Praying for the Souls in Purgatory

Praying for the Souls in Purgatory

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA November 6, 2025 Duration: 35:29
In this episode of Fatima Today, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the Church’s teaching about Purgatory—its roots in Scripture and its affirmation by the Councils of Florence (1439) and Trent (1563). They discuss how praying for the souls in Purgatory is a profound act of mercy, what brings them the greatest help, how they in turn intercede for us, and the role of indulgences in aiding their purification. As November invites us to remember the faithful departed, this conversation renews our hope in God’s mercy and the communion of saints.

In a world that often feels fragmented, Fatima Today offers a space for reflection and connection, rooted in a century-old message of peace. This podcast, presented by the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA, explores how the spiritual lessons from Fatima remain urgently relevant to our modern challenges. Each episode delves into contemporary issues-from personal anxiety and family life to broader social concerns-seeking pathways forward illuminated by faith, hope, and conversion. You’ll hear thoughtful discussions and insights that bridge timeless devotion with the realities of daily living, fostering a deeper understanding of Christian spirituality. Rather than offering simple answers, the conversations invite listeners into a meaningful examination of how to live with purpose and compassion today. Tune in to this thoughtful podcast for a series that feels both a comfort and a call to action, encouraging personal and communal renewal through the enduring promise of Fatima.
