November: The Month of the Holy Souls

The Holy Souls are those who died in God’s grace but still require a final purification to achieve the holiness needed for heaven. This purification is not a punishment but a cleansing process, and those in purgatory are “Holy” because they are on their way to heaven.
The Church teaches that it is a holy work to pray for the souls in purgatory, as they can no longer pray for themselves and are dependent on the prayers of the living.
Prayers, masses and good works offered for the dead are belived to help them in their purification.
