Many released from Purgatory on All Souls’Day

It is important to repeat why I am running this series on the historical Manuscript of Purgatory (used to be known as Unpublished Manuscript of Purgatory): to rev up belief in life after death, a morale booster in these times of apocalyptic prophecies. It is also an antidote to the precept “Life is short, ” a modern, diabolically backed prescription for hedonism that junks the Credo's “life everl ast i ng.”

I have been shearing off the Manuscript to share only the relevant disclosures, leaving aside those which pertain only to the personal life of Sister Mary of the Cross (whom I suspect to be one of the visionaries of the Church-approved La Salette Marian apparitions.) Again, it should be noted that the Manuscript bears the official imprimatur and nihil obstat of Church authorities.

This series is made more timely by the approaching All Souls’Day in November.

So we continue with the conversation between living Sister Mary of the Cross (Q) and the deceased Sister Mary Gabriel (A) who was then still in Purgatory.

Q: What happens when a soul goes straight to Heaven?

A: For that soul, its union with Jesus continues after death. That is Heaven, but the union in Heaven is much closer and more intimate than that of earth.

Q: Tell me, in what does

true sanctity consist?

A:...True sanctity consists in renouncing oneself from morning to night, in being a living sacrifice, in constantly putting aside the human self, in allowing God to work in and with you as He pleases, to receive the graces He sends you with profound humility, recognizing yourself quite unworthy of them, to live as constantly as possible in the Divine Presence, to perform all your actions under the eye of God, wanting Him only to be the witness of your efforts and your only reward.
