catholic/ can you get someone out of purgatory(hell)? how?

Question

would a plenary indulgence be the way?

or a gregorian mass?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking.

You can have a Holy mass said for them. The priest will mention their name and have mass said. You can offer your Holy Communion for them. You still partake of it, but offer it up spiritually to them.

You can do many good deeds for the souls in purgatory, go to church more often, have prayers said, but having Holy mass said for them is very essential and the more the better.
Yes, purgatory does exist and everyone has sin whether confessed or unconfessed when they die.

Souls in purgatory will pray for you after they get out of their state and go to heaven. The angels will tell that very soul who prayed for them and offered sacrifices in their name. So, yes, my friend, do pray. It is recommended. Peace.

Hell is different that is if you choose to lead a life away from God, and you sin, and God offers you chances of repenetance and you do not choose God or His way, then if God decides then you go to hell which is severer punishment than purgatory.

Plenary indulgences are fine as long as you have gone to confession recently, go to Mass, and practice on the prayers.

Gregorian Mass or Tridentine Mass is o.k.

Some Families send let's say a whole family's name--meaning all family members living let's say to a monastery and you pay a one time amount and they pray for their entire life time for your family when they are alive and die. This is the greatest. It is pricey, though.

I think the Fransicans do this, but look it up to make sure.

Answer 2

Purgatory is not hell.

"But if someone's work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire." (1 Cor 3:15)

"So that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Pet 1:7)

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if before men, indeed, they be punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. (Wisdom 3:1-6)

Are you perfect now? Most people would say no.

Will you be perfect in heaven? Most people believe yes.

Purgatory (or purgation) is the process of God's love changing our imperfect selves into perfect beings.

Depending on the amount of change needed by different people, this can be an easy or slightly harder process.

Everyone in purgatory is on his or her way to heaven.

I do not think Mother Teresa of Calcutta had a very hard time of it.

Answer 3

As Catholics we can only pray for the dead souls in purgatory that their sins may be forgiven.
Escaping Hell is impossible, eternal punishment.

Purgatory as mentioned in the Bible:

1. OLD TESTAMENT ... in II Macabees we read:

"And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead. ... It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sin.''

Among non-Catholics this book is generally not accepted as the word of God. However, no one denies that it IS a reliable book of history. As such, it proves that the Jews believed in the existence of a place in the next world where sins COULD be forgiven.

We know this cannot be hell from which there is no escape; nor can it be heaven, for nothing unclean can enter there.
We know also that Christ did not correct this belief as He would have done if it were not true.

2. NEW TESTAMENT ...

(a) In the Apocalypse (XXI, 27, we are told: "And there shall not enter into it anything defiled. ..."
If there were no purgatory, this would mean that God would have to send a person who died with only the slightest venial sin on his soul to hell with all those who have committed horrible crimes.

(b) In St. Matthew's Gospel (V, 26) St. Matthew is here speaking of hell. But by inference we are told that there IS a place we can LEAVE in the next world:


"Amen, I say to thee, thou wilt not come out from it til thou has paid the last farthing."

From this text we conclude that there must be a purgatory, or third place, where some atonement CAN be made after death.
This cannot be hell, for we know there is no escape from hell. Nor can it be heaven, for nothing unclean can enter heaven. There must, then, be a third place and this place we call "purgatory."

(c) Again we read in St. Matthew (XII, 32) that the sin against the Holy Ghost cannot be forgiven EITHER in this world OR in the world to come.
We conclude from this that there ARE sins which can be forgiven in the next world. But they cannot be forgiven in hell, and could not exist in heaven.
Therefore, there must be a third place where they CAN be forgiven. This place we call "purgatory."

This is common knowledge...

Answer 4

PRAY PRAY PRAY!
the gregorian masses are just stong prayers with numerous people praying for the person. we do NOT know how long the judgement of God will last and the prayers you are sending to God for that person may come at just the right time during His Judgement.

Answer 5

confident, i'm a practising Catholic. I do sense undesirable while, at Christmas and Easter, all those "two times a three hundred and sixty 5 days" Catholics pop out - yet then I understand that it would desire to be worse. it would desire to alright be a threat they do no longer pop out in any respect. it fairly is ordinary for somebody, who attends Church a week, to flow to Mass on Christmas, Easter, and Holy Days of criminal accountability. I oftentimes ask your self purely how plenty extra challenging this is for human beings, who do no longer attend Mass oftentimes, to get out and flow to Mass some time in keeping with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. we gained't think of it, with the aid of fact all of us be attentive to what we'd be lacking. i do no longer think of those "two times a three hundred and sixty 5 days" kinds can totally have fun with what this is they are lacking. in the event that they did, that they had be at Mass extra beneficial than two times a three hundred and sixty 5 days. i'm proud to be Catholic, so it fairly is each and every of the extra disappointing once I see human beings taking an "oh hum: attitude in direction of their vocation as lay Catholics. All we are able to truly do approximately this is pray, and desire that they occasion we set will, sometime, motivate them to start living the Catholic way of life all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days around.

Answer 6

Works! Works! and more Works! Why? because the sacrificial death and resurrection of Christ was not enough, so when that person comes out of purgatory all those people who did all those works to get them out will have something to take credit for because they helped to get them out of purgatory. They will have something to boast about before the Lord, the very thing that God says is the opposite. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Answer 8

purgatory is a waiting area before u are sent to heaven or hell.. everyone goes to purgatory (Catholic belief) and wait for judgment you make for urself. Do i deserve hell or not..?
Some catholics believe hell is a metaphore for our dark side and not to be taken over by the darker side of our minds.

Answer 9

First off "Purgatory" doesn't exsist. NO WHERE in the bible does it even refer to it. The fact that the souls of believers go directly to God's presence means that there is no such thing as purgatory. Roman Catholic theology finds support for this" doctrine" from 2 Maccabees. Paradise was Abrahams Bosom which held the souls of the righteous until Christ died. Once Christ died souls departed went to God's presence. The ones who die without Christ, are in hell awaiting final Judgement.

Answer 10

Im not Catholic... nor do I believe in purgatory...but

With Christ, anything is possible.

Jesus defeated Death... and he also decended and defeated Hell.

I would say that theres a chance.
