And of course, the best way is weekly confession, or go every fortnight. And to be holy, and be a saint. To lead a holy life.

Holiness is not the luxury of the few, it is a calling for me and you
 
The problem is that sainthood is too difficult, and martyrdom too frightening.

I’ve read both books; they are a good starting point for the average sinner.

You’re welcome 😃 Yes they are good starting point for the average sinner, you are right. I read the first book (how to avoid purgatory) at the beginning of my conversion. And it really put things to perspective, it gives me meditation on purgatory.👍

To be holy, actually is not that difficult, you just have to go to confession frequently and avoid sin, and love much.

Almost all saints go to confession frequently (weekly, three times a week, daily), no wonder they became saints!

Love of God, that will make you a saint.

Watch mother angelica, she will lead you to the path of holiness

Don’t forget about those plenary indulgences… some of which are fairly easy to obtain.

Also prayer for the souls in Purgatory, having masses said for your friends and loved ones (and asking folks to say a mass for you when you pass) , all help in our life’s journey and make our time in Purgatory as short as possible.

A good act of contrition every evening and a daily Rosary or two should also make your stay minimal or non-existent.
 
Indulgences 🙂 That’s right. We can offer indulgences for the holy souls in purgatory.

This is enchiridion (handbook) of indulgences issued by the holy see
freecatholicebooks.com/books/indulgences.pdf

Indulgences can be for us, or for souls in purgatory, meaning, remission of part or all punishment in purgatory. There is plenary (full) indulgence, or partial indulgence.

Jesus is very merciful that he gives us these indulgences for relatively easy work… such as venerating the blessed sacrament for 1/2 an hour, reading the scriptures for 1/2 an hour, and go to confession and communion, and pray for the intentions of the pope (1 Our Father and 1 Hail Mary would suffice)

Read the handbook of indulgences, you will learn the mercy of God.
