As the world focuses on elections and politics, Fr. Mark Baron reminds us that November calls Catholics to something far deeper — the Last Things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. While political outcomes can stir hope or despair, Fr. Mark challenges us to shift our trust from men to God, who alone rules history and every soul.St. Paul writes, “For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God” (Rom 14:10). Each of us will give an account of our lives — of every thought, word, and deed, both good and evil. In that moment, nothing will be hidden from the gaze of the Almighty. Saints like Isaiah and St. Faustina describe the awe of standing before the thrice-holy God — a moment not of mere fear, but of truth, justice, and mercy.This meditation is not meant to terrify us, but to awaken a holy fear that leads to repentance and renewed love for Christ. The Lord told St. Faustina, “When a soul realizes the gravity of its sins, let it not despair, but with trust let it throw itself into the arms of My mercy” (Diary, 1541).In this month dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, Fr. Mark invites us to live with eternity in mind. Judgment is certain — but so is Divine Mercy for those who turn to Jesus. Let this sober truth inspire us to live for Heaven, not the fleeting victories of earth.Watch today's Daily Homily with Fr. Mark Baron on Divine Mercy Plus and deepen your reflection on life, death, and the eternal mercy of God.#marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #frmarkbaron #divinemercyplus #soulsinpurgatory #lastthings #catholichomily #catholictiktok #eternallife #divinemercydevotion #judgmentseatofgod #trustinjesus #heavenorhell ★ Support this podcast ★

Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast to discuss a Catholic perspective on grief during this month dedicated to the Holy Souls. Other guests include Rita Heikenfeld with a recipe for “eggs in purgatory,” and Courtney Brown from Ruah Woods with more on how Theology of the Body help us understand the difference between humans and artificial intelligence. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** Prayer of St. John Eudes O my Lord, what poor use I have made of creatures! Pardon me, O Lord! Henceforth I do not want to use anything unless it is for Your glory and according to Your holy will, as Your Son Jesus did. O my God, if in the past I have turned aside from You who are my Beginning, my End, and my supreme good; if I have turned toward myself and creatures, preferring their will and mine to Yours, I here and now promise to renounce, entirely and forever the world and myself, and to give myself wholly and forever to You. O my God, I give myself to You as my Beginning; take complete possession of me. May I always abide in You! Be the beginning and end of all my actions. O my God, I give myself to You as my End, my Center, my supreme Good. Draw me to You! Make me tend continually toward You. Be my delight, my glory, my treasure, my all! ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: EGGS IN PURGATORY (Recipe adapted slightly from Pina Bresciani) Ingredients Olive oil 1/2 of a small onion, about 1/4 cup chopped real fine 2 garlic cloves minced – a good 2 teaspoons 14 oz can peeled plum tomatoes ¼ teaspoon chili flakes 1 tablespoon torn basil or 1 teaspoon or so dried 4 eggs A good cup Parmesan, grated and divided Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Film a 10-12” skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion and sauté until soft but not fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and chili flakes and continue to sauté until garlic is cooked through, another 1 minute. While onion and garlic are sautéing, pour the tomatoes into a bowl and mash them up with a fork. Once onion and garlic are finished cooking, add canned tomatoes to the skillet. Also rinse out the can of tomatoes, and the bowl where you mashed the tomatoes. Add this tomato water to the sauce (about ½ cup). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the tomato sauce until it has thickened, 10-15 minutes. Add torn basil to sauce and stir. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Form a small well in the sauce and pour the egg into the well. Do this 4 times. Sprinkle the eggs with about half the cheese.Cook the eggs in the tomato sauce, partially covered, until the whites are set, but the yolks still runny, about 5 minutes. Or as firm as you like. We like them firmer. Top the eggs with remaining parmesan cheese, additional pepper and basil if desired. ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Purgatory is the purification, the liberation, the healing that we still need — even after death — to prepare us for the immense, tremendous life that God has in store for us in Heaven. Purgatory is very different than Hell; it's not “Hell Lite.” It's got nothing to do with condemnation, fear, or punishment. It's about a Father who loves us so much that even after death, He refuses to give up on us and leave us incomplete, too weak to stand in the dazzling light of His presence.   Readings at this Mass: Wis 3:1–9 | Rom 5:5–11 | Jn 6:37–40

