I saw a ghost of a young man at a Jesuit Retreat House...Manresa in Pickering Ontario. I was the last person to leave that Retreat center on a Sunday after a weekend retreat. I decided to visit the bookstore at the Retreat House after everyone else had left. I noticed a man behind the money till and his back was facing me. After about 5 minutes, I noticed he hadn't moved a muscle. I got a shiver down my spine. So I picked out the book I wanted, approached him and asked him if he was there to collect the money. He remained silent and still didn't move...like he didn't even know I was right next to him. At this time, I went to his side to see his face. I put the money in the till and walked out of the room...30 seconds later, I walked back into the room and he completely disappeared. But on the way out the second time, I picked up the Jesuit Quarterly magazine published by the Jesuits. When I got home, I told my wife what happened while looking over that magazine...then I saw that man's picture in the obituary section for deceased Jesuits. I was shocked, needless to say. Usually, Jesuit deceased are older men but the man I saw was very young, in his 30's. Apparently, he had died on the property at the Jesuit infirmary which is also located on that propertry. So I knew he was probably in Purgatory and wanted me to pray for him. This experience inspired me to pray St. Gertrude's prayer for souls in Purgatory on my Rosary...and I've maintained this practice over the past 20 years. So please pray for souls in Purgatory...they really need our prayers and will return the favor one day!!!

I pray the rosary for the holy souls in purgatory.

Eternal Father I offer you the most precious blood of your Divine son Jesus in union with the masses said throughout the world today for all the holy souls in purgatory , amen

Thank you Fr. My group has been praying for the Holy souls, and have been benefiting from them praying for us, Thank you for your teaching on this.

Holy Name of Jesus and Mary save souls. Amen.

Very important message, but too much noise in the background ( its hard to hear the words). Thanks for picking this topic.

Temporal punishment remains. Penance, penance

Once you are baptize in the Roman Catholic Faith , your original sin should be remove then , isn't it not ?

Did you know that the Catholic Church is the only Christian Church that teaches about going to purgatory ! While all other Christian Churches teach about going to Heaven ! ! Did you know that ! ! !
