For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants..
to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability..
But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.(Mt25:14-30) #Bible

2. And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying:

Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above..

And he also that had received the two talents came and said..behold I have gained other two.

3. [Their lord said to them each:]
Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place you over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

But he that had received the one talent, came and said..I went and hid thy talent

#AllSoulsDay #purgatory

2. death, which is not eternal.

As to the place, manner, or kind of these sufferings, nothing has been defined by the Church,it is interwoven with the fundamental articles of the Christian faith.
