This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
📖 Follow along with the official Catechism in a Year Reading Plan (AscensionPress...)
Why do purgatory and hell exist? The Catechism teaches us today about the existence and the meaning of purgatory and hell. We learn that purgatory is a transitional state of purification while hell is the state of permanent separation from God. Fr. Mike reminds us that nobody drifts into heaven because “we cannot be united to God unless we freely choose to love him.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1030-1037.
Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
Ascension is committed to creating media that helps Catholics grow in their faith. Catechism in a Year promises to do just that - that’s why, no matter what, we’re making it. This podcast is free and always will be. But, we have limited resources. With funding from generous supporters like you, we can do even more than simply create the podcast. Would you consider supporting Ascension’s free media? tinyurl.com/2s.... No amount is too small!
Although not tax-deductible, the financial support we receive goes towards the creation of podcasts and videos that help Catholics grow in their faith. If you’d like to learn more about what we do with gifting, go to AscensionPress.... Thank you and God bless you!

As a convert, I did not realize that I was still harboring some Protestant concepts. Lots of people would tease me about being a goody goody, and to fit in, to deflect that, I would quip, "Hey, I am no saint." I had bought into this, I can be covered by Christ, and basically say, but hey I'm not perfect, and shrug off my little inconsistencies and bad habits. It has taken me many years as a Catholic to finally say, I am a saint in the making. To recognize I can't just slide by, or feel bad or embarrassed that I am trying to be like Christ. Sure I am not perfect, but I am to be perfecting my heart with the help of church and Christ. I am supposed to be a saint (that is the goal God intends) not just shrug it off as too hard to be, or a silly idea that I could be so good; it is after all what Jesus wants for me. I might not ever get there to that level closeness to Jesus, in this lifetime ( I hope so), but I am going to fight hard, really hard to do the next right thing, and really let God teach me. When I fail, I will just get up and take the hand of JEsus and start over again. It's a journey. Maybe you have felt this way too.

I have absolutely felt all that you express! I’m a convert too; it’s only been in the last few years that I started taking my commitment to Christ & the Church seriously. Almost a year ago I started praying the Liturgy of the Hours; when I found out it’s the prayer of the Church. I didn’t pray the rosary & very few written prayers. I still thought extemporaneous prayer was the best prayer. I started praying the LotH intentionally 4 times a day. Since then I’ve added the rosary, the Divine Mercy chaplet & novenas. I’m working on doing a Consecration to Mary soon. Right now I’m praying the Novena to the Holy Spirit & finishing a Novena to St. Rita, my confirmation saint. My interior life has exploded 💥💥💥 God is so GOOD! I want to be a saint! I have a long way to go, but I know through God’ love & mercy & the gift of perseverance I will make it.🙏❤️Hopefully I won’t have to spend too much time in Purgatory 😳😄

And yes, I'm looking to lighten the load in Purgatory, too. God is very good!

@@atrifle8364 I found Sing the Hours, but decided against using a video; I spend WAY too much time on RU-vid as it is😆Instead I use an app, Divine Office, & set the alarm in it to go off at morning, midday, evening, & night prayers. So no matter what I’m doing on YT I switch over to the app & pray. It recites the prayers & readings & sings the hymns. It has a cool feature where you can look at the globe & see how many people are using the app when you are. With morning prayer I also pray the Invitatory & listen to the Office of Readings.

This was so good and helpful! As a Protestant, depravity doctrine, never felt right to me. However, for me, the message that, no matter what I ever did, God still loved me (this is true BUT we should see transformation) made me only want to know and love God more…it drew me to God because I had been forgiven much. I wanted to be more like Jesus. Somehow, I think Martin Luther needed to KNOW that he could “rest” in God’s love. We ALL need to know that we can “rest” in God’s love for he is unchanging. Like the “Little Flower” encourages, “Run to God when you sin!” He will take you up in His arms! ♥️

Purgatory is a state of those who die in God’s friendship, assured of their eternal salvation, but who still have need to purification to enter into the happiness of heaven. We can help these poor souls by almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance. Hell consists in the eternal damnation of those who die in mortal sin through their own free choice. Lord, I ask you for your grace and mercy. Give me a contrite heart of true repentance. 🙏

Day 140 *Purgatory* My heart doesn't love God the way He should be loved. I love God's gifts a lot and his creatures as well. But I don't know if I love the creator the way he deserves to be loved. And so Purgatory is that place where not only our worldly attachments are purified but *our hearts are made capable of loving God the way he is meant to be loved* . This is supposed to happen in this life. But if it doesn't happen in this life, then God gives us this incredible opportunity to have it happen in Purgatory Oh the mercy of God ❤️

Here is the prayer: (According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory.) The Prayer of St. Gertrude Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen. God would reply to St. Gertrude that He would use whatever was offered to Him for the faithful departed, according to His inclination to show pardon & mercy.

Once again it's not a choice but declaration. Either we fully believe and proclaim Jesus is the Way, the Truth; the Life or else we falsely claim that we are are the way the truth the life. The only one with a choice in the matter is choice of God as Jesus the chosen one and those Jesus chooses who know Jesus to be the authentic Way, Truth; Life. To speak of that narrow way which few have the strength to enter, I'm convinced the narrow gate is the door to the confessional. You know we have a little purgatory here on earth that is called Confession. It puts us in the state of grace to receive the Eucharist with the great communion of saints. Those who bypass this grace do themselves harm and harm to the community of the faithful. This is why some among us have fallen asleep not believing in transubstantiation that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. If they forsake the cleansing of Reconciliation how will they be prepared for Purgatory's refining fire? I have come to see Purgatory in the final chapters of Revelation. There is a group of sinners bound for eternal damnation, the second death and another group of sinners in a place outside the city with the ability to be cleansed to enter the City of God. Could this be Purgatory? If so it's a suburb of heaven with a laundromat paid through penance and prayer to wash the peoples robes clean and be blessed to enter heaven. We do best to love Him and keep His commands but those who deceive themselves thinking they have no sin are sanctimonious delusional liars in the most wretched state and quite frightful to behold. I know I'm terrified for their sake be terrified for mine if I don't practice what I preach. Pray for the living and thrice as hard for the dead so they can in turn pray for us. All you holy angels and saints pray for us. Be blessed, Live blessed; bless others.

