Purgatory

Purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify) in accordance with Catholic teaching
is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who,
departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults,
or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.

A Soul in Limbo waited to be released

A big thanks to my mysterious model who was very Brave & patient

It has been an intense experience looking at these for 15 minutes. You convincingly show how it would be to be in this state of mind more or less continuously. v.

report of the Ryan Report into Child Abuse in Institutions (run by religious orders)
in Ireland, beautiful and disturbing. V
