And Then There Is Purgatory


(Image source: Wikimedia Commons)

An infinite number of souls who suffer in Purgatory and for whom the Church prays daily after consecration did not need to go there.  If we think in human terms, God does not wish for us to need Purgatory.  God does not put us here on earth, where we are tested and are suffering after the fall, only to let us suffer again – and much worse – in Purgatory.  Everyone receives enough graces in order to go straight to God after passing the trials on earth.  However, Purgatory is an emergency entry to Heaven for those who have wasted their time.

Don't Stay As Your Are!

…The Lord accepts us just as we are…After the Lord accepts us as we are, He refuses to accept our staying as we are.   He calls us to repentance and growth in holiness…The Lord invites everyone to His wedding banquet. All are to come as they are, but not stay as they are.   We must put on the wedding garment of righteousness and holiness, or we will be bound and thrown ‘out into the night to wail and grind our teeth’ (Matthew 22:13). Come as you are to no longer be as you are!   One Bread, One Body – January 15, 2000
