A first essential setting for learning hope is prayer. When no one listens to me any more, God still listens to me. When I can no longer talk to anyone or call upon anyone, I can always talk to God. When there is no longer anyone to help me deal with a need or expectation that goes beyond the human capacity for hope, he can help me. When I have been plunged into complete solitude \u2026 if I pray I am never totally alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This early Jewish idea of an intermediate state ( Purgatory ) includes the view that these souls are not simply in a sort of temporary custody but, as the parable of the rich man illustrates \u2026 are experiencing a provisional form of bliss. There is also the idea that this state can involve purification and healing which mature the soul for communion with God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
