Mrs. Sadiler comes from an earlier time but she did a wonderful job correlating everything together still just as useful today as in 19th Century as when first published.
She starts out with a theological overview of what the teachings of the Church are on Purgatory. It is not just her writings but writings of theologians through the centuries.
She also goes through historical references to Purgatory and similar "in between" places throughout the world. Including several native tribes, Buddhists and other east Asian cultures, as well as the European anchinest and Jews around the time of Christ.
She ends with poetical writings including prayers for the deceased. And even exerts from Dante.
Lots of recommendation on why and how to pray for your dead. Both those you have loved and those you have not known. Protestant and Catholic. It connects you to your loved ones, gives hope for the hopeless, and shows that not all is lost. The fire cleanses and that's a good thing.
Regardless of your religious faith I highly recommend this book.… (más)
