Tales From the Beyond | FORWARD BOLDLY

In this special Halloween episode, I analyze ghostly footage and discuss encounters with the preternatural, and what they reveal about ghosts, demons and the souls in Purgatory.

November is the month of the Holy Souls. You can obtain special indulgences for souls in Purgatory! Please take advantage of this opportunity, as the poor souls are suffering and will be eternally grateful to you for your help, and will repay your kindness with their own prayers for you, and will come to your aid at the time of your death:

From Nov. 1-8, you can help release a soul from Purgatory each day by doing the following:

1. Visit a cemetery and offer prayers for departed souls. These can include the Divine Mercy chaplet, the "Eternal Rest" prayer, Psalm 130 or other prayers. Also offer prayers for the pope (an Our Father and Hail Mary may suffice).

2. On All Soul's Day (Nov. 2), you also have the option of visiting a church and praying the Our Father and the Creed.

3. Go to confession within 20 days (before or after) of your visit to the cemetery or church.

4. Receive Holy Communion on the day of your visit.

5. Have no attachment to sin. If any attachment remains, it will be a partial rather than a plenary indulgence.

About Stella Maris Media

Illustration of Our Lady, Star of the Sea (Stella Maris)

Our vision

The name Stella Maris has its roots in a 5th-century translation by St. Jerome of the Hebrew name for Mary, Miryam. Originally written as Stilla Maris, it meant "Drop of the Sea." Through what likely stemmed from a transcription error, this evolved into Stella Maris, which means "Star of the Sea."

This title has been cherished in Catholic tradition, especially among seafarers before modern navigation, as they relied on the stars to guide them. Notably, the North Star, Polaris, was also known as Stella Maris.

Beyond just seafarers, Stella Maris serves as a beacon for all of life’s travelers, illuminating the darkness and offering hope as it cuts through the fog, guiding us toward the bright shores of eternity.

"Bringing hope to a world in need."
