One of the quickest way to release souls from purgatory is through having Masses said for them. I also do Eucharistic Adoration every Wednesday, and I will pray for him then, also, which is a great way to pray for the poor souls.

I’m sorry to hear this. Death of such a great man who meant so much to you will be hard. Sounds like a great role model for his grandchildren and their children. A big loss. Jesus already greeted him with a welcome Home hug. As is written, absent from the body, present with The Lord.
I never knew my grandfathers. Count yourself blessed. I grieve with you, FRiend.

Prayer for your great grandfather made, EC.
My condolences to you and your family on the death of your Grandfather. I will pray for his soul and for the healing of those he left behind. Be assured that the love he received in this life will accompany him on his journey in the afterlife. When you are emotionally able to do so, talk to him as if he were alive and express that love you felt for him. They hear us. God bless.
Prayers for your grandfather and for you as you grieve.
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayers for your grandfather and for you as you grieve.

#3 No one gaining an indulgence may apply it to other living persons.
#4 Both partial and plenary indulgences can >always be applied to the dead as suffrages.
_______________________
Me: I heard a Bishop say the Church gives out all these indulgences because God wants to make it easy to get into Heaven.
+Indulgences depend on the Heart; God makes both available.
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and may perpetual Light shine upon him.
Prayers up for you and your family.
I will pray a Chaplet of Devine Mercy for him tonight.

Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (1541). Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death (687). When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior (1541). Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this Chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy (687). I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy (687). Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will. (1731)
Prayers up.
