Bishop Barron: Purgatory on Earth
(View segment from :11 to 1:54)
Why would anyone willingly go through this?
- Physical suffering purifies our souls when we offer it as a sacrifice to God.
- When we accept suffering, we “take up our cross and follow” Jesus.
- Willingly choosing to suffer strengthens our will to be able to choose God’s Will no matter the cost.
What little sufferings can you take on to purify your heart?
- Extra chores.
- Any acts of charity.
- Anything that puts the love of God and others first in your life.
