I believe in redemptive suffering. I remember Fr. Bob I think it was on EWTN, when he had that show where they would ask viewers questions on air. He said that Purgatory is either a suburb or Heaven or a suburb of Hell depending upon how one looks at it.

[Salvation]

One must not think that a person who is suffering is not praying. He is offering up his sufferings to God, and many a time he is praying much more truly than one who goes away by himself and meditates his head off, and, if he has squeezed out a few tears, thinks that is prayer.

St. Teresa of Avila