Friends of the Rosary,From November 1st to the 8th, we celebrate the Octave of the Faithful Departed by praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and acknowledging that they, too, are praying for us.The majority of people who die are not saints: they might be God's friends as they are not against the Lord, but at the same time are not fully initiated into the divine life, as Bishop Barron explains. Therefore, after death, they will undergo a period of purification and preparation for eternal life.The effect of sin that endures in them will be burned away in God's time. This way, they will be prepared to receive the full embrace of the divine love.The doctrine of purgatory is deeply hopeful. The holy souls are very close to us, and we to them. They relate to us through prayer, and we to them, as well. We all glorify our Lord.Today, November 3, we celebrate the feast day of St. Martin de Porres.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

ShownotesLast week we talked to Susan Brinkman from Women of Grace about necromancy, mediums and conjuring the dead and as our conversation confirmed God forbids these actions.  Ironically, in today's episode we are going to talk about what the deceased want us to know about heaven and purgatory.  But I promise you we are breaking no rules. As Susan pointed out last week there are disembodied souls waiting for us to pray them into heaven, but we should not try to contact them.  In fact there are many Saints in the church who have had approved visions: Padre Pio, St. Tolentino, St. Gertrude, as well as even mystic Maria Simma, whose writings about the souls in purgatory received the imprimatur. Souls who have come from purgatory have sought out the prayers of individuals to gain entrance into heaven. Yet the question remains: What can we learn from these souls? Our GuestsLeslea Wahl lives in beautiful Colorado and is the author of several award-winning teen novels. She strives to write stories that encourage teens to grow in their faith through fun adventurous mysteries. Leslea is often inspired by her family, their travels, and real-life adventures. She particularly enjoys including the furry, four-legged members of her family in her novels. Besides writing Leslea also reviews faith-based novels on her website and is a founding member of CatholicTeenBooks.com.Theresa Linden is the author of award-winning Catholic fiction for children, teens, and adults, including Tortured Soul, a purgatory soul story that won recognition in the Catholic Media Association book awards. One of her great joys is to bring elements of the Catholic Faith to life through a story. A wife, retired homeschooling mom, and Secular Franciscan, she resides in northeast Ohio with her family. Links from the showJennifer's Letters to Mom and Dad‘The Incorruptibles': Who Are These Mysterious Saints?St. JeromeShadows: Visible and Invisible, part of the Catholic Teen Books: Visible & Invisible -AnthologySeries available at Catholicteenbooks.comAllhallowtideSoulcakesScripture Verses“Great Mary who has worked for you…” “for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead.But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought.Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be absolved from their sin.2 Maccabees 12:44-46” Prayer from St. GertrudeEternal Father, I offer You the most Precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home, and within my family.

10-31-25: November, the Month of Holy Souls – Fr. Ryan Lee by

These two important and great days that herald the beginning of the month of November, the month of the Holy Souls, are worthy of our attention together this year because one falls on a Saturday and one on a Sunday. Not just for that reason though, together they tells us about who we are and where we are going. They remind us also of the doctrine of the Communion of the Saints on earth, in heaven and in purgatory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9scqFrX-zc&list=RDL9scqFrX-zc&start_radio=1 If you would like to contact me to provide feedback, suggestions or to ask questions you can do this via email:frpchandler@armidale.catholic.org.auAlso if you would like to support me in this work, please send me an email and I will provide details for how you can make a donation.

