Welcome to Episode 31 of Among Women \\u201cEspresso Shot\\u201d
\\u2013 a short strong coffee break of faith sharing and teaching from Pat Gohn.

Today\\u2019s topic: Praying for the Souls in Purgatory

This is the 11th installment in a 12-part series on the monthly church devotions. In November we are called to pray for the holy souls \\u2014 the faithful departed \\u2014 as they move toward purification and the perfection of Heaven. While the Church does has All Souls day as a memorial, traditionally on Nov. 2 every year, the truth is that the entire month is dedicated to praying for souls.

In this podcast I\\u2019ll offer a brief teaching on the hopeful truth of purgatory, and the benefits of praying for souls. And of course we\\u2019ll pray together at the end \\u2014 for the many souls that might benefit from our prayers!
