'A person may say I am not much concerned how long I stay in purgatory, provided I may come to eternal life. Let no one reason thus. Purgatory fire will be more dreadful than whatever torments can be seen, imagined, or endured in this world. He who is afraid now to put his finger into the fire, does he not fear lest he be then all buried in torments for a long time?'

I think that prayer would be good here Brigid!

All the more reason for wearing the Brown Scapular and doing those little devotions with promises attached.

Judging from what the saints say we should be striving to avoid purgatory completely. Praying daily for the holy souls is such an act of mercy that will benefit our own souls if we have to go there.

Amen! Amen!

To gain mercy, show mercy!
