Limbo
Refuted.
The Church is
presently considering the fate of children who die without baptism. This
involves the theory of limbo and the Church’s Theological Commission is
questioning if limbo is a valid solution to this problem in the light of the
Church’s developing theology. Our Lord
in the message of Divine Innocence, shows that the
theory of limbo is contrary to God’s Love Justice and Mercy.
11th December 1996.
Patricia. Lord,
what of the theory of Limbo (as an answer to those children put to death before
birth)?
Jesus. These children are not on the fringe*, they
are in the midst of the full battle between the forces of good and evil. The devil is furious to be defeated by an
army of Innocent babes.
[* meaning of the
word Limbo.]
Patricia. Our Lord showed that everything will be put
right in such a startling and original way at the end of time that it would be
too much for us bear while we are alive and in time, it would be too much joy!
Patricia. Lord, Fr.
X says he accepts the doctrine of Limbo.
Jesus. Let us look at it logically for it speaks of a
two-tear system of justice. You accept
that God is all Just and would not punish the innocent. These children are innocent victims of other
people’s sin and have committed no personal sin. They are stained with the stain of original
sin. The Catechism states this does not imply personal guilt. Yet you say that their God will leave them in
a limbo without the Beatific Vision.
What kind of Justice is that? The
justice of disadvantage is the justice of men not of God. I chose the weak and make them strong in
bearing witness to me!
The Church
teaches that even the perpetrators, those who kill the children if they repent
and amend their lives have the full opportunity to enter heaven and see the
face of God. So does the Church teach
that the perpetrators may reach heaven and enjoy the Beatific Vision while the
innocent victims are denied the Beatific Vision and condemned to limbo by an
all Just God.
This is hardly logical!
Paul entirely
approved of the killing of Stephen yet today they share heaven. The children are martyred as heralds of the
Messiah whose teachings they uphold with regard to the sanctity of life. ‘As
for you little child you shall be called a prophet of God the most high. You shall go ahead of the Lord to prepare his
way before Him’ (Benedictus).
Patricia. By the
universal claiming of the children by the
Jesus. They do so by a wordless profession of faith!
By whose Baptism is John Baptised? As is
plainly evident their deaths witness to the breaking of the Laws of God and the
Church. Their claiming will witness to
the truth; "I AM the Way the Truth and the Life" The action of the
Church is vital!
All of the
children are potential rivals to the devil and the same forces of evil that drove
Herod to kill the Holy Innocents . The devil see each innocent human being as an heir to the
Patricia. It is
interesting that there were innocent babes at the beginning of Christ's first
coming and the Gospel of St. John has been quoted in the messages about the
souls of those who have been through the great persecution. Our Lord spoke of his second coming and is
now asking for these children who He says are waiting under the altar of the
Catholic Church in ‘white robes of innocence’ to be raised to the altar as now
is the acceptable time. Perhaps they are
heralds of his second coming a new ‘white robe army’ of holy innocents. Our Lord said they are innocent virgin souls
who will ‘follow the Lamb where ever He goes’ and he wants them to be gathered
into the Church.
The children
Herald the coming of Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life to their
parents, society and the perpetrators of the sin in every country. Not only the sin of abortion but all sins
committed by those who break the laws of God and the Church. Once claimed by the Church the graces that
will be available through the merits of their martyrdom will turn the hearts of
their parents back to their children to the truth that comes from God, to
co-operate with this wonderful grace.
18th August 1999. Limbo.
Jesus. If you send the children to Limbo
then you have sent God to Limbo – Redemption to Limbo – “What you do to the
least of these little ones you do unto me” (Matt 25:40). There will be a greater good done by the
Church claiming the children than by leaving them in a limbo of uncertainty, to
do nothing you receive nothing!
Patricia.
Lord, some say, and the Church seems to allow the idea that the children are in Limbo.
Jesus. So I have given the victims of
abortion, victims of violent attacks upon children before birth a lesser grace
than the repentant perpetrators! Then
you believe in an unjust God. The only
waiting place they wait in, is waiting for the Church
to define their status and eternal end!
They are not on the fringe (Limbo), they wear
the garment of salvation. Ratify their
status for all to see! Proclaim it from
the rooftops!
Patricia.
Lord, what about those who make a case for
Limbo?
Jesus. Then let them go there! Do they want it for themselves? Have you been redeemed for Heaven or only
partly redeemed? (Patricia. God does not
do things by halves)
4th October 1999.
