For which one of us loves the Lord our God with <em>all <\/em>our heart, <em>all<\/em> our mind, and <em>all<\/em> our soul? To withold one&#8217;s heart, even a fraction, or to give one&#8217;s love to even the smallest of idols, means there is a part that doesn&#8217;t belong to God, a part that needs to be purified. Herein lies the doctrine of Purgatory.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more-->If God is love, all love, then only that which is fully and completely love can be joined to Himself. Thus, for a person to enter into <em>full communion<\/em> with God requires purity of heart, mind, and soul\u2014a demand of divine justice. But who can be that pure?

Purgatory is a state that prepares us for love, makes room for full joy, and purifies our vision to behold the face of God.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">Who may go up the mountain of the Lord?

As we read in the Mass readings last week, before each of us is life and death, and we must choose life in this plane to avoid eternal death in the next. As Jesus says of the unrepentant in today&#8217;s Gospel, <em>&#8220;At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it.&#8221; <\/em>The moment after death, each of us will face our particular judgment and the prospect of Heaven or Hell. Those who have rejected God in this life will continue to wear their gown of impurity into the darkness. Those who put their faith in Christ will wear the wedding gown <em>they&#8217;ve already received<\/em> into the Light&#8230; but any remaining stains of earthly affections will be cleansed first in Purgatory.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">So many of us joke about how long we will be in Purgatory, but I don&#8217;t think Jesus is laughing! He came that we may<em> &#8220;have life and have it more abundantly.&#8221;<\/em> <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_14168_1('footnote_plugin_reference_14168_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_14168_1('footnote_plugin_reference_14168_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_14168_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_14168_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">cf.
