A Sermon To Remember

After stating that Christ had remained silent as to the non-penitent criminal who remained blind to God Whose Son's life God offered for the salvation of souls, but not all souls, in the last post entitled The Love Of God, this blogger came across today on You Tube, coincidentally or perhaps not so coincidentally, a sermon that underscores his point in a way that terrifies.  There are several versions of it on You Tube.  One that is relatively short is entitled The Fewness of the Saved. [1]  The sermon is based on the one given by Saint Leonard of Port Maurice entitled The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved [2] (it is not quoted here because it is quite long).


[1] The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykkFVxxGJaE (21:39 minutes).  Here are two more:
one entitled The Fewness of the Saved - The Majority of Mankind are Damned (46:08 minutes) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMUPBFeI5Hc&t=48s
and another entitled Saint Leonard of Port Maurice -The Little Number of those Saved at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0t-rc2eF6E  (52:45 minutes).  Each one is a little different.  This blogger believes that this prayer of Fátima helps: "O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen." See http://www.fatimacentennial.com/fatima-prayers/  In Latin: "Domine Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori [inferni], perduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent."
