Purgatory Purgatory

Purgatory

PURGATORY
souls who, surprised by death, are not as guilty as to deserve hell, nor good enough to be admitted immediately Heaven must be purified in purgatory.
The existence of Purgatory is defined truth of faith.

1) Sacred Scripture
In the second book of Maccabees (12.43 to 46) is written that Judas, commander in chief of the Jewish troops, after fighting a bloody battle against Gorgias, during the which many of his soldiers were left on the ground, rallied the survivors and offered them to do a collection for the repose of their souls. The harvest of the collection was sent to Jerusalem, because it would offer expiatory sacrifices for that purpose.
Jesus in the Gospel (Matt. 25.26 and 5.26) does refer to this truth when he says that there are two places in the afterlife of punishment: one where the punishment never ends "will go away into eternal punishment" and the other where the punishment is over when all the debt to Divine Justice is paid 'until the last penny. " In the Gospel of St.
Matthew (12:32) Jesus says: "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can not be forgiven either in this world or another." From these words it is clear that in some future life is no remission of sins, which can not be that venial. This waiver shall not take place in Purgatory.
In the first Epistle to the Corinthians (3,13-15) St. Paul says: "If the work of someone will be found deficient, it will be deprived of his wages. But he will be saved at the cross fire. " Even in this passage clearly speaks of Purgatory.

2) the Magisterium of the Church
a) The Council of Trent, in the twenty-fifth session, proclaims: "Enlightened by the Holy Spirit, drawing from the Holy Scriptures and the ancient Tradition of the Fathers, the Catholic Church teaches that there is a "state of purification, purgatory, and souls are held in aid of believers the votes, especially in the Sacrifice at the altar God acceptable "."
b) The Second Vatican Council in the Constitution on the Church - cap. 7 - No 49 'affirms the existence of Purgatory, saying, "Until the Lord comes in his glory and all the angels with Him, and death being destroyed, not will be subjected all things, some of his disciples are pilgrims on earth others, passed from this life, are purified, and others are in glory beholding God. "
c) The Catechism of 5. Pius X, the application 101, replies: "Purgatory is the suffering of the temporary deprivation of God and other penalties that take away from the soul of every other sin to make it worthy to see God."
d) Catechism of the Catholic Church, the numbers 1030 and 1031, said: "Those who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, although they are assured of their eternal salvation, but are subjected, after their death, to a purification, in order to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of Heaven.
The Church calls Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. "

punishments of Purgatory
is certain that the sufferings of Purgatory are so strong and intense that no uomo sarà mai capace con la sua piccola mente di comprenderne l’acerbità. I paragoni e le immagini più vive non possono darcene che una sbiadita figura. San Tommaso d’Aquino, che è sempre così misurato nelle sue parole, dice che «la più piccola pena del Purgatorio sorpassa senza misura la più grande pena di questa vita»

Il Purgatorio nel pensiero di atri Santi

CHE COS'È IL PURGATORIO?

Ogni minima pena del Purgatorio è più grave della massima pena del mondo. Tanto differisce la pena del fuoco del Purgatorio dal nostro fuoco, quanto il nostro fuoco differisce da quello dipinto.

San Tommaso d’Aquino



Dopo la morte, rare le anime che vaimo direttamente in Paradiso: la moltitudine delle altre che muoiono in grazia di Dio deve essere purificata dalle pene acerbissime del Purgatorio.

San Roberto Bellarmino



Il Signore dispone che tante anime facciano il loro Purgatorio in terra e fra noi, sia per istruzione dei vivi, sia a suffragio dei defunti.

San Tommaso d’Aquino

I do not think that after enjoying the happiness of the saints in glory, there is a joy similar to that of the souls in purgatory. It is certain that these souls reconcile two seemingly irreconcilable things: have a total joy and at the same time without suffering many torments that the two things so opposite and exclude you from destroying each other.
St. Catherine of Genoa

OUR VOTES
For four reasons we should meditate on Purgatorio e pregare per le anime purganti.

1. Le pene del Purgatorio sono più acerbe di tutte le pene di questa vita.

2. Le pene del Purgatorio sono lunghissime.

3. Le anime purganti non possono aiutarsi da sé, ma solo noi possiamo suffragarle.

4. Le anime del Purgatorio sono moltissime, vi rimangono lunghissimamente, soffrono pene innumerevoli. San Roberto Belarmino

La devozione delle anime purganti è la migliore scuola di vita cristiana: ci spinge alle opere di misericordia, ci insegna la preghiera, ci fa ascoltare la Santa Messa , accustomed to meditation and penance, urges people to do good works and give alms, do avoid the mortal sin and venial sin, the fear, the sole cause of the permanence of the souls in Purgatory.
San Leonardo da Porto Maurizio

prayer for the dead is more acceptable to God for the living than the dead because they need it and can not help themselves, how can they do instead the living.
St. Thomas Aquinas

For your dead, to show them your love, you offer not only purple, but above all prayers; not only cured the funeral, but suffragateli with alms, indulgences, and works of charity, do not worry only for the building of sumptuous tombs, but especially for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The external manifestations are a relief for you, the spiritual works are a vote for them, they have long awaited and desired.
St. John Chrysostom

is certain that nothing is more effective suffrage and the liberation of souls from the fire of Purgatory, for they offer to God the Sacrifice of the Mass.
San Roberto Belarmino

During the celebration of Holy Mass, how many souls are freed from purgatory! Those for which we are celebrating not suffer from, accelerate their atonement or just fly in heaven, because Mass is the key that opens two doors: one to get out of Purgatory, that of Paradise to enter it forever.
Jerome

Pray always the Blessed Virgin Mary for the souls in Purgatory. Our Lady awaits your prayer to bring God's throne and immediately free the souls for whom you pray.
San Leonardo da Porto Maurizio

Messaggi della Madonna Medjugorje che parlano delle Anime del Purgatorio

Messaggio del 20 luglio 1982 (Messaggio straordinario)

In Purgatorio ci sono tante anime e tra queste anche persone consacrate a Dio. Pregate per loro almeno sette Pater Ave Gloria e il Credo. Ve lo raccomando! Molte anime sono in Purgatorio da molto tempo perche' nessuno prega per loro. Nel Purgatorio ci sono diversi livelli: i pi bassi sono vicini all'Inferno mentre quelli elevati si avvicinano gradualmente al Paradiso .
