St. Catherine of Genoa: Purgatory and the Afterlife 

She is my patron Saint for this year (2024). And I have to admit that it makes perfect sense. I still have to read her works. The thing that I realized through my own conversion is that purgatory is in the flame of love that burns in you. When you see how much Jesus loves you and how much he suffered for you and that he would do it again and again for you, that burns in your soul and you want to become a saint. So I can very much understand that St. Catherine of Genua interpreted her fever of the last years as her purgatory from within on this earth. And: yes, the purgatory is surely the justice of God. If he is just we also have to get a little part to suffer for what we did wrong. And I really have to say: I wish everyone who hurt me a really profound conversion and a good purgatory. Like this it’s the only way they understand how hurtful they were. And I wish the same for those who I love a lot. I want them to become as saintly as possible because that is the greatest joy. Nevertheless we have to undergo the purgatory. So I think it muss geht be better to undergo it in phases now. As we still get some relief and oases. In the purgatory after death we will have to go through it without oases.

❤😇 thanks for sharing this information. God bless you.
