Is Purgatory just a theological idea—or can it leave behind physical evidence?

In this powerful episode, Ken and Janelle share one of the most astonishing Catholic mystical encounters ever recorded: the 1859 apparition of Sister Teresa Gesta, a holy nun who returned from Purgatory to leave a burnt handprint on a wooden door in her convent near Foligno, Italy.

This remarkable event was thoroughly investigated by the Church and even documented by respected Catholic figures like St. Thomas Aquinas, Monsignor de Ségur, and Father F.X. Schouppe in The Dogma of Purgatory. It’s a chilling reminder that Purgatory is real, that even the smallest sins are purified after death, and that our prayers for the dead truly matter.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

• The chilling apparition of Sister Teresa Gesta from Purgatory
• What Catholic Saints and theologians say about souls appearing to the living
• The official Church investigation that validated this supernatural event
• How Masses, prayers, and sacrifices help the Holy Souls in Purgatory
• Why Purgatory is a place of hope, not despair

Whether you're new to Catholic teaching or deepening your devotion, this story will ignite your faith and deepen your love for the suffering souls in need of our prayers.
