ThoughtsontheFourLastEndsofMan

(Writtenfor"TheRecord,"byRev.FatherWilliam,BenedictineMonk,of NewMarcia.)

No.4.-HELL

I. Eitherheavenorhellwillbethedestinyofmanafterdeath.Theverdict pronouncedbyChristuponmanatthe LastJudgmentleavesnoroomto doubtaboutit."Comeyeblessedof myfather,"istheaentenceofeternal salvationpronouncedonthejust. "Departfrommeyecursedintoeverlastingfire,"istheothersentenceof eternaldeathpronouncedonthebad. Thetwoexpressions,intheabove quotations,"KingdomofGod"and "Everlastingfire,"areunmistakably opposedtooneanother.God'sKingdomispromisedtothegood,whereas everlastingfireisthepunishmentgiventothewicked.ItfolloWs,consequently,thateitherheavenorhellare man'stwolastdestiniesafterdeath.

Itisnotmyintentiontoexclude "Purgatory."Onthecontrary,implicitlyIincludeitalso,althoughI don'tmeantospeakaboutitjust now.Forthesakeofconveniencelet usbeginwithhell,andletitbeasa preservativeagainstmortalsin.

Whatishell?Hellisnotsomucha specialplace,butratherthestateof mortalsin,whichseparatesmanfrom God.Anyonewhoisinmortalsinor diesinmortalsiniscreatingahellI'D' himself,thatis:aseparationfrom GodhisCreator.Itwouldthusappearthathellisthecreationofsin. HenceitiswhatSt.Teresasays:"Let selfwillceasetobe,andtherewillbe nohell."Takingforgrantedthatthe eternalseparationofmanfromGod, hisFatherandCreator,supposesa placeoftorment,hellistheabodeof fallenangelsandofmenwhodiein mortalsin.Thecatechismofthe CouncilofTrentendorsesthisview whenitspeaksofhellas"aloathsome anddarkprison,inwhichthesoulsof thedamned,togetherwiththeunclean spirits,aretorturedineverlastingand inextinguishablefire."HolyScriptureitself,moreover,describeshellas fire.Somethinglikeafurnaceoffire wherestreamsofburningpitchandof brimstoneflowforever.Letushear Isaias:"Andthestreamsthereofshall beturnedintopitch,andtheground thereofintobrimstone,andtheland thereofshallbecomeburningpitch, Nightanddayitshallnotbequenched,thesmokethereofshallgoupfor ever;fromgenerationtogenerationit shallliewaste,noneshallpassthrough itforeverandever."

Howfarthewordfiremaybeliterallyspokenofhellwedon'tknow. Certainlyitisnotafiresuchaswe haveonearth."Ourfireisbeneficial andcheerful,intendedforourcomfort.Thefireofhellhasnobeneficial qualities.Itisnotfedwithfuel,but itislightedandfedwithsinandfannedbythebreathofGod'sanger." Weknow,however,thatthereisan awfulmeaninginthetermswhichare appliedinHolyScripturetohell.St. Matthewcallsit"afurnaceoffire." St.Luke"aplaceoftorment."St. Johncallsit"apoolburningwithfire andbrimstone;"JesusChristwill calitattheLastJudgment"Everlastingfirepreparedforthedevilandhis angels."

Thatthereisaphysicalpaininhell iscertain.Forthe-bodiesofthelost willsuffertogetherwiththesoul aftertheLastJudgment.Anditis mostnatural,saysapiouswriter,that Godwillemployanaturalelement, suchasfire,forthepunishmentof thosewhohavesinnedbythemisuse ofmaterialthings.

H.

