Personal story. When I was in my 20s, my twin sister died. As I was a protestant at the time, I believed in Heaven or Hell, but not Purgatory. Nonetheless I had frequent nightmares of her sad and angry about being forgotten and asking for help, which were fairly distressing considering the options available to me. When I came into the Catholic Church, I began saying prayers for her and had a mass said for her. The nightmares stopped. I hope God had mercy on her soul and she is at peace.
A beautiful story. Thank you. I pray for my husband's soul every night. It cuts me to the core to think he may be still suffering after dying from cancer.
I was baptized into the Catholic faith almost 4 years a go now... I have had souls come to me in my dreams, clearly sad & under some type of distress, my entire life. When my dad passed, he came to me in my dreams several times as well, with so much regret. After I became Catholic & further understood what purgatory was, it came to all make sense. I pray for my father daily, & the dreams eventually stopped. I now understand why these souls come to me, & I make every effort to say prayers for all those purgatory who have no one praying for them due to so many other Christians just simply not believing in purgatory, so sad... Please never fail to say your prayers for these poor souls 🙏
Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious blood of your Divine son, Jesus, in Union with the masses said throughout the world today for all the holy souls in purgatory. For souls everywhere, for souls in the universal church, those in my own home, and within my family. Amen 🙏🙏✝️❤️📿St Gertrude
Your page was the first one I found about becoming Catholic. My wife is Catholic and my daughter was baptised Catholic, I was never baptised which means I am a heathen. I always had respect for the Catholic faith as an authority on Christianity. I am looking forward to becoming a Catholic. Great UA-cam page. Thank you.
I’m a late convert! (5-6 yrs. NO not very informative in regards to Catholic specific teachings. Learnt more by watching Dr Marshall!) When my mother died, 2019, my elder sister had her cremated and then her ashes were scattered in the park. No service, no anything. I was very distraught. I went to confession in the city and blurted out what happened. The priest was very kind and understanding. He advised me to speak to my parish priest, have a mass for her and guided me to the prayers for Souls. I wish I had known of specific prayers for her soul as it was obvious her passing would be soon. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Keep watching this channel. You will learn heaps of Catholic specific teachings from the scriptures. 🙏🏻✝️🤗🇦🇺
Taylor, it’s not just non-Catholics. This is for those Catholics who were never taught some of these things or were not taught them fully. Big shoes you’re filling buddy. Keep up the great work.
I'm a Catholic that left the Catholic Church listening to the 700 Club ....(which I give my tithing) my husband was killed six months ago on are Harley and two months to the day my son was murdered, my soul is in turmoil because I fear that they are being tormented for eternity I didn't know about Martin Luther taking all those books out of the Bible thank you so much I'm going to my local Catholic Church immediately and pray for both of their souls !! And to pull my rosaries out again 🙏🙏🙏 where I thought that was a waste of time, and work on bringing my children and grandchildren back to the Catholic faith thank you so much Marshall you are a huge blessing to me right now God bless you
I'm sorry for your family who have died. Please come back to church and keep praying. We are all your brothers and sisters here who love you very much ♥
Today is my deceased Mother's birthday, November 2nd on which my dear Father's funeral was held. And before this, we lost my little brother in March. Eternal rest grant unto them.....🙏🙏🙏
Its only natural to pray for the dead, a loved one passes away and we think of them often, anyone in thier right mind is gonna think". Lord have mercy on thier soul". How could you not?
There was a pastor back in the day who I absolutely loved. He and his wife were the Christian parents I never had, and once he called me son by accident. He challenged a lot of the default setting Baptist assumptions, the usual rapture, dispensationalist, Schofield and Americanist notions and so on. I now know he was cribbing notes from Church Fathers. We got crossways only one time but it was savage. Voices were raised, fingers were pointed and we both got wrathful and red faced. It was about exactly this topic, praying for the dead. I told him it was viscerally natural and needful and I did it, period. "William! If you do that you might as well be Catholic!" Well, maybe so. And here I am decades later, actually trying to become Catholic and praying for this beloved man who passed away just a few years ago. I am sure someone out there is eager to assist by telling me he has no shot, and to write him off. But praying for him is the shot I have and I will take it. Our God is a mighty God, and what kind of son would I be if I did not try? I'll have to bring up our quarrel in general confession. I was right on the point, but disrespectful of this dignified and moral man, who loved me as much as I loved him.
@@vazz22 You wrote: “That Pastor is in Heaven for believing in Jesus…” No, we can’t assume that because someone has faith that they will be justified on that basis alone. Man is not justified by faith alone: (James 2:24) “You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.” You wrote: “…he(the Pope)…has changed the 10 commandment”. No, the sabbath has not been changed to Sunday. Saturday is the “Sabbath Day” and Sunday is The Lord’s Day. They are two different things. The Catholic Church simply “bound” with it’s keys that Sunday worship “satisfies” the sabbath keeping command. This is within the scope of the Church’s authority to “bind and loose”(Matthew 16:18-19). You wrote: “IHS stands for Isis Horus Seb…Egyptian SUN WORSHIP”. 😂. Ah, no. It is the short form of the latin inscription "Iesus Hominum Salvator" or "Jesus Hominum Salvator" or "Jesus Hominis Salvatus". It has nothing to do with what you’re talking about. By the way, Ellen G. White was a false prophet. Chew on that!
@@vazz22 I’m unable to quote from the Bible so here is my take on what you believe Yes, you are forgiven when you believe that no one goes to the Father except through Jesus. However, there are consequences of your actions, whether they are in the positive or negative. Like every loving father you will have those consequences dealt you. What you are saying is that belief in Jesus is a direct route to heaven. That does not take into account your soul to be rid of impure and unholy sin. Only the pure and holy will enter the Kingdom of God.
@@vazz22 Thank you for the exact wording! It is what I said. Tell me then, why does Jesus say (not verbatim as the scriptures and no scripture book etc.) “When I was naked, did you clothe me? When I was hungry, did you feed me?” Also (as bracketed) “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” To me, that would indicate that more than faith is needed to enter the Kingdom of God. What is your take on the above info. Thanks
Here's one non-Catholic who has followed few conservative Catholic channels for few years. Once I was a great oppositor of the Catholic faith just because of my presupposition. In our town is just a one Catholic chapel and the mass is twice a month, and it's Novus Ordo not a Latin mass. You do well if you pray for me and my family.
You have internet access and can watch the Holy Mass everyday and receive spiritual communion. ❤️✝️ When you can attend in person you Will. God has the perfect plan, you must walk in the joy of the Lord, no matter what he sends your way.. Be blessed and; anointed in Jesus's precious blood
I love this Taylor Marshall!! You are such a great teacher! I wish you covered this material exclusively instead of the more bad news about the pope. I understand it’s important to be knowledgeable, but I have to skip those videos because they lead me to sin (because I get really judgemental instead of taking the beam out of my own eye.) This video is a great reminder and is edifying!! Thank you again, Dr. Marshall!
I agree with this comment. I was about to unfollow this channel because of being negative to the pope. I'm not a Roman catholic I'm a CEC Priest and I love the pope and he needs prayers. Constructive criticism is good but it should be done with respect and reverence to the successor of Peter. Yes, some of our family and friends in purgatory needs our prayer and Church Masses. They're receiving light and severe beating (Luke 12:47) for the purification before interiing into Gods holy presence.
agreed! This video is the first thorough teaching I’ve had on purgatory, and it now grieves me that I don’t have enough time to make up for what I should have done but didn’t know about till now. 🥺😔💔
Dr Marshall, THANK YOU for this video. I’ve been a Presbyterian for 65 years but am seeking; I feel God leading me to the Catholic faith. I’ve been watching your videos and praying for you since I found your channel 2 years ago. Thank you for your clear and succinct message today.
