TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7: Blake Blair, Eden Caine, Too many people believe when a loved Sheila Dao dies the soul automatically goes to heaven. Well, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12: Tien Dao, Skye Denson, maybe yes, and maybe no. But we do not know the Avea Durbin state of a person’s soul when he or she dies, only God knows. No matter what we think or want, we are not “the TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14: Honesty Hillman, Judge,” only God is. James Johnson, Kyler Long When a person dies in state of grace but the soul is not completely prepared to enter heaven, then he or she is placed in Purgatory for purification. (God forbid that a person should die outside of the state of grace, that is, with unconfessed, unrepented mortal sin on their soul.) So, what we should be doing for the deceased is praying that our hope of salvation and eternal life with the Lord will be realized in them. Hence, each and every day, we ought to pray for and offer our sufferings for the Election Day: Please remember to vote on repose of all souls. Tuesday, November 7 from 6:30am-7:30pm.
