The souls in Purgatory
No-one wants to be forgotten. We dread the thought that we will ever slip out of the minds and hearts of those whom we love. This is particularly true when we face painful challenges and difficulties. We hope that friends and family will gather round and lift our spirits. This is what we do when we pray for the dead. In their moment of purification, we gather round our loved ones to support them. Our prayers show them they are not forgotten. Today let us remember in prayer our deceased loved ones in their time of need.
