View descriptionShare

Fr. Joseph Johnson joins Patrick to discuss Preparing for Death

  • Who was St. Maximilian Kolbe?
  • (6:09) What happens when we die?
  • (19:17) Jolene - My husband died before I could get the priest to anoint him. Did he still receive the last rites?

(24:07) Break 1

  • What does it mean to have a happy death?
  • (31:22) Robert - My mother told me a story about when her dad was passing away, he saw demons climbing outside the window and had a hard time dying. My mom and uncles witnessed that and said he said odd things when dying.
  • Email - Can you go to heaven if you know Jesus but still reject him?

(38:24) Break 2

  • What is the importance of a funeral Mass?
  • (45:14) Nicole - I need to add this in my will. My children and siblings are not participating in having Masses said for loved ones. I wonder if my children will have Masses said for me and I need to put this in my will before I pass away. If it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be Mass intentions for those loved ones. Visit aunt and uncle often and they're not prepared spiritually. I fear they're missing that. What should I say to them to understand the importance?
