Will You Be on Our Lady’s A-Team?
Questions about Purgatory: Answered by the Saints
The Final Judgment
When Christ returns to earth, all human souls will be joined to immortal bodies to face a public tribunal of every human deed from the beginning of history to its end.
Free Will & Heaven
Even though we have been saved by Christ’s passion and death on the cross, we will not be able to enter heaven until we are fully able and willing not to sin and have learned how to completely align our will with God’s Will and doing only the good (not sin).
Combating Hedonism by Living the Message of Fatima
Our Lady came to Fatima to begin the formation of her “A Team” – a team of new “missionary disciples” who would be bright lights in a time of darkness, and by living an authentically Catholic life, would mission to people who had received a perverted form of the Catholic Faith through Modernism; disciples who would allow Jesus' victory over the Strongman to be fully effective in their lives. She knew it wouldn’t be easy for them because Hedonism – a direct consequence of Modernism – has infected everyone. The antidote is to respond to her urgent call to prayer, penance and reparation.
Green (natural) & Super-Green (supernatural) Remedies for Suffering and Grief
God's natural & supernatural gifts to the bereaved and suffering.
God has provided so many gifts for us to help us as we navigate this journey through grief and suffering. Some of them occur naturally (green) and some of them are given to us supernaturally (super-green). I do believe that the super-green gifts are the most important. They enable the green gifts to work more effectively. The green gifts alone might not be sufficient to provide the healing and peace that we need.
The Prophetic Messages of Our Lady of Akita
Our meditation today arises from the approved apparition of Our Lady of Akita, Japan from June 12, 1973 until Sept. 15, 1981. It began with 101 instances of a statue of Mary bleeding and weeping. Sr Agnes Sasagawa then received visions of an angel and messages from Mary, the Mother of God and Our Mother.
Suffering is Meant to Be a Win/Win/Win/Win/Win
If God is all-good and all-powerful, why is there so much suffering in this world?
Why is there Temporal Punishment for Sin?Didn't Jesus Pay Our Debt?
I was discussing Penance, purgatory, and indulgences (among many other topics) with a friend, and the topic of temporal punishment came up. Temporal punishment happens to be closely linked to indulgences, which happen to be linked to the effects of Sacramental Penance, so it was only natural that it be next in line for discussion.
The Prodigal Son - Another Perspective
It all begins with an idea.
Through Him, With Him, In Him
We are Living Lamps
