This is how Catholics show their love for the dead. Some argue, why do we pray for the dead? But Maccabees have given us the insight. The Bible says. “For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen will rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore, he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.” It’s the resurrection. So, if we believe in the resurrection, we must pray for the dead, and we pray for the dead so that their sins will be forgiven. That’s why we have Masses for them, and we’re encouraged to pray for our dead ones. They need our prayers so that they will be released from their sins.

What It Means To Be A Christian
This is the key to leveling up your life. What does Christian mean? Follower of Christ.
