WEEKLY RELFECTION
What is purgatory? Why do Catholics believe in it, rather than just heaven and hell?
03-26-2023Fr.

And while these concepts are clear in the Gospels and easy to understand, there wasn’t much specific instruction for who goes where, other than the judgment scenes found in Matthew (24), Mark (13), and Luke (21) – “whatever you did for the least of my people, that you did to me.”
