Wow…just…wow…“When you pray for the souls in purgatory God will be so pleased with your unselfish prayers for those you don’t even know, that he will grant you your dearest wish, without even asking and sometimes maybe without you even knowing what your dearest wish is.
God’s grace is so fragile, it takes one mortal sin to break it.( P.S. Very alarming, was the statement from Sr. Lucia, that even one missed Sunday mass meant going to hell for eternity. If this is so, myself and hundreds of Catholics, most of them extremely good and faithful people, are completely doomed. I would like some feedback on this please. I’m devastated by this statement.)
If you like those testimonies, then click on the links in my signature in this post, they have countless more testimonies just like itI have been captivated by this site for 2 days. Is it that we are such a generation of “entitlement” that we automatically assume we all go to heaven immediately? And is that why no one speaks of purgatory? Even at funerals, the priests talk of the deceased now “being at perfect peace”, “having no more suffering”, “enjoying the glories of heaven” etc.?
After recently reading the part of “Our Lady of Fatima”, where she said the young child was in purgatory, did I get a jolt that made me pray earnestly for my dearest sister who had passed away the year before. I just assumed that my long deceased parents went straight to heaven in a rocketship - so I never thought to pray for them, (till now). I also began to pray, every day, for all the souls of these faithful departed, before beginning to read the Obituary pages of our newspaper.
But what really surprised and captured me was the incredible work the poor souls can do for us. I never knew that! And now I have a brand new way to pray!! Thank you SO much!!
