About our drink:

Rough Rider Rye Bourbon Double Cask

Awarded 94 Points in the 2016 Ultimate Spirits Competition earning it a Great Value, this High Rye Bourbon gains its delicate smoothness in our unique Reserve Aging Method. Long Island Spirits has been producing Brandies for the locally acclaimed Long Island wineries since 2008, which was the inspiration for Rough Rider Double Cask Bourbon. The Bourbon is aged New American Oak and then is finished in French Oak Ex-Brandy casks that once held brandies that Long Island Spirits produced. This refined Straight Bourbon is Non-Chill filtered and amazingly well balanced.

In 1898, Teddy Roosevelt, a native Long Islander, organized the United States First Volunteer Calvary, known as the Rough Rider’s. This disparate group of men cherished adventure, independence and excellence. Long Island Spirits is located just miles from where the Rough Rider’s were quarantined and then disbanded following their victory in the Spanish American War in a legendary summer they had in Montauk Point.

Join Gary as he takes a closer look at the Sunday Mass readings for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Why is it so important to recognize that Mary was assumed into Heaven? Tune in and let's discuss!

Questions Covered: 

01:45- I suffer from scrupulosity. I tend to view God as a God who will send us to hell at the tiniest little mistake. How do I view God as a more loving and merciful God? Is it possible to go to hell if we are not sure if we committed a mortal sin or not?

07:30 - In a spiritual sense what is our life on earth compared to the spiritual life in Purgatory, Heaven and Hell? What is our role/purpose in living here first on earth?

13:24 - Can you explain the thought that Purgatory is a place to atone for our sins? This is what I was always taught.

20:34 - Can one pray to a deceased loved one without the knowledge that they are in Heaven?

24:49 - How do we know if we are in purgatory or hell if we are being tormented in both? If I am in purgatory and I think I am in hell and I start cursing God’s name for putting me in hell, is there a chance I can actually be cast into hell at this point

34:37 - Will a soul who has not followed the Christian life still have the opportunity to go to purgatory and Heaven?

42:25 - Does God still love the souls in Hell and the demons?

44:25 - Why do we believe that when we die we go to heaven and are not just asleep until Jesus comes again? Jesus says that Lazarus “is asleep” when he is dead so it seems as though we would all just be sleeping until Christ comes again

50:50 - When you go to Purgatory do you see other people in purgatory with you or those in Heaven, Angels, or even Jesus?

Questions Covered: 

16:00 - If the divine grace Christ merited can be “applied” at any point in time, why did the righteous have to wait in Abraham’s bosom?

19:12 - If it is taught that if you reach a certain level of charity, you can immediately go to heaven, but charity is solely to will the good the other, how does this other motive of getting to heaven not undercut what charity truly is?

25:06 - What is Limbo? Why was it removed? When did the doctrine of “universal salvation” emerge?

28:30 - Do we know what the sensation of purgatory is? Is it physically or spiritually painful? Will we be aware that we are in purgatory?

38:30 - My mom just passed away; we miss her. My dad asked that even though we know that she is happy in heaven, does she feel separation from us in the same way we feel separated from her? So, she wouldn’t be sad, but does she feel any lack like we feel without her?

46:43 - I just started reading “Purgatory is for Real” and I’m not clear on why if our sins are forgotten by God, why do we “dwell” on them in a sense, and why need purgatory at all?

2:32 – I suffer from scrupulosity. I tend to view God as a God who will send us to hell at the tiniest little mistake. How do I view God as a more loving and merciful God? Is it possible to go to hell if we are not sure if we committed a mortal sin or not?

Una fe mediocre no es una fe suficiente para llevarnos a través de los momentos difíciles y transformarlos en milagros.
