We often have masses said for our deceased friends and relatives, but have you ever considered having a Mass said for someone who is living -- or even for yourself?

00:00 You've heard of having mass said for a loved one who's passed on, but have you considered
00:08 having mass said for someone who's still living?
00:10 This quote is attributed to St. Anselm and he makes a really good point.
00:14 If you think about it, when a mass is said for a soul in purgatory, they're receiving
00:17 those graces passively.
00:19 That is, they can't become holier, but the mass can help decrease their time in purgatory.
00:25 And let this serve as a reminder to get mass said for anyone you love who's passed away.
00:29 But having a mass said for someone who's still living on earth, that can have a huge impact
00:34 on their holiness.
00:35 For those of us still here on earth, we have the ability to continue to grow in holiness
00:39 while we're here and accomplish more merits.
00:42 So let this be your sign.
00:43 Get some masses said for yourself.
00:45 Get some masses said for your loved ones who are here on earth.
