“The prayer of a pilgrim soul in the world can help another soul that continues purifying itself after death.”GOD have mercy on us. There are just so many lies the Devil has the world believing and this is perhaps one of the most damaging — that those who die in their sins still have a chance of making it into heaven…if those of us who are living pray for them hard enough. This is nonsense. Where in the Holy Bible do we find any such thing? When did Christ Jesus instruct HIS disciples to pray for the dead (and I’m not talking about praying GOD ALMIGHTY to restore life)?
Excerpt:
On Sunday, November 2, the Pope devoted his audience to the traditional observance of the feast of All Souls, saying that it is important for Christians to face the reality of death, and of our relationship with the dead, and to avoid “being confused with mythologies of various kinds.” [The irony is just too much] Citing St. Augustine, the Pontiff said that all mankind is searching for complete happiness, without knowing exactly what it is like. “It is a universal hope, shared by people of all times and places,” he said. “The expression ‘eternal life’ is an attempt to give a name to this unquenchable hope: not an endless succession, but an immersion in the ocean of infinite love, where time, before and after, exist no more.”
Our “unquenchable hope,” the Pope continued, is founded on Christ, and comes through union with Him. Christians seek that union during this life, and if they are only partially successful, they may complete the search in purgatory. Because our hope is the same, we share their quest and can help them toward their goal. Pope Benedict said: “The prayer of a pilgrim soul in the world can help another soul that continues purifying itself after death. This is why today the Church invites us to pray for our deceased loved ones and to spend time at their tombs in cemeteries.” (Source)









Wow — Church Leaders Alter Christmas Carols To Be Inclusive, PC — Huh?!
It’s called Christmas — it’s about our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ of Nazareth. These classic carols and hymns were written to exalt HIS holy name — not to please the masses. Christmas is about acknowledging Christ Jesus’ incarnation in this world — not about us. If you cut out all references to Jesus in these songs… then what in the world are we singing about, and to whom? We must be the silliest lot the LORD has ever seen. Pathetic. Imagine that — so-called “Christians” choose to please the world instead of pleasing THE CREATOR.