That's my story!!!! (except it happened a few years ago, without Dr.Taylor's help) I'm 63 and converted to Catholicism from being a Baptist, too.There was SO MUCH I DIDN'T KNOW, that I just kind of heard other teachings, sorting truth by my own faulty discernment. Finally I went to adult RCIA and every single truth and falsehood was explained, which really opens the eyes of the soul to SEE! And to feel confident in the authority of Christ in His Church, as I had never been before. I Thank God for putting me in a position to find Him in His church and I feel like I'm one small molecule in the Body of Christ.
You know what's interesting? She was curious about the Blessed Mother. And the Blessed Mother brings her to the Truth, her Divine Son as she always does. Once we become her property, she never lets us go. You've gained one more soul Doc thanks for the intercession of the Blessed Mother. I salute you because you've been instrumental to many people's conversion. May God reward you in heaven. Amen. Deo Gratias!
Thank you for this video. I've had a great devotion to the Holy Souls in Purgatory for several years now and can't help but feel sad whenever I visit the cemetery on All Soul's Day and discover that I'm the only person there at the time. This has happened even in Catholic cemeteries when All Soul's Day falls on a weekend when you'd think more people would be available to visit the dearly departed. 😞
Thank You Taylor for taking time us old Catholic’s feel a need for refresher’s :) I’m older than your letter lady . We’re so disenfranchised now . I said a Rosary as most day’s . I came across this on Wednesday it was lovely . We all need reminders to remember poor souls 👥‼️
People in the comments who don't believe what you are explaining, do not realize the risk they are taking in their disbelief, and the opportunity they miss to help their loved ones in Purgatory.
Here's some lyrics for a new song for all you faithful to the church Catholics ' Not even the blood of Jesus can save us, but we got purgatory to save us from the pits of hell...
A deceased Poor Clare nun appeared to a saint (I forget who) and told her she had gone straight to Heaven - bypassing Purgatory - through the recitation of the prayer below, every night before she went to sleep. Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits. 1 --- To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. 2 --- To purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life. Glory Be, etc. 3 --- To supply for the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected to do this day and all my life. Glory Be, etc.claimed
I'm so glad you consider your Protestant listeners. I am one. Purgatory is a difficult concept for a protestant. This is very helpful, as are the rest of your videos. Like the woman in the letter, you helped me with the Mary factor. (another difficult one for the Protestant) Thank goodness I'm over that and can say I am now one of the generations who call her blessed. I have a daily rosary practice. (thanks to you.) I just received my Douay-Rheims Bible. (thanks to your Happy Meal:)
Ma'am..... Stay i n your FAITH and leave these ignorant DEMONS alone....RCC is still a LIE. There is NO PURGATORY When you keep listening to A LIE. This is what happens..
AMEN to this lady. I’m in tears. God bless her AND her mother! Please pray for my son JJ who was baptized Catholic but has been questioning the Catholic beliefs now that he has recently been attracted to and confused by Protestant mass and teachings. I told him to listen to Dr Marshall who has converted from such to Catholicism. He debates with me, what about those who are Catholic and convert to Protestant? I feel so defeated, but I still have great faith that Mother Mary will not abandon my prayers and help me bring him back to her.
How wonderful to know what good works you are doing through your channel. May you be continually blessed for choosing to do this with your life! Many people including myself are blessed by your work.
I know it's unrelated, but when I studied Hinduism it also has a fire where everything is burned away, and I thought it sounded a lot like purgatory. I guess ideas on ultimate reality travel. But hey, I'm Catholic but I guess it's a talking point with our Hindu friends who we can bring home.
Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory St Gertrude the Great Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen. Our Lord promised St. Gertrude that 1,000 souls would be released from purgatory each time it is said devoutly.
@@ghosty426 No. Not the Divine Mercy. I used to say it religiously eventhough it never felt right to me. I read several times that it was not orthodox at all, considering Sister Faustina and her questionable diary. She did not expound repentance to obtain mercy and she very bizarrely said a Host flew from the alter into her hand 😳, I suppose, during Mass. Fatima Center has videos with Fr. Gruener and John Vinnery which are enlightening. There's other information on this but I lost it somehow. 😇😇😇
@@ghosty426 My 16 year old daughter and I prayed those two prayers at the cemetary where we know many, including grandparents, uncles. Thank you Jesus for these beautiful prayers of mercy!
Hi friends Purgatory dosen't exsist It's a fable a myths Jesus paid the full price for our since Revelation chapter 21 verse 6 And he said unto me for it is done for I am the alpha and omega the beginning and the end . I will give unto him who athirst the foundation of water life freely No need to go to Purgatory and pay for your sins Jesus paid that price for us on the cross So why make the cross invain Jesus gave us a parable about the marriage supper of the lamb For a stranger came into the banquet and he had his own robe on and not the robe of righteousness of christ There's nothing we can do for ourselves to inherit the kingdom of God my friends
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 Sounds like words of a fallen angel, who wants to keep others from praying for the poor souls in purgatory. I choose to pray for All souls in purgatory, if I'm wrong no harm done if I'm right great charity is done. Besides I believe EVERYTHING Jesus's One True Holy Catholic and Apostoluc Church teaches! Just know my friend if you are Holy enough to get to purgatory it will be the prayers of Catholics who will help set you free! So be NICE!
Same experience here, I love my dad so much because he was the best father I always thought he was but I knew he was not a churchgoer because my mother never encouraged him or accompanied him to church. After my father died I had horrible horrible dreams about him and it puzzled me. Now I pray for him every time when I pray my Rosary, those bad dreams stopped.
Because IT IS NOT REAL yeah BLAME Luther Luther was right. ...there is no purgatory There is no praying to the dead. RCC was angry at Luther BUT they WERE WRONG and slaughtered millions of Real Christians ..ask them about that.....Ask the RCC why they slaughtered REAL CHRISTIANS???
The Prayer of St Agnes. Eternal Father, we offer you the most precious body and blood of your Divine son Jesus, together with all of the masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, sinners in the Universal Church, those in my home and within my family, Amen. It is said that this prayer is guaranteed to release 1,000 souls from Purgatory every time it is said.
The poor Souls in Purgatory are unable to help themselves, therefore, they are dependent upon us for prayers to shorten their time in Purgatory. I've read that the BVM will help deliver a multitude of Souls on Her Solemnity August 15. 😇😇😇
@@sweetcaroline2060 no he gave you all a scripture where this is assumed. DO YOU THINK JESUS was stupid and would say heaven hell lake of fire Yet LEAVE OUT THE WORD PURGATORY????? DO YOU ALL SERIOUSLY THINK JESUS IS THAT DUMB? Again, YOU ALL make up anything ....to agree to what you want to believe NOT WHAT JESUS SAID. IT IS ALL FABRICATED And YES IF JESUS DIDN'T SAY IT.....IT DON'T EXIST. Scripture don't say mass Eucharist Purgatory CATHOLIC NONE OF THESE FALSE THINGS. ..
