Since we all pray for people to ease our suffering on earth — I know I posted a prayer thread for myself for my hip replacement surgery — doesn’t it make perfect sense to pray for those souls who are suffering in Purgatory?

See my post #82. Your suffering after your hip replacement was not therapeutic. If anything, it hinders recovery. Suffering in Purgatory, according to Catholics, is therapeutic. An appropriate prayer, then, would be that a full, therapeutic dose of suffering be applied.
