Death cannot destroy the love your loved ones bore for you in life;
but that affeion is now sweeter, purer, more constant.
United with God in Heaven, or offering atonement to Him
in Purgatory, they love us with a deeper, everlasting love.
Pray for them!

When we love, we remember and this memory, the effect of love, is
not a barren thought. It resolves itself into DEEDS for the Loved One. They
are at peace for they have escaped Hell forever. But, they are sentenced
for a time to expiating fire. Behold their plight and helplessness. Listen
to their lamentations. In sympathy and charity, hasten to their assistance.
Through Fr. Ivan Kolodiy in the Ukraine, we can arrange the Gregorian
Masses for your departed Loved One. Thirty days of uninterrupted Sacred
Requiem Masses will be offered in the ancient Rite of the Byzantine
Order, unchanged by time and circumstances. The poor village
priests who offer these Masses are very much helped by your stipends
in order to pay for food and medications, heat their churches and help
feed their poor.
