Praying for the Unbaptized

A relative of one of my parishioners died. He was unbaptized. Moved by a feeling of compassion, this woman came to me and asked: how to alleviate his afterlife? Church prayer for the unbaptized is unacceptable. Therefore, I advised her to give alms for the deceased. Namely, soul-saving books. After all, maybe someone, after reading such a book, will accept the Sacrament of Baptism, change their life for the better. And this will be the most charitable sacrifice for the unbaptized deceased. After some time, this woman came to me and told me that she saw the deceased in a dream. He sat and read one of those books that she handed out. So the Lord accepted this sacrifice.” - Archpriest Valentin Mordasov