On the subject of praying for the dead, The Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge declares without hesitation that “no Old-Testament passage can be quoted in favor of the custom.” The Catholic Encyclopedia admits there “is no clear and explicit Scriptural text in favor of prayers for the dead” in any of the sixty-six Bible books mutually recognized by Protestants and Catholics. The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “In the final analysis, the Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, NOT sacred Scripture.” “The church has relied on tradition to support a middle ground between heaven and hell.” (U.S. Catholic). “What goes on in purgatory is anyone’s guess!” (U.S. Catholic)
According to legend, a nun said 3 Hail Mary’s every day. One to supply the good they ought to do for the day, one to purify any good which is accomplished, and a third Hail Mary to pay all her debts for sin. Upon her death the nun appeared to one of the other sisters and revealed that by this practice, she avoided Purgatory entirely(keeping in mind that this assumes one is in the state of grace upon their death).
@@lightninlad 3 Hail Mary's?? 3 Greetings Mary Grettings Mary Greetings Mary ???? That is basically what Hail means. The HOLY GHOST is so against that. And the RCC is ridiculous to even add more meaning to HAIL than what it really means
I just love you Dr. Marshall! Thank you for all that you are doing for us catholics. Our church is so beautiful. I as a life long catholic have learned so much from you!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Dr. Taylor, if you really want to know what Purgatory is all about, take a good look at what St. Therese (Doctor of the Church) said about Purgatory! She’s right on! God bless you…+Fr.James
@@DominicMazoch Little Flower! Her belief about purgatory is very close if not spot on! She has made some of the most beautiful and inspirational statements I’ve ever read! Just between you and me, LOVE is the answer to everything because God our Father is PURE LOVE and LOVES us beyond belief or comprehension. That is why it is so wrong that we keep doing things that saddens HIM! God bless you…+Fr.James
Dr Taylor...I am from Colombia and catholic....when my mother died I was taken to purgatory in my sleep after praying the rosary at 3am....the souls beg me for prayers....I converted at 45 years old...
Also St. Matthew chapter 12 Jesus speaks of forgiveness in the world to come, all except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. St. Augustine and Saint Gregory said if there is forgiveness in the world to come, there must be a purgatory where sins are remitted.
I was raised Christian in name only. My parents did not offer ANY religious instruction to my brother or me. We were expected to figure it out on our own. I’m in my fifties now, and just now receiving “proper” religious instruction thanks to you and other like minded individuals.
I have an appointment with a priest this sunday about coming back to the Catholic faith, I was protestant baptised in the brethren church and been going to the Baptist church. Your show has helped me a great deal, I had been researching the Catholic fsith since december. Thank you so much for all your videos, God bless your family.
Important to know that it's not possible pray for some souls, not at all. Only souls of faithful brothers or sisters who had died in the Lord. The whole others souls, who had died with mortal sins , far from of God, they got condemned forever in hell.
Ecclésiastiques 9 vrs 5 and 6 for the living know that they Will die but the dead know not nothing and they have no more reward, their love their hate have perished and forever they have no more share in it that is under the sun. Plz tell me what does this text mean if i am in error i would like to know thanks
Taylor I teach singing You were saying your throat was getting a bit rough.Better than water is, if you take a few sips from time to tie of a mixture you can readily buy in Scotland out of a chemist or similar . . . a mixture of glycerin lemon and honey. Should I be encouraging you to speak for even longer!? Just kidding - always well worth listening to Thank you. (Course you can also make this up but it is convenient buying the little bottles)
I’m sure he did. How wonderful to dedicate your time for his soul. How very sad that a person feels/believes the need to leave this world. You are a beautiful friend 🤗🙏🏻✝️
1 John 5:16 16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
Yes, Jesus paid the price, but He also left sufferings for us to make up which were lacking in his, St. Paul says, Col. 1:24. That's our part. Otherwise why would Jesus even tell us to do penance at all? Death is the penalty for sin. If Jesus paid it all, why do we still have to die?
33:36 Thank you for affirming this because I've been thinking about what happens to my prayers for the dead if he/she is in hell. And after much prayers and reflection, it came to me that my prayers won't be wasted but it will be given to someone else in purgatory who needs it. Maybe you can help me recommend some documents which supports this claim so that I can read it and understand it well just in case someone asks me about it.
It is of faith that those in purgatory can be helped by the prayers and sacrifices of the faithful on earth and especially by the acceptable Sacrifice of the Altar. Though there is no ecclesiastical decision in the matter, it is a common custom to pray [to] the souls in purgatory that they will intercede with us for God.
Thank God I watched this video! At first I was tempted to dismiss it since I'm 100% convinced about the Sacred Doctrine of Purgatory and I know pretty much all the Theology behind it. But something made me actually go back and watch it. And lo and behold I learned something new in this video...a most straightforward answer to the most common lame argument of protis against Purgatory of "where is that word in the Bible?" I used to answer with counter questions s.a. Where's "Sola Scriptura" or "Holy Trinity"? etc. and the sequential related arguments. Although that is still a correct answer, I just learned that the word Purgatory is actually in the Bible after all...well in one form! In that passage in Corinthian quoted by Dr. Taylor, the original writing for fire is PUR...BINGO!!! So PURgatory is just that place where that "PUR" or purifying fire is found. Soooo the word Purgatory is implied in that passage without a doubt. Thanks for the input Dr. Marshall!
We all pay for our wrong doings. If you a pro abortion and a Catholic and die will you be punished for that or pay your way of of that sinful action through prayers of the living?.. Don't know but the Mexican pagans call it; the day of the dead. Just my common sense thoughts
I became a Catholic because of purgatory belief. My first husband died, father of my son, and this led me to the doctrine of purgatory, a year later I entered the Church
Exceptional video! I found your channel through your educational videos, and am so grateful for them and you! You helped me greatly through my conversion from high church Anglicanism to Catholicism
We must remember that the Most Blessed Mother does not require us to pray the Holy Rosary in latin. The HOLY ROSARY is efficacious in any language. Praying for the dead is an act of Mercy. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself tells us...welcome to the Kingdom for I was in prison you visited me. Being in purgatory is being in prison...as the Holy Scriptures say that one cannot be release from prison until one has paid the last farthing. One of the conditions for receiving the plenary indulgence for the poor soul is Holy Communion which is in the Luminous Mysteries...the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament. AMDG SAG JMJ SEMPER DEO GRATIAS ET MARIE
If we pray from our heart with meaning, whatever language we use becomes powerful. If I went to a Latin mass, I would be praying meaningless words to Christ and he deserves better than that. If a person is fluent in the language there is nothing wrong with using it. God bless.

@@jimkilloughy3413 This is not traditional Church teaching... Yes you should understand your prayers, although intent is more important, do children truly understand what they mean when they pray? but the languages are not equal, the 3 holy languages, and especially Latin as the language of the universal church, do have power, which is why demons hate latin prayers more
The book of Maccabees makes purgatory so clear. What a great book of the Bible. It is also great how the Maccabee brothers and father loved God above all else and were tough as nails. If they lived today, they would go to a talk by James Martin, Eth Jay, or Pachapapa, to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And they would be all out of bubble gum from the get go.
@@billyhomeyer7414 Not the point that I was making. I just meant what I wrote. But true, not in the KJV though it had been a part of the divinely inspired list for more than a millenium. Too Catholic for the protestants. Too much truth in it.
