LXXVIII. Quod auimabus defunctorum sancta opera vivcntium succurrunt.
But for the souls that are not forgotten, but exist in the memory of heavenly bliss, the prayers and almsgiving, as well as other works of holiness from the living, help them, and they receive the remedy of salvation from these, while they are in the pains of purification.
Read the original Latin
Sed et animabus, quae in oblivione non sunt, sed quae in memoria supernae beatitudinis existunt, orationes et eleemosinae ac alii sanctitatis labores viventium succurrunt, et ipsis reraedium salutiferae ereptionis afierunt, dum in poenis purgationum sunt.
