Today’s Reading: “Even a ‘Last-minute Catholic’ has a way to Heaven.” #27.

Even a self-righteous sinner has time to "Be Catholic!" before they die.

There are two kinds of people on earth.  Self-centered people believe:  “If I have a soul, God has to let it into Heaven.”

In Matthew 10:66-33, Jesus told us how He will judge every human soul:

“Everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My Heavenly Father.  But, whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before My Heavenly Father.”

Catholics are blessed to “acknowledge” The Church-Creating Word that Jesus Spoke to His First Catholic Pope and put it “before others”:  “And,  I say unto you:  ‘Thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.'”

The most important question on earth:  “If I refuse to “acknowledge”  The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Spoken and I choose to “deny” The Seven Catholic Sacraments that are among “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”, will Jesus refuse to “acknowledge” my soul at Judgment and “deny” my getting into Heaven?”

The soul of every Catholic martyr is saved because they did not let persecution and death lead them to “deny Him before others“.  May anyone blessed to regret not being Catholic confess the sin of vanity, ask for God’s Mercy, and “Die Catholic”.

#1146 of St. Faustina’s Diary gives hope to every type of self-righteousness on earth!  “Let the greatest sinners put their trust in My mercy.  They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy.  My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls.  Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me.”

What happens to souls that do not “appeal” to His “mercy”?  “Write:  ‘before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy.  He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My Justice.'”
