The above image of Holy Mass is of a Tridentine Catholic Mass for Christmas Mass at Midnight.
As Catholics, we acknowledge Purgatory, a temporary state where those that die with venial sin may be cleansed/purified before entering Heaven. Those in purgatory, however, may be helped by our prayers.
According to private revelation, there are more souls released from Purgatory during the Consecration of the Mass than at any other time. Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered, followed by feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady, and great saints. Souls receive much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays, the day of baptism, and the anniversary of death. The more we work for the poor souls now, the more others will pray for us, and the more merciful Christ will be with us if we make it to Purgatory.
Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the poor souls; she asked that we pray:
5 Apostle's Creed
1 Hail Holy Queen
1 Our Father
1 Glory Be
1 Requiem
Our Lady said that if we pray the prayers, "we’ll deliver so many souls, so many souls. The Holy wounds are the treasure of treasurers for the souls in Purgatory." As Scripture states, "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins" (2 Mac 12:46)
In an approved apparition by the Church, Our Savior, Jesus Christ, gave St. Gertrude the Great this prayer. We would do well to say this on Christmas as well:

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus Christ, 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, for those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Hi Matthew,
Are your sources for this:
I just wanted to remind everyone what I learned only a few weeks ago, that the Blessed Virgin Mary helps release more souls from Purgatory on Christmas Day than on any other day.
from approved Church sources or unapproved private revelation. The only sources I've found are from unapproved private revelations. If you know of any approved sources that state this please e-mail me at mike.humphrey@rcn.com
Thanks!

I pray for the Holy souls in Purgatory each night. November is the most rewarding month to pray for the Holy Souls. Here is a site that has a special set of prayers to free souls from Purgatory. http://www.theflameoflove.org/
I have Prayed this for everyone I know and now I go through the paper and Pray for the ones I never knew. I often ask that the choice of which soul is to be released, be done by a Saint I choose at that moment. look at the site and get the prayers for the Flame of love.
God Bless you all,
and I pray that you stay strong in Faith in these most testing of times.
Peter.
