November 07, 2011 – Purgatory




Carmelite Conversations show

Summary:  This program covers St Therese's profound teaching on Purgatory.  Begining with a brief explanation of the Church's teaching on Purgatory, in this program we discuss how St Therese taught that we do not necessarily need to go to Purgatory.  She argues there is a way to avoid it, and that is simply to have trust in our loving Father.  Further, she argues, the real path is to simply become love throughout our life.  Then, she says, there is nothing that the flames of purgatory, which are nothing other than the flame of God's Love, can do to us.  For we will have become that very flame of love.
