Particular judgment, general judgment, God's foreknowledge and free will
score:2
To the question:
could the result of my particular judgement change at general judgment, because not all consequences of my deeds are available at the point of my particular judgment?
We must answer "No" as you infer from Benedictus Deus, which leads to your final question:
How do you reconcile the judgment at particular judgment, which implies absolute foreknowledge of God with respect to the consequences of my actions, with the free will of the person?
The foreknowledge of God intrinsically does not impact free-will.
God is eternal (Summa I Q10 A2), time being a creation of His, and ever moment of time is observed simultaneously by God (Summa I Q10 A1). Boethius in Book V of the Consolation of Philosophy elaborates on this "If you should wish to consider [God's] foreknowledge... you will more rightly judge it to be not foreknowledge as it were of the future but knowledge of a never-passing instant." He then indicates we speak not of "prevision" but "providence" because God from afar looks upon all things "as though from the highest peak of the world" (VI). Thus foreknowledge imposes no necessity upon action. Our choices are known by God and so He does know the effect as well, but He didn't cause us to chose any particular outcome.
If we had no free-will, punishment and reward would be meaningless as well.
