The souls in Purgatory are sometimes called “the forgotten souls”. In this meditation we pray about how we can help them and how they help us. We will consider:

• The Church’s teaching on Purgatory
• Why there is a Purgatory
• How Purgatory is a manifestation of God’s sanctity, justice and mercy
• The two principal pains of Purgatory
• The happiness of the souls in Purgatory
• Apparitions on earth of souls in Purgatory
• How we can help the holy souls
• How the holy souls can help us
• What we can do to avoid or at least shorten our Purgatory
