More on us
At the heart of the Holy Souls Society is a deep devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows, the Mother who stood faithfully at the foot of the Cross and entered fully into the suffering of her Son. She is a Mother who understands suffering, grief, and pain, because she herself endured them in perfect union with Christ. United with her is our devotion to reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus, wounded by sin, forgotten by many, yet endlessly merciful.
In her sorrow, Mary teaches the Church how to remain present to suffering without fleeing from it. She shows us how to keep vigil with the dying, how to pray where words fail, and how to unite grief to hope. As a compassionate Mother, she draws close to all who mourn and shapes the spirit of our apostolate, leading us gently to the Face of Christ crucified.
Our devotion to the Holy Face calls us to a life of reparation—offering prayer, silence, sacrifice, and love in response to the offences, indifference, and forgetfulness shown toward God. In contemplating the Holy Face, we learn to remain with Christ in His suffering and to console Him through fidelity and prayer.
These devotions guide the way we pray for the Holy Souls—those who are being purified through suffering, yet sustained by love. As Our Lady accompanied Christ in His Passion, so she continues to accompany souls in their purification, while reparation offered to the Holy Face implores mercy and hastens their passage unto their eternal glory, where they shall behold the Holy Face of the Lord face to face.
Under Mary’s sorrowful mantle and before the wounded Face of Christ, we entrust the dead, the forgotten, and the suffering to the mercy of God, trusting that every sorrow and every act of reparation offered in Christ bears eternal fruit.
About the Steward
Linda Grace is the heart and steward behind the Holy Souls Society.
Long before she became a Christian—let alone a Catholic—the Lord placed within her a deep love for history, sacred tradition, and what is often forgotten with time. Even as a young child, she was drawn to walk through cemeteries with her mother, a quiet reverence that endured into adulthood, later finding its true meaning through the Catholic faith.
A Catholic convert, her journey led from the New Age and the occult, through Protestantism, and ultimately home to the Catholic Church through the gentle and loving intercession of the Blessed Mother Mary.
Throughout her life, her work has quietly unfolded at the threshold between life and death. From serving the elderly in aged care, to working in histology within a large hospital mortuary, to a brief season of service within a non-profit supporting families through pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death, her path has been marked by proximity to grief, reverence for the body, and a deep respect for the dignity of every human life—even before she knew Christ.
This nearness to sorrow has not been only professional, but personal. Through her own experiences of multiple pregnancy losses, as well as the death of loved ones within her family and close friends, she has come to know intimately the hidden griefs that so often go unspoken, yet remain deeply present before God.
Now, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, she stands spiritually in prayer for those who can no longer pray for themselves. With a contemplative heart shaped by the cloistered spirit of Carmel, the Holy Souls Society was born to restore prayer for the dead, revive forgotten works of mercy, and entrust every soul to the infinite mercy of God and the promise of eternal rest.
