STORIES ABOUT PURGATORY & WHAT THEY REVEAL
Author: An Ursuline of Sligo. 169p. PB
This book was written to engrave on the minds and hearts of its readers an indelible understanding about Purgatory—first, that it exists; second, that the souls detained there suffer long and excruciating pains, just like those of Hell, and thus that they desperately need our prayers, suffrages and Mass intentions; and finally, that while we are still living, we ourselves should strive mightily to avoid Purgatory. This book will confirm in the reader’s heart a healthy and holy respect for the sufferings endured by the Holy Souls, such that he will ever after always remember them in his prayers and Masses and will strive to rectify his own life, that he may avoid Purgatory altogether, or at the very worst, spend very little time there and soon be united to God.
