To: sitetest; ebb tide
Yesterday was treatment day, and that pretty much wipes out the day.

Praying for you, sitetest.

I see that we are commended to pray for ALL souls. I take that as meaning that it is possible that each soul could be saved.

Here is a clear explanation by Fr. Gregory Hesse. (Fr. Hesse was appointed theologian by the Holy Father, John Paul II. He has his Doctorate from the Pontifical University in Rome in theology and canon law. Fr. Hesse spent 15 years in Rome and was the secretary for Cardinal Stickler for 2 years.):

Act and Potency: (entire philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas is based on this distinction).

"Any thing that is can be in two ways, Actually or Potentially. The new philosophy / theology does not use these distinctions. When John Paul II says “all people are saved” is he correct? If he means potentially, then he is correct. If he means actually then he is in error. Our Lord says many go to the wide and broad way to hell. The Pope does not distinguish between act and potency."

I very much appreciate your prayers.

I also appreciate the link, but do not have the energy to read such things at this time. I spend only a little while per day at my computer with social media. It’s good for me, but it wears me out.

Thanks again for your kindness.
