What are Particular Judgment and Last Judgment? Students' answers can begin with definitions from the text. Particular Judgment is the judgment that an individual receives at the time of his or her death. Each person learns whether they will have the reward of Heaven or eternal separation from God in Hell. They will learn if they will be in Purgatory for the purification needed to be with the all-holy and perfect God. Each person is judged in the Particular Judgment on the basis of his or her own faith and works. The Last Judgment will occur at the end of time when Jesus comes again. Answers should explain that this judgment will take place when Jesus judges all the living and the dead. 22. What is Purgatory? Answers may vary.

  • 2-22- the Four Last Things
    St. Mark Seeker’s Study Guide February 22, 2017: The Four Last Things – Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell The Four Last Things, death, judgment, heaven and hell, are realities of human life. Although our end in this world is not the most attractive topic of conversation, Christians should understand that death is a passage to new life. The Communion of the Saints is the unity of baptized Christians with all who have gone before us in the oneness of God. As Christians, we don’t just prepare for death, but we live that new life today in the sanctifying grace of our God. As we consider the Four Last things, we should do so in the context of faith. Death The Christian Life and Death: The dying should be given attention and care to help them live their last moments in dignity and peace. Assisted suicide or euthanasia are not a morally responsible use of life. The dying should be accompanied and supported. No one ought to feel that they are a burden to others. Part of the challenge of the spiritual life is to both learn to love and to be loved. Why is it harder to be loved? Prayer for the Dying: The dying will be helped by the prayer of their relatives, who must see to it that the sick receive at the proper time the Sacraments that prepare them to meet the living God” (CCC, no. 2299). Death: The final article of the Creed proclaims our belief in everlasting life. At the Catholic Rite of Commendation of the Dying, sometimes prayed at the Anointing of the Sick, we sometimes hear this prayer: “Go forth, Christian soul, from this world...

  • RCIA the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell
    FUNERAL LESSON – RCIA The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell Meaning of Christian Death • Because of Christ, Christian death has a positive meaning; if we have died with him, we will also live with him. o What is essentially new about Christian death is this: through Baptism, the Christian has already “died with Christ” sacramentally, in order to live a new life; and if we die in Christ’s grace, physical death completes this “dying with Christ: and so completes our incorporation into him in his redeeming act. (CCC1010) • In death, God calls man to himself. Therefore the Christian can experience a desire for death like St. Paul’s; “My desire is to depart and be with Christ.” He can transform his own death into an act of obedience and love towards the Father, after the example of Christ. (CCC1011) • Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended. When the body of our early dwelling lies in death we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven. (CCC1012) • Living a Christ like life and taking advantage of Confession while we are alive makes the inevitability of death not as frightening as it could be. Judgment • The Particular Judgment: The eternal retribution received by each soul at the moment of death, in accordance with that person’s faith and works. • The Last Judgment: God’s triumph over the revolt of evil, after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world. Preceded by the resurrection of the dead, it will coincide with the second coming of Christ in glory at the end of time, disclose good and evil and reveal the meaning of salvation history and the providence of God by which justice has triumphed over evil.

  • Lesson 7A FINAL (GENERAL Or LAST) JUDGMENT
    Lesson 7A FINAL (GENERAL or LAST) JUDGMENT Beloved Father of Mercy and Justice, We Your children, offer our lives as a pure and holy sacrifice, uniting our lives and our death to the life and death of Your Son and our Savior. At the Final Judgment we will stand united with the Body of Christ, body and soul, to receive Your Son's judgment. We will face this last and definitive judgment unafraid as the Books of Works are opened to reveal the imperishable deeds of love and mercy accumulated by the Church. This is the treasure stored up for eternity which Your children offer in the name of Christ our Savior and Redeemer. Send Your Holy Spirit, Lord, to lead us in this lesson of our study on the Eight Last Things. We pray in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. + + + While I was watching thrones were set in place and one most venerable took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames; its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was in session and the books lay open. Daniel 7:9-10 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; and, because he is the Son of man, has granted him power to give judgment.

  • Death and the Particular Judgment
    The Catholic Faith Eschatology Death and the Particular Judgment Death Death is the separation of body and soul. The body will die and decompose. The soul has eternal life. Death is a consequence of original sin. Death is the gateway to eternal life with God. We do not know the time of our death. Preparing for Death We should prepare ourselves for death. The best preparation is to live our lives according to God’s will, developing ourselves spiritually, morally, and sacramentally. Mary can pray for us at the hour of our death. We should receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick when we are seriously ill or dying. Particular Judgment At the moment of death, we will receive particular judgment. We will be judged on what we thought, said, did, and failed to do. Hell is the just reward of those who have died in the state of mortal sin, rejecting God. Purgatory is a transitional state of purification leading to heaven. Heaven is the eternal reward of those who have died and are prepared to see God face to face. Beatific Vision Heaven is the end for which we were made. We should long for heaven and live in hope of this reward. We should pray for the grace of a happy death. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) St. John Bosco Catholic Church 1 The Catholic Faith Eschatology Catechism Questions What is the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick? The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to Christians who are gravely ill for their spiritual and bodily strengthening (CCC 1499).

