What will you actually see in heaven?

On the final day of our Holy Souls Novena, Fr. Rocky wraps up the four last things with the one we all hope for: heaven. His answer about who you’ll see there may surprise you, and so might where he says heaven actually begins.

Where have you caught a glimpse of heaven here on earth?

Be honest. Are you ready for heaven today?

Most of us aren’t quite there yet. Father Rocky compares it to picking up your prom date and hearing, “Give her 10 more minutes.”

That’s purgatory. Not lost, just not ready yet. The souls there can’t pray for themselves, but we can. Once they reach heaven, they pray for us.

Years ago, Biagio da Cesena complained about the Last Judgment. Weeks later, he found his own face among those being dragged to hell. He asked the pope to have it removed, and the pope’s answer is the whole point of today’s lesson.

Have you ever visited the Sistine Chapel?

Afraid of judgment? Say these five words.

Day 6 of the Holy Souls Novena: Fr. Rocky explains the particular judgment and the Last Judgment, and why every kindness you show keeps adding up until the end of time. Worried about that day? Pray it often: Jesus, I trust in you.

Whose kindness are you still benefiting from today?

Say this prayer before bed. Every night.

It’s Day 5 of our Holy Souls Novena, and Father Rocky is taking on the first of the Four Last Things: death. None of us knows when it will come. That’s why the wise move is to stay ready by remaining in a state of grace. His advice is simple: end every day with an Act of Contrition, the same one he learned in 2nd grade.
