Rosa Mystica Publications
A Memorial Calendar for the Faithful Departed
Prepared by JoAnne Von Zwehl and Rachel Interiano.
This book was created in loving remembrance of all our beloved Holy Souls, including those forgotten souls who have no one to remember or pray for them. May we never cease to pray for them, trusting in God’s mercy and holding onto the hope that, one day, they will rejoice with Jesus in Heaven and welcome us into eternal glory. What began as a simple “Purgatory Notebook” at Rosa Mystica has blossomed into a lifelong memorial calendar—a sacred keepsake created to help Catholics around the world remember their beloved departed and continue the spiritual work of prayer for the Holy Souls.
