ARE WE IGNORING THE SILENT PLEAS OF OUR LOVED ONES AND CRYING SOULS IN PURGATORY

Purgatory is often misunderstood, especially among those who believe in a dichotomy of Heaven and Hell. Contrary to the notion of endless torment, Purgatory represents a state of purification for those who have died in God's grace but still need to be cleansed of residual sin before entering Heaven. This purification by fire is distinct from the eternal fire of Hell, as it is a cleansing fire born of God's love rather than a punishing fire stemming from evil.
The Church teaches that Purgatory is essential because it provides a final purification for souls, ensuring that they are wholly sanctified before entering eternal glory.
Praying for the souls in Purgatory is a profound act of love and responsibility. These souls, still on their journey to Heaven, rely on our intercessions to hasten their purification. By praying for them, we express our unity as the Body of Christ and our belief in the power of God's purifying love. It is a reminder that our spiritual journey continues after death and that our love and prayers can aid those we care about in their final steps toward eternal peace.
