Conference On Purgatory
1st Friday November 2012
The Holy Souls in Purgatory experience eviternity, or what is called discontinuous time, which is that time which measures the change in a soul. God lives in a reality independent of time, and one might say that the souls in Purgatory live in a reality between time and eternity. If one dies without being completely prepared, the presence of God would be too intense for the soul to endure. It must first be purified completely before seeing God, and this is the reason for Purgatory. The joy experienced in Purgatory is like the joy of Heaven amidst suffering.
