It is. All who have the Catholic faith believe in prayer for the dead. It is not a doctrine for the laity only. And I sincerely hope that friends will pray for me and have Masses offered on my behalf when God has taken me from this world. I shall need them. Nothing defiled will enter heaven, and if at death one’s soul is not absolutely perfect in virtue proportionately to the grace it has received, it is defiled by imperfection of some sort. “If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 Jn. I., 8. Masses and prayers offered for me after my death will help to expiate such imperfections as I unfortunately possess.