I do not believe in purgatory. In my opinion It is a contrivance and manipulation of the scriptures to satisfy temporal needs. This is not as bad as believing if you are not catholic you are not saved. We are under the New Covenant. I would rather proclaim the all powerful and all prevailing victory of the Blood of Jesus and all that that means - as if anyone could. I realize that any debate/discussion along these lines usually reduces to a polemic, unfortunately sad but true.
Purgatory is not in scripture and to suggest it is and needed would suggest Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross was not enough to cleanse us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 says “the blood of Christ cleanses is from all sin” not most sin, not many sin, all sins. Repent and trust in Jesus
Purgatory is taught by Jesus I several places. Luke 16 the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man is not in the hell of the damned but rather in Purgatory. Firstly he addresses Abraham respectfully as Father. Then he prays relief for himself. Later he prays for his relatives. Souls in Hell don’t wish salvation for anyone nor do they grow in charity from selfish prayer to selfless prayer. The rich man is in Purgatory to grow in holiness and charity before reaching Heaven. The great chasm is mentioned but in Matt 18 v34 Jesus says: and in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers until he has paid the last penny. Although Jesus doesn’t say the word purgatory He certainly references it. Luke12 the parable of 4 servants. One is lost, one is saved and the other two suffer varying degrees of punishment. Ave Maria.
to be fair, that's what the catechism is for - and cradle Catholics learn this in school but I agree, it's not so easy if either you're not paying attention in class or you come to Catholicism as an adult.
Thank you Dr Taylor , you are a blessing teaching us about the purgatory , this will help me to have the scriptures and Biblical teachings and have answers to my Protestants friends they don’t understand, , blessings to your teaching ministry we all need it !
Pray For Souls In Purgatory There are more souls released from purgatory during the Consecration of the Mass than at any time. Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered; then feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady and great saints. Souls receive much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays, day of baptism, anniversary of death. The more we work for Poor Souls on earth the more others will pray for us, the more merciful will Christ be with us when were in purgatory. Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the poor souls; that we pray: 5 I believe in God 1 Hail Holy Queen 1 Our Father 1 Hail Mary 1 Glory be to the Father 1 Requiem (Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace. Amen.)
Great video Taylor, I appreciate the ancient history and theological proof as well as the old testament. Those were some of my favorites but I must say that I was very distracted by the chat this time. Too many prideful and uneducated folk.
Keep up the good work Taylor! I’m a born again Catholic and I to have come across your channel and learned so much. Now I’m a member of the St Thomas institute and learning as much as I can. Thank you!
Dr. Marshall I really appreciate these videos they’ve taught me so very much, and I thank you for them! I was just wondering if maybe you can do the Latin prayers a little slower so that we could hear the pronunciation better, it would help a great deal I think to a lot of us. Thank you and God bless you.
My father in law had passed and weeks later came to me in a dream asking for me to pray for him. There was a lot of bad bad drama between us and I was scared. I told him he wasn't supposed to be here but I would say a prayer for him if he left me alone. I never had that dream again. At about the same time, my husband told me he had a dream about his Dad and that he was cussing my husband out. I shared with him what happened to me. We haven't spoken of it since.
Thank you Dr Marshall for this. I needed a better understanding of purgatory. 📿🙏🏽 and it’s awesome how you back it up by scripture! 73 books in our catholic bible. 7 is for the completion of the inspired word of the 3 trinity

People who claim to be Catholic need to be prepared to explain the truth to any and everyone anytime. This small example is priceless and timeless. Thank you Dr M.
Yes. Prayers from the heart are always welcomed. I pray for suicide victims. I also pray for the souls who have been in there the longest, and have no one to pray for them. A sincere pray will not go to waste. If the person you are praying for is already out of Purgatory, it will go to someone who needs prayers.
@@nancybitutu7861 It would appear you have not understood any of what Dr Marshall spoke about. Your efforts would be more beneficial in converting non believers eg Muslim, Hindu, atheist etc Take heart that we Catholics believe what Jesus said that no one goes to the Father, except through me. Not you nor anyone on this earth can say where we are going upon leaving this earth. Glory to Our Father and Creator Glory to His Son Jesus Christ Glory to the Holy Spirit Amen
Personal story. When I was in my 20s, my twin sister died. As I was a protestant at the time, I believed in Heaven or Hell, but not Purgatory. Nonetheless I had frequent nightmares of her sad and angry about being forgotten and asking for help, which were fairly distressing considering the options available to me. When I came into the Catholic Church, I began saying prayers for her and had a mass said for her. The nightmares stopped. I hope God had mercy on her soul and she is at peace.
Amen! And may you to have God's peace that surpasses all human understanding
A beautiful story. Thank you. I pray for my husband's soul every night. It cuts me to the core to think he may be still suffering after dying from cancer.
That's a beautiful and touching story. 💜 Thank you.
Sounds like you got what you wanted.
It sounds as if she is.
I was baptized into the Catholic faith almost 4 years a go now... I have had souls come to me in my dreams, clearly sad & under some type of distress, my entire life. When my dad passed, he came to me in my dreams several times as well, with so much regret. After I became Catholic & further understood what purgatory was, it came to all make sense. I pray for my father daily, & the dreams eventually stopped. I now understand why these souls come to me, & I make every effort to say prayers for all those purgatory who have no one praying for them due to so many other Christians just simply not believing in purgatory, so sad... Please never fail to say your prayers for these poor souls 🙏
AC for salvation of souls in purgatory 🙏Amen ❤️✝️📿🙏
Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious blood of your Divine son, Jesus, in Union with the masses said throughout the world today for all the holy souls in purgatory. For souls everywhere, for souls in the universal church, those in my own home, and within my family. Amen 🙏🙏✝️❤️📿St Gertrude
Your page was the first one I found about becoming Catholic. My wife is Catholic and my daughter was baptised Catholic, I was never baptised which means I am a heathen. I always had respect for the Catholic faith as an authority on Christianity. I am looking forward to becoming a Catholic. Great UA-cam page. Thank you.
I'm not far behind you. I just contacted a traditional Catholic Priest, asking him for a meeting to discuss my joining the Church.
I’m a late convert! (5-6 yrs. NO not very informative in regards to Catholic specific teachings. Learnt more by watching Dr Marshall!)
When my mother died, 2019, my elder sister had her cremated and then her ashes were scattered in the park.
No service, no anything. I was very distraught.
I went to confession in the city and blurted out what happened. The priest was very kind and understanding. He advised me to speak to my parish priest, have a mass for her and guided me to the prayers for Souls.
I wish I had known of specific prayers for her soul as it was obvious her passing would be soon. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep watching this channel. You will learn heaps of Catholic specific teachings from the scriptures.

That's right, Taylor. Never doubt it: you are helping people everywhere!!! 😁👍
Taylor, it’s not just non-Catholics. This is for those Catholics who were never taught some of these things or were not taught them fully. Big shoes you’re filling buddy. Keep up the great work.
Right @d1burns also I love watching u-tube of Fr: Corapi very helpful God Bless
That is very true. I was never taught this from the catholic church in CCD
It's great when people challenge and debate things like this, it's great to have concrete evidence to back things up
Yes, never to late to learn.
My spouse converted to Catholicism at age 65!