Beyond The Outer Realm Special Feature Michelle Welcomes Very Special Guest Eira Wulfnothsson Date: October 28th, 2025 EP: 633 TOPIC: The Rescued Becomes The Rescuer- Eira Wulfnothsson joins me to discuss her incredible journey - Born into a Luciferian World, decades long Occult Practitioner. Her path changed after an amazing Experience with The Blessed Mother. She is now in service to Christ! Christ as a Spiritual Warrior. This is truly a story which needs to be told! Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com About Eira Wulfnothsson - Eira was a practicing occultist for over four decades. Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos. Eira's YouTube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” - The Devil's Mistake is a dissertation on Evil and Magicka; their ancient origins, how they are at work in the world and how to inoculate yourself against them. The work is written through the eyes of a life-long practicing occultist who became a devoted Roman Catholic after a mystical experience with Mary, Mother of God. Within the manuscript the author illuminates a vast array of metaphysical topics based on her classical occult education in order to assist Christians in identifying the many occult rituals worked against them via the media, political and public ceremonies, as well as staged catastrophic events. These “rituals,” or operations within a system of Magicka, are performed in order to blind, influence and control humanity; clarity is given to the elite Luciferian mind and agenda. Also, readers will learn the crucial reason their consent is always required when evil is worked against them, what that looks like, and the “who” that requires it and “why.” The author also addresses the ever-changing UFO/UAP narrative demonstrating that this phenomenon identifies more as classical fallen angel activity than advanced terrestrial or alleged extraterrestrial technology. Readers will also be given understanding regarding “places of power” used since the beginning of time by ancient magicians and sorcerers to bring “these gods” (fallen angels) into our world physically and why 100 percent of our world-wide sacred sites are built upon them based on both the physical and metaphysical sciences. Lastly, readers will come to understand how God is always at work to counter these evils, why He sometimes allows them, and how we've been called to assist Him within this great battle of good versus evil. A battle, in fact, that was already won over two thousand years ago.

