How can we as the church militant help those in purgatory as well as ourselves from going there after our death? I just got finished reading the book by the title of "How to avoid purgatory"by Fr.Paul Sullivan that is online. Can anyone help me to understand how we can help ourselves as well as others how do we do this and avoid purgatory?
 
One way you could help those in purgatory is by giving them your indulgences that you earn.
 
You can pray and offer your prayers for the souls in Purgatory.
 
Still confused about what indulgences are. Is that the same thing as the scorging of our Lord before his crucifixion?

No, Our Lord didn’t need indulgences.

Indulgences remove the temporal punishment for sin, which means they can make a soul’s purgatory easier or help a soul get out of purgatory faster if God wills. Indulgences are granted by the Church through its binding and loosing power.

We just had a thread on this and I posted all my references there, so since you’ve already read the Fr. O’Sullivan book (which was one reference I posted), you should read the discussion of St. Therese’s teachings.
Then if you want to get indulgences for the Poor Souls you can use the Manual that I posted.

Indulgences? How its earned or given? Traditional Catholicism
I have a question about indulgence. I know that by confession we are escaping hell,but we still need to be in purgatory before going to heaven. How can we escape purgatory and earn indulgence?Is it by any prayer?Through rosary? Example:If we were living in sin for a decade and we were just Catholic on paper,not practical or True one.We didnt know God at all and his Love and mercy,but after it we start to live Holy life(Not without sin,but trying to be Holy),should we escape purgatory or not?S…

You can also offer your prayers, your Masses, your communions, your Adoration time, and any sacrifices you make or hardships you endure in the course of a day, all to help the Poor Souls in Purgatory.
Some people even join Purgatorial Societies where you pray for poor souls every day or have a Mass said for them regularly.
