Saturday, November 23, 2024: (Bl. Miguel Pro)
Jesus said: “My people, both readings speak about how you will be raised up from the dead on the last day. Because of Adam’s original sin, you are in a mortal body that will die one day, but your soul will live on forever. At death your body is separated from your soul, and you will be judged to heaven, purgatory, or hell. My faithful will need purification in purgatory to make reparation due for your sins. I resurrected on the third day into My glorified Body, as I told the people I am the Resurrection and the Life. On the last day My faithful will also be resurrected with a glorified body joining your soul. You will live forever with Me in heaven because you were faithful to Me on earth. Be patient and rejoice because you will be with Me one day in heaven.”

(Funeral of Reeta Benoy)
At Our Lady Queen of Peace Church after Holy Communion, I could sense Reeta’s presence by the casket. Reeta said: “I am happy to see all of my relatives and friends, and I thank them for being present at my funeral. I love all of you so much as I see Jesus in all of you. I am in heaven with my Savior, Jesus with this Mass. Heaven is so beautiful and I do not have words to describe it because it is a feeling of joy and peace with all of the angels and saints. To be with Jesus forever is more than I could have imagined. His love consumes you, and you become a part of Him.”
