Purgatory - Here or Hereafter

The following is from Chapter 24 of My Daily Bread by the Confraternity of the Precious Blood.

..."If you say you cannot bear much suffering now, how will you be able to endure the purifying pains of Purgatory hereafter?

The patient man finds a cleansing purgatory in this earthly life. When others wrong him, he is more sorry that evil done than that he has been wronged. He forgives the evil-doer from the bottom of his heart. He is not slow to ask pardon when he himself has hurt others. He is more easily moved to pity than to anger. He frequently disregards his feelings and tries to live above them, according to his intelligence and My grace."
