Have Not Heard This Truth In Some Time. How About You?


(Photo©Michael Seagriff)

Why must there be a general judgment since each one is judged individually at the moment of death? There are five reasons: that in a solemn fashion an end may be put to the human race; that the result of the particular judgment of each one may be made known to all men; that men as members of human society may be publicly judged, showing their influence for good or evil, since both good and evil spread on and until the  end of time; that the wisdom and justice of God may be seen and acknowledged by all men and the evil judgments of the world corrected; and that solemn and public submission of all creatures endowed with reason may be given to God.

Saint John Paul II

What A Priceless and Undeserved Gift!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The effects of Holy Communion are: spiritual nourishment of the soul (an increase in sanctifying grace, of the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit); intimate union of the soul with Christ and with His mystical body through grace and charity; a diminishing or mitigating of sensual passions; a glorious resurrection of the body; the remission of venial sins; the remission in some part or in great part of the temporal punishment due to sin; and spiritual sweetness and delights.  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S
