Description

Purgatory is a space beyond heaven and our world, earth. While there, human souls thirst mightily for heaven, but require our prayers so that they may be completely purified before entering heaven and the presence of God.

St. John Macias entered the Dominican order as a lay brother. He was attacked by demons from the moment that he entered the Order. St. John also had visions of St. John the Evangelist throughout his life who told him that because of his constant prayers and sacrifices, St. John had liberated more than a million souls from purgatory. When he died, many thousands of heavenly escorts came to greet him on his journey to heaven.

This work is my own illustration of a thousand souls asking for prayers, and delightedly, some heavenly escorts helping souls on their own journey to heaven.

This work actually began as a photograph of an autumn leaf. The final piece has an abundance of layers, textures and filters.
