Reports from those who have returned include tunnels through which the soul flies at speeds unknown on earth. Lights are brighter than any here. Colors are vibrant and living. Colors that have never been seen are visible to the soul who has left the body.
Family and friends who have died come to greet the newly dead. Many times, souls are sent back because it’s not their time. Others are given the choice to return to their bodies or not. Visions of a “being of light” are often reported. Many identify this being as Jesus, Love personified.
Life reviews, with the full knowledge of how one’s actions on earth affected ourselves and others, take place in front of Eternal Love. Great sorrow or joy can be felt by the soul as the consequences of our actions are seen and felt. All is truth, but truth with great love.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that when we die our souls are separated from our bodies and we stand in judgment by God. We are then sent to Heaven, hell or purgatory.
Yes, Heaven is real.
Yes, hell is real.
Yes, Purgatory is real.
Heaven or hell. This is what we choose when we live. God is Love, but the choices we make will affect our life after death. The gift of free will is given to us by Our Loving God. We either choose God or not. Sin is grave, but with true repentance God will forgive even the most vile sinner.
Since only the purified, the unblemished, can enter heaven, most need to spend time in Purgatory to cleanse the soul. All will be known, and all will be truth. As painful as it will be to know that we are not ready to be with God, we will also know that God awaits us with open, loving arms. Our sins have consequences for us, and Purgatory is a place to purify our souls before we join the Great I AM in heaven. How great and painful is the longing for God by the soul in Purgatory! What a blessing from our loving God!
Once in Purgatory, the deceased cannot pray for themselves. It is our duty, as members of our Church, to pray for all of our beloved, and not so beloved dead, that their time in Purgatory may be lessened. How grateful are the souls who are released through our prayers! When in heaven they become our intercessors! They will come to greet us when we enter the Kingdom of God! It is our duty to pray each day for these beloved souls of God! How grateful is our Heavenly King when we do so.
The St. Gertrude prayer is said to release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time that it is recited.
Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious blood of your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with all of the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
Sadly, beyond a divide through which no soul can cross, is hell. Hell is eternal torment from which there is no escape. Hell never ceases. Once condemned to hell, the soul cannot leave. The torment and pain continue through eternity. Hell exists where God’s love cannot. Hell is a choice. The consequence of unrepentant sinner is hell.
Our Lady, in all of her apparitions, asks us to pray for souls to be saved. She gave this prayer to us at Fatima. She has asked us to pray frequently so that more souls will come to God and be saved.
Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy.
This is the prayer recited between decades of the Rosary. You will save souls, and these souls will love you for this gift! We never know whom we will help to save. The souls you save might be those people whom you love.
Heaven is a choice. God. Love. Eternal joy. The Hope of all Mankind.
Pray.
“But it is as written: What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians: 9
Pray for the dead daily.
Pray for those you love and for those whom you don't love.
Pray for sinners daily.
We are all sinners.
Pray that all souls will enter into the joy of eternal life.
Jesus tells us,
"My grace is sufficient unto you."
Pray that those who reject His Graces and Love will be converted and souls will be saved.
Pray!
Pray!
Pray!
