Souls in purgatory can pray for the Church Militant, but they can't pray for their own souls. This is why they need our prayers so much.
Yes, this was what I thought was the case.

I got a kick out of Myrna. I remember thinking her children were lucky. For some reason I recall her answers to some questions in the anonymous section way back:

1. When you were a teenager were kids as mean as they are today? Was there a kid in your class with really bad acne who the girls would make fun of?


2. When you were a kid were candy bars and sweets better than today?


3. When you were a kid was Frank Sinatra the biggest musical star?


4. When you were a kid did you ever imagine what America might be like in the future? If so, what did you imagine it would be like?


5. What was your favorite movie that you saw in the fifties?


6. Is your favorite color purple or green?



Roscoe, I didn't see the question, so how could I answer.
1.  I always seemed to side with the underdog, even as a teen, and yes some were mean but not to the point of killing each other.

2.  Candy bars were bigger than today, even 5 years ago they were bigger.
     They were always good and you could buy one for a nickle when I was about the age of 10.

3.  I was never into stars that much, but mine was Jimmy Dean, and yes, Frank Sinatra was big, my mother and her lady friends always talked about him.  

4.  My favorite T.V. show was Flash Gordon, so that is what I imagined.  

5.  In the fifties, my favorite movie was Wizard of Oz because it started out black and white and turned into color, I loved that part.  I Love Lucy, (T.V,)  

6.  Actually my favorite color is peach, I know that because whenever I have a choice of colors and one is peach, that is what I choose.

I finally was able to make a trip to Spokane today from the Tri-Cities.  After visiting family plots at Holy Cross (where my own space is) I went up to Mount St. Michaels and visited their cemetery.  

Since 1915 The Mount had been the Scholasticate for the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus, and subsequently was acquired by the CMRI.  My father's cousin was the rector there in the late 1950's - early 1960's.  Adjacent to the grounds is the Jesuit cemetery (distinct from the CMRI chapel cemetery) and I was able to say a prayer of thanksgiving at the grave of Father Francis X. Bisciglia, SJ, who baptized me on July 29, 1951 at St. Joseph's in Seattle.

I was also able to visit the Lourdes Grotto there https://www.stmichaels.org/chapel-grounds/lourdes-grotto
(the patroness of the Diocese of Spokane) and the book and religious articles shop, which is very nice.  I need to visit their museum on a subsequent trip.  If anyone is ever in the Spokane area a visit to The Mount is worthwhile, regardless of one's "position on the state of the Church".

I laid some flowers at this grave on behalf of the Catholic Info community.

Does anyone know when the Magisterium first stated that the Church Suffering may pray for others, but not for themselves? I recall the distinction from grammar school, but was not at the time curious about the details.
