Thank you, Moniel for this very kind gesture.
I remember when Myrna was caring for her husband, Dennis, and when he died. It is very moving to see where their bodies lie, as they await their resurrection from the grave.

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.

I know of no teaching of the Magisterium along those lines; I believe that this is just the theological consensus.

While not setting out to deal specifically with your question, Mark, Fr. Fenton offers an explanation as to why the Holy Souls cannot pray for themselves:
