In honor of the feast of All Souls, please see "The Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux on Purgatory," translated from the German.  It was published in "For Heaven's Sake," a newsletter of the Holy Souls Sodality (Volume 3, number 9, September 2012).  Read about Therese's belief that it was not necessary to pass through purgatory; she believed that the purifying fires of divine love were all-sufficient.
