Nov 02 – Homily – Fr Elias: Purgatory can be Avoided

Views 2151



Homily #141102b ( 21min) Play - Fr. Elias reads from the writings of the saints to show that, although it truly is possible to avoid purgatory altogether and go straight to heaven, few manage to do so. One of the best ways to avoid it is to trust in the mercy of God.
Ave Maria!

    Ave Maria! Thank you, Father Elias, for this very Carmelite homily. I was filled with joy listening to the words about purgatory,from Therese of the Child Jesus’ spiritual experience of Mary’s love for her, and her own total surrender to Jesus through Mary. As a third Order carmelite, I often find, when listening to the homilies from airmaria, great similarities between Franciscan of the Immaculate and Carmelite spirituality.
    Ave Maria!
