§4: The period in purgatory is difficult and painful
§1
- «The Catholic religion is the central point of every action, every decision and every consequence.
- The Catholic religion is the key to every organization, religious or secular.
- Catholic behavior brings order and good order to everything.
The faithful who are upright, good and competent will have a coherent life overall.
He who disassociates himself from all virtue and uses situations to his own advantage may be rich, but his family and friends will not be devoted to him. When the setbacks come that cannot be avoided, his friends and loved ones may also be in short supply.
Religion is a guarantee both for conduct on earth and for your heavenly future, but if this guarantee fails on earth, as it did in the case of Job in the Old Testament, the guarantee of his heavenly future will never fail.
The Heavenly future is the only important future.
All others, those of earth, are reversible and passing. Only the Celestial future is important.
§2
When a man dies, he is judged for his earthly life. There’s no way around it!
When a man dies, the only acceptable alternative is for him to appear before the Divine Tribunal with love and piety.
Any other attitude would be harmful:
- If he is vengeful, the demons will take hold of him.
- If he shows off or argues, the demons will get hold of him.
- If he’s a liar, the demons will get hold of him.
- If he’s evasive or even a phony, the demons will get hold of him.
He has only the alternative of loving and rejoicing to see at last the God he has prayed to, before whom he has repented, who is his Father by predilection.
This is how I judge My creatures: with love, with justice, with righteousness and with knowledge.
- Yes, I know everything, down to the smallest details, about the being who comes before Me, whether he is happy or afraid or hateful or blasphemous.
- Yes, particular judgment is sometimes unexpected.
Some men look down to Me, but demons seize them even before I’ve judged them.
Others are venomous or snarling, and these too are intercepted by the demons even before I judge them.
Others, on presenting themselves at the Judgment, are horrified to see their faults, and they condemn themselves to eternal flames because they see no other way out.

All these damned souls are certain of their faults, they know them, but sometimes they do not want to acknowledge them.
It is all the same. I do not try to make them confess what they do not want to admit to themselves; their denial immediately condemns them.
When I receive these already damned souls in My Courtroom, they know it too and do not seek acquittal.
§3
The essence of particular judgment is the fact of standing before God, who is purity, righteousness and beauty par excellence, and telling the truth or remaining silent. No lies are ever told in this special or tragic moment.
Some souls are dragged straight into hell because the demons are waiting for them, and neither angel nor God can stop them.
So it was that I Myself, at the moment of My last breath on the Cross, enveloped in the stench of the sins for which I had offered Myself as a sacrifice, was practically snatched up by a multitude of demons.
They were waiting for Me and did not want to miss Me.
As I have already recounted, it was by the Authority of My luminous Soul that, casting off all those stains and wounds that debased Me, I extricated Myself from their clutches and their violent, monopolizing assaults.
Of all the souls assaulted as soon as they breathed their last, I was the only one to free Myself from them, unaided and by My Authority alone.
It is to this rage and violence that guilty and proud souls are delivered.
They are thus torn from their sentence and carried off to hell without the possibility of justifying themselves.
But there is no longer time to justify oneself, that time is closed; one must admit reality and, if such a state is still possible, satisfy one’s sins and be purified.
§4
Souls in purgatory are saved, in the sense that they have the assurance of entering Heaven when God judges and when they themselves find themselves worthy, for particular judgment implies the assent of the guilty but repentant soul.
It will spend in purgatory the time necessary for its satisfaction and purification, and this time for many is a time of privation, penance and regeneration. It’s like a hospital patient who spends some time in rehabilitation or intensive care, and this time is longed for to heal and to see God and loved ones again.
The period in purgatory is difficult and painful, because the souls there do not know each other, do not associate with each other, and are not anxious to show themselves in their unpleasant state.
Darkness envelops a large part of this place of healing and, when souls find themselves in a fiery part of this space, the flames are not necessarily illuminating.
Souls suffer where they have sinned: if they have been greedy, fasting will be their punishment; if they have been aggressive, they will have to practice gentleness; if they were hot-tempered, they will have to endure constraining situations, and so on… until all these situations disappear because they no longer need to manifest themselves, the soul having healed itself of all its restraints.
Paradise will then be their place of sanctification and happiness, and their ascent to Heaven assured».
