As a little girl, I’m now 66, my parents taught us that prayer for the Souls in Purgatory, which was Always said immediately after grace before our meal. Therefore, when my husband and I had our family, we also say the prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory after grace before meals. So happy to know that it is not only our family that does this. You are both grace filled. Thank you.
Have you considered making booklets of your PowerPoint slides? Your videos are so rich with info, it would help to have a booklet of the entire season series (Lent, Advent) Maybe charge a small fee for a downloadable booklet at the end of each series. May God richly bless you and your work. You’re helping me grow in my faith.
This explanation of mental prayer was extremely helpful. There isxa lot to remember. If possible would love to see a few video examples of meditative prayer.
Thank you for sharing! Our family adds the prayer for the Holy Souls after we say Grace before meals and have been doing it for many years. I also pray for the Holy Souls after I pray the Angelus and when I bless myself with Holy Water.
Prayer to St Gertrude for souls in Purgatory: She said our Lord revealed to her that 1,000 souls would be released from purgatory each time the prayer is said. Pray: “Eternal Father, I offer You the most Precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in Union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen” God bless us one and all! Thank you for sharing your faith with so many people.
I’m sorry to tell you this but the claim that this prayer was revealed to save 1000 souls is simply false. I admire your dedication for this but please remember that no where in St. Gertrude’s biography has she mentioned specifically about that number. Though a great prayer, it cannot release 1000 souls by itself. If you do not believe me, please search on the internet and read credible Catholic articles about it. God bless!

Thank you for the video. I would appreciate the name of the book by Saint Alfonso De Liguori as I can't quite catch it when you mention it. Many thanks. God Bless you and your family 🙏
Carla Mariela Leveling 0 seconds ago Carla Mariela Leveling 1 second ago Yes, just like in the word of God says: “Come to me in humility “. To approach God, we must first humble ourselves, to the core. He cannot resist in love for the humble. When we humble ourselves, we capture the divine Lord, He becomes a captive. God is a beggar. He is in love with humanity. He can’t help it. But He only commutes with the humble, and never with the proud. He looks for the sincerity of heart. He can not only read our thoughts, but knows more than just that. He knows us better than what we know ourselves. He knows the hearts of man. No one can know the heart but God. Still, knowing that He is burning in love with sinners, we must never miss use His mercy, because the time of justice is near. Lord by the power of your mercy, convert all sinners. Amen!
Janelle, your beauty during pregnancy is such a blessing; you are a daily reminder of God's many miracles including being a woman with human life forming within, a life created through the power & grace of love. ♡
I got the Diary of St Faustina a couple months ago and wanted to finish by Christmas but I found if I just do a few pages and I get a lot out of it. I will finish by Christmas... Christmas 2022!
Thank you Bro Ken and SrJanelle. I need guide for mental prayer . I have been wanting this, and God led me to your talk at midnight of Dec 3, 2021. Thanks.
Me too....thank you Bro Ken and Sr Janelle...you have outlined the steps so beautifully. A beginner like me will find it very helpful. God bless you both🙏
Isn’t this the Examen prayer ? Thanksgiving, Petition, Review of the day, Repentance, Resolution I don’t know if I’m missing anything Oh yes the souls in purgatory

Our family prays, “May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace,” with Grace at every meal as well. It’s a beautiful act of love that brings me joy! Thank you for your wonderful reflections!! 🙏
This has taught me so much. I see prayer in a different light, instead of just making request to God for our own needs. Todays lesson/message was so informative. Literally made me cry. Thank you, Thank you for helping us grow in our Catholic faith. I want to teach my kids mental prayer. I pray God blesses you both and your beautiful family.
Oh I connect with you totally. I am reading glories of Mary too!!! Started with the devotions.

Jesus and Mary I beg for your grace.

