too late to pray for him, you don’t pray for the dead, try the living, the ones we can still help.

Perhaps YOU don’t pray for the dead, but I do, for the repose of his soul in the Loving Arms of Almighty God.

Among Catholics and Eastern Othodox Christians, it is done, praying for BOTH the living and the dead.

I do pray for the dead, for their eternal salvation — our prayers help. For the living, we need to do more than pray, get up and DO.

When a person dies, only the body dies. The soul still lives.....think like God thinks, please.

Prayers are always appropriate for the dead. Especially if that person is waiting in Purgatory to purge the damage he was not sorry for and forgiven for on earth.

ALWAYS pray for those who have passed on.
