Our Community Prayer 🙏
Make going on this app meaningful and purposeful by reading this prayer out loud each time you log in. “The Heroic Act of charity” is meant for those in purgatory. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O MY GOD! for Thy greater glory, and to imitate as closely as possible the generous Heart of Jesus, my Redeemer, and also to testify my devotion to the Blessed Virgin, my Mother, who is also the Mother of the Souls in Purgatory, I place in her hands all my satisfactory works, as well as the fruit of all those which may be offered for my intention after my death, that she may apply them to the Souls in Purgatory according to her heavenly wisdom and mother’s love for them. Receive this offering, O God, and grant me in return an increase of Your grace. For our children to be United under the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen Explanation: This Heroic Act of Charity is the completely unselfish offering to God of all the satisfactory value of one's prayers and good works --- plus the value of any that might be offered for one after one's death --- for the benefit of the Souls in Purgatory, rather than for oneself. The "satisfactory value" of a good work is its value with regard to making up for our sins and reducing our stay in Purgatory. However, the "meritorious value" of our good works is inalienable, i.e., our merits, which give us a right to an increase of glory in Heaven, cannot be applied to anyone else. Moreover, a person who has made the Heroic Act may still pray for himself, friends and other intentions. The Heroic Act is revocable at will and is not a vow. Its actual ratification depends on the will of God. By making this act with purity of intention, one is relying upon the mercy of God and the prayers of the Communion of Saints to assist his soul after death. The Heroic Act was approved and encouraged by Pope Benedict XIII [1724-1730]. According to the Raccolta of 1932: The faithful who make the Heroic Act in favor of the Souls detained in Purgatory, may gain an indulgence." At the time this was a plenary indulgence with special conditions attached, such as attending Mass, receiving Holy Communion in supplication for the Holy Souls, etc.

Cathedral Buen Pastor de San Sebastián
Visited the Cathedral Buen Pastor de San Sebastián yesterday. Built between 1888 and 1897 in Neo-Gothic style, it’s the main cathedral of the city and seat of the Diocese. The sandstone structure and 75m spire make it one of the defining landmarks of San Sebastián, and inside you’ve got a full vaulted nave, stained glass, and a high altar dedicated to Christ the Good Shepherd. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1953. More interestingly, the Holy Week processions have returned across the region. These include traditional Semana Santa penitential processions, where confraternities (hermandades) carry religious statues through the streets, often depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ. Participants wear traditional robes, some walk in silence or barefoot as an act of penance, and the processions are accompanied by drums or solemn music.
