Start Helping The Poor Souls Now
Few prepare a plan BEFORE they die to receive Masses and Blessings AFTER they die.
- Ron Gurba Jr
They say a person died too young. No, they died right on time. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
You need a game plan when it comes to Purgatory.
Before you die we help getting you to pray for the Poor Souls, so our prayers help you when you die. Your new evangelization for the Poor Souls with your family, friends and enemies will get them started praying for the Poor Souls for them to know what to do after you die.
Resources are here to help you deal with those whose lives you were honored to be a part of but we’re called to leave this side of the veil. You will also think twice about keeping, or making, enemies. Let’s move your heart away from enemies and get you closer to thinking about God more. No enemy is worth you spending one extra second in Purgatory!

Welcome to the Confessional
One of the most important numbers is 9+, which is the number of priests who said they use the Poor Souls prayer cards as Penance in the Confessional.
Part of your Penance given to complete the Absolution of your sins could be to pray using our simple prayer card. What an honor to help after Confessing our sins as you also pray for the Poor Souls.
Who could have ever guessed that printing a few cards would lead to being an integral part of Absolution to those in need?
Every day is a blessing.

When You Need To Talk About Their Life
“Talking is not easy to start, but after a few minutes of listening to humor they shared with me, I was more at ease to say a few things, then more and more until forgotten details made me happy again, if only for a short while.”
Let's Pray Together
“I haven’t prayed with someone since the funeral because everyone has moved on, so why am I in such sorrow? I cried, but my tears had more joy than pain. We discussed my prayer life plan to let in more joy.”
We Love Listening
“They got me started talking right away. I was expecting a conversation over coffee, but they were anxious to listen to me. Do you know how people don’t understand where you are? He did. He led me more than I led him. I needed that refreshing talk.”
Sharing Memories
“Vacations, tender moments, graduation, family tragedies and more were part of ‘us.’ It felt good reminding myself that a day of death paled in comparison to dozens of years of life and marriage. I shared the journey and left the destination that we all face to another conversation.”
Catholic Priest Testimonials
What does the Catholic Church say about purgatory?
Is purgatory in the Catholic Bible?
Purgatory is the place where souls are purified before they enter heaven after death. The word “purgatorio” in Spanish means “place of cleansing.” The Scriptures 2 Maccabees 12:41–46, 2 Timothy 1:18, Matthew 12:32, Luke 16:19–16:26, Luke 23:43, 1 Corinthians 3:11–3:15 and Hebrews 12:29 support, along with God’s Mercy, Purgatory. Only after death will the Faithful see how much Mercy God has given souls.
What happens when you go to Purgatory?
Purgatory is a place that people go to before they are able to enter Heaven. The main goal of Purgatory is to provide relief from the soul’s attachment to sin and allow it to become purified of any sin for it to enter heaven. Many people who die with any sin, but no mortal sins, on their soul, will go to Purgatory. Purgatory gives these souls a chance at forgiveness. If there wasn’t Purgatory, there would be fewer souls in Heaven because not many died in a pure state of Grace, more souls would be lost to Hell.
Is suffering a result of sin?
Many see suffering as a result of sin, others learn from the damages the soul experiences from sin, and yet others are called to suffering to help comfort God for those who do sin. Suffering can lead to life lessons or spiritual growth. For example, people who experience hard times may also have the opportunity to grow spiritually through those experiences. Additionally, suffering can make people more compassionate and forgiving towards themselves and others. Suffering is not always a result of sin because some suffer from illness or accident.
