The World is Passing Away – Aug 05 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

00:00 - Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Aug 05, 2022, on the Gospel reading:

00:20 - "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his immortal soul."

00:58 - 1 Cor 7 :31 The world is passing away

01:14 - Eternity differs in both degree and duration.

Pleasure and pain in this world is slight and only last a short time, while what comes in the next life is much greater and lasts for eternity, whether that be punishment or reward.

02:55 St. Francis "Pleasure is short, punishment everlasting. Suffering is slight, glory infinite"

03:40 Why be a religious? Why not? This world is passing away.

Ave Maria!