Patricia. I was thinking about the message Our Lord gave on
the 11th Dec.1996 on
the simplification of justification being love, when Our Lord continued to
expand this instruction. I wondered how
one could prove to others that the children killed before birth
are saved. Our Lord then
said:
Jesus. It is not so much a matter of how you can
prove you are justified but why. The why
is LOVE! I love the children will the Church
refute it?
Patricia. Lord, some
in the Church say that because of Original Sin, you send the children to
Limbo. I felt righteous anger
immediately rising in Our Lord’s heart and He said sternly:
Jesus. Limbo
is a lesser love. These
children, while they slept have been given the greatest gift of all,
martyrdom! Let any stand in the
children’s way to full recognition and they will face me directly, in full
confrontation!
Patricia. Speaking of the children Our Lord said:
Jesus. Love is the way, a gratuitous gift of love.
The premise of their justification must begin in Divine Love, my love for my
[martyr] companions. I created them in
love, it is Me you attack when you attack them and it
is a direct attack on Me. You crucify Me anew! For your
sakes, I cover their blood, though you deserve it not!
Grace for the
children freely given in love, grace for the parents and perpetrators freely
given, accepted or rejected. The
children are like sponges soaking up love.
Their capacity for love is infinite.
You are all created in love for love.
The premise for their justification is my love for them, which they do
not reject!
(Patricia. Our
Lord showed that by looking at the natural order of things we can see how
babies behave.)
Jesus. Little babes do not reject love. The child in the womb does not reject the
grace and gift of my love in their martyrdom.
Where else do they find any love but in their Creator. Follow “the Logic of Divine Love”. [….]
Too many argue from the premise of human love which does not go far
enough. In the case of the children,
Limbo is the example of the shortfall.
Let not the Church fall short of full martyr status for the children violently
killed in the womb!
Patricia. Lord, some say we are Pelagianists!*
Jesus. Then, they have not read the messages and know
nothing of the logic of Divine Love!
Patricia. Speaking of the children again:
Jesus. Gratuitous grace freely given, conformed to my
image in death, innocent of actual sin, innocent victims of other peoples sin,
just cause. Love came to the rescue, MY
LOVE, justification and elevation. Give
them the martyrs crown! They do not have to earn it any more than any
other martyr must earn the crown of martyrdom, it is grace alone!
Patricia. Father Y said that the children could exercise
their freewill choosing themselves and rejecting God’s grace of justification.
Jesus. Ask Father Y to discuss the problem of
justification and sanctification with a new-born child. The baby will stare at
him and look for milk and love, and will demand it if Father keeps up his
discussion too long! Babies know what
they want, sustenance, and love, and with regard to salvation, Divine
Love! I am their sustenance, I love
them!
Patricia. A priest said that there is no way to prove that
the children receive a grace in the womb before or at the moment of death, and
that if they did receive grace, they could exercise their freewill against God
in anger towards those who killed them. The Church does not ask if a child
brought to the Baptism font exercises its freewill against the Sacrament.
Jesus. Point 1; Scriptural evidence:
I refer you to
the grace St. John the Baptist received in the womb; ‘And when Elizabeth heard
the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit’ (Luke 1:41); Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet
to the nations.” (Jer 1:5);
Jesus. Point 2; The
objection that some have made that there is no way to prove that the children
receive grace:
Grace brought
them into being in love, divine love!
Grace holds them and all things in being, existence proves the
grace. Would love and grace be denied
them in the hour of their greatest need, and not come to their rescue? Why would I abandon helpless children? What do men do when an abandoned child is
found? Why, when your God is so liberal
with grace for all others, even great sinners, would the helpless babies be
suddenly denied grace? Their right to
life is stolen from the children, a right that I gave them. When they are attacked in the womb, what kind
of grace do they need? - Sanctifying Grace!
In this situation they are in urgent need of baptism. [Baptism of Blood: Christ’s and their
own] They are Baptised
in the Blood of my Crucifixion; (a Baptism of Love)
Desire: God’s
desire and salvific Will, “That all may be saved and come to the
knowledge of the truth”. Love:
Justification via Divine Love.
Jesus. They receive the grace of justification
because that is the prime grace they are in need of; JUSTIFICATION
8th November 1999.
Patricia. As I was reading the message given on the 17th
November 1997, Our Lord continued to give instruction on it.
