WDTPRS >> Praying for the dead

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf catechizes all of us when he reminds us that funerals involve praying for the dead. Please read his post today. It clears up many misconceptions that have crept into our consciousness.

Also, Fisheaters has a list of prayers that are appropriate. The days when priests would say as many Masses as possible on All Souls Day are long gone. I recall when all three altars--yes, we had three--were being used to say Mass for the souls in Purgatory.
