The apostle Paul said, “TO BE SBSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD”. Since God never contradicts himself, if the words in the Catholic Bible were inspired by God then it would also be found in the Bible. God Is Not The Author of Confusion”. Both can not be correct.

I love the meanings behind the numbers.
Thank you all whom have studied ,recieved true insites, and sharing the differences without malice towards individual beliefs.

What is the difference? Why not an even two weeks. What is the significance of the number nine? I understand a novena is nine. Why nine days

People need to read and search the Word themselves!! Please everyone read the Bible yourself, never take someone’s information and run with it! Don’t be deceived! There is one way to heaven!!!!
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6
It is a personal relationship with Jesus! No other way!

After death a soul is immediately assaulted by the armies of the Prince of the Power of the Air who seek to drag that soul into Hell. Thankfully, the angels also come to guard the soul and to protect it long enough for a legal battle to be waged for that soul. This battle is done in stages as the soul passes through the Toll Houses. At each stage the soul is presented with its sins related to that toll. In response to this prosecution, the angels defend with the good deeds of repentance, faith, charity, etc. During each toll, a soul may be lost, or may choose its bosom companions, the long loved sins of its life, and be taken to Hell. God is the judge who decides if a soul is to be taken to heaven, or to be delivered to Hell. The greatest defense the angels can provide is the prayers of those left behind. That is the meaning and import of the 9 and forty days. This is the crucible, when the soul is absolutely known to be passing through the toll houses, and when they need our love the most.

But please don’t take my word for it. The definitive work on the subject is “The Departure of the Soul” by St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery.
