It often happens that our loved ones live and die not in a Christian way, without parting words by a priest before their death. The remaining relatives on earth often worry about their souls, not knowing if they can help the dead and how to do it. The Holy Fathers spoke of the possibility and necessity of commemorating the departed from ancient times, and their instructions came to us. This brochure contains instructions from the Holy Scriptures and instructions from the Fathers and Teachers of the Church regarding the afterlife of the dead, about the salvation and great mutual benefits of the various commemorations of their loved ones who have passed away from this life.
