18th Century Body of Christ Saving Souls From Purgatory Our Lady of Carmel Medal For Sale

The Bible says, “For God so loved theworld that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shallnot perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the worldto judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He whobelieves in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already,because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:17-18).
