2020年1月26日東京、大阪 御公現後第三主日の説教―地獄について
聖ピオ十世会 ブノワ・ワリエ神父
愛する兄弟の皆さん、
先ほど本日の福音と書簡で聞いたことは次の通りです。
「国の子らは外の闇に投げ出され、そこで泣いて歯ぎしりするだろう」（福音：マテオ8章12節）
「復讐は私がする！」（書簡：ローマ12章19節）
聖パウロによるヘブライ人への次の言葉もあります。
「生ける天主の御手に落ちるのは恐ろしいことである」（ヘブライ10章31節）
地獄での痛みとは、本質的かつ永遠に天主を失うことであり、また感覚によって責めさいなまれる苦しみです。
I．天主を失うこと
罪とは、天主を軽んじることです。「彼らは私に逆らった」（イザヤ1章2節）
１．天主と共にいることのできる喜び、および天主の特別な御摂理をはく奪されること
◆審判のとき、地獄の宣告を受けた者は、天主の本性についての特別な照らしを受け、次のようにさとるのです。私は天主のためにつくられたのだった！・・・
◆そのあと、彼は天主から無理やり引き離されることになるのです。
「のどの渇いた者が、手足を縛られて、千年にもわたって、とてもおいしい飲み物の入った大きな飲み物の器が目の前にありながら、それに口をつけることができず、一滴さえも味わえないという拷問はどのようなものでしょうか？」（聖アントニオ・マリア・クラレトから引用）
◆天主の気遣い、照らし、励ましはどうでしょうか？ ・・・天主はもはや彼を気に掛けてくださいません。
「霊魂は、もういかなる善も行えないようになります。想像の中に出てくる恐ろしい亡霊以外の何者でもありません。心の中は、最も深い苦悩で満たされます。意志は、怒りや狂気、失望で永遠にかき乱されます。記憶は、最も痛々しい思い出に、永遠に悲しみを感じるままとなります。その霊魂がどちらを向いても、混乱と苦みを見るのです」（聖アントニオ・マリア・クラレト）
２．天主を究極の悪として認識すること―天主の御怒り
究極の善としての天主を失う者は、天主を究極の悪と考えるようになります。
◆激しく御怒りになり、報復のために常に武装され、永遠に彼を苦しめて追及し続けるという天主の存在から逃れる方法はありません。
◆地獄に落ちた者の最大の望みは、死ぬことです。
「人々は死を求めても、見いださず、死を望んでも、死は彼らから逃げるであろう」（黙示録9章6節）
３．永遠に後悔すること―私たち自身の良心が私たちの審判者となる
霊魂には、自分が有罪であることと、自分の受ける永遠の不幸に対して自分以外には責めるものが誰もいないということが、次のようにはっきりと分かります。天主は私に本当に多くの恩寵を与えてくださった。私が永遠に滅びるとしたら、それは私の過ちのせいである。
II．天主の友を失うこと
天主を失うということに加えて、天主の友をも失うこと
１．童貞聖マリア、諸聖人、守護の天使、救われた私たちの友人たちや親せきたち
２．彼らは天主の正義に満足します
「正しい人は復讐を見て喜ぶ」（詩篇57章11節）
彼らは、私たちの側ではなく、天主の側につくのです。
III．感覚による痛み―悪魔の餌食
最もよく知られる痛みは火によるものです。火山の激しい熱を見れば、地獄の永遠の苦しみがどのようなものであるか、ほんの少しだけわかることでしょう…
しかし、これに加えて、悪魔は地獄に落ちた者を、自分の望み通り、好きなように拷問にかけることができます。なぜなら、天主は引き下がられ、地獄に落ちた人は悪魔の専制支配のもとに置かれたままとなるからです。
ここ地上で私たちの聞いたことのある最も残虐な行為や拷問は、そのすべてを合わせても、実際の地獄をわずかに反映したものに過ぎないのです。
皆さんは閉所恐怖症ですか？ その恐ろしい感覚が永遠に続くことを想像してください。
結論
地獄に関する聖パウロの明確な教えが、テサロニケ人への後の書簡にあります。
「主イエズスがその能力の天使たちとともに天からくだり、炎の中で、天主を知らぬ人々と主イエズスの福音に服従せぬ人々に仇を討たれるとき、その人々は、主のみ顔とその力の光栄から遠ざけられ永遠の滅びの罰を受けるであろう」（テサロニケ後書1章7-9節）
聖パウロは、地獄には感覚による痛み（火）と、天主を失ったことによる心の痛みがある、と明確に強調しています。
このことは、私たちの信仰の教義です。
・ですから、ここまで引用した筆者たちが地獄のことを大げさに述べていると思いたい誘惑に私たちがかられるときは、地獄は特に罰のためにつくられた場所だということを、ただ思い起こしましょう。永遠に続くグアンタナモ収容所のようなものです。
・地獄では、拷問は合法なのです。

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Below is the text of President Donald Trump's address to the 2020 March for Life. This is the first time any U.S. president has attended the march, which is the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world.
REMARKS BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AT 2020 MARCH FOR LIFE
Thank you very much and thank you, Jeanne. It is my profound honor to be the first president in history to attend the March for Life. [applause] We are here for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential. [applause]
For 47 years, Americans of all backgrounds have traveled from across the country to stand for life.
