She emphasizes the mercy and love of God, who desires all souls to be saved and who provides a way for even the most sinful souls to be purified and made ready for heaven.Overall, The Treatise On Purgatory is a profound and insightful exploration of an important aspect of Catholic theology, written by one of the Church's most revered mystics and saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
