. Is finding our ‘gate’ in The City of Heaven like finding one ant-hole in the entire North American Continent?

Question 1: “What can we learn from St. Gerard, who died in 1095?”
Answer: “We learn that on the evening of his death, he told his fellow monks ‘Leave me, now, because the angels are coming to take my soul to Heaven.’ Daily stories in ‘The Lives of The Saints’ and the story of Lazarus, mention ‘Angels’ coming to take the souls of Holy men and women to Heaven.”
~
Question 2: “When we die, do we need God’s Angels to let us into Heaven?”
Answer: “We need God’s Angels to find our ‘gate’! The City of God is huge! Rev. 21 tells us it is a cube! Each side is 1,500 miles long and high!”
~
Question 4: “Can’t our soul find something that huge without an Angel’s help?”
Answer: “All the departing souls see Heaven! The hard part is finding the one ‘gate’ that our soul is allowed to enter. Each ‘gate’ may be no bigger than a grain of sand! There are three ‘gates’ in each ‘wall’. Finding our ‘gate’ in the huge, four ‘walls’ of Heaven is like finding one tiny ant-hole on the entire North American Continent! We need an Angel to take us to it!”
~
Question 5: “Why should we consider that our soul can only enter into ‘one’ of the 12 ‘gates’?”
Answer: “The four ‘walls’ of ‘The Heavenly City’ are made of 12 colors of precious stones. Each color is for one of The 12 Tribes of People represented by Jacob’s Sons. That’s why there are 12 colors of jewels in the breastplates worn by Jewish priests. Every soul whose color has not been stained by sin can get through the one of 12 ‘gates’ God made for That Tribe of People in ‘The Heavenly City’.”
~
Question 6: “Is finding our ‘gate’ harder than finding a ‘needle in a haystack’?”
Answer: “Finding our ‘gate’ is harder than finding a needle in a million haystacks!”
~
Question 7: “How can we get the ‘color’ of our ‘soul’ pure enough for God to send an angel to take our soul to its ‘gate’?”
Answer: “Catholics take advantage of The Purifying Power that God gave only to His Catholic priests. ‘Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’ Catholic sins are ‘Absolved‘ by The Power of Jesus. That restores our soul to its unstained ‘color’ so that His Guiding Angel will take us to our ‘gate’.”
