Each one of us will be judged immediately after death. This judgment is called the Particular Judgment. Those who are free from mortal sin, at death, will be saved. They will go either to purgatory or to heaven. Those who die in mortal sin will be condemned to hell. At the end of the world God will raise up our bodies from the dead. Then all the people will be gathered together to be judged by Christ. This judgment is called General Judgment. All that has been decreed by the Particular Judgment will be affirmed by the General Judgment. After the end of the world heaven and hell alone will exist. Purgatory will no longer exist.

When will God bring our body back to life? Yes ; on the last day of the world God will gather together all the people that ever lived. Then our Lord will come to judge them all together. This will be the General Judgment. Of course, our Lord will judge them all the same as He did at the Particular Judgment. Why then do you think our Lord will judge all the people together at the end of the world? He will show how just the Particular Judgment was. At the end of the world our Lord will come in great glory. He will be surrounded by multitudes of angels and saints. You can read about this in the Gospel of St. Matthew 25.

What two places only will exist after the last day? How long will heaven and hell exist after that? How many of us will have our body again on the last day?

For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat ; I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink ; I was a stranger, and you took me not in ; naked, and you covered me not ; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.” (St. Matt. 25.)
Now, why will our Lord say all this to the wicked? How could they have given Him some-thing to eat and the rest? To whom did our Lord want them to do these things? Whose children are the poor and the outcast and the sick? What did it show when they did not do kind deeds for others in their life? Where will the wicked all go after our Lord says this to them ?

The Bible says that the good people will all stand together at our Lord’s right hand. Then He will say to them : “Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and -you gave me to eat ; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink ; I was a stranger, and you took me in ; naked, and you covered me ; sick, and you visited me ; I was in prison, and you came to me.” (St. Matt. 25.)
Now, why will our Lord say that they gave Him food and drink and shelter ? For whom did they show love when they did these things to poor people? Where will our Lord take the good people after that? When will they have their body forever? Who will be very, very happy at the General Judgment? Whom shall you have with you in heaven? When shall you be united with all your dear ones? How long shall you love one another there? What shall you have in heaven ? When shall you have all that you can desire? How will the good people feel at the General Judgment?