Thereisatwofoldsufferinginhell. Theprimarysufferingisthepainof loss.Thatis,thelossofGodandof allhappiness. ThelossofGodisthegreatestevil thatcanbefallaman.Why?BecauseGodisthegreatestgood,for whichmanhasbeenmadeandwhich heislongingfor.But,moreover,it isahopelesslosswhichisnottemperedbythehopeofrepentance-asitis thecasewiththesinner,orbytI4hope ofseeingGodafterawhile-asitisthe casewiththeholysouls.Thelossof Godinhellisirreparable.Thedamn. edwillgrasptherealityoftheirmisfortuneandwillrealise,thatishas beenentirelythroughone'sfault,and thatthingsmighthavebeensodifferent.Canyouimaginethehomesicknessofanexilebanishedtoaforeign land?Howwouldheliketoreturn andseehisdearfatherandmother, hisbrothersandsistersandhisfriends. Yethiswishneverbecomesareality. Suchisthehopelesssituationofthe damned."Quiaininfernonullaest redemptio."Outofhellthereisno redemption.

TogetherwiththelossofGodisthe exclusionofallhappiness.Hewho loseswhatismore,loseswhatisless. AlmightyGodisthegreatestgood, andeveryothergood,andsotheloss ofHimisthegreatestevilandinvolvesallotherevils.Godislight. WhereHeisnotthereisalandof darkness.Godislife.WhereHe isnot,thereisdeath,Godisorder andharmony,whereHeisnot,thereis aneverlastinghorrorandmisery.This absenceofGod,orexclusionofgood, isthemainideainthepictureofhell proposedtousbyJob:"Alandthatis darkandcoveredwiththemistof death;alandofmiseryanddarkness, wheretheshadowofdeathandno order,buteverlastinghorrordwelleth."

Somuchforthepainofloss.A secondsufferingisthepainofsense whichisparticularlyrepresentedby fire.Thewholemanwillsufferfor hissins;thesoulandthebody.The soulforitsconsenttocommitthesin. Thebodyastheinstrumentormedium throughwhichthesinwascommitted. Amortalsininhellwillarouseinthe mindthesamecontrarypassionsthat itarousesinthesinneroncommitting thesin.Thesepassions,though,will beofamoreintensedegreeinhell. Hereonearthanevilpassion,oreven thewishofalustfulaction,butabove allthebaddeeditself,blindsandsets intoconfusionthemind,anddisorganisesthebodilyfunctions.Inhell theeffect.ofmortalsinistofill,also, themindwiththemostfuriousand conflictingpassionssuchasdespair,disgrace,disappointment,humiliation. sorrow,fearandsoforth,whileitwill tormentthebody,thatpartofthe bodyespeciallythatcommittedthe sin."Bywhatthingsamansinneth, bythesamealso,heistormented," saysHolyScripture. M.

Then,thepainofsenseextendsalso totheremorseofconscience.Thisremorseislikeagnawingwormtormentingthemindofthedamnedwith thoughtsoftheirwastedlife;their neglectofgracesandopportunities; theirhorriblesinsandblackdeeds. Theparable,"Sonremember,"inthe GospelofSt.Lukeaffordsanillustrationofthisremorse."Son,remem-ber-itisAbrahamspeakingtoDives inhell-thatthoudidstreceivegood thingsinthylife-time,andlikewise Lazarusevilthings:butnowheis comforted,andthouarttormented."

Yes,thedamnedwillremembertheir sinsandwastedlife.Ohcruelmemory!alwaysalivetotherealityand eternityofthepainsinhell,andto thefactofthesinscommittedduring life.Thingsmighthavebeensodifferent,butnowtheycannotalter.Oh! thedistressthata"mighthavebeen" willmeantothedamned!Itwill piercetheirmind,dayandnight,like acruelsword.Theatheistmight havebelieved,buthedidnot.The rationalistmighthavenotrejected revelation,buthedid.Theindifferentmanmighthavebeenconcerned withthetruth,buthewasnot.The Christian,butabovealltheCatholic, mighthavebelievedenough,orpracticedbetterhisfaith,buthedidnot. Inconclusion,allmighthaveshared, onlyiftheywanted,inthegracesof theCrucifiedOne,buttheydidnot want.

Oh,cruelmemory,ifonlythou shouldstdie!Butitwillnotdie.It willbealivetotherealitiesoflife whileGodshallbeGod.Itwillbe aliveinalandofmiseryanddarkness; inaloathsomeprisonofeverlasting, painful,andinextinguishablefire..

