Souls coming to Judgment
"Every man receives his eternal recompense in his immortal soul from the moment of his death in a particular judgment by Christ, the judge of the living and the dead. "We believe that the souls of all who die in Christ's grace . . . are the People of God beyond death. On the day of resurrection, death will be definitively conquered, when these souls will be reunited with their bodies" (Paul VI, CPG § 28)".
- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, §1051 & 1052.
My sermon for today, All Souls' day, can be read here.
This is a detail from the top of the medieval reredos in All Souls College, Oxford.
