+
+HAPPINESS IN PURGATORY.
+
+IT may be said of Purgatory that if it did not exist it would have to be
+created, so eminently is it in accord with the dictates of reason and
+common sense. The natural instinct of travellers at their journey's end
+is to seek for rest and change of attire. Some are begrimed with mud,
+others have caught the dust of a scorching summer day; the heat or cold
+or damp of the journey has told upon them and their attire. Perhaps,
+even, the way has made them weary unto sickness, and they crave for an
+interval of absolute repose.
+
+Travellers from earth, covered with the mud and dust of its long road,
+could never wish to enter the banquet-room of eternity in their
+travel-stained garments. "Take me away!" cried Gerontius to his angel.
+It was a cry of anguish as well as desire, for Gerontius, blessed soul
+though he is, could not face heaven just as earth had left him. He has
+the true instinct of the traveller at his journey's end. Dust, rust, and
+the moth have marked their presence, and even the oddities and
+eccentricities of earthly pilgrimage must be obliterated before the home
+of eternity can be entered. _De mortuis nil nisi bonum_ is interpreted,
+nothing short of heaven for those who have crossed the bourne. But, if
+the heavenly gates are thrown open to the travellers all weary and
+footsore, "not having on a nuptial garment," no heterogeneous meeting
+here on earth could compete with the gathering of disembodied spirits
+from its four quarters. It is human ignorance alone which canonizes all
+the departed, and insists on a direct passage from time to heaven. The
+canonization is not ratified in heaven, because heaven would not exist
+if it took place. The Beatific Vision is incompatible with the shadow of
+imperfection. To act as if it were belongs to the same order of things
+as rending the garment of Christian unity.
+
+Purgatory makes heaven, in the sense that heaven would not be possible
+for men without it. As well might we try to reach a far-off planet,
+which is absolutely removed from our sphere, an unknown quantity, though
+a fact science does not dispute. Heaven without Purgatory is a far-off
+planet which must ever remain beyond our touch and ken, for it would be
+easier that we in our present condition should traverse space than that
+the sinner should see God face to face.
+
+The vestibule of heaven, in which souls tarry in order to make their
+preparations, and to be prepared for the feast of eternity, can scarcely
+be an abode of pure suffering. Heart and mind, as they exist in the
+_anima separata_--that is, understanding and love--are at rest. On earth
+mind and heart are the source of the greatest pain as well as the
+greatest joy. The severest pain of body may be accompanied by happiness
+and a mind at rest, whereas remorse makes life unbearable. Hidden
+criminals at large have not unfrequently given themselves up to justice
+in order to arrive at peace by a public execution, that being the
+penalty demanded by their tortured conscience. Death, however
+ignominious, rather than remorse--the backbite of inwit, in the quaint
+language of our forefathers. Remorse is not in the organs of sense, but
+a purely intellectual operation, proper to man. It cannot be softened by
+worldly prosperity or riches, fame or success. On the other hand, a good
+conscience is a well-spring of happiness, be the outward circumstances
+of a man's life what they may. Bodily pain would add to the torture of
+remorse, just as it might deaden the joy of a good conscience, _per
+accidens_, as theologians say. Conjointly with the mind, the heart
+causes the keenest sufferings and the deepest joys of human life, joys
+and sufferings which are acted upon in the same way indirectly by pain
+of body. A severe toothache, for instance, quickens the pangs of
+remorse, whilst it deadens joy proceeding either from the intellect or
+the heart. It would madden a bride on her wedding morning, without in
+reality affecting her happiness. The root of both joy and grief is in
+the soul, not in the body. Conscience is the "worm which never
+dieth"--that is, hell, the torment created by man himself for his own
+punishment. The same applies to Purgatory, as far as conscience has been
+sinned against. The soul has created its own torment, but in Purgatory
+the fires die out because they deal with the _anima separata_, never
+with the senses. In each case the nature of the fire, which may not be
+material and is exercised on spirits, must remain mysterious to us. At
+least we can understand it by analogy. Remorse in the tortured soul of a
+murderer is sufficient to destroy the prosperous and pampered life of
+the body. Intensify it by the measure of eternity, and it may alone
+constitute hell. That is probably what theologians mean when they say
+that the fire of hell and that of Purgatory are identical. What fire is
+to the body, that burning sorrow is to the spirit, who sees things in
+their true light, and weighs lost opportunities in the balance of the
+next world.
+
+By sorrow and love earth shows us the material, to speak in human
+language, out of which Purgatory is made. The pangs of remorse deaden
+the most intense bodily pain, and the power of love does more than
+render hard things sweet. _Many waters cannot quench charity, neither
+can the floods drown it_, says the voice of love in the Canticles.
