Inside Purgatory: A Soul’s Story to Help Kids Understand God’s Purifying Love

Discover how one soul’s vivid explanation of purgatory’s stages can transform the way your family understands God’s plan — and spark deep conversations with your kids. Look closer and see how God is both just and merciful. Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to share with each other some stories about a happiness they felt even though they were still suffering. (i.e. winning a game though injured or feeling exhausted, finally coming up with a good plan to solve a tough problem, etc.)

This is private revelation, not a Church doctrine that we are required to believe. (View segment from 0:00 to 3:40. You’ll need to read the text on the screen.)