I'm a Catholic that left the Catholic Church listening to the 700 Club ....(which I give my tithing) my husband was killed six months ago on are Harley and two months to the day my son was murdered, my soul is in turmoil because I fear that they are being tormented for eternity I didn't know about Martin Luther taking all those books out of the Bible thank you so much I'm going to my local Catholic Church immediately and pray for both of their souls !! And to pull my rosaries out again 🙏🙏🙏 where I thought that was a waste of time, and work on bringing my children and grandchildren back to the Catholic faith thank you so much Marshall you are a huge blessing to me right now God bless you
Pray for them and have masses said.
Can help!
I'm sorry for your losses. Trust in Jesus Christ's Divine Mercy.
God Bless You! My heart breaks for you! You are a blessing to your family praying them into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church..
Condolences for your losses. I will keep you, your husband and son in my prayer God Bless.
I'm sorry for your family who have died. Please come back to church and keep praying. We are all your brothers and sisters here who love you very much ♥
Today is my deceased Mother's birthday, November 2nd on which my dear Father's funeral was held. And before this, we lost my little brother in March. Eternal rest grant unto them.....🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Dr Taylor. I am 67 ans was baptised in 2020. You have realy helped me also.
Its only natural to pray for the dead, a loved one passes away and we think of them often, anyone in thier right mind is gonna think". Lord have mercy on thier soul". How could you not?
There was a pastor back in the day who I absolutely loved. He and his wife were the Christian parents I never had, and once he called me son by accident. He challenged a lot of the default setting Baptist assumptions, the usual rapture, dispensationalist, Schofield and Americanist notions and so on. I now know he was cribbing notes from Church Fathers. We got crossways only one time but it was savage. Voices were raised, fingers were pointed and we both got wrathful and red faced. It was about exactly this topic, praying for the dead. I told him it was viscerally natural and needful and I did it, period. "William! If you do that you might as well be Catholic!" Well, maybe so. And here I am decades later, actually trying to become Catholic and praying for this beloved man who passed away just a few years ago. I am sure someone out there is eager to assist by telling me he has no shot, and to write him off. But praying for him is the shot I have and I will take it. Our God is a mighty God, and what kind of son would I be if I did not try? I'll have to bring up our quarrel in general confession. I was right on the point, but disrespectful of this dignified and moral man, who loved me as much as I loved him.
THAT was well said and spot on! Thanks for sharing!

You wrote:
“That Pastor is in Heaven for believing in Jesus…”
No, we can’t assume that because someone has faith that they will be justified on that basis alone. Man is not justified by faith alone:
(James 2:24)
“You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.”
You wrote:
“…he(the Pope)…has changed the 10 commandment”.
No, the sabbath has not been changed to Sunday. Saturday is the “Sabbath Day” and Sunday is The Lord’s Day. They are two different things. The Catholic Church simply “bound” with it’s keys that Sunday worship “satisfies” the sabbath keeping command. This is within the scope of the Church’s authority to “bind and loose”(Matthew 16:18-19).
You wrote:
“IHS stands for Isis Horus Seb…Egyptian SUN WORSHIP”.
😂. Ah, no. It is the short form of the latin inscription "Iesus Hominum Salvator" or "Jesus Hominum Salvator" or "Jesus Hominis Salvatus". It has nothing to do with what you’re talking about.
By the way, Ellen G. White was a false prophet. Chew on that!
WJ. Who can know the mind of God? Let your heart guide you.
@@vazz22
I’m unable to quote from the Bible so here is my take on what you believe
Yes, you are forgiven when you believe that no one goes to the Father except through Jesus.
However, there are consequences of your actions, whether they are in the positive or negative. Like every loving father you will have those consequences dealt you.
What you are saying is that belief in Jesus is a direct route to heaven. That does not take into account your soul to be rid of impure and unholy sin.
Only the pure and holy will enter the Kingdom of God.
@@vazz22
Thank you for the exact wording! It is what I said.
Tell me then, why does Jesus say (not verbatim as the scriptures and no scripture book etc.) “When I was naked, did you clothe me? When I was hungry, did you feed me?” Also (as bracketed) “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
To me, that would indicate that more than faith is needed to enter the Kingdom of God.
What is your take on the above info. Thanks
Here's one non-Catholic who has followed few conservative Catholic channels for few years. Once I was a great oppositor of the Catholic faith just because of my presupposition.
In our town is just a one Catholic chapel and the mass is twice a month, and it's Novus Ordo not a Latin mass.
You do well if you pray for me and my family.
You have internet access and can watch the Holy Mass everyday and receive spiritual communion. ❤️✝️ When you can attend in person you Will. God has the perfect plan, you must walk in the joy of the Lord, no matter what he sends your way.. Be blessed and; anointed in Jesus's precious blood
Welcome to the 62 yr young gal! So glad you are among us!!! Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen!!
I love this Taylor Marshall!! You are such a great teacher! I wish you covered this material exclusively instead of the more bad news about the pope. I understand it’s important to be knowledgeable, but I have to skip those videos because they lead me to sin (because I get really judgemental instead of taking the beam out of my own eye.) This video is a great reminder and is edifying!! Thank you again, Dr. Marshall!
I agree with this comment. I was about to unfollow this channel because of being negative to the pope. I'm not a Roman catholic I'm a CEC Priest and I love the pope and he needs prayers. Constructive criticism is good but it should be done with respect and reverence to the successor of Peter.
Yes, some of our family and friends in purgatory needs our prayer and Church Masses. They're receiving light and severe beating (Luke 12:47) for the purification before interiing into Gods holy presence.
agreed! This video is the first thorough teaching I’ve had on purgatory, and it now grieves me that I don’t have enough time to make up for what I should have done but didn’t know about till now. 🥺😔💔
Dr Marshall, THANK YOU for this video. I’ve been a Presbyterian for 65 years but am seeking; I feel God leading me to the Catholic faith. I’ve been watching your videos and praying for you since I found your channel 2 years ago. Thank you for your clear and succinct message today.
Don't listen to him, he's not even a Catholic. Come home to the Church♥️🙏
@jamo1911fundamentalist ignorance 101. In a public moderated debate you would lose badly
That's my story!!!! (except it happened a few years ago, without Dr.Taylor's help)
I'm 63 and converted to Catholicism from being a Baptist, too.There was SO MUCH I DIDN'T KNOW, that I just kind of heard other teachings, sorting truth by my own faulty discernment. Finally I went to adult RCIA and every single truth and falsehood was explained, which really opens the eyes of the soul to SEE!
And to feel confident in the authority of Christ in His Church, as I had never been before. I Thank God for putting me in a position to find Him in His church and I feel like I'm one small molecule in the Body of Christ.
You know what's interesting? She was curious about the Blessed Mother. And the Blessed Mother brings her to the Truth, her Divine Son as she always does. Once we become her property, she never lets us go. You've gained one more soul Doc thanks for the intercession of the Blessed Mother. I salute you because you've been instrumental to many people's conversion. May God reward you in heaven. Amen. Deo Gratias!
Thank you for this video. I've had a great devotion to the Holy Souls in Purgatory for several years now and can't help but feel sad whenever I visit the cemetery on All Soul's Day and discover that I'm the only person there at the time. This has happened even in Catholic cemeteries when All Soul's Day falls on a weekend when you'd think more people would be available to visit the dearly departed. 😞
Very insightful topic today. Thank you Dr. Marshall. From a Catholic wanna be.
Thank You Taylor for taking time us old Catholic’s feel a need for refresher’s :) I’m older than your letter lady . We’re so disenfranchised now . I said a Rosary as most day’s . I came across this on Wednesday it was lovely . We all need reminders to remember poor souls 👥‼️
People in the comments who don't believe what you are explaining, do not realize the risk they are taking in their disbelief, and the opportunity they miss to help their loved ones in Purgatory.
