George Leo Haydock

That thou mayst protect me in hell. That is, in the state of the dead; and in the place where souls are kept waiting for their Redeemer; (Challoner) and in the grave, where the body awaits the resurrection. (Haydock) — These words are repeated in the office for the dead, in the name of the souls in purgatory. (Denis the Carthusian, a. 34.) — They are adduced in proof of limbo. But sheol denotes also “the grave.” (Amama) — What then? The soul is not confined there. It must consequently be explained of the lower receptacle for souls, as well as of the grave. (Haydock)
