We have to get on top of the culture of death; contraception, abortion, sterilization and euthanasia. This is a spiritual battle. Pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and then ask their intercession to bring an end to the culture of death. You won’t wake up the next morning and see the culture of death ended. There will be a gradual process until things are greatly improved.
Help the Holy Souls in Purgatory and gain their help as well in fighting the culture of death.

Hello and hope all is well with you. If you do not mind answering a question for me. Being a convert I was taught we are to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory which I do. (Of course I do more so now because of you:>)
Where did we get they pray for us? I realized after reading this I never was taught where this came from. I have been told “they do,” but where did this originate from. Thanks so much for your help on this.
Also I need your prayers in the worst way. I am going through something very painful right now and do not care to post it all over the “blog sphere.” My soul is in so much darkness right now I cannot take a breath. The other day I literally had to lay my head on the Crucifix in my home to breathe. It is awful and I will say this, it is regarding deception and lies. I am very hurt. I know you will pray for me so I will thank you now. I am trying to be very still and wait upon God before I make a move on this, which is very hard to suffer all I am going through in silence. My flesh truly wants “revenge.” Don’t worry I am not going there, it is just really hard.
God Bless, Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Regarding the Holy Souls in Purgatory praying for us; it is based on some theological reasons along the lines of the church is divided into three sections: The church Triumph (those in heaven), the church suffering (those in Purgatory) and the Church militant, (those on earth) and that all members of the church in each of these three sections are part of the same family. Families members help each other.
In addition the souls in Purgatory are in a state of grace and are confirmed in charity and they wish to return our charity to them and because they are in a state of grace (God allows them to do this).
Those who are in heaven don’t need our prayers, but pray for us. We can also ask them to pray for the suffering souls. Saints especially the mystic types e.g. St John Vianney and St Theresa of Avila, assure us that the souls in Purgatory can pray for us and obtain favours for us. Lots of people have had proof of this in getting their prayers answered through their intercession.
Regarding your trial: I will pray for you. It is an ordeal to be the victim of lies and deception. The devil uses those tools to get at people who are trying to live good lives. He does not bother so much with those living in mortal sin. They are his property already, at least as long as they don’t repent.
Offer up all the suffering of this trial for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for an end to the culture of death, for the conversion of sinners, for the perseverance of the just, for all your intentions and for all the intentions that others have recommended to you.
Frequently ask the Merciful Jesus to pour out His Precious Blood and Water and His very best gifts of grace, health, healing and miracles upon every person in the world, especially your enemies, and those who have done wrong to you.
I pray that Jesus will give you relief from this trial.

Thank you so much for your info on the “Holy Souls in Purgatory” You know my life in that aspect as truly changed since reading your blog and information on them. For some reason it feels like they are “around” me for lack of a better term, maybe it is their prayers which are.
Thank you so much for the spiritual advice regarding my own trials and sufferings at this time. Will do as you say.
Sometimes I do not know what I would do without you, your prayers, and spiritual knowledge. I thank our Lord so much for giving such a wonderful soul to you. In doing so He has given to you such a wonderful insight to the sufferings of others even though you have had so much yourself. Most of all I thank Him so much for bringing me to your blog to see what I beautiful Catholic sister I have.
God Bless you. Love, Sandy
