The Story
A young girl makes a simple but self-sacrificing decision: she gives her last penny to have a Mass offered for a soul she prays is closest to Heaven.
As she leaves the church, she meets a mysterious gentleman who gently guides her toward what seems like an ordinary path—yet one that leads to a new home, a new family, and a future she never imagined.
Only later does she discover the truth.
The man she encountered was the very soul released from Purgatory—sent, in gratitude, to help change her life.
