By Fr. Paul O'Sullivan CAN WE AVOID PURGATORY? YES. Many think that it is practically impossible for the ordinary Christian to avoid Purgatory. Go there we all must--so they say. They laughingly remark: "It will be well for us if we ever get there" Alas! When too late they will recognize how terribly rash their words were. As a consequence of such fatalistic ideas, many make no serious effort to avoid Purgatory, or even to lessen the term they may have to pass there. Thank God all do not hold such gloomy views. WE SHALL STRIVE IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES TO SHOW a) How all can notably shorten their period of expiation in Purgatory;
The means we suggest are easy, practical and within the reach of all. Moreover, far from being irksome, the use of these means will only serve to make our lives on this earth holier and happier and will take away the exaggerated fear of death which terrifies so many. We ask you, Dear Reader, to put this little booklet into the hands of all your friends. You cannot do them a greater service.
