Normal With the recent exhibition of the film" The Rite "and the joke that circulated around the country," Why the Rite? "A known communicator TV, with undoubted blunder by not fluent in English, asked this question to its lead actor, a controversy erupted over whether any actually exists Hell. Many, after seeing it, made them reconsider and conclude that "the devil you do not play" or less with eternal damnation as a result of witnessing in the film (and some others) the diabolic possession and exorcisms.
Who is Satan? A fallen angel who disobeyed God seriously and, together with other demons, were cast into Hell (See the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 391 to 394).
How does the earth and man? It is so much unhappiness that the Devil would also eternal damnation of humans and makes every effort to present often temptations, sowing hatred, discord, suggesting evil, in other words, to push him to sin and also the man or woman, unless they repent before Dios y mediante el Sacramento de la Confesión de sus yerros, tengan como fin último el Infierno.
¿En qué consiste exactamente este tenebroso lugar? En primer lugar, en la no posesión de la felicidad y el amor de Dios para siempre. Eso provoca en el alma un indescriptible y desgarrador dolor. En segundo plano, en padecer intensos sufrimientos físicos para purgar y pagar los pecados cometidos.
Recomiendo ampliamente la lectura de “La Divina Comedia” de Dante, donde Infierno, Purgatorio y Cielo, vienen explicados con lujo de detalles y este escritor italiano se documentó bastante bien con reconocidos teólogos to write this classic of world literature.
Perhaps some readers, I write this, I sound like a fable or fairy grandmothers afraid to frighten children "and that in the XXI century this issue and no one will believe it.
I can attest that I have known priests as exorcists reported cases of demonic possession with all realism and detail, and after much prayer and penance, managed to pull of a soul to the devil, there is no doubt Satan really exists and acts in our society.
But there is a important detail: the Devil does not like "you see the face." What do I mean? In that as a very intelligent (his name is Lucifer and excelled in Heaven for his gifts and supernatural virtues, even before being dragged into the abyss) prefers to pass unnoticed, that no one noticed him, never acts in a blatant and strives to grow among men the false idea that does not exist or is simply a myth or a legend of the past.
I just finished reading the "Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska (Editorial Marian Press, 2007) was many appearances of Jesus Christ, Santa Mary but also the Lord allowed him to know how to eternal damnation. On pages 304 and 305 of his written testimony: "Today I was in the depths of hell, led by an angel. It is a place of great torment, which frighteningly large your extension! The kinds of tortures I saw: the first torture that constitutes hell is the loss of God. " (...) And then neatly described what he saw, he concludes: "Let the sinner know that he will be tormented for all eternity. I write it at God's command that no soul excuse saying that Hell does not exist or that no one was there or knows how. "
Many other saints have had these supernatural experiences. Now remember Santa Teresa de Jesus and the Holy Curé of Ars, who made similar accounts in his writings and testimonies.
On our recent Beato, Juan Pablo II, it is said that talking with a friend, a high and holy church, in private meeting asked quite seriously:
"Monseigneur, Do you ever has appeared the Devil?
cleric replied promptly:
"No, but often I'm hearing about so many perversions and evil deeds of many people around the world that he could say that every day I play the presence and activities of Satan in our society, which tends to move away from God or live as if there were.
To which the Blessed John Paul II said:
"But to me it is exactly the same.
A conclusion, dear reader, it is worth taking seriously God: the Ten Commandments, Seven Sacraments, and all its teachings and what the Creed says. And do not forget that faith is not only to hear "as one listens to the rain and not get wet" but to practice and make daily life of our life. In this sense, our good works in the family, at work, in society and in general, with our fellow men, are essential to our salvation.
Heaven What will we wait? Bliss and Joy without end because they possess to God and see what it is, with all its goodness, its truth and beauty. St. Paul says that "No eye has seen, nor ear heard" what the Lord has in store for those who love Him. The human soul has been created to achieve possession of eternal happiness in God, otherwise we will have failed in our lives, no matter our social status, wealth, property, personal qualities ... it will be worth nothing if we do not reach heaven.
