TradCatKnight: The Church Suffering
"It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,
that they may be loosed from sins."--2 Machabees 12:46
From a consideration of the sufferings of purgatory we should learn how great is the punishment for venial sin, and should strive to avoid it in future, and do penance now for the sins of the past. Since it is in our power to help the suffering souls, we should be zealous to do for them what we hope others will do for us when we are in need.
