What Does Dreaming of a Deceased Loved One Mean?: The Spiritual Teachings of Padre Pio

Before making decisions:

Invoke Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Michael the Archangel.

Ask the Lord to free you from all deception, fear, or confusion.

The Church forbids seeking contact with the dead through witchcraft, spiritism, or mediums.

The correct Christian attitude is to entrust the experience to God and ask for protection, not to open doors to the occult.

3. Make an initial offering for that soul

If you sense that the deceased needs help, don’t wait:

Pray an Our Father, a Hail Mary, or a brief prayer for their soul right then and there.

Say to the Lord: “Jesus, if this soul needs me, here I am. I offer you this prayer for their rest.”

That small, immediate act is a “yes” to grace.

4. Triple suffrage: Mass, Rosary, and charity

Padre Pio considered the Holy Mass the greatest treasure for the souls in purgatory.

You can:

Request that a Mass be celebrated for that person at your parish.

Offer the Mass you attend yourself for their eternal rest.

Pray the Rosary for that soul, especially the Sorrowful Mysteries.

Add an act of charity or penance:

giving alms,

visiting the cemetery to pray,

a short fast offered for the deceased.

The Church’s tradition has always proposed prayer, sacrifice, and charity as effective intercessions for the dead.

5. Persevere with a novena

If the dream was very intense or recurred several times, you can:

Pray a nine-day novena for that soul.

Say a short prayer for the deceased each day.

Offer small acts of self-denial as a sign of love.

Persistence in prayer transforms the initial unease into a confident peace.

6. Seal a pact of mutual prayer
