All Souls' Day - Commemoration of the Faithful DepartedNovember 2, 2014 In 1999, St. John Paul II described the Church's understanding of the Last things: Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. Below are excepts from this reflections. "Heaven is Fullness of Communion with God Heaven "is neither an abstraction not a physical place in the clouds, but a living, personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. It is our meeting with the Father which takes place in the risen Christ through the communion of the Holy Spirit," St. John Paul II said. When the form of this world has passed away, those who have welcomed God into their lives and have sincerely opened themselves to his love, at least at the moment of death, will enjoy that fullness of communion with God which is the goal of human life. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, "this perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed is called "heaven'. Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfilment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness" (n.1024). Hell is the State of Those who Reject God St. John Paul II said that care should be taken to interpret correctly the images of hell in Sacred Scripture, and explained that "hell is the ultimate consequence of sin itself... Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy". God is the infinitely good and merciful Father. But man, called to respond to him freely, can unfortunately choose to reject his love and forgiveness once and for all, thus separating himself for ever from joyful communion with him. It is precisely this tragic situation that Christian doctrine explains when it speaks of eternal damnation or hell. It is not a punishment imposed externally by God but a development of premises already set by people in this life. The very dimension of unhappiness which this obscure condition brings can in a certain way be sensed in the light of some of the terrible experiences we have suffered which, as is commonly said, make life "hell". In a theological sense however, hell is something else: it is the ultimate consequence of sin itself, which turns against the person who committed it. It is the state of those who definitively reject the Father's mercy, even at the last moment of their life.Purgatory Is Necessary Purification Before we enter into full communion with God, every trace of sin within us must be eliminated and every imperfection in our soul must be corrected. St. John Paul II explained that physical integrity is necessary to enter into perfect communion with God therefore "the term purgatory does not indicate a place, but a condition of existence", where Christ "removes ... the remnants of imperfection". As we have seen in the previous two catecheses, on the basis of the definitive option for or against God, the human being finds he faces one of these alternatives:  either to live with the Lord in eternal beatitude, or to remain far from his presence. For those who find themselves in a condition of being open to God, but still imperfectly, the journey towards full beatitude requires a purification, which the faith of the Church illustrates in the doctrine of "Purgatory" (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1030-1032). " To read more about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory go to http://www.ewtn.com/library/papaldoc/jp2heavn.htm

RINCÓN HISPANORINCÓN HISPANOHermanos de Holy Trinity :

Son claras y duras son las palabras de Nuestro Señor en este pasaje. Su estilo transparente puede hacernos sentir algo "incómodos" y es que, no habrá en la historia de la humanidad hombre tan coherente como lo fue Jesús, el único. Que nos puede advertir acerca de la hipocresía con justa razón. ¡Cuántas veces nos muestra a lo largo de los Evangelios su descontento con los hipócritas! ¡Cuántas veces nos exhorta a no ser como ellos! Y es que el Señor sabe muy bien cuánto daño hace la hipocresía en nuestro trabajo con los demás, y cuántas almas permanecen cerradas al amor de Dios porque no ven en nuestro testimonio de cristianos una coherencia entre lo que decimos y predicamos y lo que en realidad ponemos en práctica.

"Haced y cumplid lo que os digan, pero no hagáis lo que hacen..." ¡Qué actual es esta recomendación que nos da el Señor! ¡Cuánto nos cuesta a los soberbios aceptar estas palabras! ¿Por qué desoímos tantas veces lo que el Señor nos pide a través de su Palabra? ¿No será para justificarnos en la incoherencia de los demás? "No juzguéis y no seréis juzgados" dice el Señor. Mejor sería que pusiéramos en práctica todo lo que el Señor nos va pidiendo sin esperar nada de los demás, sin olvidar que el instrumento es pequeño.

Así pues, levantemos la mirada del horizonte y miremos en vertical, porque es de Dios y para Dios todo en nuestra vida. No justifiquemos nuestros errores en los errores de los demás, pues nuestro único modelo debe ser Jesús, en Él debemos fijar todas nuestras metas. Ante Él la verdad y la autenticidad permanecen, todo lo demás es desechado. Continúa el pasaje: “uno sólo es vuestro Padre, el del cielo." Dice la canción: "¡Dios es mi Padre, qué feliz soy!"

Realmente es así de sencillo y de maravilloso, pero, ¿cuándo vamos a creer del todo estas palabras? ¿cuándo vamos a interiorizarlas y a asumir la grandeza de este hecho? Porque si Dios es mi Padre, me conoce totalmente, me cuida, se preocupa por mí, le interesa lo que a mí me interesa, vela por mi vida, por mi bien, me da lo que necesito... Con Jesús descubrimos que Dios no es un Padre autoritario ni justiciero, sino amoroso y misericordioso que me ha amado y me ha creado y, así, mi vida cobra un sentido, mi vida no es un absurdo. Podemos llegar aún más lejos: si Dios es mi Padre, entonces Él tiene que encontrar en mí signos de que yo soy su hijo, pues los padres y los hijos se parecen. Acerquémonos a nuestro señor Jesucristo que es nuestro padre para que viviendo siempre seca de el podamos parecernos a el y ser como el “sed santos como mi padre es santo” nos dice nuestro señor.