Festivities are held in the historic Westside neighborhood, home to many of Kansas City's Latinx residents. It began in the classrooms of the Mattie Rhodes Art Center where children worked on Dia de los Muertos themed projects after school. It was in one of those classrooms that Richard Bay, a local artist and art educator in the Kansas City Public School District, held a discussion night about the holiday where an impressive crowd gathered to learn about its traditional practices. The people's interest was apparent, as was the need for more space, and thus a gallery was opened next door in order to foster a space for cultural and artistic education. Since then Mattie Rhodes Center has dedicated itself to this idea and hosts a variety of events during Dia de los Muertos, including an altar exhibition made for and by members of the community, cultural workshops and tours, and related celebrations in the streets of the Westside. Altogether, we hope to create an experience that is similar to and honors the traditional celebration of Dia de los Muertos in Mexico. We cherish the connections and collaborations we have made through this event with our community members as well as valued institutions around the city such as the Kansas City Museum in the Northeast, Stonelion Puppets Theater, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The holiday of Dia de los Muertos varies from place to place, from person to person. The holiday originates in Mexico, though it is celebrated in many other countries in different forms. Dia de los Muertos embodies themes from both All Saints and All Souls Day (Catholic holidays) and those of the Aztecs and the Mayans. The culminations of these many beliefs focus on families reflecting upon those who have passed and rejoice in the happiness they once shared. Even though families are saddened by a loved one's departure, they do not cry on the Day of the Dead. The elders say the road back to the world of the living must not be made slippery by tears. El Dia de Los Muertos evokes happy and sad emotions, but it is always a celebration that unites the living the dead together for a short time. The holiday can be seen as practice in which we laugh at death, we triumph over it by celebrating life. While Halloween focuses on scary images of monsters, witches and other frights, the Day of the Dead displays a strong sense of respect and love for family, ancestry, and community. Death is a natural part of life, and this holiday allows people to talk and laugh about death and lose some of their fear. Although traditionally Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, many people celebrate the days of the dead from October 18th through November 9th, with each day dedicated to different groups of souls, also including a thirteen day feast. For this celebration of life and death, ofrendas (altars) are constructed for those who have passed and people tell stories and reflect on the good times they all once shared. There are many standards for the creation of the altars. Specific items are called for, the inclusion of the four elements (earth, wind, fire, and water), a towel and bowl of water, a cushion or chair, photographs, candles, flowers, personal items and even food. Our exhibit of altars and artwork displays and explains these aspects and brings others to the surface. Some work portrays the traditional aspects of the day of the dead, while others reflect contemporary views that push the principles of ofrendas. They also present many different views to the public, some dedicated to family and others purely aesthetic. The artwork of various local artists on the walls stirs up the celebration and positive energy that the holiday exudes. The fiestas take you right to the heart of Mexico with the parade, performers, live music, food, activities, marketplace, and art that involve the entire community. The workshops teach you how to decorate and prepare for the festivities, and the slide presentation shows you first hand accounts of the holiday in Mexico. Overall, we bring you many ways to learn, understand, experience and celebrate this wonderful and uplifting Mexican holiday. Traditional Mexican Calendar: Many people witness the holiday of Dia de los Muertos on November 1st and 2nd, All Saints and All Souls Days. In some areas of Mexico the holiday begins as early as October 18th and lasts through November 9th. Although the days change from place to place and family to family, the basic festivities remain the same. Below is a calendar of the Days of the Dead from many areas in Mexico. October 25th- The Feast of the Holy Souls. This is the beginning of a 13-day feast of the dead for the Tzeltals of Mexico. Here graves are decorated with pine needles and tusus (yellow wildflowers). October 27th- The souls of those who have no living family members are offered breads and water from jugs on this day. October 28th- On this day the accidentados return (the souls of those who died in accidents). This is also the day for the souls who have caused great harm or murder to return. They are also offered jugs of water and breads. These souls are un-forgiven for their acts, so their offerings are placed outside the houses or in the corner of a church. October 30th- The unbaptized souls return on this day. The children who visit on this day are known as Los Ninos Limbos (children who died before baptism). October 31st- Angelitos (the souls of children) show up on this day and must return to the land of the dead by afternoon of the following day. Toys and candy are left for them. November 1st- The souls of the dead adults return today. Cigars, cigarettes, alcohol and liquor is left out for the adults only on this day. The adults may remain until the next day. Many families spend the night in the cemetery to spend time with them. This day is known as All Saints Day, a Catholic festival day. Someone is called to ring a bell through town or in the church to summon the souls of the adults. November 2nd- Known as All Souls Day, another Catholic festival day. This day focuses on the living assisting the dead in their move into Heaven. This is usually the last day of celebration and includes the largest fiestas. By the end of the day, all the souls must leave, and to help them along, the mummers (dancers) wear costumes and masks and run through the streets dancing and singing, trying to scare the spirits back to the land of the dead. November 3rd- The living may share and eat the objects from the altar. People usually give their objects to their neighbors saying, they were left for them by the souls. In Mixquic, a bellman rings a bell on the hours of each day of the dead to announce the different happenings and rituals to be performed. The Aztecs dedicated an entire month to the dead. The month was called Miccailhuitontli, and was named after and presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, who was the Lady of the Dead. This happens from July 24th through August 12th. During this month, rituals were dedicated to her and the god of war known as Huitzilopochtli. This was the time of the harvest and it was believed that the souls followed the scents of the harvest in order to find their way to their altars.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims, welcome back. As Mother Cabrini declares, it's another gorgeous day at sea. Also, of note, we've read 100 pages of the book.  Mother Cabrini is going to talk about the Holy Souls in purgatory today and how it's so important to offer prayers for them. Purgatory is actually a place of mercy. We know that Heaven is perfect and therefore nothing imperfect can enter Heaven. Most of us, when we die, do not have perfect souls and so we need to go and be purified of our venial sins and the stains of forgiven sins.  All those who are in purgatory will eventually come into the glory of Heaven. We need to offer prayers for those that have died to aid them in their time of purification.  Let's hear what Mother Cabrini has to say by turning to page 100. 

Send us a textWhat really happens in purgatory? In this powerful video, we explore the four major sufferings of purgatory—the deep spiritual pain that Catholic saints and mystics have described for centuries. From the privation of God to the torment of flames, remorse of conscience, and the pain of unrealized holiness, this episode brings clarity to what souls endure and why our prayers are so urgently needed.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Send us a textIs Purgatory just a theological idea—or can it leave behind physical evidence?In this powerful episode, Ken and Janelle share one of the most astonishing Catholic mystical encounters ever recorded: the 1859 apparition of Sister Teresa Gesta, a holy nun who returned from Purgatory to leave a burnt handprint on a wooden door in her convent near Foligno, Italy.This remarkable event was thoroughly investigated by the Church and even documented by respected Catholic figures like St. Thomas Aquinas, Monsignor de Ségur, and Father F.X. Schouppe in The Dogma of Purgatory. It's a chilling reminder that Purgatory is real, that even the smallest sins are purified after death, and that our prayers for the dead truly matter.

