I don’t know where else to write this in so, i hope i’m not making a mistake.
I’ve tried praying for the souls in Purgatory, but every time i try i get so scare. I know a lady who’s in charge of praying novenas for the people that die in our town and one time she told my mom and i that the souls don’t let her sleep. They hit her every time she stops praying so she has to wake up and continue praying for them so they leave her alone. I get scare because i think it might happen to me too if i start to pray for them. Has this ever happened to any of you guys?
DaughterofaKING - God bless you for your honesty.
I am not too sure if I can help you or not or explain myself.
However, I do believe that we are Praying for one another and the Holy, Poor, Forgotten Souls in Purgatory are Praying for us too.
The only goal and the only way that a Holy Soul in Purgatory is destined for is Heaven but it is up to me and you to Pray them out of Purgatory and into the gates of Heaven. :heaven:
I could be Praying my Uncle out of Purgatory, you could Pray a Confederate or Union Soldier out of Purgatory, together we could be Praying a multitude of Priests out of Purgatory.
Therefore, we don’t know exactly who we are Praying out of Purgatory to reach those Heavenly gates
So fear not and just simply Pray for them – so many of the poor souls are forgotten.
