I ask this question to my fellow Catholics ONLY:
An acquaintance of mine recently passed away from cancer. She knew the Lord at the end of her life, but I don't know for how long. I have been praying for her soul just in case she is in purgatory. Besides offering masses, what are some other effective means for obtaining her release?
| Mt 18:12-14 | ||

| # | Douay-Rheims | Vulgate |
| 12 | What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? | quid vobis videtur si fuerint alicui centum oves et erraverit una ex eis nonne relinquet nonaginta novem in montibus et vadit quaerere eam quae erravit |
| 13 | And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. | et si contigerit ut inveniat eam amen dico vobis quia gaudebit super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem quae non erraverunt |
| 14 | Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. | sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum qui in caelis est ut pereat unus de pusillis istis |
