Entry 64: The doctrine on the existence of Purgatory...
The doctrine on the existence of Purgatory is revealed in Holy scripture, has been handed down by Tradition, taught by the infalliable Church and believed by millions. Yet, the ideas of many on Purgatory are vague and superficial of this most important subject. The best means of lessening our term in purgatory or avoiding it altogether is to have clear ideas of it; to think well on it and to adopt means God offers for avoiding it. Not to think of it is fatal. Holy Souls repay their benefactors a thousand times over as their dearest sincerest and best friends with their prayer so intense, so great, so constant as their unbounded gratitude to those who help them unable to help themselves. By an amazing dispensation of God's providence. He places in our hands the means of assisting the souls still in purgatory with the power to relieve and even release them. Nothing pleases God more than when we help them.
