Chapter 109.—The State of the Soul During the Interval Between Death and the Resurrection.
¶2
During the time, moreover, which intervenes between a man’s death and the final resurrection, the soul dwells in a hidden retreat, where it enjoys rest or suffers affliction just in proportion to the merit it has earned by the life which it led on earth.
