Summary

Fr. Mike breaks down the doctrine of purgatory as we read about Judas Maccabeus and his army praying for the dead in 2 Maccabees 12. We learn that purgatory is a process of purification that our hearts need in order to be ready to love God and to enter into his presence. In our reading of Wisdom today, Fr. Mike emphasizes the insanity of worshipping idols and how it's more tempting to make idols out of good things rather than evil things. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 12, Wisdom 13-14, and Proverbs 25:11-14.

0:04.1	the Catechism in a year or the Bible in your podcast. We hear stories every day about how those shows
0:09.4	have transformed people's lives, and because of your prayers and financial gifts, you are a significant
0:13.6	part of that. You might ask a question, though. The question is, what does this intention do with
0:17.3	these financial gifts? Great question. The answer is we make authentically Catholic
0:21.7	podcasts and videos and other digital content to help people know the Catholic faith and grow closer
0:26.5	to God and we do it all for free. If you found this podcast to be helpful in your life and
0:32.2	would like to help us continue making free Catholic content we can post online, please consider making a financial
0:38.5	contribution, an ongoing financial contribution by going to ascensionpress.com