Word. Dr. Brant Pitre et al have also shown how some parables of Jesus reference purgatory implicitly. For example Luke 12:35-48 describes severe and light punishments given to servants who did not do the will of their master. Contrast this to Luke 19:11-27 in which a different unfaithful servant who buried the talent given to him instead of investing it was punished by being cast away into darkness.

I suspect the most consistent thing about life has to be its inconsistency. Don't all of us live with a fear of the unknown? It's this eerie inconsistency that keeps all of us living on the edges of our chairs. Yet it was in this inconsistency that God had His finest hour. Never did the good in the world so intertwine with the bad as it did on the cross. God on a Cross. Humanity at its worst. Divinity at Its best. God is not stumped by an evil world. He doesn't gasp in amazement at the depth of our faith or the depth of our failures. He knows the condition of the world and loves it just the same. For just when we find a place where God will never be (like on a cross) we look again and there He is, in the Flesh. The Peace of God transcends all logic, scheming and efforts to explain it. This kind of peace is not a human achievement. It is a gift from above(John 14:27). The peace that kept His thoughts clear and Heart pure as He hung on the cross. This was His Peace. This can be your peace. - Max Lucado Calm Moments for Anxious Days

The “dung hill covered in snow” analogy for imputed righteousness that Luther put forward makes a stark contrast with the idea that God gives us the grace to actually be transformed into his likeness. The concern that some have that this somehow undermines the role of God in salvation is misplaced - when I’m transformed it’s because God has given me the grace and it redounds entirely to his merit not mine. But the argument for me is won by the idea that the ongoing process of purification, before and after death, is for my benefit. “Dung hills” can’t enjoy the the presence of God and the intimacy to which he calls us. To prepare our hearts and minds to be with God forever is a process that takes time and is rarely complete before the person dies. If God made it happen without involving a process over time then it would be like being given a personality transplant and the sudden discontinuity would be the equivalent of “me” being destroyed and a different person being brought into existence. How blessed we are that God wants to patiently transform us, with our cooperation, into the people he calls us to be.

Day 140 takeaways: If you die in God’s grace, but imperfectly purified, the soul goes through a purification process. After the Fall, mankind became DEPRIVED of righteousness but we did not become DEPRAVED. Martin Luther professed that mankind became DEPRAVED and salvation was imputed to souls. Lutherans believe the soul is passively clothed with the saving graces of Christ, like snow covering a dung heap. Hence, the idea of once saved, always saved. Therefore there was no need for Purgatory. The Catholic view is more an intrinsic justification to obtain salvation, meaning that individuals must choose to cooperate with God’s grace. Yet, we all fall short. In Purgatory our hearts are made capable of loving God more fully. Throughout Scripture, from the very beginning, Christians prayed for the dead. (1 Corn, 3-15 and 1 Peter, 1-7) Jesus speaks of Gehenna (Hell) more than He speaks on any other subject. We cannot love God if we sin gravely against Him, or against our neighbor, or against ourselves. It’s one thing to DESIRE Heaven, but it’s another thing to CHOOSE it. Hell is the definitive SELF-EXCLUSION from Communion with God and the Blessed. The chief punishment of Hell is eternal separation from God. God predestines no one to go to Hell. He wants everyone to choose Him.

17:20 Jesus speaks more about Hell than any other figure in the entire Bible. Remember this when people dislike "the God of the Old Testament" because he's God of justice and judgement, and the "God of the New Testament" is God of mercy, patience and peace. That's a caricature. It's not true. Since we read in the Old Testament how merciful, patient, and good God is as well as just. And in the New Testament, not only is Jesus the Prince of Peace who came to bring mercy, forgiveness, salvation to the world, He speaks of Hell and the possibility that we can turn away from God more than any other figure in the entire Bible.

We are not a “dung hill” . Martin Luther was crowing in his purgatory courtyard denying Christ. He denied Christ was incarnate when he suggested we are dung. His Bible added words that were foolish. Martin Luther did not see God because he did not see Christ in him or others. The bishops who supported him used the parishes to deny Christ in them. It took me a long time to understand those Catholics in their parishes continue to deny Christ. The 95 theses nailed to the door did not have Christ in them. If the council of Trent had been held 40 years earlier, there would never have been a reformation!

The sin here spoken of is that blasphemy by which the Pharisees attributed the miracles of Christ, wrought by the Spirit of God, to Beelzebub the prince of devils. Now this kind of sin is usually accompanied with so much obstinacy and such willful opposing the Spirit of God and the known truth, that men who are guilty of it are seldom or never converted: and therefore, are never forgiven, because they will not repent. Otherwise, there is no sin which God cannot or will not forgive to such as sincerely repent and have recourse to the keys of the church. So, hardness of heart and willful obstinacy is how you blaspheme the Holy Spirit... it is the sin of final impenitence... refusal to turn toward God at the moment of death.

“Prayer with fasting is good. Almsgiving with righteousness is better than wealth with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold, for almsgiving saves from death, and purges all sin. Those who give alms will enjoy a full life,” ‭‭Tobit‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭
