Every soul freed by my offerings is one in heaven who will pray for me if I must go to Purgatory. The more friends we have in heaven, the shorter our cleansing period if we must go to Purgatory. But the Church offers many opportunities for gaining plenary indulgences that will help us avoid Purgatory. Also, if we end up in Purgatory, it's always the temporary stop before heaven. It means we're not ending up in hell.<br /><br />Father F.X. Schouppe, S. J. wrote a book titled "Purgatory" that is really helpful. It's available from Amazon. Also, St. Catherine of Genoa wrote about Purgatory in a most consoling way. I agree that priests need to speak about Purgatory a lot more. And about Confession, too.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-8893212796206969882013-06-17T13:48:04.592-07:002013-06-17T13:48:04.592-07:00:):)Melanie Jean Juneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762839203074357706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-76910629296598914192013-06-17T13:47:45.952-07:002013-06-17T13:47:45.952-07:00:):)Melanie Jean Juneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762839203074357706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-34123754521024205092013-06-17T00:55:12.552-07:002013-06-17T00:55:12.552-07:00Thanx Michael.

It's a shame that priests don't use their sermons as an opportunity for teaching. Ours does ... sometimes.<br /><br />God bless you and your family, Mary.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-60325788700590930702013-06-15T17:53:38.257-07:002013-06-15T17:53:38.257-07:00According to some of the saints there are levels o...According to some of the saints there are levels of Purgatory very close to Heaven and they only suffer because of their intense desire to be with God. Purgatory makes sense to me but that doesn't mean I want to go there :) God is purifying us here on earth too so it's possible that the job could be done before we die. <br /><br />I really like Melanie's comment! <br /><br />God bless you, Victor!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-17782144827479452622013-06-15T12:58:29.804-07:002013-06-15T12:58:29.804-07:00I agree Colleen.
