Retribution and

Judgment
Module in LIFE AND BEYOND
INTRODUCTION
In every action that we do, there is/are always consequences/s that
we have to accept. It may be that bad, or come a chain of goodness
and luck. How aware are we of that truth? Also, judgment comes
in and with everything. We tend judge without even knowing what
then is the backstory behind a person, things, or event. What could
probably be its equivalent to life, and even in death?

This module presents the urgency of knowing that the


consequences of our actions will lead to our personal judgment.

I.What is
Retribution?
According to Merriam -Webster dictionary, with
its prefix re-, meaning "back", retribution means
literally "payback". And indeed, we usually use it
when talking about personal revenge, whether it's
retribution for an insult in a high-school corridor or
retribution for a guerrilla attack on a government
building.
But retribution isn't always so personal:
God takes "divine retribution" on humans
several times in the Old Testament, especially
in the great Flood that wipes out almost the
entire human race. And retribution for
criminal acts, usually in the form of a prison
sentence, is taken by the state, not the
victims.
In dealing or studying Theology, retribution
is just about: “the good will be rewarded, and
the bad will be punished. To fully understand
the concept of retribution, read Deuteronomy
chapter 28 which declares God’s blessings for
those who obey Him and curses to those who
disobey Him.
Retribution is all about reward and punishment. Generally
speaking, the teachings of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition
refer to retribution, that is, a reward or a punishment according to
each person’s deeds. (Belmonte, 1993). “[God] will repay each
person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in
doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal
life; but to those who are self-serving and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness, He will give wrath and indignation.
(Rom 2:6-8).
II. Particular Judgment

Do you know this segment in Eat Bulaga? What is the


concept/mechanics of this game?
When we pass judgment on a person, we do not act
righteously. We should always be just and merciful. In
relation to our topic, the Catechism of the Catholic teaches:
Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal
soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular
judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into
the blessedness of heaven-through a purification or
immediately, -or immediate and everlasting damnation.
(CCC 1022)
Particular Judgment is a Church’s
doctrine which says that “immediately after
death the particular judgment takes place, in
which, by a divine sentence of judgment, the
eternal fate of the deceased person is decided.
(Stay with Us Lord Book4, p.43)
The Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church stresses
that particular judgment will be irrevocable and final. In
dying every man arrives at the moment of truth. Now it is
no longer possible to repress or conceal anything; nothing
more can be changed. God sees us as we are. We come
before his tribunal, where all is made right, for if we are to
be in God’s holy presence at all, we must be “right” with
him—as right as God wanted us to be when he created us.)
Perhaps we will still have to undergo a process of
purification, or maybe we will be able to fall into
God’s arms immediately. But perhaps we will be so
full of wickedness, hatred, and denial of everything
that we will turn our face away from love forever,
away from God. A life without love, however, is
nothing but hell. (YouCat 157)
Also, our own Catechism for Filipino Catholics
briefly explains the concept of particular judgment.
But this judgment of Christ is not something merely
imposed on us from the outside, as it were. It means
that by our free acts in life, we have become open to
Christ’s light and love – and are received by, with,
before the Father.
Or we have freely made ourselves
opaque and impervious to His light, and
have thus freely chosen to harden our
hearts to his love and let ourselves be
condemned to eternal punishment.
(CFC 2067)