Jesus. You would not punish those who are handicapped
or who are wounded. You would make
provision for them and do all you can to heal them. Why would your God condemn the innocent
victims of abortion to limbo? I am not
like you, I do not second the actions of man and allow
the innocent to be condemned twice over.
Jesus. Limbo is of man’s making not mine! It is a theory that is out of date. Mercy and compassion have given the children
the full honour of virgin martyrs. This
you must second and raise them to the Altar (of the Catholic Church) for the
whole world to see!
18th February 2000 (i).
Jesus. The Churchmen will limp* along for
centuries with the theory of limbo if they do not accept this grace!
*
See Fr. Philippe Jobert’s theological explanation at
the end.
28th March 2000(ii).
Jesus. Limbo
is a good for nothing answer!
Patricia. That is, no good for the
children, for those who have killed the children, the Church is not adorned
with their glorious martyrdom, glory is not given to God, and God’s
love, mercy, reconciliation and justice is not proclaimed.
29th July 2000.
Patricia. Lord, what would you say to those who
advocate Limbo and give the argument that the word ‘Limbo’ means fringe and
that a fringe is something that decorates a garment and is therefore an
acceptable place for the children?
Jesus. These
mighty martyrs are not a decorative fringe!
They are fully part of the fabric of the Church! ‘They have had their robes washed white in
the Blood of the Lamb’. They are dressed
in the white linen of innocence. Acclaim
them full members of the Church!
28th August 2000(i). Feast of
Patricia. I was reading the second reading taken from
the Confessions of St. Augustine from the Office of Readings for the Feastday and Our Lord referred to it:
R. ‘…….Late have I loved,
O Beauty so ancient and so new; late have I loved you! For behold you were
within me [……] you breathed fragrance upon me, and I drew in my breath and do
now pant for you: I tasted you and now hunger and thirst for you: you touched
me, and I have burned for your peace.’
Jesus. This
is the only way the children ‘live in the Lord’! [‘Anyone who lives in love, lives in God’
(1Jn 4:16)]. Put your faith in God’s
Love for you and towards these children!
Patricia. On re-reading this message on the 10th
November 2000, Our Lord commented again on the statement first included in Evangelium Vitae that aborted children are living in the
Lord (EV. 99). He said:
Jesus. The
only place they don’t live is in limbo!
A theory is a theory! I Am absolute Love and the children live in love and ‘he who
lives in love, lives in God and God lives in him’. Therefore they ‘live in the
Lord’ and ‘Peter has spoken’.
Patricia. This last term ‘Peter has spoken’ goes back
through the tradition of the Concillar Fathers first
coming to light at the Council of Chalcedon (451).
This council was concerned with upholding the divine personhood of Christ and
after the Tome of Pope Leo I in defence of this doctrine, the Council Fathers
exclaimed: “Peter has spoken through the mouth of Leo” (cf
Acts 15:18-12). Interestingly, Pope
Leo’s Tome would have been in Latin, the vernacular language at that time
against the Greek of the day!
16th September
2000.
Patricia. I was looking back over some of the messages
regarding Limbo. Despite what some
theologians hold, Our Lord showed that it was illogical and contrary to the
ways of God. Our Lord suddenly spoke of
the children:
Jesus. They have not gone to Limbo, they have
gone to Love!
Jesus. You constantly keep repeating original
sin, original sin! What about original
Love? Does My Love for them come to
nothing before the original sin of innocent babies?
Jesus. Raise the children in the Church! Their witness (martyrdom) points to the
ordinary means (the Sacraments). Their
witness is an extraordinary witness (martyrdom) that facilitates freedom for themselves and is a freedom cry to millions of parents and
perpetrators!
23rd September 2000.
Patricia. Our Lord referred to the theory of Limbo:
Jesus. Why rely on the theory when you can
rely on the doctrine to disprove the theory - God's Love? (And calling all those involved in this sin
to repentance.)
Patricia. Our Lord repeated what He said on 16th
September 2000.
Jesus. You are making original sin
paramount. You constantly keep repeating
original sin, original sin - what about original love? Does it come to nothing before the original
sin of innocent babes?
Jesus. Raise them up! Their witness points to the ordinary means. [The Sacraments, for those who have killed the children and for the
whole world]. Their witness is an
extraordinary witness (martyrdom) that facilitates freedom for themselves [Patricia. Through the Blood of Jesus] and a
freedom cry to millions of parents and perpetrators! Come and be reconciled - salvation is at
hand! [….]
20th
November 2000(ii).
