SOUL

 

 

Man's soul is like a progressive report card.  Your Guardian Angel is the teacher that guides you along the way.  How is that possible when there are billions of people and there are only seven Archangels, one for each day of the week assigned when one was born?  At the first cry of a child, if it is a Sunday, St. Michael, the Prince of the Heavenly Host is present; Monday --- St. Gabriel, the Special Messenger of God; Tuesday --- St. Rafael, the Healer and Guide for the Christian Pilgrim; Wednesday --- St. Uriel,  the Archangel of Justice; Thursday --- St. Setiel the Archangel of Worship; Friday --- St. Judiel, the Bearer of God's Merciful Love; and Saturday --- St. Baraquiel, the Guardian and Provider of the Children of God.

 

Actually, these Archangels can be likened to generals in the army.  Colonels, majors, and other subordinates down to privates under the seven are assigned to guard and guide creations on Earth.  Each private has to report instantaneously of the happenings to each human being.  There is no problem as this is done faster than the computation or recording in a computer..

 

Each evil thought, word, or deed is recorded in a report card. They are like

the red marks.  Each good thought, word, or deed is also recorded.  Sometimes, the recording is delayed a bit, but eventually it is straightened out.  The recording is done in your soul.  That's why the clairvoyant who can tune in to your soul can read your character if he so desires.

 

When you say sincerely the act of contrition and receive Holy Communion, Jesus Christ erases the red marks.  You in effect are allowed to rewrite your report card.

 

After death, when you present the report card to St. Peter, he will send you back to Earth or to wait in the waiting room called limbo.  If there are red marks, you may be told to go back to Earth and take the removal exam.  If it is all red, you will be allowed to choose, either to retake the whole exam or simply make it easier by entering the kingdom of Satan below.  If you are intensely Earth-bound, you are predisposed to choose the kingdom of Satan where all your Earthly desires: money, pleasure, sex, food, honor, etc. are fully satisfied.  If one dies, he should be prepared to accept the inconvenience of not being allowed to roam freely the whole universe.

 

Unlike the school's report card, yours is done on a daily basis.  When you are fast asleep, it is evaluated up above.  Sometimes your destined length of time on Earth is extended or shortened depending on your performance and the need for extension.  Sometimes, it is shortened when you do pray sincerely from deliverance from strong temptation.  But by and large, the computed allotted time (predestination) is faithfully followed.  The length of time of your stay on Earth is also computed as to give you reasonable time for your perfection.   Opportunities are scheduled to come to your life.  Temptations, major ones, are preprogrammed.  Whether you win or lose, it is recorded and you get the corresponding mark.

 

The path you choose redirects your destiny. If you choose the evil path, your destined time might be shortened to prevent further damage to other created beings.  Thus, the criminals often die sooner than later.

 

On the other hand, if you choose the hard but correct path, which is climbing the mountain to the top of perfection, then your destined time might be extended to uplift other beings.  In such a case, you do not worry so much about dying.  You entrust your fate to the Lord.  Living longer or shorter is irrelevant.  What matters is how to convince as many people as possible to climb with you the ladder of perfection, to tread the path of righteousness.  This is apostolic work.  You are on a mission.  Because of what you do, temptations will be bigger so as to test your Will Power.  The left spirits whose duty is to tempt will find those treading the path of righteousness a big challenge.  More credits will be given to the tempters if they succeed.

 

On the whole, life is a series of tests.  Problems are the questions.  The way you solve them, you are credited accordingly, and this is shown in the report card --- your soul.  The whiter the soul, the more correct answers; the blacker, the more errors in your answers.