Here's some lyrics for a new song for all you faithful to the church Catholics ' Not even the blood of Jesus can save us, but we got purgatory to save us from the pits of hell...
A deceased Poor Clare nun appeared to a saint (I forget who) and told her she had gone straight to Heaven - bypassing Purgatory - through the recitation of the prayer below, every night before she went to sleep.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits.
1 --- To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
2 --- To purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life. Glory Be, etc.
3 --- To supply for the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected to do this day and all my life. Glory Be, etc.claimed
Is there a specific name for this prayer? I haven’t read this before! ☺️
@@grespinosa I found it. Sorry this is coming 2 years later. It is called the Prayer for Daily Neglects.
I'm so glad you consider your Protestant listeners. I am one. Purgatory is a difficult concept for a protestant. This is very helpful, as are the rest of your videos. Like the woman in the letter, you helped me with the Mary factor. (another difficult one for the Protestant) Thank goodness I'm over that and can say I am now one of the generations who call her blessed. I have a daily rosary practice. (thanks to you.) I just received my Douay-Rheims Bible. (thanks to your Happy Meal:)
You've taken your first steps in coming home to the Catholic Faith. God Bless you and may you find your way home.
Ma'am..... Stay i n your FAITH and leave these ignorant DEMONS alone....RCC is still a LIE. There is NO PURGATORY
When you keep listening to A LIE. This is what happens..
@@TriciaRP I understand what you are saying and why.
AMEN to this lady. I’m in tears. God bless her AND her mother!
Please pray for my son JJ who was baptized Catholic but has been questioning the Catholic beliefs now that he has recently been attracted to and confused by Protestant mass and teachings. I told him to listen to Dr Marshall who has converted from such to Catholicism. He debates with me, what about those who are Catholic and convert to Protestant? I feel so defeated, but I still have great faith that Mother Mary will not abandon my prayers and help me bring him back to her.
How wonderful to know what good works you are doing through your channel. May you be continually blessed for choosing to do this with your life! Many people including myself are blessed by your work.
There's a really good book that is simply called "Purgatory". I bought it years ago from Leaflet Missle Company in St. Paul, MN.
I know it's unrelated, but when I studied Hinduism it also has a fire where everything is burned away, and I thought it sounded a lot like purgatory. I guess ideas on ultimate reality travel. But hey, I'm Catholic but I guess it's a talking point with our Hindu friends who we can bring home.
Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory
St Gertrude the Great
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
Our Lord promised St. Gertrude that 1,000 souls would be released from purgatory each time it is said devoutly.
The Saint Gertrude Prayers are most efficacious for the Souls of our Departed Loved Ones. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is also most efficacious.
@@ghosty426
No. Not the Divine Mercy. I used to say it religiously eventhough it never felt right to me. I read several times that it was not orthodox at all, considering Sister Faustina and her questionable diary. She did not expound repentance to obtain mercy and she very bizarrely said a Host flew from the alter into her hand 😳, I suppose, during Mass. Fatima Center has videos with Fr. Gruener and John Vinnery which are enlightening. There's other information on this but I lost it somehow. 😇😇😇
@@ghosty426
My 16 year old daughter and I prayed those two prayers at the cemetary where we know many, including grandparents, uncles. Thank you Jesus for these beautiful prayers of mercy!
Hi friends
Purgatory dosen't exsist
It's a fable a myths
Jesus paid the full price for our since
Revelation chapter 21 verse 6
And he said unto me for it is done for I am the alpha and omega the beginning and the end .
I will give unto him who athirst the foundation of water life freely
No need to go to Purgatory and pay for your sins
Jesus paid that price for us on the cross
So why make the cross invain
Jesus gave us a parable about the marriage supper of the lamb
For a stranger came into the banquet and he had his own robe on and not the robe of righteousness of christ
There's nothing we can do for ourselves to inherit the kingdom of God my friends
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008
Sounds like words of a fallen angel, who wants to keep others from praying for the poor souls in purgatory.
I choose to pray for All souls in purgatory, if I'm wrong no harm done if I'm right great charity is done.
Besides I believe EVERYTHING Jesus's One True Holy Catholic and Apostoluc Church teaches!
Just know my friend if you are Holy enough to get to purgatory it will be the prayers of Catholics who will help set you free! So be NICE!
Same experience here, I love my dad so much because he was the best father I always thought he was but I knew he was not a churchgoer because my mother never encouraged him or accompanied him to church. After my father died I had horrible horrible dreams about him and it puzzled me. Now I pray for him every time when I pray my Rosary, those bad dreams stopped.
Thanks! I’ve been struggling about Purgatory and it’s existence because many who have NDE never mention Purgatory.
Because IT IS NOT REAL
yeah BLAME Luther
Luther was right. ...there is no purgatory
There is no praying to the dead.
RCC was angry at Luther BUT they WERE WRONG and slaughtered millions of Real Christians ..ask them about that.....Ask the RCC why they slaughtered REAL CHRISTIANS???
My mother in law was a late convert. Sadly my husband never did and embraced atheism. When he passed I was unable to bury him in our cemetery.
" store up your treasure in heaven ". I never knew what that meant, it must mean something, good deeds sure makes sense.
I've always thought an interesting view is that God can use anybody's prayers at any time, for anybody IN any time. Why not? He's God!
The Prayer of St Agnes. Eternal Father, we offer you the most precious body and blood of your Divine son Jesus, together with all of the masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, sinners in the Universal Church, those in my home and within my family, Amen. It is said that this prayer is guaranteed to release 1,000 souls from Purgatory every time it is said.
They have a chaplet based on tis prayer.
The poor Souls in Purgatory are unable to help themselves, therefore, they are dependent upon us for prayers to shorten their time in Purgatory. I've read that the BVM will help deliver a multitude of Souls on Her Solemnity August 15. 😇😇😇
Did she tell you this? How do you know? You will probably believe anything they sell you!!

@@bobdylan1677
Apparently you didn't listen to this video where Dr. Marshall tells us exactly the Biblical references of Purgatory.
@@sweetcaroline2060 no he gave you all a scripture where this is assumed. DO YOU THINK JESUS was stupid and would say heaven hell lake of fire Yet LEAVE OUT THE WORD PURGATORY?????
DO YOU ALL SERIOUSLY THINK JESUS IS THAT DUMB?

And YES IF JESUS DIDN'T SAY IT.....IT DON'T EXIST. Scripture don't say mass
Eucharist
Purgatory
CATHOLIC
NONE OF THESE FALSE THINGS. ..
On the subject of praying for the dead, The Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge declares without hesitation that “no Old-Testament passage can be quoted in favor of the custom.”
The Catholic Encyclopedia admits there “is no clear and explicit Scriptural text in favor of prayers for the dead” in any of the sixty-six Bible books mutually recognized by Protestants and Catholics.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “In the final analysis, the Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, NOT sacred Scripture.”
“The church has relied on tradition to support a middle ground between heaven and hell.” (U.S. Catholic).
“What goes on in purgatory is anyone’s guess!” (U.S. Catholic)
That sounds like my story also with a few differences. I’m converting at 63; my baptist momma, age 91, loves the rosary also.
I have always been afraid of purgatory! I had a talk with my priest and he told me that purgatory is God’s last mercy toward you.
