Pray for the souls of the faithful Christians who are suffering in Purgatory
Spirituality
St. Francis Xavier, Jan. 1548: “When I was at Malacca I established the custom that at the beginning of night the souls in Purgatory, and the souls of the living who are in a state of worldly sin, should be recommended to the prayers of the pious in all the streets. This practice not only encouraged the good, but threw terror into the wicked. The city appointed a man for the purpose… with a lantern in one hand and a bell in the other, and calling out from time to time in a loud voice… ‘Pray for the souls of the faithful Christians who are suffering in Purgatory’; and then, ‘Pray also for those who, lying under the burden of mortal sin, take no pains to be delivered from it.’”
Doctrine
Pope Pius XII (1943), June 29, 1943: “But let this be a general and unshaken truth, if they do not wish to wander from sound doctrine and the correct teaching of the Church: namely, every kind of mystic union, by which the faithful in Christ in any way pass beyond the order of created things and wrongly enter among the divine, so that even a single attribute of the eternal Godhead can be predicated of these as their own, is to be entirely rejected.” (Mystici Corporis Christi # 78)
