What Happens After We Die? - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon?

After we die, our souls go on a kind of journey to meet God, like going from one room to another in a big house.

Bishop Barron talks about this journey in his Sunday Sermon, and it's like when you finish your favorite toy and put it away. You might not see it right away, but it’s still there, waiting for you.

Like a Big Party

Imagine that after we die, our soul goes to heaven, which is like the best party ever, with music, food, and all your friends who have already gone on ahead.

If we’ve been good in life, like sharing toys or helping others, we get to join the party right away. But if we’ve been a little naughty, it might be like being sent to time-out, but not for long! Eventually, we’ll still join the party too.

The Body Goes to Sleep

Our body stays behind, like when you go to sleep after playing all day. It’s resting and waiting for the day when we’ll come back, maybe in a new form, or even right away!

So, dying is like leaving one room to go to another, where everything is better, brighter, and full of love. After we die, our souls go on a kind of journey to meet God, like going from one room to another in a big house.
