What Killers and Sinners Suffer--repentant vs not

I attended a movie where there are $6.50 specials. In the middle of the movie, the lights of the projector went out though the sound kept playing. As we went to the manager, we were told the projector bulb would need four hours to replace and thus we should just get a refund; vouchers for a regular ($9) showing. As we were getting them after showing our movie tickets, another couple asked for a refund though he had thrown his ticket already. The manager said, he sold only seven tickets and he had accounted for all of them already. It was his very polite way of saying something very telling: they didn't pay for their tickets and snuck in.

On the way back to the car, I told my husband, no wonder we were not able to watch the movie, someone was cheating and trying to watch it for free--this on top of the great discount that day.

I had no regrets. It was another alien movie that just was devoid of any spiritual value (from the first half-hour anyway) and my husband was content to get the vouchers.

Early that day in a doctors' office, I was reading from the Time issue about President-elect Trump, that the years he was divorcing his wife and formalizing his mistress (she who confronted the former--like the non-ticket holder who had the gall to ask for a refund), his businesses serially went into bankruptcy. If this was not the hand of God...

I found myself seeing the crime and life stories pure moral stories that could open up the eyes on those who do not have a spiritually inclined radar.
In the latest follow-up of Pedro Hernandez on trial for killing Etan Patz, his daughter testified that she grew up with him being overly paranoid for their safety, that he would tell her "the world is made up of bad people", that she would hear from him tales of an angelic woman in white and demons who are harrassing him. Detectives in the case recall how Pedro would admit to seeing black figures darting around him. He had admitted to strangling Etan thirty-plus years ago and had been so bothered by his crime that he confessed it, also to a prayer meeting that thought he would ultimately just bring himself to a police. Yet his lawyers are casting him as a schizotypal personality with no proper bearing on reality and fantasy, who may really have only thought of himself killing Etan. This is despite the fact he has admitted this himself many years back, in his own words, and has asked to see his wife and child to tell them this admission, for he knew he would be in jail for many years.

To one who has the eyes of faith, or simply knows the effects of guilt, this is not out of place, for the consequences of one who has done something grieviously wrong and had not received healing, for he seemed to have been prevented from making the right admission (or at least achieving the consequences of it, i.e. jail or getting the right intervention i.e spiritual counseling, forgiveness, healing. To be besieged and oppressed by such spirits is simply from the fact that wrong was committed and perhaps not fully repented of (only through the Catholic Church can that happen in the Sacrament of Reconciliation) that but there is Mary still standing to defend him and save him for where his soul has already been reserved to go (in fact this is where all our souls would have gone had not Jesus come to save us). To commit a sin as grievious as a killing and not repent, and in fact, pretend all is well, is a mark of psychopaths. They have put themselves on television, admitting their innocence when beyond reasonable doubt they have done the deed. In Pedro Hernandez case, he has admitted to the killing, please give him the priestly counsel he deserves and whether he gets off jail or not, whether he will get tormented for years by the dark spirits, it will not be forever. For God who has come for sinners, like the good thief, will welcome everyone who is repentant.
