Dante believes that prayers for the dead can help them in Purgatory because he views prayer as a form of intercession that can alleviate a soul's suffering and expedite its journey towards salvation. In Dante's theology, the power of prayer can counterbalance the weight of a soul's sins and facilitate its purification in Purgatory.

What would you do if someone you known Committed Suicide?
. We cannot know the final disposition for anyone's soul before God. All we can do is trust in the mercy of God and pray for that person. There have been a few revelations to people of persons who committed suicide, in the two that I can think of, one was a young girl who appeared to her friend who had been praying for her, she told her to not pray for her as she was in hell. The other was Our Blessed Lady revealing to a mother that her son had repented with his dying breath and would be in purgatory for the rest of the time so he was in desperate need of prayers. We should commend these souls to God and pray for their release from purgatory. All prayers offered for the dead are used by God. If the person has no need of our prayers, then God uses them for someone who does need our prayers. Prayers for the dead are never "wasted."

Why do Catholics pray for nine days when they have a death in the family?
A novena is a prayer said for 9 days in a row. This may be applied to the dead in order that if they are in purgatory, they will be released to heaven. The souls in purgatory cannot pray for themselves. There are a variety of novenas, such as, to the Holy Spirit, to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, and various saints.AnswerAlthough we should pray for anyone who has died for at least nine days, we have no idea how long anyone may be in purgatory, so we should never give up praying for all our dead - and most especially for our living relatives, as our prayers are much more effective for them while they are still alive!
