Heaven is more than just a physical place that is a fantasy; it is beyond earthly concepts like space and time. Heaven is a place where our hearts beat with the heartbeat of God; it is a state of being where only God matters, and we are lost in the unconditional love of God.
Ever wondered if your beloved pets will join you in the afterlife? Fr. Rob Galea tackles this heartwarming and complex question in an episode that’s sure to tug at your heartstrings. As a Catholic, he dives into the intricacies of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, explaining that Heaven is more than just a physical place—it's a state of being where we are enveloped in God's unconditional love. Fr.
Rob shares his thoughts on whether animals play a role in this divine love and if they help us understand it better. While St. Thomas Aquinas believed animals don't go to Heaven, Fr. Rob isn’t so sure and offers a fresh perspective on this theological debate. He believes our vocation is to see God’s love in all His creations, including our pets.
This episode isn't just about theology; it’s about the love we share with our pets and how they enrich our lives. Fr. Rob also shares a touching personal story about experiencing a glimpse of Heaven during prayer, making the episode both thought-provoking and deeply moving. If you’ve ever pondered the fate of your furry friends in the afterlife, this episode is a must-listen.
It blends deep theological insights with everyday love and care for our pets, offering a comforting and enlightening take on a question many of us have asked.
