At first thought meditating on your inevitable death might seem morbid, negative or unnecessary but all the saints did it. Thomas a Kempis in the Imitation of Christ has a chapter on meditating on our death. The aim of this mediation is to cut us free from earthly cares that inhibit our loving God and God alone. We consider how our bodily cares are transient. St Teresa of Avila says: "Remember that you have only one soul, that you have only one death to die, that you...
Why would St Ignatius want us to meditate on Hell? God does not send anyone to Hell. When we commit a mortal sin we take the hand of Satan and say, lead me on. And on we go with him into Hell. If we are still holding a demon’s hand when we die: he will lead us down into Hell. Why would that be so difficult to understand. That’s justice, we have free will to choose and we chose. St Ignatius wants us to be in no doubt about the horrors of Hell according...

Deliberately this episode is only a few minutes long as you listen you will understand why as you witness the profound vulnerability of an aging Peter when he recalls one of the most painful moments of his walk with Jesus—when he rebuked his Master for predicting His death, only to be sharply corrected in return. This deeply moving narrative brings us behind the scenes of Gospel writing, as Matthew captures Peter's tearful recollections of his well-intentioned but misguided attempt to protect...

For those of you who know about Fatima:- I had the opportunity to meet Fr. Gruner on the Hill of Slane when he visited Ireland and I asked him: "Father when will the chastisement begin, 2025 or 2029 when will the "100 years be up?"

The site later became an important monaster...
