Have you ever met anyone that’s had a near death experience? During this week’s episode, Fr. Joseph told me (Matt) about the experience one of the Diocese’s own pastors. He died, experienced purgatory and judgement, but was given a second chance by Our Lord. This week, we discussed the Four Last Things; Death, Judgement, Hell, (Purgatory) and Heaven. We discussed not only near death experiences, but what Scripture, Tradition and the Mystics tell us of these experiences and places. St. Faustina’s description of Hell is… terrifying. Truly “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Simultaneously, as we seek to understand Heaven, it’s… exciting! Perhaps, most importantly, we discuss the proper way to hope in Our Lord’s mercy.