  • The 4 Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven & Hell
    THE 4 LAST THINGS: DEATH, JUDGMENT, HEAVEN & HELL Jesus Christ spoke about the certainties of Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell more than just about any- one else (before or since His time walking the Earth). To take it a step further, using the infallible Holy Scriptures (http://cmvic.net/new-american-bible) as a benchmark, Jesus spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven. Present day, many Church leaders have expressed a need for teachings on Hell to be exhorted more often in homilies, Religious Education classes and church bulletins, for we cannot teach half of the mes- sage, yet still expect our flock or those desiring to join our Faith to feel spiritually nourished with The Truth (John 14:6) when a pivotal piece of the spiritual meal- the Fresh Manna of Jesus- is missing. A few Scriptural references regarding our Day of Judgment- which decides whether we spend eternity with Christ or in Hell- includes, but is not limited to (listed canonically): The Parable of the Weeds Among the Wheat (Matthew 13:24-30) The Parable of the Net (Matthew 13:44-50) The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21-25) The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) The Judgment of the Nations (Matthew 25:31-46) The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) Disregarding the real presence of Hell, in part or completely, discounts the entire purpose of Christ's Resurrection and, therefore, our Hope. For, if there is no Hell, that translates into there being no En- emy.

  • The Last Things Because, by Definition, Purgatory Is Temporary
    The Four Last Things Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell • ‘Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.’ - Dante’s Inferno • ‘Life is passing. Eternity draws closer; soon we will live the very life of God.’ - St. Therese of Lisieux Why are they called the “last things?” • Because they are definitive • Purgatory is not included in the traditional list of the last things because, by definition, purgatory is temporary. • All those in purgatory are destined for the eternal bliss of heaven • In the end, there will be no one in purgatory Death • Death is not natural; i.e., it was not part of God’s original creation. Death came as punishment for sin. • St. Paul reaffirms this in the New Testament, where he says “sin came into the world through one man (Adam) and death through sin” (Rom. 5:12) and a little later says, “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). • In the case of those justified by grace in Jesus Christ, death loses its penal character and becomes a mere consequence of sin and the gateway to eternal life in heaven. • Death consists of the separation of the soul from the body Death • It is wise to remember the fact of our own mortality often… • “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart.” (Ps 90:12) • “What mortal can live and not see death? Who can escape the power of the grave?” (Ps 89:49) • Monastic traditions – “Hodie mihi, cras tibi” • Not macabre – rather a reminder that our time on earth is limited and that what we do now matters for eternity.

  • Our Particular Judgment and the Last Judgment. in Our Particular
    The Last Judgment 1 There are two judgments: Our Particular Judgment and the Last Judgment. In our Particular Judgment at the moment of death, our life will be measured against the life of Christ. St. John of the Cross says, “At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.” At that point we shall receive “either immediate entrance into the blessedness of heaven, or through the purification of Purgatory, or immediate and everlasting damnation.” Cf. CCC 1022; 1051 Our Particular Judgment is about the story of our life; it is the story of what we have chosen: either love of God and neighbor over love of self – which results in purgatory or heaven; or love of self over the love of God and neighbor – which results in hell. See, the soul goes where it wants to go. If it wanted God more than anything, then it goes to God; if it wanted itself more than anything, more than God; then it gets what it wanted, only itself, and nothing more – that is Hell. God gives us what want. If the Particular Judgment reveals the truth of our individual life; then the Last Judgment reveals the whole truth about All of History, it’s where God reveals how His Providence guided all the stories of every person who ever lived to work together for the greatest good. You and I will be present at the Last Judgment – which “will reveal even to its furthest consequences the good each person has done or failed to do during his earthly life.” Ccc 1039 How do you want your story to be told at that moment? 2 We firmly believe that God is master of the world and of its history.

  • Newman and Last Things, Juan Vélez, “The Downside Review”, CXVIIII, No
    Newman and Last Things, Juan Vélez, “The Downside Review”, CXVIIII, no. 414, (2001), 51-68. Newman and Last Things The encyclical letter Faith and Reason renders John H. Newman and other 19th and 20th century theologians a just recognition for their analysis of the interdependence of faith and reason 1. Newman’s University Sermons were his initial exposition on the subject. The essay On the scope of University Education is a continuation of his study which he completed in The Grammar of Assent. In these works, the Oxford don and later Catholic priest explained the intrinsic relationship between faith and reason. He pointed out the limits of reason, emphasized the reasonableness of faith, and described the complex human assent to revealed truths. Through a renewed understanding of moral consciousness he established the epistemological foundations for a new consideration of faith2. In this article we present an overview of Newman's teaching on eschatology that so far has been the object of few monographic studies3. His approach to revelation and dogma in eschatology could rightly be summarized by St. Anselm’s classical expression fides quarens intellectum. For him, dogmas are windows that peer into the mysteries of faith; they always allow for deeper understanding. Newman defended the dogmas on life after death confessed by the creeds, but sought a richer understanding of these truths, especially that of purification after death. In his Parochial and Plain Sermons and in The Dream of Gerontius he addressed these truths, albeit from a pastoral perspective, and 1 Encyclical Letter Fides et Ratio, Editrice Vaticana, Vatican, 1998, n.