+Whether human or divine, it is as a burning fire, which consumes all
+minor cares. I will not deal with passion, but with love in its noblest
+form and expression; the love, for instance, of a mother, or of a wife,
+or of an affianced bride. Earth has nothing better in the natural order
+than disinterested affection, a foreshadowing of Purgatory as much as
+the torture of remorse. Sin will not be there, neither will
+money-making; love will be the coin of the realm. _Non subtrahuntur
+deliciæ sed mutantur_. As the action of purification is perfected, each
+human intelligence in Purgatory will be more and more fixed on God. The
+soul disengaged from the senses will learn all the more promptly the
+lesson of Purgatory, if it has not been learnt here, the perfect love of
+God. There is joy in suffering under these conditions, a joy which makes
+pain acceptable. A _promessa sposa_ will be patient with sudden illness,
+and racking pain, if they promise to be temporary. She can afford to be
+so as long as her heart is fixed on the wedding day. The _sposo_, indeed,
+may weary of a sick affianced bride, and court another. This can happen
+in human things, but never in Purgatory. The souls there are fixed on
+the Unchangeable One, who can never prove them false; so be the
+suffering what it may, they can afford to bide his time, secure that the
+reward of their heart's long watching will never pass away. Their
+wedding day is far removed from the vicissitudes of earth, and the
+fever-tossed brides may suffer in perfect peace.
+
+On earth it is more difficult to unlearn than to learn afresh, and it
+must be feared that to the great majority Purgatory is an unlearning.
+The idols, the false standards of the world must be swept away. In the
+first instant of eternity the soul has an intuitive perception of her
+errors. It may be likened to arrival in a foreign land, of which the
+language has been badly learnt at home. English-French will serve as a
+comparison. It is very soon proved to be no French at all. The foreigner
+immediately says: "I am all wrong. I must begin again." He had much
+better have learnt no French--at least his professor will think so--for
+he has to unlearn more than he learns, his expressions, his quantities,
+his pronunciation. Fully aware as he now is of his shortcomings, the
+work of imparting real knowledge will take time.
+
+We say that knowledge is power. In Purgatory it is love; and who can
+call the process of arriving at it all painful, even if accompanied by
+torments? It is the burst of eternal day, coming gradually to those who
+ascend the steep mountain-side of Purgatory.
+
+In it, as in the Father's house, there are many mansions. Whilst the
+saint may be punished with the pain of loss only, the sinner may be
+racked with fiery torments, "saved yet so as by fire." Whatever the
+"mansion," the suffering proceeds from the same cause, varying in
+degree: remorse for the past, love of God in the present. That which on
+earth causes our torture and our joy is prolonged in Purgatory, with
+this difference: _Here_ our minds and hearts are unquiet because they
+are not fixed on God: _there_ knowledge and love will be first
+established on their true centre, and then perfected.
+
+There is one single and unique instance of purgatory on earth--not
+purgatory in the loose sense in which the expression is often used.
+Suffering by itself is not synonymous with Purgatory. There must be the
+absolute certainty of heaven, which has been given only once. _Amen,
+Amen, I say to thee, this day shalt thou be with me in paradise_. The
+word was spoken by our Lord himself to one in fearful torture and
+ignominy. Was the good thief conscious of pain with that divine promise
+ringing in his dying ears? It may well be doubted.
+
+He has spoken the same word to each of the holy souls: "Thou shalt be
+with me in paradise"; and they are so moulded to his will that his hour
+is theirs. They long to hear _this day_, but the security of Our Lord's
+promise tempers their suffering and puts it far above all pains and
+sorrows of earth. Who would not submit to be crucified, if _To-day thou
+shalt be with me in paradise_ were the reward? Yet a state of
+crucifixion and perfect security is that of the souls whose blessedness
+exceeds their torments.
+
+These thoughts may possibly suggest comfort to some who confuse
+suffering with unhappiness. They are not synonymous. Let us rather think
+of the holy souls as in the condition of the good thief. If they are
+suffering the torments of crucifixion they have heard the word which is
+to be their joy through eternity: _Thou shalt be with me in paradise!_

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+ HAPPINESS IN PURGATORY.
+ </h1>
+ <p>
+ <img src="images/I.jpg" alt="I" align="left">T may be
+ said of Purgatory that if it did not exist it would
+ have to be created, so eminently is it in accord with
+ the dictates of reason and common sense. The natural
+ instinct of travellers at their journey's end is to
+ seek for rest and change of attire. Some are begrimed
+ with mud, others have caught the dust of a scorching
+ summer day; the heat or cold or damp of the journey has
+ told upon them and their attire. Perhaps, even, the way
+ has made them weary unto sickness, and they crave for
+ an interval of absolute repose.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Travellers from earth, covered with the mud and dust of
+ its long road, could never wish to enter the
+ banquet-room of eternity in their travel-stained
+ garments. "Take me away!" cried Gerontius to his angel.
