And there is no respite in sight…

It is the 13th of September 2022.

It is that time of the year, when we haven’t begun wearing four layers of clothing and the leaves haven’t started falling from the trees at an alarming rate.

But in a way, it’s almost like being in purgatory.

Hadn’t I attended a catholic church funded school, I might have not learned about what it is to be in purgatory:

is, according to the belief of some Christian denominations (mostly Catholic), an intermediate state after physical death for expiatory purification.[2 The process of purgatory is the final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.[3] Tradition, by reference to certain texts of scripture, sees the process as involving a cleansing fire. Some forms of Western Christianity, particularly within Protestantism, deny its existence. Other strands of Western Christianity see purgatory[4] as a place, perhaps filled with fire. Some concepts of Gehenna in Judaism resemble those of purgatory

And it’s no exaggeration to state that millions of Brits today are in purgatory.

In anticipation of what’s about to come.