Welcome back to The Latin Prayer Podcast! Today, we're diving into the 100 Requiem Chaplet—a powerful devotion for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, with a profound connection to Blessed Anna Maria Taigi. Bl. Anna Maria, a mystic and visionary, was given extraordinary insights into the spiritual realm. One of her greatest devotions was this chaplet, which she prayed fervently for the release of souls from purgatory. It is said that through this prayer, countless souls were freed and abundant graces were poured out from Heaven. In this episode, I'll walk you through the 100 Requiem Chaplet, how to pray it, and why it holds such a privileged place in Catholic tradition. If you've never prayed this before, you may be surprised by the depth of its power and the graces attached to it.

Friends of the Rosary, This month is dedicated to praying for the holy souls in purgatory, all in the purifying suffering, awaiting to join the heavenly glory. These souls include our family members and friends who died in grace and are assured of their eternal salvation. But these elected people still need to achieve full glory. They fell asleep, imploring the Lord to grant them a place of happiness, light, and peace. It's critical, therefore, to remember that purgatory is temporary. Its duration varies according to the sentence at each judgment. We also know that at the end of the world, at the end of time, the place of temporary expiation will end. A way to say a prayer for the Poor Souls is reciting the Little Litany of the Holy Souls. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • November 14, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Friends of the Rosary, November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, whose feast was celebrated on November 2. Also, this month, on November 24, the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, is the Solemnity of Christ the King. This feast highlights Jesus' royalty as God the Creator, the Word Incarnate, and the Redeemer. As we read in the Gospel today (Luke 14:15-24), the King of Kings invites us to a wedding feast in Heaven. And we must respond. It's a critical invitation to enter into intimacy with God and make him the center of our lives, avoiding excuses not to respond. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

Msgr. Esseff reflects on the teaching of the Sacred Scriptures and on how we pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory: Reading 1 Wis 3:1-9 The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if before men, indeed, they be punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble; they shall judge nations and rule over peoples, and the LORD shall be their King forever. Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love: because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his elect.

O Lord, who art ever merciful and bounteous with Thy gifts, look down upon the suffering souls in purgatory. Remember not their offenses and negligence's, but be mindful of Thy loving mercy, which is from all eternity. Cleanse them of their sins and fulfill their ardent desires that they may be made worthy to behold Thee face to face in Thy glory. May they soon be united with Thee and hear those blessed words that will call them to their heavenly home: "Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen

ShownotesLast week we talked to Susan Brinkman from Women of Grace about necromancy, mediums and conjuring the dead and as our conversation confirmed God forbids these actions.  Ironically, in today's episode we are going to talk about what the deceased want us to know about heaven and purgatory.  But I promise you we are breaking no rules. As Susan pointed out last week there are disembodied souls waiting for us to pray them into heaven, but we should not try to contact them.  In fact there are many Saints in the church who have had approved visions: Padre Pio, St. Tolentino, St. Gertrude, as well as mystic Maria Simma, whose writings about the souls in purgatory received the imprimatur. Souls who have come from purgatory have sought out the prayers of individuals to gain entrance into heaven. Yet the question remains: What can we learn from these souls? Our GuestsLeslea Wahl lives in beautiful Colorado and is the author of several award-winning teen novels. She strives to write stories that encourage teens to grow in their faith through fun adventurous mysteries. Leslea is often inspired by her family, their travels, and real-life adventures. She particularly enjoys including the furry, four-legged members of her family in her novels. Besides writing Leslea also reviews faith-based novels on her website and is a founding member of CatholicTeenBooks.com.Theresa Linden is the author of award-winning Catholic fiction for children, teens, and adults, including Tortured Soul, a purgatory soul story that won recognition in the Catholic Media Association book awards. One of her great joys is to bring elements of the Catholic Faith to life through a story. A wife, retired homeschooling mom, and Secular Franciscan, she resides in northeast Ohio with her family. Links from the show​Mourning Glory Podcast S3 E7: Talking to Mediums with Susan Brinkmann, OCDS​‘The Incorruptibles': Who Are These Mysterious Saints? ​St. Jerome​Shadows: Visible and Invisible, part of the Catholic Teen Books: Visible & Invisible -Anthology Series available at Catholicteenbooks.com​AllhallowtideScripture Verses​“Greet Mary who has worked for you…” Romans 16:6​“for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead.