AConvertandTheMass

(ByStanleyB.James.)

Ihavebeenturningovertheleaves ofbookletintendedtoexplainthe Masstonon-Catholics.Speakingfrom myownexperience,Ishouldsaythat thereisneedofsuchmanuals.Those towhomtheworshipoftheChurchhas beenfamiliarfromchildhoodcan scarcelyimaginetheconfusionitcreatesinthemindoftheoutsider.That impressionofsomethingalienandincomprehensiblewhichtheMassgivesto theuninstructedmusthaveresulted, incountlesscases,indiscouragingfurtherenquiry.Onemaybeconscious ofthebeautyandreverentialatmosphereoftheservice,but,ifitbeunintelligible,theeffectmustbevery greatlydiminished.Thosebooklets thereforewhichofferanexplanationof whatisbeingsaidanddoneservea veryusefulpurpose.Nevertheless,I thinkthat,hadIreadoneinmypreCatholicdays,itwouldhavefailedto overcomemyprejudices.Thereason forthatfailuremaybeinstructive.

Itistheintentionwhichliesbehind theMasswhichissoperplexingtothe casualvisitor.Inthemajorityof casesheentersaCatholicchurchwith theideaofdiscoveringwhetherthat formofworshipappealstohimorno. Atleast,theimplicitviewofthematteratthebackofhismindisthatCatholicworshipmustbejudgedaccord. ingtoitsabilitytoawakenhissoul's response.Theveryfactthatherejectsitbecausehedoesnotunderstand itrevealshisinitialmistake.Books ofinstruction,whilemakingthemattermoreintelligible,mayquitefailto correctthismistake.Theymaylead himtoapproveoftheMass,buthis approvalwillbebasedonwrong grounds.Itissimilartotheappreciationhemayexpressconcerninga cleverlywrittenandwellactedplay.

Iwishsomeone,atthestagewhenI wasvisitingCatholicchurchesinthis mood,hadtakentneasideandsaid: "Youaremissingthewholepoint.The ChurchworshipsGodinthismanner becauseitwassoordained.Attend. anceonthepartofthefaithfulisprimarilyanactofobedience.Thisisno caseofdevisingsomethingthatshall meetthewishesofthemajority.The offeringoftheHolySacrificewithsuch dignityandbeautyofceremonialas Itsinfinitesignificancedemandsisa divinecommand.Mylikesanddislikes,thequestionwhetherIdoor di,notfindsatisfactioninit,has nothingtodowiththematter.- I think,ifsomeonehadsaidthattome hewouldhavesavedalotoftrouble.

Thedifferencewhichhasbeenindi= catedherebetweentheattitudeofthe Catholicandthatofnon-Catholicserves toexplainanaspectofmyexperience asaconvertwhichnodoubthasbeen sharedbyothers.

Devotional,aestheticandintellectual interestintheMassincreasedrapidly. Itwasatopicdiscussionconcerning whichwaspereniallyexciting.The new-foundTreasurecouldnotbetoo stoutlydefendednoritscontentstoo eagerlyexplored.

Andthen,withmyreceptioninto theChurch,allthisdiedaway.HearingMassbecameanobligationrather thananadventure,anactofreligious obedienceratherthananovelandexcitingexperience.AnoutsiderobservingmemighthavesaidthatI hadsuddenlylostmyinterestinwhat oncehadbeensostimulating.In fact,thatkindofthingoftenissaid aboutconverts.Theyareaccusedof decliningzeal.Romeissupposedto havecooledtheirdevotionallife.It ischargedagainstthemasafaultthat theyassistatMassonlybecausethey must,andnotbecausetheywantto doso.Theveryobligationwhichis thegroundoftheirreligiouslifeisconstruedasanimperfection.Thefact thatinofferingtheHolySacrificethey arefulfillingtheirLord'scommand ratherthanindulgingtheirownreligiousproclivities,ismadethebasisof adversecriticism.Yetitisthis1a.
