Holy Souls in Purgatory Medal and Ball Chain
Souls in Purgatory have a great joy in their suffering; they want to be purified and to be made spotless. They have supernatural charity and love God in their purification. They have a love for God far more than they had on earth. Each soul undergoing purgation suffers unexpiated temporal punishment for his sins to the degree that his will turned from God’s grace in this life. Hence each soul suffers differently, some more so, others less so, according to Divine Justice. (Catholicism.org)
Saint Thomas Aquinas teaches that the pain experienced by a soul separated from the body in Purgatory is ligative, just as it is for the souls and fallen spirits in hellfire. By this he does not mean to diminish its as a torment but to accentuate that for a separated, immaterial soul the fire torments by ligation, binding the soul as it were, imprisoning it within its walls. Thusly, though the fire is a material, created fire, it cannot “burn” the immaterial soul, but it does torment it, because the soul is afflicted in other ways by the fire, which fire is God’s instrument of justice in the process of purging the effects of sins that were committed by illicit indulgence in the abuse of corporeal things.
