A few years ago, had our hot water pipe rerouted through the attic by a father & son plumbers. A year later, I called these plumber's services again, but only the father came. The father informed me his son had passed away suddenly of a heart attack 9 months ago. Shortly after his visit, we started hearing extremely loud pounds over our bathroom ceiling everyday around 5am for 3 days in a roll. I then told my husband that those pounds came from where the son had repiped and that he was seeking prayers. That morning we stiphened & offered a Mass for the son and the pounding stopped, never heard not one little sound from ceiling again. Also, the plumbers were of protestant decent. Purgatory is not reserved only for Catholics. Thank you father for sharing & God bless.

Thank you Father. I have problems sleeping so practically all night I pray for the souls in Purgatory. I must have hundreds of friends!

From Ireland. My Farther told me when I was about 10 about how his Mother built a new house, they moved in. After praying the Rosary while they were in bed they heard chairs being pulled out from the table, after some time chairs being pushed back. This went on for a week or so. Mother got Priest to come and offer Mass. He said "The souls are settled now, they were looking for prayers".
I'm 78 now. I have a great fondness for the Holy Souls. 🙏☘️

Wonderful sermon Father. "Help those poor souls who are not at rest by praying for them. They need our help !

[marilynbrown]

Also, remember to PRAY for the FORGOTTEN SOULS..with no one to pray for them.

[josdelijster]

For all souls in purgatory, specially those with no one to pray for them. Lord have Mercy 🙏🙏

Thank you, Father Terrance, for another beautiful and enlightening homily. It gave light to the darkness that seems to be oppressing me at the present time. You are in my prayers. Kindly include me and my intentions in your prayers. Thank you and stay blessed.
Lord God in Heaven, grant eternal rest unto the souls of all the faithful departed, both remembered and forgotten. And let Your Perpetual Light shine upon them. May they rest in eternal joy and peace. Amen.
Blessed are the Names of Jesus and Mary.
Praise and thanks be to the Most Holy Triune God.
AMEN.
