Do the Dead Know They're Dead What the Bible Really says will shock you - Fr Benedict Groeschel

Do the dead know that they are dead? What happens to the soul the moment we die? And what does the Bible actually reveal about consciousness, judgment, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory? In this powerful Catholic reflection, Fr. Benedict Groeschel explores one of life’s deepest mysteries: what happens after death? Drawing from Scripture and Catholic teaching, this message examines what Christians can know about the soul after death—and what remains a mystery known only to God. Rather than encouraging fear, the Christian teaching on death points us toward faith, repentance, prayer, hope, and preparation for eternal life. Could the dead be aware of the living? What happens during the particular judgment? What does Scripture teach about the state of the soul? And how should these truths change the way we live today? Watch this reflection and discover a deeper perspective on death, eternity, and the hope found in God.
