HOW TO AVOID PURGATORY
Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, O.P. (E.D.M.) In How to Avoid Purgatory, the ever-popular Fr. Paul O'Sullivan provides a wonderful little handbook of easy ways to bypass Purgatory so that we can go straight to Heaven when we die. This book forms a perfect companion to Fr. O'Sullivan's famous Read Me or Rue It, on helping the Holy Souls in Purgatory and receiving from them in return signal favors. The author maintains it is God's holy Will that everyone avoid Purgatory, for nobody goes there except for faults which he could have avoided. Moreover, he shows that if we just aim for Purgatory, we may unfortunately find ourselves in Hell; whereas, the best way to avoid Hell is to aim to be perfectly prepared for Heaven when we die. And Fr. O'Sullivan shows how to achieve this. He maintains that every day most people blindly pass by all sorts of opportunities to earn “gold for Heaven.” But rather than calling for heroic measures, he tells us: If we are afraid to do much, let us do many little things. And he gives numerous examples and suggestions. Although very brief and easy to read, How to Avoid Purgatory is actually a treasure map showing us how to gain the most from this life and at the same time obtain the greatest possible rewards in Heaven. 39 pp.

WHAT WILL HELL BE LIKE?
St. Alphonsus Liguori This booklet, What Will Hell Be Like, is a selection from the writings of the incomparable Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori. Not only is it an authoritative statement on the subject, it is also on one of the most important subjects that people can read about in our time—when there is so much emphasis on materialism and sensual pleasure. Hell is a reality; it is a doctrine of the Catholic Faith; Our Lord spoke most clearly about it; Scripture reinforces the fact; but people do not want to think about it. Nonetheless, meditation on the reality and sufferings and eternity of Hell are for us all the most sobering warning to lead a good life and follow the law of God. Pamphlet - 24 pages.
