J.M.J. Would--or even, could--Mary forget her sons and daughters who died in the friendship of her Divine Son but still have temporal punishment for which to atone?
Certainly not.
Our Lady loves her children in Purgatory and does not rest until they are safely in Heaven.
Let us ask the sinless Ever-Virgin Mother of God to take many Holy Souls today from Purgatory to Paradise.
