Description

Purgatory Explained gives you a glimpse of the final judgment from the lives and legends of the saints. You would never dream so much is known about the state of purification before Heaven! Not only is the basic teaching of the Church given here, but also countless true stories of apparitions and revelations from the lives of St. Margaret Mary, St. Gertrude, St. Bridget of Sweden, the Cure of Ars, St. Lidwina of Schiedam, etc.

Any soul that dies in a state of grace but without sufficient expiation on earth for his or her forgiven sins will experience the punishment and purification of Purgatory before entering Heaven. Father Schouppe presents the ancient Catholic tradition on this aspect of our final judgment. He explains the pains and nature of the punishment for sin experienced there. He also explains how the suffering souls are sometimes allowed to appear on Earth to ask members of the Church Militant for prayer, sacrifices, and Masses for their sake. This book contains many such stories as well as descriptions of apparitions and revelations by Saint Margaret Mary, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Bridget of Sweden, Saint Gertrude the Great, Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Catherine of Genoa, Saint Magdalen de Pazzi, Saint Lidwina of Schiedam, Saint Margaret of Cortona, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and the Curé of Ars. The message of these saints is constant – the souls in Purgatory receive merciful relief from prayers, penance, almsgiving, and especially from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for them. These saints also teach us about the measureless gratitude that these souls hold in their hearts for those who pray for them, gratitude that translates into spiritual favors once these souls reach Heaven.
