mortal sin moment of death
Question from on 08-11-2007:
Dear Fr. Levis, I understand that the only way that a person can go to hell is if there is unrepented mortal sin at the last moment of his life. If lust is a capital sin and impurity in thought,word & deed can result in mortal sin I feel that the probability of going to hell is very high in cases of unexpected death when there is no possibility of confession & extreme unction. Apart from weekly confession,how can a person be with no unrepented mortal sins at all times when the chances that one is in mortal sin due to impurity in thought word & deed is always present ? Thanks, Joseph
Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 08-12-2007:
Joseph, God is good but the danger of eternal personal loss is real too. The basic stance of a good believer is trust, confidence that the scenario you lay out will not happen to him. And of course it won't. As we live, so we die. If we live a life of faith, generally so we die, with confidence in the endless love of our Savior. Fr. Bob Levis
