Books Descriptions
It is a fact of divine revelation that the soul of every person who dies in
the state of grace, but without having made sufficient expiation on earth
for his forgiven sins, will undergo the punishment and purification of
Purgatory before entering Heaven. In this fascinating book, Father
Schouppe presents the ancient Catholic tradition on Purgatory, explaining
how its pains are excruciating?greater than any suffering known on earth,
how they are adapted to the past sins of each individual soul, how they can
vary in duration from less than one minute to a period of several
centuries, and how they manifest the infinite mercy of God no less than
His justice. On many occasions God has allowed souls in Purgatory to
appear on earth to plead for prayers, sacrifices, and Masses for their
relief; in Purgatory Explained the reader will find scores of true stories
of apparitions and revelations on Purgatory taken from the lives of St.
Margaret Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Bridget of Sweden,
