What is Purgatory?

About this sermon

We all want to be saints, but the struggle against sin and selfishness can feel overwhelming. There may be days where we might feel satisfied simply making it to purgatory rather than entering the pearly gates. But is this lukewarm path the only way to make it to heaven? Today Fr. Mike delves into the reality that in this life, we are given every opportunity to prepare our souls for God’s presence. Embracing the sufferings of this moment purifies us the way the refining fire of purgatory would. In this way, we can prepare ourselves in this temporary world to live alongside our Lord in the everlasting world. ❓ Have ideas for future videos ❓ Topics you want to hear about ❓ Questions you want answered ❓ Make sure to put #AskAscension in your comment 👍 — MORE FROM ASCENSION — 🔸Ascension’s main website: https://tinyurl.com/2rx3olpa 🔸Ascension Media: https://tinyurl.com/2exdotff 🔸The Great Adventure Bible: https://tinyurl.com/2hb5cmoj — SOCIAL MEDIA — 🔸Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AscensionPress/ 🔸Twitter: http://twitter.com/AscensionPress 🔸LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ascension-press 🔸Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ascensionpress/ 🔸Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/ascensionpresents — BULLDOG CATHOLIC — 🔸YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXzB400_Skw95z2TmAsSkIg 🔸iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/umd-newman-catholic-campus-ministry/id273537688
