Description

Is Purgatory almost like Hell? Or is it a place of peace and even joy? The famous Fr. Faber explains both of these classic Catholic views, basing his discussion on Catholic teaching and the revelations of saintly souls, especially St. Catherine of Genoa, in her Treatise on Purgatory.

Father Faber discusses whether it is better to pray for the conversion of sinners or to pray for the Souls in Purgatory. He discusses how praying for the poor souls shows our love of Jesus and why it is so effective for the souls who receive the benefits of our prayers. Father Faber discusses how the Poor Souls tenderly love God and are loved by Him, how they yearn for unity with God and for purification. He describes the suffering of the Poor Souls: their pain of loss, their pain of sense, and their helplessness, along with the consolations that God gives them in His mercy: the joy of knowing they are destined for the Beatific Vision, hope in the grace of Jesus, and the help of the angels as well as of our own prayers for them.

Praying for these souls also benefits us as well. Discover how praying for the Poor Souls increases our fear of offending God, increases the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, and other beautiful effects this work of mercy has on us.

Father Faber also discusses other elements of the Four Last Things, such as how the fear of Hell helps to save souls.
