Sang ayon sa ating mga kinagisnang kaugalian, ang mga patay ay may mass offering tuwing Undas (all Saints Day)   subalit ang mga nasa kasulatan, sang ayon sa Ecclesiastes 9:5, ang patay ay patay na at wala nang magagawa sa sarili, walang consciousness.

Kung gusto mong gumawa ng mabuti at maligtas (paggawa ng mabuti ang tanging paraan para maligtas) ay ngayon na.  Hindi kung ikaw ay patay na.

Should a Christian Pray for the Dead From Church of Great God.

But Catholics maintain the tradition of praying for the dead, even immediately after death, there are novnas for hte dead.   It is not only a prayer for the dead but a form of worship.

From Catholic News Herald. - Why do Catholics pray for the dead?

PRAYING WITH THE DYING
As death approaches, the Church stays close to the one who is dying, to give comfort and support. The family should ask that Communion be brought to the dying (this is called “Viaticum, Latin for “food for the journey”).
Members of the local church may wish to join the family in a vigil of prayer. After the person’s death, the family is encouraged to continue praying, and to participate in the preparation of the vigil (wake) and funeral liturgies.
The following prayer may be recited with a dying person, alternating with times of silence. The Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be are also appropriate. The dying person may also be signed on the forehead with the cross, as was done at baptism.
Holy Mary, pray for me.
St. Joseph, pray for me.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, assist me in my last agony.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH
The following prayer may be recited immediately after death and may be repeated in the hours that follow:
V. Eternal rest grant unto him (her), O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon him (her).
V. May he (she) rest in peace.
R. Amen.
V. May his (her) soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.

AT THE GRAVESIDE
O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, send your holy Angel to watch over this grave.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