And today as President of the United States, I am truly proud to stand with you. [applause]
I want to welcome tens of thousands – this is a tremendous turnout – tens of thousands of high school and college students who took long bus rides to be here in our nation's capital. And to make you feel even better, there are tens of thousands of people outside that we passed on the way in. If anybody would like to give up their spot, we can work it out.
We have a tremendous group of people outside. Thousands and thousands wanted to get in. This is some great success. [applause]
Young people are the heart of the March for Life. And it’s your generation that is making America the pro-family, pro-life nation. [applause]
The life movement is led by strong women, amazing faith leaders, and brave students who carry on the legacy of pioneers before us who fought to raise the conscience of our nation and uphold the rights of our citizens. You embrace mothers with care and compassion. You are empowered by prayer and motivated by your unselfish love. You are grateful and we are so grateful – these are incredible people – to be joined by Secretary Alex Azar and Kellyanne Conway. [applause]
And thanks also to Senators Mike Lee and James Lankford who are here. Thank you, fellas. And Representatives Steve Scalise, Chris Smith, Ralph Abraham, Warren Davidson, Bob Latta, John Joyce, Lloyd Smucker, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Brad Wenstrup. Thank you all. I have to say – and I look at it, and I see it exactly – we have many more politicians in the audience. But if you don't mind, I won’t introduce them all.
All of us here understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. [applause] Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life. [applause]
When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God's creation. [applause] When we hold a newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a family. When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul. One life changes the world – from my family, and I can tell you, I send love, and I send great, great love – and from the first day in office, I have taken historic action to support America’s families and to protect the unborn. [applause]
And during my first week in office, I reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy and we issued a landmark pro-life rule to govern the use of Title X taxpayer funding. I notified Congress that I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policy or that encourages the destruction of human life. [applause]
At the United Nations, I made clear that global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life. [applause] Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House. [applause]
As the Bible tells us, each person is wonderfully made. [applause]
We have taken decisive action to protect the religious liberty – so important – religious liberty has been under attack all over the world and frankly, very strongly attacked in our nation. You see it better than anyone. But we are stopping it. And we’re taking care of doctors, nurses, teachers, and groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor. [applause]
We are preserving faith-based adoption and to uphold our founding documents, we have appointed 187 federal judges, who apply the Constitution as written, including two phenomenal supreme court justices – Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. [applause]
We are protecting pro-life students’ rights to free speech on college campuses. And if universities want federal taxpayer dollars, then they must uphold your First Amendment right to speak your mind. And if they don't, they pay a very big financial penalty, which they will not be willing to pay. [applause]
Sadly, the far left is working to erase our God-given rights, shut down faith-based charities, ban religious leaders from the public square, and silence Americans who believe in the sanctity of life. They are coming after me because I am fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice. And we will win because we know how to win. [applause] We all know how to win. We all know how to win. You’ve been winning for a long time. You’ve been winning for a long time.
Together, we are the voice for the voiceless. When it comes to abortion – and you know this, you’ve seen what’s happened – Democrats have embraced the most radical and extreme positions taken and seen in this country for years and decades, and you can even say, for centuries.
Nearly every top Democrat in congress now supports taxpayer-funded abortion all the way up until the moment of birth. Last year, lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb right up until delivery.
Then, we had the case of the Democrat governor in the state of Virginia, the commonwealth of Virginia. And we love the commonwealth of Virginia, but what is going on in Virginia? What is going on? The governor stated that he would execute a baby after birth. You remember that.
Senate Democrats even blocked legislation that would give medical care to babies who survive attempted abortions. And that’s why I’ve called on Congress – two of our great senators here, so many of our congressmen here – I called upon them to defend the dignity of life and to pass legislation prohibiting late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in their mother's womb. [applause]
This year, the March for Life is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which forever enshrined women's rights to vote in the United States and given by the United States constitution. Such a big event. Today, millions of extraordinary women across America are using the power of their votes to fight for the right and all of their rights as given in the Declaration of Independence – it’s the right to life. [applause]
To all the women here today, your devotion and your leadership uplifts our entire nation and we thank you for that. The tens of thousands of Americans gathered today not only stand for life – it’s really here that they stand for it so proudly together. And I want to thank everybody for that. You stand for life each and every day. You provide housing, education, jobs, and medical care to the women that you serve. You find loving families for children in need of a forever home. You host baby showers for expecting moms. You make – you just make it your life's mission to help spread God's grace.
And to all the moms here today, we celebrate you and we declare that mothers are heroes. [applause] Your strength, devotion, and drive is what powers our nation. Because of you, our country has been blessed with amazing souls who have changed the course of human history.
We cannot know what our citizens yet unborn will achieve. The dreams they will imagine. The masterpieces they will create. The discoveries they will make. But we know this: every life brings love into this world. Every child brings joy to a family. Every person is worth protecting.
And above all, we know that every human soul is divine and every human life, born and unborn, is made in the holy image of Almighty God. [applause]
Together, we will defend this truth all across our magnificent land. We will set free the dreams of our people. And with determined hope, we look forward to all of the blessings that will come from the beauty, talent, purpose, nobility, and grace of every American child.
I want to thank you. This is a very special moment. It’s so great to represent you. I love you all. [applause] And I say with a true passion, thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all. Thank you. [applause]
