✞ True trust reproduces Divine Life in the soul.
While I was praying my morning prayers, I said to the Lord, ‘I offer you all my petitions and especially today, I offer you the soul of Stephen Hawkins.” I knew that during his life he had denied the existence of God, but he also may have done some good in his life, so I offered him up to the Lord.
I said, ‘Lord, please have mercy on him.”
The next morning, while I was praying my morning prayers, the angel of the Lord appeared.
He said, “I was sent to you by the Lord, to explain and show you something for the prayers that you offered for Professor Stephen. He was judged by our Lord, and I have to tell you he is at the very bottom in the darkness. He has to wait there until the End of Time to be judged at Final Judgement.”
Then the angel asked me, “Do you know what this means?”
I just listened.
“By writing his book and distributing it around the world, he was telling people that God does not exist. He polluted the whole world by denying God, and this is the worst thing that anybody could do,” said the angel.
I understood that I was not to pray for him, since he offended God so much, no prayer could touch him. He will have to wait until the end of the world, at the Universal Judgement, to be judged by God. He now knows that God does exist.
As the angel was explaining all of this to me, in a vision he was showing me, where Stephen was now. I could see him all curled up and lying in total darkness and confined to a very small space, enough for him to fit in.
He now realises that God Almighty exists, but there is nothing he can do to change things.
Looking at him, I felt very sorry for him, but there was nothing that could be done for him.
The angel repeated, quite a few times, “He will have to wait there until the End of Time for the Final Judgement.”
