Oh, my goodnes. This session was so powerful. How can anyone not wish for, work for and strive to see God's JOYFUL Face at the hour of our death. To be without that forever is unbearable.

[@brendazolli3059]

I started thinking about my death in my mid 30’s, when an unexpected diagnosis of cancer arrived. But it was a blessing in disguise, as it got me on my knees, really seeking God. I am now in my 80’s despite one recurrence and thankful to the mercy of God who has sustained me, all my life. I do think frequently of my not so far away death. But I am calm and looking forward to meeting my Heavenly Father. I hope that I will achieve heaven. I know that He loves me and Intrust in Him. Praise His wonderful Name. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I like when Fr. Mike said to practice to imagine our death on a regular basis. This is an eye opener for me, to focus on the things which is unseen and ask God the final grace of perseverance. Thank you Fr. Mike for the word of wisdom each and everyday!

All so beautiful! I cried when you told the story about the dying man ! I love when we say the ‘great’ Amen after the Eucharistic prayers ! Think just what happened on the altar, bread and wine transformed into the body and blood of Jesus ! We are truly blessed ! ❤

[@rm-paradise]

As we finish up on this last chapter of Purification and the Last Judgement, let us offer a prayer for those holy souls that are in Purgatory. We pray for their stony hearts to soften and wait to hear the wonderful words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." as He welcomes them into paradise with Him forever. Amen. 5/23/2023

Father Mike, you have not only taught me so much about our faith and how it works, you have given me the ability and the courage to speak to God as me, in my own voice, : to pray. Your example of heartfelt prayer is so inspiring. Today you taught us something that could well save our souls: to meditate on the moment after our death. Bible in a Year and now CIY have transformed my worship. THANK YOU. God bless you. (A relatively new, 5 year Catholic)

My brother-in-law was a "devout" atheist all his life. When his heart was failing and he was told he was too weak to be a viable candidate for a transplant, he confided in me that "I've been saying a lot of Hail Marys lately." I only wish he had shared that with his wife and other members of the family who don't share our faith.
