On the joy of the blessed in heaven, and the peace that comes from the permanent and everlasting union with God. The saints in heaven cannot sin, and are perfectly free. We will know our relatives and friends in heaven, and also will enjoy our glorified bodies after the resurrection on the last day.

Sunday Sermon, November 19 -- Purgatory, In Scripture and Tradition (Sunday Sermons on the Last Things, 4 of 5)
The dogma of Purgatory (a place of purgation after death for those found worthy of heaven, but not yet perfectly ready for heaven) is still taught by the Church and must be believed in order to be saved.
We consider the biblical and traditional foundations of this dogma, as well as the reasonableness of purgatory in relation to God's mercy and his justice.

Sunday Sermon, November 12 -- On the Real Possibility of Hell (Sermons on the Last Things, part 3 of 5)
In the final three weeks of the Liturgical Year, we consider: Hell, Purgatory, Heaven.
Hell is revealed in Sacred Scripture, and is a regular part of the preaching of Jesus Christ. No one tells us more about hell in Scripture, than our Lord. And Jesus indicates that hell is a real possibility - that perhaps most go to hell (through the wide gate) and only a very few are saved (through the narrow gate).
We consider the four sins which St Alphonsus indicates as the main ways that people go to hell after death: Hatred of our neighbor, blasphemy against God, theft, and impurity.
