“If it were but known how great is the power of the good
souls in Purgatory with the Heart of God, and if we knew all the graces we can
obtain through their intercession, they would not be so much forgotten. We
must, therefore, pray much for them, that they may pray much for us.” – Saint John Vianney.
We are all given equal opportunity in
this world to speak good and also to do good but the truth is because of our
selfish nature we have missed most of the opportunities given to us. We also
have to been given the equal opportunities to conduct our life well but because
of not thinking of the final goal that is heaven most of us have failed to do
well.
We all because of failing to live well
in midst of perverse and corrupt world we have to pass through the fire to make
it to heaven one day. We all have to understand that we are given chance to
repent for our sins when we are living on this earth, if we do not take it
seriously then we may live a life full of errors.
When we live a life full of errors then
surely on the judgement day we may face judgement either hell or purgatory. If
we make it to hell then we will be burning in the fire eternally. If we make it
to purgatory then we will have hope that one day we will make it to heaven.
Souls in purgatory are called holy
souls because they lived a life pleasing to God and most importantly they died
in the state of Grace. If a soul dies in a state of grace then surely for all
the small sins the soul have be purified in the fire of purgatory before they
get to heaven, because no soul with even the smallest stain of sin will be
allowed to enter heaven.
When a soul enters the purification
process in purgatory they cannot pray for themselves so that they go to heaven
as fast as they can but these holy souls are dependent on heaven and also on
our prayers.
In today’s world most of the people live
in this world like they are in purgatory, that’s why they do not pray and are
dependent on others prayer and when this attitude continues then how we can expect
someone to leave all his personal problems and at least pray for 10 minutes every
day the prayer for the souls in purgatory so that they may go to heaven and in
return pray for us and also welcome us when we go to heaven.
As we are celebrate all souls day
today, let us make a commitment to pray for all the holy souls in purgatory so
that we may get their help of prayer once they reach heaven when we need the
most.
Let us everyday pray the prayer given
to saint Gertrude by Jesus in the 13th century which will empty 1000
souls each time we recite in the state of Grace.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious
Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the
world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for
sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen.