According to legend, a nun said 3 Hail Mary’s every day. One to supply the good they ought to do for the day, one to purify any good which is accomplished, and a third Hail Mary to pay all her debts for sin.
Upon her death the nun appeared to one of the other sisters and revealed that by this practice, she avoided Purgatory entirely(keeping in mind that this assumes one is in the state of grace upon their death).
I remember Fr. Corapi saying, “if you make it to purgatory then you are good, you will surely get to heaven”.
He SOLD YOU A LIE. .
@@lightninlad 3 Hail Mary's??
3 Greetings Mary
Grettings Mary
Greetings Mary

That is basically what Hail means. The HOLY GHOST is so against that. And the RCC is ridiculous to even add more meaning to HAIL than what it really means
@@TriciaRP who sold me a lie? And Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ!!!! How can you not want her in your life???

Dr. Taylor, if you really want to know what Purgatory is all about, take a good look at what St. Therese (Doctor of the Church) said about Purgatory! She’s right on! God bless you…+Fr.James
Which one? Avila or Little Flower?
@@DominicMazoch Little Flower! Her belief about purgatory is very close if not spot on! She has made some of the most beautiful and inspirational statements I’ve ever read! Just between you and me, LOVE is the answer to everything because God our Father is PURE LOVE and LOVES us beyond belief or comprehension. That is why it is so wrong that we keep doing things that saddens HIM! God bless you…+Fr.James
@@DominicMazoch Little Flower. Fr Mark Goring was referring to her yesterday. Check out his site.
Dr Taylor...I am from Colombia and catholic....when my mother died I was taken to purgatory in my sleep after praying the rosary at 3am....the souls beg me for prayers....I converted at 45 years old...
Also St. Matthew chapter 12 Jesus speaks of forgiveness in the world to come, all except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. St. Augustine and Saint Gregory said if there is forgiveness in the world to come, there must be a purgatory where sins are remitted.
I was raised Christian in name only. My parents did not offer ANY religious instruction to my brother or me. We were expected to figure it out on our own. I’m in my fifties now, and just now receiving “proper” religious instruction thanks to you and other like minded individuals.
Me too! Blessings to Dr. Marshall, these videos are helping my faith formation! 🙏💟
I have an appointment with a priest this sunday about coming back to the Catholic faith, I was protestant baptised in the brethren church and been going to the Baptist church. Your show has helped me a great deal, I had been researching the Catholic fsith since december. Thank you so much for all your videos, God bless your family.
Important to know that it's not possible pray for some souls, not at all. Only souls of faithful brothers or sisters who had died in the Lord. The whole others souls, who had died with mortal sins , far from of God, they got condemned forever in hell.
Ecclésiastiques 9 vrs 5 and 6 for the living know that they Will die but the dead know not nothing and they have no more reward, their love their hate have perished and forever they have no more share in it that is under the sun. Plz tell me what does this text mean if i am in error i would like to know thanks

@@sharonthompson8061 Thank you....I'm going to start again today
1 John 5:16
16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
Yes, Jesus paid the price, but He also left sufferings for us to make up which were lacking in his, St. Paul says, Col. 1:24. That's our part. Otherwise why would Jesus even tell us to do penance at all? Death is the penalty for sin. If Jesus paid it all, why do we still have to die?
33:36 Thank you for affirming this because I've been thinking about what happens to my prayers for the dead if he/she is in hell. And after much prayers and reflection, it came to me that my prayers won't be wasted but it will be given to someone else in purgatory who needs it.
Maybe you can help me recommend some documents which supports this claim so that I can read it and understand it well just in case someone asks me about it.
Thanks Taylor. Very informative. Great presentation.
It is of faith that those in purgatory can be helped by the prayers and sacrifices of the faithful on earth and especially by the acceptable Sacrifice of the Altar. Though there is no ecclesiastical decision in the matter, it is a common custom to pray [to] the souls in purgatory that they will intercede with us for God.
Thank God I watched this video!
At first I was tempted to dismiss it since I'm 100% convinced about the Sacred Doctrine of Purgatory and I know pretty much all the Theology behind it. But something made me actually go back and watch it. And lo and behold I learned something new in this video...a most straightforward answer to the most common lame argument of protis against Purgatory of "where is that word in the Bible?" I used to answer with counter questions s.a. Where's "Sola Scriptura" or "Holy Trinity"? etc. and the sequential related arguments. Although that is still a correct answer, I just learned that the word Purgatory is actually in the Bible after all...well in one form! In that passage in Corinthian quoted by Dr. Taylor, the original writing for fire is PUR...BINGO!!! So PURgatory is just that place where that "PUR" or purifying fire is found. Soooo the word Purgatory is implied in that passage without a doubt. Thanks for the input Dr. Marshall!
We all pay for our wrong doings. If you a pro abortion and a Catholic and die will you be punished for that or pay your way of of that sinful action through prayers of the living?.. Don't know but the Mexican pagans call it; the day of the dead. Just my common sense thoughts
I became a Catholic because of purgatory belief. My first husband died, father of my son, and this led me to the doctrine of purgatory, a year later I entered the Church
Exceptional video! I found your channel through your educational videos, and am so grateful for them and you! You helped me greatly through my conversion from high church Anglicanism to Catholicism
That’s so great…God bless her! Thanks dr Marshall for helping us love the one true church. viva cristo Rey!
Sir, you are doing great things! God bless and keep you and yours!
We must remember that the Most Blessed Mother does not require us to pray the Holy Rosary in latin.
The HOLY ROSARY is efficacious in any language.
Praying for the dead is an act of Mercy.
Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself tells us...welcome to the Kingdom for I was in prison you visited me.
Being in purgatory is being in prison...as the Holy Scriptures say that one cannot be release from prison until one has paid the last farthing.
One of the conditions for receiving the plenary indulgence for the poor soul is Holy Communion which is in the Luminous Mysteries...the institution of the
Most Blessed Sacrament.
AMDG SAG JMJ SEMPER DEO GRATIAS ET MARIE
I agree and he didn't ask us to say our mass or any prayers in Latin.
God Bless.
No but Latin is a powerful language, it is a holy language and the language of the Church
If we pray from our heart with meaning, whatever language we use becomes powerful. If I went to a Latin mass, I would be praying meaningless words to Christ and he deserves better than that.
If a person is fluent in the language there is nothing wrong with using it.
God bless.

The book of Maccabees makes purgatory so clear. What a great book of the Bible. It is also great how the Maccabee brothers and father loved God above all else and were tough as nails. If they lived today, they would go to a talk by James Martin, Eth Jay, or Pachapapa, to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And they would be all out of bubble gum from the get go.

I do not believe in purgatory. In my opinion It is a contrivance and manipulation of the scriptures to satisfy temporal needs. This is not as bad as believing if you are not catholic you are not saved. We are under the New Covenant. I would rather proclaim the all powerful and all prevailing victory of the Blood of Jesus and all that that means - as if anyone could. I realize that any debate/discussion along these lines usually reduces to a polemic, unfortunately sad but true.
Every night, after praying the Holy Rosary, we also pray the Chaplet of St. Gertrude.
Purgatory is not in scripture and to suggest it is and needed would suggest Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross was not enough to cleanse us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 says “the blood of Christ cleanses is from all sin” not most sin, not many sin, all sins. Repent and trust in Jesus
I have a friend that is a Lutheran, how do I explain they need the books in the OT? Thank you for all you do.
