All Souls’ Day Sermon | The Power of Suffrages, Purgatory & St. Christine the Admirable

About this sermon

🙏 In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. On All Souls’ Day, the Church invites us to remember the souls in Purgatory—our brothers and sisters of the Church Suffering—and to assist them through prayer, indulgences, almsgiving, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this sermon, we explore one of the dogmas of the Catholic faith: “The living faithful can come to the assistance of the souls in Purgatory by their intercessions or suffrages.” Fr. reflects on the teaching of St. Robert Bellarmine and the extraordinary life of St. Christine the Admirable, whose mystical experiences give us a vivid glimpse into Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell. This powerful reflection reminds us of the Communion of Saints — the union of the Church Militant, Church Suffering, and Church Triumphant — and our sacred duty to pray for the departed. 🔥 Key themes include: The Catholic dogma of Purgatory The meaning of suffrages and intercession The story of St. Christine the Admirable How our prayers assist the holy souls The eternal importance of living according to our faith and God’s revealed truth 💀 All Souls’ Day is not just a memorial—it’s a call to charity, sacrifice, and hope in the mercy of God. 📖 “It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.” — 2 Maccabees 12:46 ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – In the Name of the Father… (Opening Prayer) 00:06 – The Dogma of the Souls in Purgatory 00:43 – Living According to Faith 01:00 – Offering Suffrages for the Holy Souls 01:10 – The Story of St. Christine the Admirable 02:20 – Her Vision of Purgatory and Hell 03:07 – The Lord’s Mission for St. Christine 04:07 – Her Return to Earth and Life of Penance 05:00 – The Miraculous Sufferings of St. Christine 06:29 – The Church Militant, Suffering, and Triumphant 07:59 – The Nature of Purgatory Explained 08:19 – Temporal Punishment and Divine Justice 09:23 – The Dogmas on Purgatory 09:54 – The Call to Assist the Souls in Purgatory 10:14 – Closing Blessing (In the Name of the Father…) For more please visit http://svfonline.org/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #AllSoulsDay #CatholicFaith #Purgatory #HolySouls #CatholicSermon #SensusFidelium #TraditionalCatholic #PrayForTheDead #CatholicHomily #ChurchMilitant #CommunionOfSaints #CatholicTeaching #StChristineTheAdmirable #CatholicPrayer 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
