If in heaven we could still feel sympathy for those of our loved ones who had sinned and deserved the fires of hell I suspect they would not be in hell but perhaps through our prayer and forgiveness given a chance to come to perfection in purgatory. But if they were in hell we would have been granted the wisdom to recognise the justice of our respective sentences. |

The problem with this is that it focuses on "loved ones". These are people we care about through personal relationships. But what about all those who may not have had much of a chance to be prayed for, either because they were "unwanted", or belonged to families who had no church background? I used to share digs with a bloke who'd been largely raised in a "Boys Home", along with one of his two brothers. It was a rather cruel place by the sound of it. They were put in there because their parents were alcoholic. They both had foetal alcohol syndrome, which made them look a bit like they had Downs Syndrome. The bloke I knew always had a sense of God, whereas his brother didn't. To cut a long story short, the brother's remains were found washed up on a fence. It was believed he took shelter under a bridge during rain, and at the age of 23 died alone in floodwaters. His brother would be praying for him, but not too many others. What about all the unknowns in history, the rejected, the isolated, the mistreated? |
