Prayers for the forgotten souls in purgatory

Hell is a choice for those who reject Jesus Christ, those who live in unrepentant mortal sin. The truth is that God has given us the freedom to choose where we would like to go, and based on our choice, He makes His judgement. Most people think that it is God who decides if we go to heaven, to purgatory, or to hell. Most people go to hell, very few go to heaven directly, while others are detained in purgatory, to make atonement and attain purification, before entering heaven. An eternity of suffering in hell, or a suffering until all our sins are expiated in purgatory. However, for most people, death is the beginning of suffering. Most people think that death is the end of suffering.

It helped them to be ever ready and be prepared to enter eternity. The saints, on the other hand, lived their lives as if they were already dead. Others find the topic very disturbing and do not want to deal with whatever lies beyond this life. Some do not want to be concerned about what lies beyond this life, with the concept, that they will cross the bridge when they get there. When it comes to life after death, most of us are uncertain and have a vague understanding. The church also remembers and fervently prays for the souls of the deceased, especially, during the month of November. The church greatly emphasizes on life after death because, death as we know, is not the end, but the beginning of our eternal life. This year, we specially remember and pray for all the souls who have died during this pandemic.

The Vatican has decided to grant a plenary indulgence to Catholics who visit a cemetery to pray for the dead on any day in the month of November 2021. During these 8 days, one can gain a plenary indulgence, each day, for the souls in purgatory. The Octave of all Saints is celebrated from 1 st November to 8 th November. November is the month for the remembrance of the souls of the deceased.