Maybe buy your friend a Catholic Bible as a gift. Encourage your friend to compare the two. 🤗🙏🏻✝️
Purgatory is taught by Jesus I several places. Luke 16 the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man is not in the hell of the damned but rather in Purgatory. Firstly he addresses Abraham respectfully as Father. Then he prays relief for himself. Later he prays for his relatives. Souls in Hell don’t wish salvation for anyone nor do they grow in charity from selfish prayer to selfless prayer. The rich man is in Purgatory to grow in holiness and charity before reaching Heaven. The great chasm is mentioned but in Matt 18 v34 Jesus says: and in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers until he has paid the last penny. Although Jesus doesn’t say the word purgatory He certainly references it. Luke12 the parable of 4 servants. One is lost, one is saved and the other two suffer varying degrees of punishment. Ave Maria.
explain to them the abominations Martin Luther said, you will be shocked beyond belief once you look this up. May God bless his soul
I am an agnostic but you piqued my interest I am becoming interest to explore about God.
Our local priests ought to talk about these in homilies but they are not. I am learning a lot from you here. Thank you Dr. Marshall.
to be fair, that's what the catechism is for - and cradle Catholics learn this in school but I agree, it's not so easy if either you're not paying attention in class or you come to Catholicism as an adult.
Thank you Dr Taylor , you are a blessing teaching us about the purgatory , this will help me to have the scriptures and Biblical teachings and have answers to my Protestants friends they don’t understand, , blessings to your teaching ministry we all need it !
pray for those souls as some day somebody will pray for yours
These are my fave type of Taylor Marshall shows!!
Reason 6: Each of us could be next.
Pray For Souls In Purgatory
There are more souls released from purgatory during the Consecration of the Mass than at any time. Christmas is the day of the year when most souls are delivered; then feast days of Our Lord, Our Lady and great saints. Souls receive much grace from prayers offered for them on their birthdays, day of baptism, anniversary of death.
The more we work for Poor Souls on earth the more others will pray for us, the more merciful will Christ be with us when were in purgatory.
Our Lady asked that we pray very much for the poor souls; that we pray:
5 I believe in God 1 Hail Holy Queen 1 Our Father 1 Hail Mary 1 Glory be to the Father 1 Requiem (Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace. Amen.)
Wow.
Praise the Lord
Amen! Thank you for your broadcast!
You know Protestants are coming to Protest this video!!!
I think they are lost!
@@sharonthompson8061hey I'm lost!!! Lol
I pray for my late wife she died eight years ago . Wonderful woman .
Great video Taylor, I appreciate the ancient history and theological proof as well as the old testament. Those were some of my favorites but I must say that I was very distracted by the chat this time. Too many prideful and uneducated folk.
Wonderful and a man of truth, I tell my beads (Rosary)2. God before you.✝️✝️✝️
Πυρ (read pyr not pour) ....
The correspondent for "u" in Greek is "ού" (omikron, ipsilon). Thank you
Keep up the good work Taylor! I’m a born again Catholic and I to have come across your channel and learned so much. Now I’m a member of the St Thomas institute and learning as much as I can. Thank you!
This is current. Praying for the dead is always current as many are currently suffering in purgatory.
Dr. Marshall I really appreciate these videos they’ve taught me so very much, and I thank you for them! I was just wondering if maybe you can do the Latin prayers a little slower so that we could hear the pronunciation better, it would help a great deal I think to a lot of us. Thank you and God bless you.
you just need to adjust the playback speed, I had it quite slow when I was first learning Latin prayers and now I speed them up a little. 🙂
@@grespinosa Thank you!
My father in law had passed and weeks later came to me in a dream asking for me to pray for him. There was a lot of bad bad drama between us and I was scared. I told him he wasn't supposed to be here but I would say a prayer for him if he left me alone. I never had that dream again. At about the same time, my husband told me he had a dream about his Dad and that he was cussing my husband out. I shared with him what happened to me. We haven't spoken of it since.
Thank God for His Holy gift of Purgatory, it has saved many souls from hell.
So how do you know your love one has made it out of purgatory?
St Paul didn't teach about requirements to get out of purgatory.....
@@michaelciccone2194 I'm aware I hear all this purgatory talk and anti Martin Luther. Yet Noone has any answers.
This is an AWESOME video. God bless Taylor Marshall and his family.
Thank you for your model of true masculinity 💪 ✝️
Dr.Marshall my our lady of Fatima keep you and your family safe!!!
Thank you Dr Marshall for this. I needed a better understanding of purgatory. 📿🙏🏽 and it’s awesome how you back it up by scripture! 73 books in our catholic bible. 7 is for the completion of the inspired word of the 3 trinity
I remember singing the IN PARADISM after funeral masses. It was always sad.Our grade school choir sang all the masses.
I wish people would start to read their bibles. There is NO purgatory no matter what they preach. It's no where to be found in the bible.
Amen Michelle!!!
Father Jackson is a FSSP priest who was arrested last Saturday and is in Jail and unable to post $5,000.00 bail. I am in shock and cannot believe that he is guilty of this. He is the author of’ Nothing Superfluous’. It seems a setup because he spoke and wrote about Mccairick. Please help and keep us informed about him. It is beyond to think that he is guilty of this. You would think that there would be a fund to help!!! Thank you for your help in this matter. 😢🙏🙏
Will be praying for him. It's not always the bad guys that end up in jail. St. John the Baptist, St. Peter. St. Paul...
Where is Father Jackson and what Church?
I hope that is not true.
🙏🏼
@@debcotham489 He is from St Mary’s on the Broadway in Providence, Rhode Island. He was arraigned yesterday before a judge yesterday, has an electronic devise and is going to live with a relative in Kansas until trial. You can read about it in the Providence Journal. He was assigned to RI last summer from CO. He has many UA-cam sermons. 🙏 for the truth.
So happy!!!!! Praise God!!!!
Thank you so much Dr Marshall for this very informative and educational video.
May the blessings of God be upon you and yours.
if anyone has any info on the Dead Sea scrolls on this subject that would be great to know
I am getting ready to convert from a Pentecostal background. I’m 54, and am getting so much from your channel . Thank you! I’m excited to start learning the Latin!
People who claim to be Catholic need to be prepared to explain the truth to any and everyone anytime. This small example is priceless and timeless. Thank you Dr M.
CATECHIZE US!!!🤠
GOD IS SO PERFECT,,,,,,, YES, please pray for the SOULS in Purgatory,,, 🕯️💖🙏✝️🙏💖🕊️
Silly question and I may have missed it but can a non Catholic pray for the souls in purgatory?
Yes. Prayers from the heart are always welcomed. I pray for suicide victims. I also pray for the souls who have been in there the longest, and have no one to pray for them. A sincere pray will not go to waste. If the person you are praying for is already out of Purgatory, it will go to someone who needs prayers.
No, this is pagan worship. Our God is for the living not for the dead.
@@nancybitutu7861
It would appear you have not understood any of what Dr Marshall spoke about.
Your efforts would be more beneficial in converting non believers eg Muslim, Hindu, atheist etc
Take heart that we Catholics believe what Jesus said that no one goes to the Father, except through me.
Not you nor anyone on this earth can say where we are going upon leaving this earth.
Glory to Our Father and Creator
Glory to His Son Jesus Christ
Glory to the Holy Spirit
Amen
I greatly enjoy your theological and liturgical videos.
