It is good to pray for the dead. We can help holy souls in Purgatory suffer less. Praying for the dead has always been a Catholic practice. For example, in 2 Timothy 1:18, St. Paul prays for Onesiphorus, who has died.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, "Our prayers and good works on behalf of the souls in Purgatory help them be cleansed more quickly from their venial sins and the left-over temporal punishment due to sin. Once in Heaven with Our Lord, they also remember us gratefully and pray for us in return." (from paragraphs 1030-1032)
The prayer on the back of this beautiful card is from St. Gergrude the Great, and it is said it was given by her to Jesus, who told her souls in Purgatory would have their pain eased by saying it. October is the month of Holy Souls in Purgatory. (As a note, all the souls in Purgatory are holy and on their way to eventually being in Heaven.)
As with this and all of our images, you may have a custom holy card made with a personalized back printed for you. For funerals, it is hard sometimes to get them to you in time. If you and I both focus and work qucikly, which we can, then you'll ahve them in about two weeks after ordering, possibly less.

Thank you for your interest.
