III. The Final Purification, or Purgatory
1030 All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
1031 The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.604 The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. the tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire:605
As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come.606
1032 This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: “Therefore Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.”607 From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.608 The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead:
Let us help and commemorate them. If Job’s sons were purified by their father’s sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.609

The Last Judgment

V. The Last Judgment
1038 The resurrection of all the dead, “of both the just and the unjust,”621 will precede the Last Judgment. This will be “the hour when all who are in the tombs will hear [the Son of man’s] voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”622 Then Christ will come “in his glory, and all the angels with him …. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left…. and they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”623
1039 In the presence of Christ, who is Truth itself, the truth of each man’s relationship with God will be laid bare.624 The Last Judgment will reveal even to its furthest consequences the good each person has done or failed to do during his earthly life:
All that the wicked do is recorded, and they do not know. When “our God comes, he does not keep silence.”. . . he will turn towards those at his left hand: . . . “I placed my poor little ones on earth for you. I as their head was seated in heaven at the right hand of my Father – but on earth my members were suffering, my members on earth were in need. If you gave anything to my members, what you gave would reach their Head. Would that you had known that my little ones were in need when I placed them on earth for you and appointed them your stewards to bring your good works into my treasury. But you have placed nothing in their hands; therefore you have found nothing in my presence.”625
1040 The Last Judgment will come when Christ returns in glory. Only the Father knows the day and the hour; only he determines the moment of its coming. Then through his Son Jesus Christ he will pronounce the final word on all history. We shall know the ultimate meaning of the whole work of creation and of the entire economy of salvation and understand the marvellous ways by which his Providence led everything towards its final end. the Last Judgment will reveal that God’s justice triumphs over all the injustices committed by his creatures and that God’s love is stronger than death.626
1041 The message of the Last Judgment calls men to conversion while God is still giving them “the acceptable time, . . . the day of salvation.”627 It inspires a holy fear of God and commits them to the justice of the Kingdom of God. It proclaims the “blessed hope” of the Lord’s return, when he will come “to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all who have believed.”628

¿A dónde van los niños abortados?
Oración para la reconciliación con los niños no nacidos
Brevemente, estos son los actos que deben realizar un hombre o una mujer responsables que han sufrido la pérdida de un hijo:
• Pedir perdón a Dios por la responsabilidad que haya podido tener en que se malograra ese embarazo y confesarse.
• Darle un nombre al niño, bien pidiendo a Jesús Eucaristía que lo inspire, bien eligiéndolo uno mismo.
• En la oración, pedid perdón al niño por las heridas del rechazo o por no haber podido darle una sepultura conveniente y que no haya recibido el sacramento del Bautismo.
• Orar por su sanación y por la propia sanación interior; declararle el propio amor, el actual deseo de acogerlo como regalo de Dios, de darle la vida.
• Encargar una misa por el eterno descanso de ese niño, a fin de que Dios le haya concedido el Bautismo de deseo (Dios, que conoce el pasado, presente y futuro, puede haberle dado ese regalo al morir en atención a las oraciones que se hagan hoy), y asistir a ella para dar gracias a Dios y devolvérselo libremente con la oración siguiente:
Oración
La vida de todo ser humano está en tus manos, Señor Jesús, y dijiste: “El que acoja a un niño como este en mi nombre, me acoge a mí (Mt 18,5)”.
Acepto ahora el niño que me diste sin que fuera consciente de ello, lo acojo en tu amor y declaro que lo amo como tú lo amas; lo recibo de ti como un gran regalo, en mi seno, para que crezca, mes tras mes, hasta su nacimiento. Deseo darle la vida para que sea feliz. Este niño muy amado, te lo devuelvo de todo corazón, lo entrego a tu Madre, a mi Madre, a su Madre, la Virgen María, al pie de la Cruz, para que lo ponga en tu costado abierto, en tu Corazón Traspasado. Oh Jesús, Señor Misericordioso, cúrame y libera completamente mi espíritu de todo recuerdo doloroso y de todo trauma por la pérdida de este hijo. Libera a mi hijo y a mí mismo de todo dominio del espíritu de muerte. Sana a mi hijo de todas sus heridas de rechazo y de falta de amor que haya podido sentir al malograrse su gestación. Cólmalo de tu paz y de tu alegría para que exulte en ti eternamente. Amén.