The presence of the Holy Spirit accompanied by the Heavenly Host our Guardian Angels, Angels Archangels Saints OUR needs to GOD 🙏 for unsaved souls to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior For protection for our unborn and our children who are battling circumstance in their lives For the destitution In our world for all to be converted to the Holy Catholic Church For those of the Catholic faith to continue to build our lives in our faith with more reverence to The Holy Eucharist, reverence to Our Lady More unity , humbly i Plead in JESUS HOLY NAME AMEN 🙏
Thank you Ken and Janelle for sharing with us on Mental Prayer. I always struggle in this area, the mind just wanders. I need to pray for the grace of the Holy Spirit to help me focus on my conversations with God. You have shared some good insights that will help me.
'When you stop trying to be like other people, you end up being yourself. And that is who you were meant to be in the first place.' Anon. Love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.
Today, March 28, you referred us back to this video. Thank you. I wrote down the steps for Mental Prayers, and I hope to make it a part of my daily life.
Yes, just like in the word of God says: “Come to me in humility “. To approach Hod, we must first humble ourselves, to the core. He cannot resist in great love for the humble. When we humble ourselves, we capture the divine Lord, he becomes a captive. God is a beggar. He is in love with humanity. He can’t help it. But Je only commutes with the humble, and never with the proud. He looks for the sincerity in heart. He can read our thoughts and even more than that, because He knows us better than what we know ourselves. But we should never miss use His mercy,
I pray the prayer of ST Gertrude the Great that releases 1000 souls from purgatory each time it is said. There is a chalet on utube that I listen to when I’m resting or going to bed that releases 50,000 souls
Every time I pass by a cemetery it reminds me to pray for the souls of purgatory. I do it at least 1 time a day bc I pass by taking the kids to school. It’s the visual that reminds me.
Thank You Ken & Jenelle. Definitely important to Be Patient in Prayer, and then listen to the HOLY SPIRIT Inspiring us, and sit with it and see what accumulates from this process.,, 💕💕💕🙏
A great video for mental prayer with these three stages of preparation, meditation, petitions and conclusion and all its steps. Thank you Ken and Janelle it has been so very well explained by you both. A great team! God bless you both and family!
Thank you for this great leasson sometimes I feel like I don’t know how to pray but like you saidthe Holy Spirit Spirit helps us to pray when we struggle. I like the part of resolutions I have been asking God to help me feel Moe charitable to those who annoy me. This God is really working on in mr
Question about praying for holy souls. I do, but since I have completed the total consecration to Mary, I've given her the liberty to distribute my prayers and all my good works to whom she pleases.
Happy Advent GOD bless you Ken and Janelle what answered prayer 🙏 Thank you for Advent Retreat I show love to mentally pray I have a vivid and imagination with good thoughts in mind I imagine myself with our lady and Saint Joseph on their way to Bethlehem as I get ready for the birthday our savior Jesus Our sovereign God brought himself down as a little baby also Thank you for reaching out to me during the beginning of COVID Virus last year... I watched all your devotional prayers shows on UA-cam last year especially Our Lady of sorrows there wasn't a moment that I missed one of your shows LOL I see you both have another bundle of joy 👶 Beautiful family you are My children are grown up now One rule of thumb Don't give in to your kids they have to know who's boss In a lovingly manner You both are Awesome Love you in Christ 🙏
Have you ever considered what the Son of God says? ""... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..." Matthew 6:8-9 And... "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:6 And insofar as meditation; "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night." Psalms 1:1-2 "I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. Psalms 119:15 Hate to state the obvious but, you completely failed to include God's perfect and all powerful Word in your clip on meditation and prayer. You ignored the ultimate Source. In His Word God tells us, over and over, to meditate on his Word.
REALLY? I'm pretty sure they've considered what Jesus says. After all, as Catholics we do read the Bible. I know, mind blowing to a protestant! But the Bible isn't the only source. "Blessed are the peacemakers..." your sarcasm filled comments do not sew peace .

Thanks for those kinds words. I''ll pass them onto Janelle.
I got the Diary of St Faustina a couple months ago and wanted to finish by Christmas but I found if I just do a few pages and I get a lot out of it. I will finish by Christmas... Christmas 2022!
There is a Marian Press Podcast of St. Faustina’s Diary in a Year with Father Roesch, too. I believe it is also on UA-cam. It is wonderful!
You are right... Every page is so enriching with so many prayers and reflections
For years I have been trying to figure out what is meant by ‘mental prayer’. Thank you so much for this clear, practical explanation!
Thanks, Ken & Jannelle. This is very like lectio divina, as one can pray scripture like this. Blessings!
Yes!!

Wonderful! Yes, I had be looking myself for something like this before. I am so glad that St Alphonsus provides his method.
Mental prayer, it:
1. Adores
2. Asks Pardon
3. Gives Thanksgiving (not the turkey kind)
4. Begs new graces
The Ways of Mental Prayer.
Thank you both for teaching us about prayers. I learn so much from you both. God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏🙏

Very helpful my meditative prayers start good but go direct into sleep. Will do this method. Great points.
Please consider having a place where we can donate as we are able instead of committing to long term. Some are on fixed income and may not be able to do patreon.
Our family prays, “May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace,” with Grace at every meal as well. It’s a beautiful act of love that brings me joy! Thank you for your wonderful reflections!! 🙏
Wonderful. Glad to hear this. 😀
Could it be possible to have these guidelines written out on a PDF. Already for us to follow.

When we humble ourselves, we capture the divine Lord, he becomes a captive. God is a beggar. He is in love with humanity. He can’t help it.

He can read our thoughts and even more than that, because He knows us better than what we know ourselves. But we should never miss use His mercy,
Ken and Janelle are proof of the saying that when people live together they begin to look alike.
The Holy Rosary is meditation on the life of Christ. Those who mock the Rosary don't know the beauty of this lovely way of praying.
Yes but it is still more vocal prayer then mental so you should still do regular mental prayer if you want to advance in the spiritual life
What book did St. Theresa use?
Thanks for this video. 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for watching and for the consideration. God bless.
Thank you
Thanks so much I found this video great, I think it gives me clear vision of what am looking for.
Question about praying for holy souls. I do, but since I have completed the total consecration to Mary, I've given her the liberty to distribute my prayers and all my good works to whom she pleases.
Interesting. I have not thought about that before.
'Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.' The Word.