Patricia. Regarding the eternal fate of aborted
children, the question of limbo seems to some to be an obstacle to the Church
claiming the children, Our Lord described it as:
Jesus. The limbo limp! (Limping along for centuries, a theory
instead of a development of doctrine)
6th
August 2001. Nazareth House.
Patricia. Father was reading out from a message given
by Our Lord on the 27th January 1998 as follows:
Patricia.
Our Lord referred to the article on ‘Limbo’ I was reading in
Caxton’s Catholic Encyclopaedia, USA, 1910. It said:
R.
‘…..the great majority of Catholic theologians have continued to
maintain the general doctrine that the children’s limbo is a state of perfect
natural happiness, just the same as it would have been if God had not established
the present supernatural order.’
Patricia.
Our Lord replied:
Jesus. But
I have established it! What about
supernatural happiness?
Continued some
time later:
Jesus. You are closing the door to Heaven before I
Myself have shut it!
Jesus. Like those who do not want the Church to
claim the children!
Patricia. Our Lord then added, referring to the deeper
understanding of Revelation given through the message of Divine Innocence:
Jesus. Can you see how grace works - if the
question is not asked, the answer is not given!
‘Ask
and you will receive’ (Jn 16:24).
Patricia. Lord, where are the children killed before
birth?
Jesus. In heaven and I have shown you doctrinally
how in this message of Love!
3rd December
2001. Feast of St. John Damascene
Patricia. I thought of man’s
inadequate theory of limbo, Our Lord said:
Jesus. Limbo speaks of
inequality – all men are created equal!
Patricia. Lord, we look around us and see so much
inequality, how can I say to the Church that all men are created equal?
Jesus. All men are created
equal in relation to God not to man. You
cannot put the blame of your inhumanity to man on your God, although many do
so! I provide, you divide – unequally! It is not logical that the children are not
saved. Why would your God allow millions
of persons to be created to feed the insatiable appetite of the devil for human
sacrifice?
Patricia. Then why are the
millions of children killed, Lord?
Jesus. I ask the same
question of you. Man has freewill but I
do not condone his disobedience – ‘where sin abounds grace abounds all the
more’. Evil does not defeat me, it
defeats you! Humanity suffers at the
hands of your own inhumanity.
There
are natural laws that operate in holiness or evil actions – causes and effects. You carry out the murder of little innocent
children – you become murderers!
Motherhood becomes wounded, fatherhood is dishonoured. A child never sees the light of day, you
never see the unique smile of that little one or enjoy the child’s individual
talents and beauty. God bestows the
exquisite beauty of the gift of an innocent child, man disposes of that child
by abortion – torn from the womb limb by limb.
Then parents, medical men, governments and legislators have the audacity
to say the child in the womb is not a human person and proceed to use the
child’s remains in human experiments!
You allow yourselves to be duped by the devil and his illogical lies and
then convince yourselves that this pack of lies is the truth!
Humanity
is locked in a deep winter of sin. I
send to you waves of innocent children to remind you of the spring time of your
race, the dawn of innocence, but you continue to kill your future. Truly you need to cry out “Oh Divine
Innocence be triumphant in our crucified innocence and the innocence that we
have crucified in our children”. Will
all your evil defeat Me, the God of all that is seen and unseen? The Victory over all sin and evil I won on
the Cross! I gather up what you throw
away! I restore to them a hundredfold
what you have stolen from them! I return
to them what I bestowed yet more abundantly and that for your sakes, so you
receive the grace of their martyrdom.
You act like wild beasts – even eating the flesh of innocent children
and using their human remains for medical experiments, cosmetics etc. Have you no compassion? Look at yourselves covered with innocent
blood! I gather up your children in
love. Can you not even bring yourselves to repent, ask for forgiveness and
amend your lives?
I
ask the churchmen – can you not take the trouble to study MY ANSWER to the
holocaust of abortion and proclaim the martyr status of the children
slaughtered before birth? You seem to
care nothing for the children and even less for those who have killed them and
are in mortal danger of the loss of their souls.
You
have carried out such evil. I have
offered such love, mercy, justice, and reconciliation! Will you wait until the skies rain down
justice and the earth revolts against you.
Shepherds and people, come to your senses!
Patricia. Lord, many individuals will respond when
they hear this message but they will also feel helpless because so many will
not even listen or change and the evil goes on.
