The good news is that we've made it out of Hell. The even better news is that we are now ready to begin our ascent of Mount Purgatory. In this episode we join Dante and Virgil by the sea, taking in the fresh air, the birdsong, and the warmth of the sun. We can breath free and deep. But we can't remain content with where we stand, we must begin our journey upward. To do this we must first meet Cato, something of a guardian of the path toward Purgatory's peak. We then also must wash away the residue of the Inferno, experiencing the cleansing waters of God's life-giving mercy. We can then turn our newly washed faces upward to the heights, ready to relinquish the sinful tendencies that remain within the soul. My companion for this trip is Paul Camacho, who is Associate Director of the Augustinian Institute and Assistant Teaching Professor in the Augustine and Culture Seminar at Villanova University. He also writes a weekly newsletter, "Will This BeOn the Exam?" which is well worth the read.
