Election Day Reflection & The Reality of Purgatory | On Faith, Hope, and Suffering

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. On this Election Day, we are reminded that everything that happens in the world occurs under God’s divine permission. No matter the outcome, we must keep our peace and trust that all things come from His loving hand — for our good and our sanctification. In this moving Catholic sermon, we reflect on: 🙏 The peace and humility needed during uncertain times. 🔥 The reality, purpose, and mercy of Purgatory. 📜 The teachings of the Church Fathers, the Council of Trent, and the tradition of the saints on the purifying fire of God’s love. 💀 Why we must pray for the holy souls in Purgatory — especially during the Octave of All Saints (Nov 1–8). 🕊️ How suffering, when united with love, purifies us on earth and increases our eternal reward. Let us remember: this life will pass, governments will rise and fall, but Christ the King will return and His Church will triumph. ✝️ Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. 📅 Don’t forget: from November 1st to 8th, Catholics can gain a plenary indulgence for the souls in Purgatory by visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead, under the usual conditions (Confession, Communion, prayer for the Holy Father, and detachment from sin). 🕰️ Timestamps: 0:00 – In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost 0:05 – Introduction: Election Day reflections 0:17 – God’s will and divine permission in all things 1:00 – We are pilgrims: “This too shall pass” 1:28 – The Church endures through every trial 2:00 – Christ the King will return 2:18 – The Octave of All Saints and the Holy Souls 2:55 – The reality of Purgatory 3:50 – Misunderstandings in modern times 4:35 – The need to pray for souls in Purgatory 5:23 – Saints and nuns on suffering and purification 6:00 – Scriptural and traditional basis for Purgatory 7:01 – The Council of Trent on Purgatory 7:34 – The early Church Fathers: St. Cyprian & St. Gregory 8:11 – The purifying fire and suffering for love of God 9:27 – The mercy and necessity of Purgatory 10:06 – Even saints expected to go to Purgatory 10:55 – Suffering on earth vs. after death 11:22 – The value of suffering and sanctification 12:08 – St. Ephrem on prayers for the dead 12:36 – Gaining indulgences for the souls in Purgatory 13:07 – Closing prayer for the faithful departed For more please visit http://reginaprophetarum.org/#/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicSermon #Purgatory #AllSoulsDay #AllSaintsDay #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicFaith #CatholicHomily #TrustInGod #PadrePio #CouncilOfTrent #EternalRest #CatholicChurch #PrayForTheDead #CatholicTeaching #FaithAndSuffering #ChristTheKing #CatholicTradition #CatholicSpirituality #SensusFidelium #CatholicReflection 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
