How does the particular judgement take place

[oliver109]

imagine this, you are driving a car, a lorry overturns and you end up dying instantly, what do you see after? do you see God’s face? or is it just a voice pronouncing a sentence? are you able to answer to God or is it just God proclaiming a sentence and you saint or sinner just there listening to the sentence. Will you know your final destination in the first seconds of the judgement or will it take a few minutes or even hours or days before you know?

We don’t know since, without a body, it will only be the intelligence and will of the soul remaining.

St Faustina

Once I was summoned to the judgment [seat] of God. I stood alone before the Lord.
Jesus appeared such as we know Him during His Passion. After a moment, His wounds
disappeared except for five, those in His hands, His feet and His side. Suddenly I saw
the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is
displeasing to God. I did not know that even the smallest transgressions will have to be
accounted for.

 

[JanR]

St Faustina

I did not know that even the smallest transgressions will have to be

accounted for.

That’s scary! Perhaps we all need to be more thoughtful.
