Purgatory

Více o knize

It is a divine revelation that every soul who dies in a state of grace but without sufficient expiation for forgiven sins must undergo punishment and purification in Purgatory before entering Heaven. Father Schouppe presents the ancient Catholic tradition on Purgatory, detailing its excruciating pains—greater than any earthly suffering—and how these pains are tailored to each individual's past sins. The duration of Purgatory can range from less than a minute to several centuries, reflecting both God's infinite mercy and His justice. God has permitted souls in Purgatory to appear on earth, seeking prayers, sacrifices, and Masses for their relief. The book includes numerous true stories of apparitions and revelations from saints such as St. Margaret Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Thomas Aquinas, highlighting the profound relief that prayers, penance, almsgiving, and especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass provide to these souls. These accounts also reveal the immense gratitude of the souls in Purgatory and the invaluable benefits they bestow upon their benefactors. This work delves deeply into the Faith and is essential reading for every Catholic, especially those with deceased loved ones or who seek to atone for their sins, offering a spiritual investment that yields abundant returns.
