According to Fr. Mark Goring, Mirjana—one of the six visionaries of Medjugorje—once asked the Blessed Mother where most people go when they die. She answered that most go to purgatory before ultimately passing through to heaven, the next greatest number go to hell, and only a few go directly to heaven. This sounds logical to me. Even though we are all sinners, God's mercy is so great that most people are still saved; however, they need a final purification through the fire of God's love in purgatory before entering the glory of heaven. Fr. Goring believes that if we completely abandon ourselves to God, there is no reason we cannot go straight to heaven when we die. I agree with him. If we are willing to let God do whatever he wishes with us, of course he will bring us straight to himself when we die.
