Listen "Remember the Souls in Purgatory"
Episode Synopsis
n this moving homily for the month of November, Fr. Miguel shares a powerful story from the life of St. Padre Pio—his late-night encounter with a soul from purgatory begging for prayers. Through this story and the teachings of the saints, Fr. Miguel reminds us of the Church’s enduring call to pray for the dead.Purgatory, he explains, is not a “second chance,” but the merciful justice of God—a place of purification for those assured of heaven yet still in need of healing and atonement. Drawing on the wisdom of Bishop Sheen, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina, this homily invites us to acts of mercy that reach beyond the grave.As Fr. Miguel says, “It is in our power to bring relief to the souls in purgatory.”
