CONTEMPLATION FOR MORAL RECOVERY PROGRAM

PREPARED BY : MOISES TENYOSA

Remember

You have but one soul to save,

One God to love and to serve,

One eternity to expect,

DEATH will come soon,

JUDGMENT will follow

And then

HEAVEN or HELL forever!

DEAR CHRISTIAN:

DEATH

At death, the soul is separated from the

body. It is judged by God and rewarded

with heaven, punished in hell, or sent

to be cleansed in purgatory.

“The dust return to its earth, from whence it came, and the spirit

returns to God, Who gave it.” (Eccles. 12:7)

DEATH

The body begins to corrupt and returns

to the dust from which it came. On the

top picture, the death of the just.

Below, death of a sinner.

DEATH OF THE JUST

DEATH OF THE SINNER

JUDGEMENT

The judgment which will be passed on

each one of us immediately after

death is called the particular

judgment as soon as each soul

leaves the body at death.

JUDGEMENT

JESUS CHRIST is the JUDGE at the particular

judgment. Before Him each soul must stand,

The soul will stand in the awful presence of

God the Son, to give an account of its whole

life: of every thought, word, act and omission.

On the left picture, judgment of the just. On

the right, judgment of the sinner.

JUDGEMENT

SINNERJUST

“It is appointed unto men to die

once, but after this comes the

Judgment” (Heb. 9:27)

HEAVEN

Those who are rewarded in heaven who

die in the state of grace and have been

purified in purgatory. They see God

face to face, and share forever in His

glory and happiness.

HEAVEN

We do not obtain heaven w/o working

for it. He that for God’s sake has

suffered most and given up most will

get the greatest reward in heaven.

“And God will wipe away every tear

from their eyes. And death shall be no

more; neither shall be there mourning, nor crying, nor pain

anymore” (Apoc. 21:4)

HEAVEN

HELL

Those are punished in hell who die in

mortal sin; they are deprived of the

vision of God and suffer dreadful

torments, especially that of fire, for

all eternity. All who die in mortal sin,

even with only a single unrepented

and unforgiven mortal sin, are sent

to hell.

HELL

The condemned in hell will suffer the

pain of loss and the pain of sense. The

wicked in hell know what they rejected

and lost: GOD. This pain will be their

greatest torment of hell. For the human

soul is made for God. The wicked will

also suffer from fire and the torments

inflicted on all the senses, the sight,

hearing, smell, taste, touch.

HELL“Depart from me,

accursed ones, into everlasting

fire” (Matt. 25:41)
