“DEVOTION to the souls in Purgatory detaches us from the vain and passing things of the earth. It establishes a contact between us and our dear ones, which does not allow their memory to sleep with their dust. Not knowing whether they may not need our prayers to release them from their prison of sorrow, we multiply for them our prayers, our sacrifices, our good works. And, of all that, nothing is lost, for if they for whom we supplicate are happily in no need of such attention, God will mercifully apply to other souls the satisfactions we offer. There are multitudes of forgotten souls whose names are never uttered in prayer to God.”
