Part 1, Chapter 17: Pains of Purgatory - Blessed Quinziani - The Emperor Maurice
"The natural conclusion which follows from these terrible manifestations of Divine Justice is that we must hasten to make satisfaction for our sins in this life. Surely a criminal condemned to be burned alive would not refuse a lighter pain, if the choice were left to him. Suppose it should be said to him, You can deliver yourself from that terrible punishment on condition that for three days you fast on bread and water; should he refuse it? He who should prefer the torture of fire to that of a light penance, would he not be regarded as one who had lost his reason? Now, to prefer the fire of Purgatory to Christian penance is an infinitely greater folly."
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."
Please remember to pray for all who made these information (meditations, sermons, audio) available to you.
