This short book was written early during the COVID-19 pandemic when churches were closed in response to rising infections and deaths around the world.
One thing we have learned from this continuing crisis is that life-changing emergencies can hit at any time.
During times of personal, family or national emergency it may not be possible to have recourse to the sacraments or the assistance of clergy at the very moment you desperately need them.
Understandably, this can cause great distress and anxiety.
Thankfully, God in His providence has provided traditional devotions, approved by the Church, that give you access to His forgiveness and grace, the assistance of His saints, and guidance from the doctrinal wisdom of His Church.
This book will also provide you with Sacred Scripture for times of emergency, traditional prayers for times of national emergency, and guidance about when and how to perform an emergency baptism.

Join Father Paul Pearson of the Oratory as he guides you on a spiritual journey through one of the great classics of Christian literature, Dante’s “Purgatorio.” Purgatory is the least understood of the three possible “destinations” when we die (though unlike heaven or hell it is not an eternal one) and is mysterious to many Christians and even to many Catholics today.
As he did in his first volume in the “Spiritual Direction from Dante” trilogy, “Avoiding the Inferno,” Father Pearson adroitly draws out the great spiritual insights hidden in “The Divine Comedy.”
