1) The document discusses indulgences and the Church's spiritual treasury. It explains that through indulgences, the Church applies the infinite satisfaction of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary and saints to forgive some of the temporal punishment due to sins. (2) To gain a plenary indulgence, one must be free from attachment to sin, perform the prescribed works like confession and prayer, and have the proper intention. (3) Indulgences can also be applied to souls in purgatory.

This is a study of Jesus as the source of showers of blessing. This was God's promise to Israel and it was fulfilled in Jesus, and still will be in the future.

Is hell real? Does it really exist? How do we know that it is real?
The unfortunate reality is that many people nowadays, including priests and clergy, no longer believe in hell. Many think of hell as just foolish, childish stories invented in the medieval past. Some believe in hell, but mistakenly think that everyone goes to heaven, and that hell is empty. Others believe that our souls aren’t eternal, and that after we die, our souls merely disappear from existence.
In this 1 hour webinar, we will talk about the reality of hell and the truth of the eternal nature of our souls. Yes, hell is very much real! In this webinar, we will cover the following:
- Amazing prophecies that foretell of a time when the highest leadership in the Catholic Church will deny the existence of hell
- A summary of various biblical passages that explicitly mention and talk about hell
- Detailed descriptions of the pains of hell by various saints throughout history who were given the incredible grace of experiencing hell for a moment
- Jesus’ passionate love and mercy for all souls, and the various powerful means he has given everyone to avoid hell and to help others avoid it.
The New Testament shows us repeatedly that those who were helped by Jesus would tell others about Jesus. This is a pattern that reminds us that this is our purpose also.

Lesson 6 from the New Testament:
https://www.lds.org/manual/new-testament-gospel-doctrine-teachers-manual/lesson-6-they-straightway-left-their-nets?lang=eng
A verse by verse commentary on Acts chapter 11 dealing with the Apostle Peter explaining his actions, and the ministry of Barnabas, and the establishing of the church at Antioch.
FOREWORD
IT was on an April day, a.d. 33, not
long after the Day of Pentecost,
that these things happened. They
covered a brief period of not more than
fifteen hours — from the time of the eve-
ning sacrifice, 3 p.m., until candlelight
the next day. But what a memorable
fifteen hours they were; and what issues
have flowed out of that day!

38. The elders of the
people, chief priests
and scribes,
arose and brought
Jesus before Pilate.
They brought
charges against him,
saying,
39. “We found this man
misleading our people;
He opposes the payment of
taxes to Caesar
and maintains
that he is the Christ, a king.”
40. Pilate asked him, Pilate then
“Are you the king of addressed the

He said to him in the crowds,
reply, “You say so.” “I find this man not
guilty.”
But they were
adamant and said,
41. “He is inciting the people
with his teaching throughout
all Judea, from Galilee where
he began even to here.”
42. On hearing this Pilate
asked if the man was
a Galilean;
and upon learning
that he was under
Herod’s jurisdiction,
he sent him to Herod
who was in
Jerusalem at that
time.
43. Herod was very and had been

52. The verdict of Pilate
was that their

granted. So he

53. murder, for whom
they asked, and
he handed Jesus
over to them to
deal with as they
wished.
54. As they led him
away
they took hold of
a certain Simon,
a Cyrenian, who
was coming in
from the country;
55. and after laying
the cross on him,
they made him

Jesus.
A large crowd of
people followed
Jesus,
57. “Daughters of
Jerusalem, do not
weep for me; weep
instead for yourselves
and for your children
for indeed, the days
are coming when
people will say,
59. At that time people
will say to the
mountains,
‘Fall upon us!’
and to the hills,
‘Cover us!’
60. for if these things are
done when the wood
is green what will
happen when it is
dry?”
Now two others, both
criminals, were led
away with him to be
executed.
61. When they came to
the place called the
Skull, they crucified
him and the
criminals there, one
on his right, the
other on his left.
Then Jesus said,
63. The people stood
by and watched;
the rulers,
meanwhile,
sneered at him
and said,
64. “He saved others, let him save
himself if he is the chosen one,
the Christ of God.”
Even the soldiers jeered at him.
As they approached to offer him wine they
called out,
65. “If you are King of the Jews,
save yourself.”
Above him there was an inscription that
read, “This is the King of the Jews.”
66. Now one of the criminals hanging there
reviled Jesus, saying,
“Are you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us.”
67. The other, however, rebuking him, said
in reply,
“Have you no fear of God,
for you are subject to the
same condemnation?
68. And indeed, we have been
condemned justly, for the
sentence we received
corresponds to our crimes,
but this man has done
nothing criminal.”
70. It was now about
noon and darkness
came over the
whole land until
three in the
afternoon because
of an eclipse of the
sun.
71. Then the veil of
the temple was
torn down the
middle.
Jesus cried out
in a loud voice,
72. “Father, into your
hands I commend my
spirit”; and when he
had said this he
breathed his last.
Here all kneel &
pause for a short
time.
