But What Does It Mean? they’re not yet in a full of holiness — the holiness that’s necessary to behold God “face to face” in heaven. (Catechism,

1030)

Basis in Scripture and Tradition The is oen accused of invenng the concept of Purgatory out of thin air. Not so! You don’t hear about it from many who aren’t Catholic but Purgatory does have deep roots in Sacred Scripture as well as Catholic Tradion — the full, living faith of the Apostles as received from Christ.

First, it’s based on the ancient Jewish pracce of prayer for the dead, as menoned in Scripture: “Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.” (2 Macc 12:46)

The early Chrisans connued this pracce: “From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharisc sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may aain the beafic vision of God.” (Catechism, 1032)

Inscripons on the walls and tombs of the Catacombs tesfy to the belief of many early Catholics in Purgatory. The words of the Apostles in the also clearly tell us about being “tested by fire” (1 Pet 1:7). St. Paul warns us that if someone builds on the true foundaon of Christ but doesn’t take care to build well, “the person will be saved, but For the Catholic Purgatory is a period of purificaon aer only as through fire” (1 Cor 3:15). death. When we die, our souls are judged immediately by Christ in Finally, the Catechism quotes what’s called the “Parcular Judgment”: St. Gregory the Great: Each man receives his eternal retribuon in his immortal soul As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the at the very moment of his death, in a parcular judgment that Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He who is truth says refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of that whoever uers blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be heaven — through a purificaon or immediately, — or pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this immediate and everlasng damnaon.

PRAYER OF PROTECTION FROM THE CORONAVIRUS

O God Almighty, Lord of heaven and earth and of all creation visible and invisible, in Your ineffable goodness, look down upon Your people gathered in Your Name. Be our helper and defender in this day of affliction. You know our weakness. You hear our cry in repentance and contrition of heart.

O Lord Who loves mankind, deliver us from the impending threat of the coronavirus. Send Your Angel to watch over us and protect us. Grant health and recovery to those suffering from this virus. Guide the hands of physicians, and preserve those who are healthy that we may continue to serve You in peace and glorify Your Most Honorable and Majestic Name, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen

— Francis — Page Eight Third Ordinary Sunday January 24, 2021 Saint Henry Suso Feast day January 25

Anyone who endures dryness at prayer or feels abandoned by God will find instrucon, and perhaps some relief, in the experience of Henry Suso. A mysc who called himself the “servant of Eternal Wisdom,” he endured long stretches of spiritual darkness interrupted only by occasional bursts of brightness. Henry’s life says to us that in apparent barrenness the soul draws closest to God. And we see him only by learning to look deep within.

Henry Suso was born at Constance, Switzerland, and became a Dominican there at 13. Five years later an extraordinary divine encounter launched him on his lifelong myscal pursuit of God. For the next decade, however, Suso suffered severe depression and doubt. Finally, counsel with , the of 14th-century German myscism, delivered him from the worst of it.

Like many other myscs, at midlife Henry threw himself into acve Chrisan work. For nearly two decades he traveled throughout the preaching, teaching, and giving spiritual direcon. He also wrote extensively about the inner life. His work on prayer, The Lile Book of Eternal Wisdom, became the most popular Chrisan book in Europe before The Imitaon of Christ appeared. In this excerpt he asks God, the Eternal Wisdom, why he seems to forsake those he loves:

Eternal Wisdom: When I hide myself, only then do you become aware of who I am or who you are. I am eternal Good, and so when I pour myself forth so lovingly, everything I enter becomes good. One can thus detect my presence as one detects the sun by its brightness since one cannot see its essence.

Servant: Lord, I find within myself a great unevenness. When I feel forsaken, my soul is like a sick person to whom everything is repugnant. But when the bright morning star bursts forth in my soul, all gloom disappears. Quickly, however, it is all snatched away and I am again forsaken. But then aer intense sadness it returns. What is going on?

Eternal Wisdom: I am causing it, and it is the game of love. As long as love is together with love, love does not know how dear love is. But when love departs from love, then truly love feels how dear love was.

Servant: Dear Lord, teach me how to conduct myself in this game.

Eternal Wisdom: On good days you should consider the bad days, and on the bad days consider the good days. Then neither exuberance at my presence nor despondency can harm you. To find joy on earth, it is not enough that you give me a certain period of the day. You must constantly remain within yourself if you want to find God, hear his familiar words and be sensive to his secret thoughts.

Suso’s individualisc piety and his associaon with Meister Eckhart, who was suspected of heresy, won him many enemies. He was accused of the, sacrilege, fathering a child, poisoning, and heresy, but he was completely cleared of all charges. Toward the end of his life he served as the prior of the Dominican house at Ulm in central Germany. Henry Suso died there in 1366.
