Treatise on Purgatory
'Treatise on Purgatory' Summary
Saint Catherine of Genoa's Treatise on Purgatory delves into the nature and purpose of Purgatory, a place of purification and preparation for souls before they enter Heaven. According to her writings, Purgatory is not a place of punishment but rather a realm of purification, where souls undergo a process of spiritual cleansing and refinement. Catherine emphasizes the intense pain and suffering experienced by souls in Purgatory, but also highlights the hope and longing they hold for redemption and the ultimate vision of God. She stresses the importance of prayer, penance, and acts of charity in aiding the souls in Purgatory and contributing to their eventual liberation.Book Details
