When we ask Our Lady to pray for the souls of Purgatory, she does so, and God's purifying grace is poured upon them like a soothing balm
Beyond worshippers and Angels, there was a parting of the veil; thousands of Holy Souls were praising the Father, through Christ.

The Holy Souls, together with the angels, worship with us at Mass
Begging help for a departed soul, I saw our Blessed Lady hold out Her hands, leaning over the 'edge' of Heaven, drawing him up to glory.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, prays for us continually, and helps those we entrust to her care, including the Holy Souls
Many persons travel together towards Heaven. Each earthly or spiritual Mother can usher wounded souls, to the place of rebirth and reconciliation.
Departed souls who have been faithful yet who now undergo purification, are yet at peace, suffering gladly, to be worthy of God.
The souls of Purgatory keep themselves at a distance from God, for the moment, because of their shame and sorrow

The 'Loss of God' felt by Holy Souls is caused by their sins, which obscure the beautiful and warming sight of God.
We can offer up our sufferings in union with Jesus in His Passion, to comfort Him, and to help other souls. Every suffering in our lives can be offered up, united with Jesus in that same type of suffering in His own life: our fear united to His in Gethsemane; our being misunderstood, with Jesus deserted by His Apostles; our grief, with Jesus weeping for Lazarus; our fear of evil forces, with Jesus being tempted by Satan.
Just as a lack of a balanced diet can cause sickness and even deformity in children, so a lack of the fullness of truth (where a distorted Christian message is heard, or where Orders are not valid) can lead to 'deformity' or 'sickness' in souls, even when they have good-will.

God gazes into our souls as if into a rock-pool; through clear water He glimpses Christ, the foundation. But the 'mud' of sin obscures His view.
Christ is at work with His saints, like builders preparing a building site, preparing our souls for lives of true holiness.
One whose soul is wholly dedicated to God sends a great fire of praise up to Heaven; 'lesser' souls contain a smaller flame.
The painful purification which souls undergo in this life (if they consent) is like the pains of Purgatory, before 'birth' into Heaven.
Some souls who - through their actions - find themselves clinging at the brink of doom, are rescued by prayer.
Just as Christ bore suffering as punishment for others, so it is with us, who can help other souls by our patient acceptance of suffering.