+ It was a cry of anguish as well as desire, for
+ Gerontius, blessed soul though he is, could not face
+ heaven just as earth had left him. He has the true
+ instinct of the traveller at his journey's end. Dust,
+ rust, and the moth have marked their presence, and even
+ the oddities and eccentricities of earthly pilgrimage
+ must be obliterated before the home of eternity can be
+ entered. <i>De mortuis nil nisi bonum</i> is
+ interpreted, nothing short of heaven for those who have
+ crossed the bourne. But, if the heavenly gates are
+ thrown open to the travellers all weary and footsore,
+ "not having on a nuptial garment," no heterogeneous
+ meeting here on earth could compete with the gathering
+ of disembodied spirits from its four quarters. It is
+ human ignorance alone which canonizes all the departed,
+ and insists on a direct passage from time to heaven.
+ The canonization is not ratified in heaven, because
+ heaven would not exist if it took place. The Beatific
+ Vision is incompatible with the shadow of imperfection.
+ To act as if it were belongs to the same order of
+ things as rending the garment of Christian unity.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Purgatory makes heaven, in the sense that heaven would
+ not be possible for men without it. As well might we
+ try to reach a far-off planet, which is absolutely
+ removed from our sphere, an unknown quantity, though a
+ fact science does not dispute. Heaven without Purgatory
+ is a far-off planet which must ever remain beyond our
+ touch and ken, for it would be easier that we in our
+ present condition should traverse space than that the
+ sinner should see God face to face.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The vestibule of heaven, in which souls tarry in order
+ to make their preparations, and to be prepared for the
+ feast of eternity, can scarcely be an abode of pure
+ suffering. Heart and mind, as they exist in the
+ <i>anima separata</i>&mdash;that is, understanding and
+ love&mdash;are at rest. On earth mind and heart are the
+ source of the greatest pain as well as the greatest
+ joy. The severest pain of body may be accompanied by
+ happiness and a mind at rest, whereas remorse makes
+ life unbearable. Hidden criminals at large have not
+ unfrequently given themselves up to justice in order to
+ arrive at peace by a public execution, that being the
+ penalty demanded by their tortured conscience. Death,
+ however ignominious, rather than remorse&mdash;the
+ backbite of inwit, in the quaint language of our
+ forefathers. Remorse is not in the organs of sense, but
+ a purely intellectual operation, proper to man. It
+ cannot be softened by worldly prosperity or riches,
+ fame or success. On the other hand, a good conscience
+ is a well-spring of happiness, be the outward
+ circumstances of a man's life what they may. Bodily
+ pain would add to the torture of remorse, just as it
+ might deaden the joy of a good conscience, <i>per
+ accidens</i>, as theologians say. Conjointly with the
+ mind, the heart causes the keenest sufferings and the
+ deepest joys of human life, joys and sufferings which
+ are acted upon in the same way indirectly by pain of
+ body. A severe toothache, for instance, quickens the
+ pangs of remorse, whilst it deadens joy proceeding
+ either from the intellect or the heart. It would madden
+ a bride on her wedding morning, without in reality
+ affecting her happiness. The root of both joy and grief
+ is in the soul, not in the body. Conscience is the
+ "worm which never dieth"&mdash;that is, hell, the
+ torment created by man himself for his own punishment.
