Father Kevin Dillon and I enjoyed it a great deal and helpfully honed our skills. On the last night we went to Phillips Restaurant in the Inner Harbor—I love their Cream of Crab Soup. As we were sitting at the table waiting to order, two young wait- ers came up to us and had an important question. They said that they had heard that Pope Francis had done away with belief in hell. They were wondering whether or not that was the case. Two things immediately caught my interest. For one thing I was quite surprised that two young guys in their twenties had any interest or worries about hell. For another I was happy to see that these two who were Protestants really cared about what the Pope said or did. After all, Protestants do not accept the authority of the Pope in matters of faith and morals. But these two, whatever their theology or belief, were more than a little interested in what the Holy Father had to say. As you can well imagine, I explained to them that neither the Pope nor anyone else could do away with hell because it is clearly and unequivocally taught by Jesus Christ and appears in the New Testament rather often. In Matthew 25 Jesus speaks of the condemnation of the wicked in terrifying terms: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." (Mt. 25:41) These people deserved hell because they had a serious lack of charity in their lives. They neglected the poor, sick and hungry—among others. They ignored the precept of the Lord Jesus to love their neighbor. What a tragedy! Even the great St. Paul was worried about getting to heaven. He wrote to the Co- rinthians that he disciplined his body "lest having preached to others I myself be- come a castaway." (1 Cor 9:27) Few people have done more for Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church than St. Paul and yet he was still concerned about his salva- tion. I might venture that he was perhaps a little overly worried, but the point is he understood that there is the possibility of eternal punishment in the life to come. One of the most noted preachers of our times, Billy Graham, a non-Catholic preached to millions upon millions and was very clear about the existence of hell. He had no doubts and spoke the truth clearly and for that he is to be commended. Surprisingly enough, Evangelicals (who disagree with Catholics on many points) are one with us in accepting the truth of hell taught by Jesus and proclaimed by His Church. They don't believe in the Seven Sacraments and the Dogmas of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, but they are perfectly clear on hell. Believe it or not, I do not spend a lot of time thinking about hell. I am a great believer in the Infinite Ocean of Mercy which is the Heart of Jesus Christ. I encourage you to do the same and have unlimited confidence and trust in Our Lord. The secret is to love Him with your whole being and treat others the way you would treat Him. If you do that, you don't have to worry too much about the other place. I give those two waiters at Phillips in Baltimore credit. They were concerned about eternal salvation. Would that a lot of others had the same interest and courage to ask a priest about hell. Oh yes! The Cream of Crab Soup there was beyond belief. I had two bowls. In Jesus and Mary, Monsignor James M.

It consists of nine parts. The Preparation of the Gifts, the Prayer over the Offerings, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Communion Rite, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sign of Peace, the Fraction of the Bread, Communion, and the Prayer after Communion.
