Theme: 5 Reasons to Pray for the Souls in Purgatory

“Purgatory shows God’s great mercy and washes away the defects of those who long to become one with Him.” – St. Josemaria Escriva

Reflections taken from an article, “The Forgotten Church: 5 Reasons to Pray for the Souls in Purgatory” written by Sam Guzman and published on the website The Catholic Gentleman on 3rd November 2014.

When is the last time you prayed for the Holy Souls?

It is the teaching of the Church that purgatory is real and that there are countless souls there in need of our prayers.

We are urged to pray for the Church and for the relief of our brothers and sisters in purgatory.

This week in RE pupils will be encouraged to fill in their own ‘November List’ for the school book of remembrance, remembering deceased members of their family and friends.
