Regrets About a Loved One Who Died? Padre Pio Said You Can Still Make Amends

Regrets About a Loved One Who Died? Padre Pio Said You Can Still Make Amends

Do you carry a regret toward someone you loved who is no longer here? A phone call you never made, words you never said, a goodbye that never happened. Padre Pio said it is not too late: our prayer for the dead can reach even their last hour, because for God the past does not exist and everything is an eternal present.

In this video we look at the conversation in which Padre Pio explained to a doctor how we can still pray today for the “good death” of someone who died years ago; what the Church teaches about Gethsemane, through Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor and Pope Francis’s Dilexit Nos; whether our departed hold our failings against us; and three concrete things you can do for them, including the plenary indulgence for the souls of the faithful departed from November 1 to 8.

Write in the comments the name of the loved one you want to entrust to God, and we will remember them together in prayer.