Jesus. Then that remnant
will be saved and the stubborn rebels will perish! Believe Me when I say, the suffering of the
children DOES NOT terminate in Limbo, that mythical place of man’s making, but
in the glorious Resurrection that I AM! I
have ‘suffered the little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom
of heaven’. Churchmen, proclaim the
martyr status of the children unjustly put to death before birth and give them
birth in the Church! Then, draw upon the
merits of their martyrdom freely given.
Freely give this grace to a world steeped in sin for its recovery and
consolation!
Jesus. You cannot continue
to say the Mass if you do not claim the children, because omitting to claim the
children is contrary to the faith you proclaim!
Look at every part of the Mass!
My Sacrifice does not exclude the children!
Patricia. Lord, if you love the
children why did you not save them from abortion?
Jesus. I have saved them
from abortion but the shepherds will not give the people this humanitarian aid
(i.e. by failing to claim the children.)!
(Patricia. Our Lord was making a parallel with the present situation in
Afghanistan in which humanitarian aid is being withheld from the people because
of problems of distribution by violent men not allowing this aid to get through
to the suffering people or by demanding payment for it.)
30th September
2001(iii).
Patricia. Our Lord referred to those priests and people
who refuse to look at this message and are indifferent about the fate of
children killed before birth, instead responding to the question with the words
“Leave them to the Mercy of God”:
Jesus. Tell My shepherds
that I lead My flock, they should do the same – NOT leave them to the Mercy of
God! That is not good enough! What shepherd, when the sheep are roaming
over the whole countryside in rain, sleet and storms, says to his family,
“Leave them to the Mercy of God”? His
family will feel afraid even for themselves let alone for the flock!
Father Philippe Jobert’s theology on the Claiming:
I. Limbo - No.
The theory of limbo ‘limps’ because it relies upon divine Justice only, and not upon Justice and Mercy together. God is at the same time Justice and Mercy: so there is never divine Justice without Mercy.
Ps
88:15: ‘Justice and equity are the foundation
of thy throne,
Mercy and faithfulness stand
in front of thy face.’
St.
Augustine, in his polemics against Pelagianism,
insisted on the absolute necessity of sanctifying grace through baptism to
obtain eternal life. These polemics
arose from the custom of baptising children.
As children have not committed actual sins, what is removed by baptism
is original sin. Thus, unbaptised children who die with original sin, cannot
receive eternal life. St. Augustine
thought that they were excluded from salvation.
The Council of Carthage (418) followed this position which can be found
also in the Councils of Lyons (1274) and Florence (1439).
However,
many theologians thought that children could not be condemned to hell, because
they did not commit any mortal sin. As
they could not be admitted into heaven, the theologians imagined a third place,
limbo, where they would be deprived of the beatific vision, but not punished
otherwise. So they would enjoy some
natural happiness.
This
opinion was considered traditional enough to be sustained by the Bull “Auctorem fidei” which condemned
the pseudo Council of Pistoia. Against the Jansenists,
who followed the strict opinion of St. Augustine, Pius VI declared (1794) that
limbo must be admitted as a place where those who die with original sin only,
are deprived of the beatific vision, without any punishment by fire.
This
position is common among theologians, and is considered as a teaching of the
Church, because nothing about the fate of children who die unbaptised
is explicitly revealed in the Word of God.
However,
the concept of limbo is founded upon two negative concepts: no heaven, no
hell. It is possible to found a concept
upon a reality, but not a reality upon a concept and all the more so upon
negative concepts: so limbo has no more reality than a purely intellectual
conception. What’s more, the reasoning,
which leads to the existence of limbo, is a result of human logic. However, divine mysteries are not connected to
each other by human logic, but by divine Logic.
Because ‘God is love’ (1Jn 4:9), we know that the divine Logic is the
Logic of Love.
-
Inasmuch as divine Love is Charity, God wants the salvation of all men,
loving them as Himself, and so He offers sanctifying grace to all those who are
not opposed to His love: unborn children are unable to resist. [His love]
-
Inasmuch as divine Love is Justice, God is just to His Christ who
poured out His Blood for all sinners to be saved, and to atone for all sins:
thus the original sin of unborn children is washed away in His Blood.
-
Inasmuch as divine Love is Mercy, Christ is Divine Mercy made flesh to
take upon Himself all human miseries and to communicate His plenitude of grace
to all who believe in Him and receive His baptism. What Christ Resurrected operates in His
believers through the Sacraments, He operates also in those who die before they
are able to believe and to receive the Sacraments. At the moment of their natural death, Christ
appears to them in His glorious human nature, as the vanquisher over death for
all men through His Resurrection: spontaneously they adhere to Him through
their natural desire for life, and Christ gives them eternal life. Their death paid the debt of their original
sin and Christ’s Mercy made them sons of the Resurrection (Lk
20:36) through His grace, elevating their natural desire.
