St.

Faustina (Polish Nun) taken on a tour of Hell in 1936


. Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those
senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the command of God, so
that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has
ever been there, and so no one can say what it is like. I, Sister Faustina, by the
order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it
and testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have received a
command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were full of hatred for me,
but they had to obey me at the command of God. What I have written is but a
pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls
there, are those who disbelieved that there is a hell.

Josefa Spanish Nun, shown the Pits of hell and suffering souls..
Satan, therefore, chooses saints and consecrated souls whom he longs to besmirch,
seduce, and dishonor, and flings himself on them. Above all, he abhors victim-souls, so
Josefa was particularly hateful to him.

"I saw many worldly people fall into Hell, and no words can render their horrible
and terrifying cries: 'Damned forever... I deceived myself; I am lost... I am here
forever... There is no remedy possible... a curse on me...'

"Some accused people, others circumstances, and all execrated the occasions of
their damnation." (September 1922).

"Today, I saw a vast number of people fall into the fiery pit . . . they seemed to be
worldlings and a demon cried vociferously: 'The world is ripe for me . . . I know that the
best way to get hold of souls is to rouse their desire for enjoyment . . . Put me first . . .
me before the rest . . . no humility for me! but let me enjoy myself . . . This sort of thing
assures victory to me . . . and they tumble headlong into hell.' " (October 4, 1923)

"I heard a demon, from whom a soul had escaped, forced to confess his
powerlessness. 'Confound it all... how do so many manage to escape me? They
were mine' (and he rattled off their sins)... 'I work hard enough, yet they slip
through my fingers... Someone must be suffering and repairing for them.'"
(January 15, 1923). ("Repairing," that is, "making reparation" for them).

"Then Hell re-echoed with frenzied cries, and when finally the devil cast me out of
the abyss, he went on threatening me. Among other things he said: 'Is it possible
that such weaklings have more power than I, who am mighty... I must conceal my
presence, work in the dark; any corner will do from which to tempt them... close
to an ear.. in the leaves of a book... under a bed... some pay no attention to me,
but I shall talk and talk... and by dint of suggestion, something will remain.. Yes, I
must hide in unsuspected places.'" (February 7, 8, 1923).

What shall it prophet man if he gains the whole World, and loses his soul?
