On All Souls Day, we not only remember the dead by praying for them, but also, by almsgiving, and offer Mass for their release from Purgatory. While the actions are performed by the living, the merits of the indulgences are applicable only to the souls in Purgatory. Since a plenary indulgence removes all of the temporal punishment for sin, which is the reason why souls are in Purgatory in the first place, applying a Plenary Indulgence to one of the Holy Souls in Purgatory means that that Holy Soul is released from Purgatory and enters Heaven.
Praying for the dead is one of the Spiritual Works of Mercy and a Christian obligation and, the need for such prayers is certainly. The Church devotes the month of November to prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
The eternal punishment due to mortal sin means that the sinner removes sanct-ifying grace from his soul and is de-barred from heaven. Through true re-pentance, a firm resolution of amend-ment, and Confession, sins are forgiven, and the eternal punishment removed.
But there remains a temporal punishment due to sin, which must be expiated here in this life, or in the next. Any breaking of God’s law brings a temporal upset and spiritual disorder. “The disorder of guilt is not brought back to the order of justice except by punishment.” (Saint Thomas Aquinas)
“Man is forced to suffer even after his sin has been forgiven.” (Saint Augustine) Even after Confession, the penance assigned, no matter what prayer or prayers, is insufficient to efface the temporal punishment due to sin, and to restore the “order of justice.”
However, through the ages, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the saints and martyrs, lived a life of selflessness. Their good works and love of God were immeasurable. Therefore, into a great spiritual reservoir, or treasury, is always poured the super-abundant merits of these sanctified souls which, added to the infinite redemptive merits of Christ, may be poured out upon needy souls.
Now our Lord said: “Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.” Therefore, the power of lessening or remitting temporal punishment was given to the Church, and has always been exercised by the granting of Indulgences.
The word INDULGENCE means to grant a grace or favor, a relaxation in favor of a person. Hence, an INDULGENCE as granted by the Church is the remission in whole, or in part, of the temporal punishment due to sin (through the infinite merits of Christ and His saints).
For temporal punishment bars man from heaven, so long as it is unatoned. Suffering must be undergone to restore “the order of justice” — the temporal debt; or, it may be expiated here, for us, or for the souls in Purgatory, by INDULGENCES. If only a part of this temporal punishment is removed, it is called a PARTIAL INDULGENCE. If a PLENARY INDULGENCE is granted, this means the remission of all temporal punishment due to sin.
We here in this life, the Church Militant, are permitted to help with INDULGENCES those who are needy, and those we love in Purgatory. Thus, for example, instead of applying INDULGENCES to ourselves, we may give them, if we wish, to the holy souls in Purgatory.

Confessions: Priority should be given especially the last thirty minutes of confessions to those who drive a great distance, have little children, elderly and or are disabled.

Our church is dedicated to the practice of the traditional Roman Catholic religion. This includes the traditional Latin Roman Rite of Holy Mass and the sacraments. We do not regard the New Mass created after Vatican Council II to be a true Catholic Mass. Only those who regularly attend exclusively the traditional Latin Rite of Mass, who are properly dressed (see below), and are in the state of Sanctifying Grace may receive.
Please read "Word of Introduction" on the Home page.
Some notes for The Guidance of Parents
by Father Daniel Lord S.J. (1944)
These children will run a mile from any attempt their parents may make to establish camaraderie. If the parents try to give them intimate, personal information, they will blush, grow painfully confused, and o the slightest pretext or opportunity take to cover. I sincerely doubt that parent can take adolescent children and then for the first time make pals of them or sit them down for serious conversation and interchange of confidences or information. That should have been done years before. The boy or the girl beyond grammar school is too self-conscious or too self-assured, too timid or too brash to be otherwise than startled, resentful,by Father Daniel Lord S.J. (1944)
suspicious, or indignant at the intrusion if suddenly after years of silence and parental neglect he sees his mother and father abruptly bearing down upon him with proffers of friendship or the unwanted and un wonted gifts of good advice.
Yet discouraging as the prospect is, parents who have neglected to establish that relationship would be made aware of their failures and shown that with real tact and a deep study of their children they can still do more for hem than can anyone else in the world. A slow, tender, patient siege of an adolescent’s heart will bring ultimate surrender. For while children, whatever their age and however they have been weaned away from their parents, can, if the parents really want to gain a entrance into their lives, be won over with kindness, interest, justice and sympathy.
Part in Social Life
you see, one of the barriers between parents and children who until the chil-dren’s adolescence have not discovered each other or built up confidence and comradeship is that the children are likely to regard their parents as absurdly old. Anyone under twenty years of age, is sure to regard anyone over forty as slightly ridiculous. So if parents and children have never played together, the youngsters probably look upon their oldsters as ancients tottering rapidly toward the ceme-tery. Naturally it is difficult to establish an easy relationship with a person who, to our way of looking at it, is separated from us by a long bridge of painful years. Hence as the first approach of a parent to his adolescent child we offer the suggestion of almost any form of social life.
Parents’ Rights and Duties
Perhaps at this point we should insert a section to remind parents that they have rights and that they have duties.
Within this natural, God-ordained society which is the family there is that authority which is essential for right government, unity, and proper social functioning. That authority rest first with the father, who is the head of the family. It is shared by the mother, who is the co-creator of the children and mistress of the home. Together the father and the mother make the council of state for the family; and no matter how democratic the country’s mode of thought may be come, the parents hold that authority over their children, with their consequent obligation to us it wisely, justly, and well. A bad parent will be punished by God . . . and probably, if he is caught, by the state. Every so often the newspapers pay up the case of some utterly unnatural parent who chains a child to a bed or locks him permanently in a dark closet or starves and beats him for the cruel satisfaction he himself derives thereby. Parents who are like that, unnatural and inhuman and lower than the mother cat or the causal rooster, will one day face an angry Father in heaven, whose judgment of them will be terrifically sever.
That is the negative side of parent conduct.
The bad parent will undoubtedly be punished by God, as all bad people are punished. The eternal joy eventually allotted to parents will be measured on the simple terms of how well they exercised their duties toward their children.
Children may fail, may become criminal failures despite the best efforts of parents. But if the parents have through neglect or too much love or sheer laziness failed to give their children the things that make for full character development and a sane successful maturity, God will regard them as real delinquents. Parents are professional people of the highest order. God and their fellow men judge professional people, not on the basis of what crimes they may not have committed, but by the standard of how well they have carried out the duties of their profession. No parent can escape the obligations of his God-given authority. Parents duties toward their children cannot be tossed into the lap of anyone else.
