e family to remember them. The Church by traditions accepts masses for the souls of the dead on the day of burial, seven days, month , year, second and third year, After that period there is no preference offered by the church in accepting such prayers, and the second intentions no remuneration is accepted By the way at all daily masses and after very decade of Rosary, the dead are regularly remembered, Besides on all souls day in particular the souls in purgatory are being remembered and prayed for Is it correct position that when we offer masses in specific names ? n some Churches names of dead souls are not announced at all before the beginning of Eucharistic celebrations. Is not b advisable that the sacrifice of the mass is offered to the souls in purgatory in general? If every time when we participate in the Holy Eucharist can we not offer for such intention? The rosary and other structured and spontaneous prayers, sacrifices et can be not be offered for such intentions? Can we not offer regular charity to the needy and deserving with the same intentions? Do the souls in purgatory appear and request for hundred of masses for their deliverance? The mass stipend as we understand is only for the maintenance of the priest and no value can be attached to it I wish some can explain the length of time after the death the masses are to be offered in general .Is it guilt and fear of retribution that makes relatives resort to this practice out of guilt complex ? Many are of the firm belief that unless we pay the stipend it is not valid sacrifice .There are instances, when these paid mass offerings are not said for many years for one reason or other Can we not have faith in the merciful Lord to be just and fair.
