I believe that life is a test, a series of choices. The consequence of the choices we make in life is our final destination — Heaven or Hell. Free Will makes it our choice. It all comes down to love — Jesus made that clear.

Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

Matthew 7:12
12 So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Thing is none of us is perfect, so, all of us have sins we need to atone for before we can enter into Heaven. Purgatory is where that happens, either during our lives here on earth or …

Amen Mary. God’s Divine Mercy provides these two commandments to save the whole human race. Anyone who follows His universal precepts may enter His Heavenly Kingdom regardless of religion. Following these humane loving laws necessarily involves repentance. He forgives all of it.

If true actually gives me comfort. We going to get it right this go around.

How many times have we been here?
too many to count.

Amazing to be alive 🙏🏻

I have said this for years. Many don’t believe in purgatory. We aren’t in hell, but we aren’t in heaven either. All of life’s lessons are a puzzle or test of faith. Until we figure it out we repeat the cycle.

Breaking free of the mindset is hard. It challenges us to rethink it all, every decision, every comment, every judgement.

Pray.

not in hell but one degree above it.

I've always believed this was purgatory. I was told as a child I would keep coming back until I got it right.
