Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Fires of Divine Justice: Understanding and Assisting Souls in Purgatory

[Direct link to the MP3 fileSubscribe using a modern podcast app]

Purgatory is REAL and SEVERE! It is a place where souls in a state of Grace, but not yet fully purified, undergo intense suffering to atone for their sins. It is important to offer prayers and Masses for the Poor Souls, especially Gregorian Masses, and acts of Charity for the relief of these souls. Purgatory is a manifestation of God’s Justice and His Mercy. We need to strive for holiness in this life to avoid the suffering of purgatory and to assist the holy souls through spiritual works of mercy.

Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon:

  • Saint Augustine: “It cannot be doubted that the prayers of the Church, the Holy Sacrifice, and alms distributed for the departed relieve those holy souls.”
  • Saint Bonaventure: “Ponder in mind on the joy of heaven… let your soul hunger and your body thirst for it.”
  • Saint Catherine of Genoa: “How terrible are those expiatory pains since they have caused me to mistake minutes for a year.”
  • Saint Gregory: “The same fire torments the damned and purifies the elect.”
  • Saint Monica (to Saint Augustine): “The one thing I ask of you is that you will be mindful of me at the altar of the Lord.”
  • Saint Anthony Mary Claret: “The souls in hell are like fish in water, but they are in fire—consumed by it.”

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] How to Have a Holy Death

[Direct link to the MP3 fileSubscribe using a modern podcast app]

To prepare well for death, meditate on it daily, as Scripture and the Saints advise. The thought of death restrains sin while ignoring it leads to presumption and spiritual ruin. Always remain in a state of Grace because death is certain but its timing is unknown. Avoid the illusion that you can repent later: many die suddenly, without warning. Detach now from worldly possessions and pleasures, as death separates you from all earthly things. Live as if today were your last day, focusing on prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and devotion to God. The road to heaven is found in the Church, the Sacraments, and obedience to God’s will. Do not delay repentance: God’s Mercy is great, but His Justice is both great and real as well.

Books recommended in this Mission Sermon:

  • St. Gregory – God conceals the hour of death so we remain vigilant
  • St. Bernard – Always live in expectation of death to avoid sin
  • St. Robert Bellarmine – The art of dying well requires living well
  • St. Augustine – God hides the day of death to keep us prepared
  • St. Vincent Ferrer – Few habitual sinners receive the grace of a good death
  • St. Jerome – Most who persist in sin until death are lost
  • Book of Tobias, Ch. 12 – Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving deliver the soul from death
  • Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 24 – Be ready, for you do not know the hour
  • Isaiah 29:13 – True prayer comes from the heart, not just the lips
  • James 4:3 – Prayers must be rightly ordered to be effective
