"The Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux on Purgatory," by Father Hubert Van Dijk, ORC

In honor of the feast of All Souls, please visit "The Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux on Purgatory," translated from the German.  This article was posted in English thanks to the Web site of the Secular Franciscan Order, and, of course, St. Therese's mother, Zelie Martin, was a secular Franciscan.  Read about Therese's belief that it was not necessary to pass through purgatory; she believed that the purifying fires of divine love were all-sufficient.
