The Inner Life
Fr. Marc Lenneman joins Patrick to discuss The Four Last Things * Why are the last four things? * (9:54) What is Death? * (13:32) Barbara -Purgatory: my husband died last year. What's the Church's teaching about how long one prays for the dead? (20:40) Break 1 * (22:50) Julie - Cremation: YES OR NO? If we love our Lord, do we go to hell? * How do we deal with the fear of purgatory * (32:51) Nicole - Having Masses said for the dead vs. offering my own Holy Communion for someone who has died. Is that latter a good spiritual practice? (39:06) Break 2 * (43:51) Jimena - Question: a second grade kid asked about when you die - do you reincarnate? How should I respond to him? * (46:41) Diane - Purgatory: I'm confused. Heaven is eternal, but there has to be time spent in purgatory. How does that work?
