Jason Gale of TAN Books joins the Catholic Morning Show to introduce the Purgatorian Manual, a classic 1894 prayer book compiled by the Redemptorist Fathers for praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. He walks through its daily devotions, the Rosary for the Dead, a 31-day prayer program, and meditations from Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Just ahead of November, the month of the Holy Souls, Jason explains why TAN restored this Catholic prayer book as a keepsake built to last a lifetime.
Jason Gale, Vice President of Content and Production at TAN Books, joins Bo Bonner to talk about the Purgatorian Manual. The Redemptorist Fathers, the order founded by Saint Alphonsus Liguori, first published this treasury of prayers for the faithful departed in 1894, and TAN has now restored it after it had largely fallen out of print. Jason explains that the book is meant for use every day of the year, with a special intensity in November.
Highlights inside the book:
TAN designed this edition as a keepsake: buy it once and use it for years. Pages in the front and back let you write in the names of family and friends who have died, so you pray for them by name every time you open it.
Jason also previews TAN's upcoming devotional titles:
