Summary: There is always hope.
Comment: In reading this book (3X's) I must say that it truly shows God's love for us. This book is not written to convert those non-believers but rather to show God's infinite wisdom, and his knowledge of human weekness. Although it is frightning at times in the first half of the book, the second half is truly uplifting! If you read this book pray that the Holy Spirit guides you through and that you will truly be touched....

Summary: Comprehensive Description of the Place.
Comment: "Purgatory"; "Explained By The Lives And Legends Of The Saints", by Fr. F.X. Schouppe, S.J. Tan Books, Rockford, Illinois.
This book received its IMPRIMATUR on October 11, 1893, so these writings of the Jesuit priest, F.X. Schouppe, are more than a century old. Fr. Schouppe collected and compiled the descriptions of Purgatory as recorded in the lives of saints and various holy people. Some of the saints are well known (St. Catherine of Genoa and St. Gertrude) while others are less familiar, e.g. St. Odilo, or, for example, Blessed Stephana Quinziani. The book is divided into two parts, "Purgatory: the Mystery Of God's Justice" and "Purgatory: the Mystery Of God's Mercy". If you read only the first part, it would, in my opinion, be very easy to lose hope. The suffering of the souls in Purgatory is real and they suffer for great things and for the least little offense. The Foreword, selected from St. Matthew's Gospel, makes Fr. Schouppe's point,
"... that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render
an account for it in the day of judgment" Matt. 12:36.
The second part of the book, written, you will recall, before the 20th Century St. Faustina was born, is called "Purgatory: the Mystery Of God's Mercy" and the good Jesuit author makes the point that God's charity will not be out done. In this second part of the book, as in the first, the author relates examples of "... how efficacious are the smallest prayers, the shortest supplications, to alleviate the sufferings of the poor souls". P.237. Schouppe gives examples of the efficacy of, first of all, The Mass, and then, the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross, in the relief of the suffering of souls in Purgatory. This book presents some frightening aspects of the punishment in Purgatory, thereby providing motivation for good works in this life and the earning of indulgences.
Read this book to learn about Purgatory, the place.

Summary: Everyone who is a Catholic should read this book . . .
Comment: After reading this book I can honestly say that it the best and most informative piece of information I have encountered on the subject. This is a must read for every Catholic and for anyone else who believes that there is a God and that we must be in a state of grace before we see Him. For the first time purgatory makes sense and for the first time I believe I have a much truer understanding of just what it is I have to do before my life ends here on this earth. Additionally, the book also covers the topic of why it is so important to pray for our dead and there is a section of appropriate prayers in this book as well. And for those who may be wondering, it is marked "Nihil Obstat" and "Imprimatur" thus making it a reliable source for those seeking aunthentic Catholic teachings.
