St. Faustina was told in her diary that her prayer could save souls. How? Isn’t the decision to accept God up to each individual? Wouldn’t prayer infringe on someone else’s free will? Doesn’t God love us enough to save us without the need for a prayer if we show the slightest hint of wanting to be saved (purgatory)? Where is the justice in letting prayer save one person while another is punished?
 
Is how the real question? We are asked to do it - to pray for one another. Therefore the better question might be how can we pray more.
 
Prayer may save souls through helping people out of purgatory. Through prayer changing people’s lives, many could become examples to others and lead to the conversion of souls. We can also pray that God’s grace come down upon someone and this could help them. In the end, yes, every soul chooses their own way. However, these souls can be influenced and prayer is a definite way in which this could occur. Besides, prayer most importantly saves our own soul.
 
Prayer is absolutely necessary for salvation. Without prayer, perservance in God’s grace of life is not possible. Yet we do know of people who do not pray or pray very little. They are passing up grace. This is a downward spiritual spiral that is only stoped by someone asking for grace for them to open their eyes.

Many people have experienced a sudden rush of grace which did open their eyes and
changed their lives forever. That is one reason for the church, to help one another.
 
Our Lady at Fatima told the 3 children that many people go to hell because there is no one to pray for them and we should pray much for sinners.

“Pray, pray very much and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because they have no one to make sacrifices and pray for them.”
