Introduction: Mercy Now, Judgment Soon

 

“It is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment.” – Hebrews 9:27

 

We are now in the final age of mercy. Jesus told St. Faustina: “Before I come as the Just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy.” (Diary, 1146).

 

The Last Judgment is not a myth or metaphor. It is the inescapable moment when Christ will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. Every secret will be revealed. Every soul will be separated into eternal glory or eternal loss.

 

This document is a final warning: a loving, urgent invitation to repent, convert, and prepare.

I. What Is the Last Judgment?

 

The Last Judgment (or General Judgment) will occur at the end of time, when Christ returns. It is distinct from the Particular Judgment (which happens at each person’s death).

 

Scripture Testimony:

– Matthew 25:31–46 – The sheep and the goats.

– Revelation 20:11–15 – The Book of Life and the lake of fire.

– 2 Corinthians 5:10 – “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.”

 

Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC):

“The Last Judgment will reveal even to its furthest consequences the good each person has done or failed to do.” – CCC 1039

II. The Church Fathers and Saints on the Final Judgment

 

St. Augustine:

“The same Judge will come who was judged. He who stood before Pilate will sit as King over all creation.”

 

St. Thomas Aquinas:

“The Last Judgment is necessary to make public and universal the justice of God, for all hidden things will be brought to light.”

 

St. John Chrysostom:

“Nothing will be concealed… then we shall know what we truly are.”

 

St. Faustina (Diary 83):

“I am the King of Mercy, but also the Just Judge.”

III. The Dual Reality: Mercy and Justice

 

Now is the time of Mercy.

– Confession is the tribunal of mercy.

– The Eucharist strengthens the soul to persevere.

– Prayer and reparation delay divine wrath.

 

Then will come the time of Justice.

– Every soul will see how it accepted or rejected grace.

– Christ will render judgment not only for sins committed, but for graces refused.

 

“Justice without mercy would be unbearable; mercy without justice would be meaningless.” – Anonymous Catholic theologian

IV. The Final Separation

 

As Jesus said:

“Come, blessed of My Father… Depart from Me, you accursed.” – Matthew 25

 

– The righteous will enter into everlasting joy.

– The damned will descend into eternal loss, body and soul, united in pain.

 

All masks will fall. All truth will be exposed.

V. Prayers of the Saints Before Judgment

 

St. Teresa of Avila:

“Let nothing disturb you… God alone suffices.”

 

St. Catherine of Siena:

“Let your holy fear of the Judgment lead you to run into the arms of Divine Mercy.”

 

St. Alphonsus Liguori:

“He who dies in mortal sin will be judged and cast away forever. But he who clings to Mary has hope.”

VI. How to Prepare

 

1. Daily examination of conscience.

2. Frequent Confession and Communion.

3. Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the dying.

4. Acts of mercy—spiritual and corporal.

5. Living each day as if it were your last.

VII. The Urgent Mission of the Faithful

 

“The greatest act of mercy is to warn others of judgment and lead them to Christ.”

 

Every Catholic has the duty to:

– Evangelize souls who are unprepared.

– Intercede daily for the dying and unrepentant.

– Be faithful to Christ’s Church no matter the cost.

Final Invocation

 

O Jesus, our Judge and Redeemer, have mercy on us.

Let us not fear Your Judgment, but trust in Your wounds.

Mary, Refuge of Sinners, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

 

Amen.
