparation for my and all of the world’s sins, for the sick and the dying, for all holy priests and laymen, for the Holy Father’s intentions toward the restoration of Christian families, for the strengthening of Faith, for our country and unity among all nations in Christ and His Church, as well as for the Diaspora.
Seventh Prayer – The Piercing of Jesus’s Side
Our Father …
Hail Mary …
Eternal Father, accept as worthy for the needs of the Holy Church and as atonement for the sins of all Mankind, the Precious Blood and Water which poured forth from the Wound of Jesus’ Divine Heart. Be gracious and merciful toward us.
Blood of Christ, the last precious content of His Holy Heart, wash me of all my and others’ guilt of sin.
Water from the Side of Christ, wash me clean of all punishments for sin and extinguish the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Souls. Amen.

Common prayers
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Litany of the Precious Blood of Jesus is a litany prayed in devotion to the Holy Eucharist. It was drawn up by the Sacred Congregation of Rites and promoted by Pope John XXIII on February 24, 1960.
Here is a short guide on how to pray the Chaplet and Litany of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.
