Oh i am sure you do pray it and that you do pray , the problem is WHO YOU ARE PRAYING TOO .
Start praying ONLY TO GOD , in the glorious and wonderous name OF JESUS CHRIST .
AND since we are on the this topic .
YOu can no more pray a soul out of damantion
than you could pray a soul into hell fire .
ONCE THEY are gone , ITS TOO LATE . THEY will face
whatever judgement they reaped upon themselves on the day of the LORD
SO here is an idea , though pope francis wont agree ,
GET THE GOSPEL OUT TO THE LIVING . PRAY for the LIVING .
PRAY for the living while there is still time to do so
AND GET OUT AND PROLEYSTIZE the gospel .
OH wait , POPE francis said christains like me are dangerous
and are not even real christains
cause we prolesitze the gospel . HE IS THE FALSE ONE
JESUS TOLD US TO WITNESS THE GOSPLE TO ALL . FRANCIS
and his cronies say othewise . YEAH HEED NOT A WORD THEY SAY .
PS , they aint alone , many a sold out protestant church
like emergents and so forth are saying the same line .
THEY ALL SOLD OUT . AND I aint buying their lies .
this prayer is addressed to the eternal father?
not praying out of damnation
all those in purgatory are Christians on there way to heaven truly saved but being purified
Indulgences
1st of all these are based on misunderstandings and accusations
Salvation has nothing to do with indulgences nor the forgiveness of sin!
Salvation is God’s mercy to us thru His church by grace!
An indulgence is a merit of Jesus Christ thru his blood passion and death! Jn 1:16 & 1:29
Cannot sell indulgences
There were indulgences granted to those who supported the building of saint peters, not selling, (donations) but if you chose to make a donation you could get an indulgence, but there were and are many other ways to get them without making a donation! Not a requirement
You did something and got a favorable response, like buying a dozen dognuts and get one free, they may accuse you cannot selling 13 but you actually only sold 12 and gave one free.
Salvation is of grace with mercy and the forgiveness of sins, but the temporal punishment due to sin Christ did not take away, just like he did not take away our sin nature and restore up to the state of innocence in the garden.
Example: a child breaks a window with his baseball, his father forgives him totally, but the child work and earn money to pay for the window, and we must pray, fast, alms, penance, carry our cross and practice Christian virtues to expiate the temporal punishment due to our sins, God provides for everything in His goodness and gives us ample means to do this, and it purifies our souls in this life or if not he also provides a means of purification in the next.
And we can pray for and do penance and gain indulgences for those being purified since they are in the communion of saints like us and those already perfected in heaven!
