SAYANG LANG BA ANG PRAYERS NATIN PARA SA SOULS WHO ARE ALREADY SAVED IN HEAVEN OR LOST FOREVER IN HELL?

Dormition of Mary in Medieval Art. Here the Apostles were shown not only venerating her body but also praying for the Eternal Repose of her soul even though they knew that she is the holiest of them all.

Father good pm ask ko lang po di yung mga nasa heaven they do not need yung prayers natin and also yung nasa hell kasi wala ng magagawa sa kanila yun. question is pano tayo makakasure na yung pinag pray natin is wala sa hell and if ever na nasa hell sya meanig to say sayang lang yung pagdarasal natin sa kanya? and how we can know na yung tao na pinag pray natin is wala na sa purgatory? thanks God bless

WE DON'T NEED TO BE SURE WHERE THEY ARE. WE ARE PRAYING TO GOD WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH. IF THE SOUL IS IN HELL THEN OUR PRAYER IS EFFECTIVE NOT FOR THAT SOUL IN HELL BUT FOR OUR SOUL WHO IS GENEROUS IN PRAYING FOR THE DEAD. THE SAME FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN HEAVEN. OUR PRAYER FOR THEM WILL NO LONGER BE NECESSARY FOR THEM BUT GOD WILL LOOK AT IT AS A MANIFESTATION OF OUR CHRISTIAN CHARITY... OF OUR LOVE FOR NEIGHBOR. THUS, IN BOTH CASES IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR OUR SOUL ALSO. IF THE SOUL IS IN PURGATORY OUR PRAYER WILL BE EFFICACIOUS FOR THAT SOUL AND EFFICACIOUS FOR OUR SOUL ALSO SINCE WE ARE DOING ACTS OF CHARITY.
