    About this ebook

    St. Catherine of Genoa explains purgatory to the reader. She goes over the joys, sorrows, pains and fire that is in purgatory and what the soul is going through while there. It is truly God's love and mercy to allow us this as nothing unclean can enter heaven, so we may have to have a purging as with fire as St. Paul states.
