In the modern, post-Vatican II Catholic Church, you don't hear much about the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell. Francis, said by some to be Pope, prefers to "dialogue" with the enemies of Christianity about social justice, saving the planet, and other fashionable topics.
It is left, then, to good bishops and priests, who hold fast to the Faith of Our Fathers, to warn up about what will -- not might, but will -- happen to all of us, sooner or later. Mitred Archpriest Roman Galadza, pastor of Saint Elias Ukrainian Catholic Church, in Brampton ON, is such a priest.
In this short homily, preached yesterday, the Sunday of the Last Judgement, he uses the example of the ugly pictures which dentists used to hang in their offices to show what will happen to your teeth if you don't look after them. So also, if we don't take care of our souls, so that, like the Prodigal Son, we come home to Heaven, we will surely spend eternity in Hell. Please listen and think.
