What happens to people’s souls when they die? When they die, God takes the souls of the holy people who have lived with kindness and goodness to heaven, to live there forever with God who makes everything holy. Do you know someone who is with God in heaven? The souls of the people who have tried to live as God wanted them to but who at times didn’t, have to wait in purgatory until they have become holy and are ready to be with God. Heaven is full of holiness, because God is there so everyone who goes to heaven needs to be holy. How can you tell a person is holy?

What happens to people’s souls when they die? We call the people who are waiting to go to heaven the ‘holy souls’. We call them ‘holy’ because they have tried hard to live good lives and the waiting time in purgatory and the prayers of people on earth helps to make up for their sins and be ready to be with God who is waiting for them to come to heaven. What do you think God would say to a person when they come in to heaven? In purgatory the holy souls prepare to be with God in heaven forever. No one knows where purgatory is or how long people are there. We do know that the holy souls yearn to be with God and wait patiently to go to heaven. What can we do to help the holy souls in purgatory? C l i c k t h e d o w n - b u t t o n t o m o v e t h e b l i n d d o w n, Click the up-button (appears at bottom) to move the blind to the top.
