I'm a convert to the catholic faith and have loved Natalie Merchant's music since well before that. Today this song is reminding me of the holy souls who are suffering in purgatory. The Word is Jesus Christ made flesh for us and from whom all our relief comes. The Holy Souls suffer because their prayers can no longer help to deliver them from their painful night into His glorious Day...however, our prayers CAN help them, if only we do not turn our heads, indifferent.
