Give Thanks for Purgatory?  Whaaat?

Yes!  Consider this:
"If a soul were brought to see God when it had still a trifle of which to purge itself, a great injury would be done it.  Yet, a great happiness is granted to the Holy Souls that grows as they draw nearer God.  For every glimpse which can be had of God exceeds any pain or joy a man can feel. The Holy Souls clearly see God to be on fire with extreme love for them. Strongly and unceasingly this love draws the soul with that uniting look, as though it had nothing else to do than this. "
                                                                                                                                           -St. Catherine of Genoa

Purgatory basically means that God can put all the pieces back together again, can create wholeness, so that we can see that we all belong together in one enormous symphony of being.
-Pope Benedict XVI