+ The same applies to Purgatory, as far as conscience has
+ been sinned against. The soul has created its own
+ torment, but in Purgatory the fires die out because
+ they deal with the <i>anima separata</i>, never with
+ the senses. In each case the nature of the fire, which
+ may not be material and is exercised on spirits, must
+ remain mysterious to us. At least we can understand it
+ by analogy. Remorse in the tortured soul of a murderer
+ is sufficient to destroy the prosperous and pampered
+ life of the body. Intensify it by the measure of
+ eternity, and it may alone constitute hell. That is
+ probably what theologians mean when they say that the
+ fire of hell and that of Purgatory are identical. What
+ fire is to the body, that burning sorrow is to the
+ spirit, who sees things in their true light, and weighs
+ lost opportunities in the balance of the next world.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ By sorrow and love earth shows us the material, to
+ speak in human language, out of which Purgatory is
+ made. The pangs of remorse deaden the most intense
+ bodily pain, and the power of love does more than
+ render hard things sweet. <i>Many waters cannot quench
+ charity, neither can the floods drown it</i>, says the
+ voice of love in the Canticles. Whether human or
+ divine, it is as a burning fire, which consumes all
+ minor cares. I will not deal with passion, but with
+ love in its noblest form and expression; the love, for
+ instance, of a mother, or of a wife, or of an affianced
+ bride. Earth has nothing better in the natural order
+ than disinterested affection, a foreshadowing of
+ Purgatory as much as the torture of remorse. Sin will
+ not be there, neither will money-making; love will be
+ the coin of the realm. <i>Non subtrahuntur
+ delici&aelig; sed mutantur</i>. As the action of
+ purification is perfected, each human intelligence in
+ Purgatory will be more and more fixed on God. The soul
+ disengaged from the senses will learn all the more
+ promptly the lesson of Purgatory, if it has not been
+ learnt here, the perfect love of God. There is joy in
+ suffering under these conditions, a joy which makes
+ pain acceptable. A <i>promessa sposa</i> will be
+ patient with sudden illness, and racking pain, if they
+ promise to be temporary. She can afford to be so as
+ long as her heart is fixed on the wedding day. The
+ <i>sposo</i>, indeed, may weary of a sick affianced
+ bride, and court another. This can happen in human
+ things, but never in Purgatory. The souls there are
+ fixed on the Unchangeable One, who can never prove them
+ false; so be the suffering what it may, they can afford
+ to bide his time, secure that the reward of their
+ heart's long watching will never pass away. Their
+ wedding day is far removed from the vicissitudes of
+ earth, and the fever-tossed brides may suffer in
+ perfect peace.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ On earth it is more difficult to unlearn than to learn
+ afresh, and it must be feared that to the great
+ majority Purgatory is an unlearning. The idols, the
+ false standards of the world must be swept away. In the
+ first instant of eternity the soul has an intuitive
+ perception of her errors. It may be likened to arrival
+ in a foreign land, of which the language has been badly
+ learnt at home. English-French will serve as a
+ comparison. It is very soon proved to be no French at
+ all. The foreigner immediately says: "I am all wrong. I
+ must begin again." He had much better have learnt no
+ French&mdash;at least his professor will think
+ so&mdash;for he has to unlearn more than he learns, his
+ expressions, his quantities, his pronunciation. Fully
+ aware as he now is of his shortcomings, the work of
+ imparting real knowledge will take time.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We say that knowledge is power. In Purgatory it is
+ love; and who can call the process of arriving at it
+ all painful, even if accompanied by torments? It is the
+ burst of eternal day, coming gradually to those who
+ ascend the steep mountain-side of Purgatory.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In it, as in the Father's house, there are many
+ mansions. Whilst the saint may be punished with the
+ pain of loss only, the sinner may be racked with fiery
+ torments, "saved yet so as by fire." Whatever the
+ "mansion," the suffering proceeds from the same cause,
+ varying in degree: remorse for the past, love of God in
+ the present. That which on earth causes our torture and
+ our joy is prolonged in Purgatory, with this
+ difference: <i>Here</i> our minds and hearts are
+ unquiet because they are not fixed on God: <i>there</i>
+ knowledge and love will be first established on their
+ true centre, and then perfected.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There is one single and unique instance of purgatory on
+ earth&mdash;not purgatory in the loose sense in which
+ the expression is often used. Suffering by itself is
+ not synonymous with Purgatory. There must be the
+ absolute certainty of heaven, which has been given only
+ once. <i>Amen, Amen, I say to thee, this day shalt thou
+ be with me in paradise</i>. The word was spoken by our
+ Lord himself to one in fearful torture and ignominy.
+ Was the good thief conscious of pain with that divine
+ promise ringing in his dying ears? It may well be
+ doubted.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ He has spoken the same word to each of the holy souls:
+ "Thou shalt be with me in paradise"; and they are so
+ moulded to his will that his hour is theirs. They long
+ to hear <i>this day</i>, but the security of Our Lord's
+ promise tempers their suffering and puts it far above
+ all pains and sorrows of earth. Who would not submit to
+ be crucified, if <i>To-day thou shalt be with me in
+ paradise</i> were the reward? Yet a state of
+ crucifixion and perfect security is that of the souls
+ whose blessedness exceeds their torments.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ These thoughts may possibly suggest comfort to some who
+ confuse suffering with unhappiness. They are not
+ synonymous. Let us rather think of the holy souls as in
+ the condition of the good thief. If they are suffering
+ the torments of crucifixion they have heard the word
+ which is to be their joy through eternity: <i>Thou
+ shalt be with me in paradise!</i>
+ </p>

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
