"God wants that everyone be saved; no one is predestined to go to hell; Jesus died for everyone; and everyone is given sufficient grace for salvation."

                    -Gabriele Amorth

For Reflection:

How reassuring are these words! God desires my salvation, has sent His Son so it can be acquired, and is giving me the graces I need to attain it! What grace for salvation is He offering me today?

(Hint: What prompting of the Holy Spirit am I experiencing - the need for confession, a way to help a friend or loved one, an act of charity or almsgiving, etc.)

...we shall recall in turn: first, what the premonitory signs and indications of the end of time are to be: secondly, what will be the marks and nature of the persecution by this man of sin, announced by the apostle Paul as the precursor of the final coming of the Son of God; thirdly, what will be the circumstances of the resurrection and judgment; finally, what will be the place of immortal life and the state of the world after the resurrection.