Such
is the Logic of divine Love, which is transcendent. It is out of reach to human reason, but the
Holy Spirit, who alone knows it, reveals its conclusions through the gift of
wisdom to those who become His instruments through a complete abnegation of
their proper wisdom and a perfect submission to Divine Wisdom.
There
is an analogy with the Holy Eucharist: just as in this Sacrament the risen body
of Christ is a food of divine life, so also when Christ Resurrected appears to
dying children, He is to their desire a food of divine life, for He said: “I am
the resurrection and the life” (Jn 11:25).
In
the case of children who are killed in abortion, there is a previous action of
Christ’s Mercy for them: He unites them to His own Martyrdom, as witnesses for
the Gospel of Life. They are martyrs in
Him and are consequently glorified in Him.
In comparison with the Mass, they are united to Christ’s Sacrifice at
the moment of Consecration, whereas other children, victims of miscarriage, are
united to Christ’s glory at the moment of communion to His glorious Body; the
former are intercessors for the latter.
II. Objections to the claiming of children
killed before birth as martyrs. (April 2004)
When St. Thomas Aquinas studies a question, first he meets objections, but he does not answer the objections immediately. Previously he gives the answer to the question; and often this answer cuts objections at the root because they are false, they are destroyed by truth. At the end, St. Thomas refutes objections, only if they comprise something, which is not already refuted by his answer to the question.
In the case of Limbo; theologians have established this notion, not from Revelation, but from reasoning; which was based on the necessity of baptism, and on the freedom of assent to faith, exclusively. Having no use of freewill, no possibility of being baptised, the children who die in the womb of their mother, cannot receive grace and go to heaven. Having not committed any actual sin and being deprived of grace only by original sin, they are not condemned to hell. Limbo is not heaven nor hell; only a negative concept, not a reality.
If we explain that children killed before birth are martyrs in Christ, because Christ exercises His own martyrdom in them, out of His Mercy and Justice, all objections are destroyed; because these objections are formulated as though Christ is not living anymore, as though His sacrifice is not eternalised by His Divine Act of Being and present to the children, as though His Mercy forgets these children and is not powerful enough to save them etc…
When a member of the clergy objected, preferring Limbo, which was taught to him in the seminary, I explained to him the role of Christ in the martyrdom of the children, and he could not give any answer.
Thus, most of the time, we must first explain the truth, which by itself excludes objections. Afterwards, sometimes it may be useful to add a refutation on a particular point. If we begin to take account of objections, we settle on the adversaries’ ground and we are in a position of weakness, prisoners of their thought. On the contrary, we must draw them into our position through an explanation of the truth, which they cannot object to.
1. Children killed before birth are martyrs, because they are killed as living sons or daughters (filiation), and as such they are images of the Son; Divine Filiation is present in them (through their parents) as the principle of their natural filiation. Christ Crucified is a martyr in them, because He is the Son of God and Son of man, attacked in His Divine Filiation in them, by abortion. Christ’s martyrdom is eternalised by His Divine Act of Being, and is present to every aborted child to exercise His witness to His Divine Filiation (Lk 22:70) in them, and He associates them to His witness through the gift of faith which justifies, acting in their intelligence and in their natural will, to order them by grace to God, as sons of God.
2. Children who die before birth (before baptism) are virgins, because they are innocent, having not committed any actual sin. The Holy Spirit, who is Divine Virginity is present as the Paraclete in their innocent natural will to order it to good. Through their innocent death, they are conformed to Christ’s innocent death. The Child Jesus, whose Childhood is eternalised by His Divine Act of Being, and who died on the Cross for their salvation when they were pre-existent in Him, is also Risen and glorified with the Father in heaven*, seeing them and loving them as His images of innocent dying Childhood, as virgins. With His Father in their Divine Nuptiality, He sends their Divine Virginity to make of them in Him sons of God who cry out “Abba, Father” (Rom 8:15)
*Rom 6:10. “By dying, He is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life He lives is life with God”
Thus children killed before birth are martyrs under the influence of Divine Filiation, and naturally aborted children (miscarriage) are saved under the influence of Divine Virginity.
