St. John Vianney is here and says: “Praise be to Jesus.”
“My brothers and sisters, priests must not be pressured into honoring the dead as already reaching their sainthood. Priests, indeed, have a solemn responsibility to encourage prayer for the faithful departed. Many souls are in Purgatory very close to their release, but no one offers prayer or sacrifice for them. In fact, this is fast becoming a thing of the past.”
“Tonight I'm imparting to you my Priestly Blessing.”
