| souls in heaven Question from lt on 12-28-2012: |
You wrote about degrees in heaven and some being able to be closer to God. My father passed away and I believe he has passed purgatory and is now in heaven. If I continue praying for his soul, will he get closer to God in heaven? |

No. The degree of happiness we experience in Heaven is based upon our degree of
charity! Which is fixed forever at the moment the soul departs the body. Father Echert www.ewtn.com |
