Weekly Reflection

All Soul's Day

11-02-2025 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God, Where in the Bible do they refer to a purification or purgation of souls?

In Revelation 21:27 we learned that “Nothing unclean will enter heaven.” This implies that souls dying with imperfection will undergo purification first before they will enter heaven. In Matthew 12:32, it says; “Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” “age to come”, meaning after death.
