Views 237
Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Dec 23, 2022, on how the best way to prepare for Christ's coming is to cleans and refine ourselves with fire and soap.
Notes:
First Malachi 3: 1
Referring to John the Baptist
Angel messenger
What is God’s temple? Jesus body
Calvary is his altar
Mal 3: 2 Who will endure his coming?
Refers to 2nd coming
Fire and soap, refine and cleans
Baptism but the purification continues throughout life, and purgatory finishes what is not completed during life.
1 pet 3: 5 we all share in the priesthood
Rom 12: 1 nothing unclean can enter heaven
Allow Our Lady to send the Holy Spirit to cleanse us.
Ave Maria!
