What is Purgatory?

We all want to be saints, but the struggle against sin and
selfishness can feel overwhelming. There may be days where we might
feel satisfied simply making it to purgatory rather than entering
the pearly gates. But is this lukewarm path the only way to make it
to heaven? Today Fr. Mike delves into the reality that in this
life, we are given every opportunity to prepare our souls for God’s
presence. Embracing the sufferings of this moment purifies us the
way the refining fire of purgatory would. In this way, we can
prepare ourselves in this temporary world to live alongside our
Lord in the everlasting world.
