We Must Pray for the Forgotten Souls in Purgatory

Each time the angel takes me to see Souls, he takes me to a different place. The place can be anywhere, and it is always full of Holy Souls begging me to help them. It is never-ending.

Today, I met many souls who were butchers during their life on earth. They were all standing in one very long line, extending for a few hundred metres. All were dressed the same, wearing short white jackets. Each one of them was cutting meat with a large meat cleaver. I was watching them as they were continuously repeating this same action over and over again.

As we approached the souls and came up very close to them, I asked them, “Why are you still working and cutting meat as a butcher?”

They answered in unison, “Because we cheated on the scales and we overcharged people, and now we are punished and have to do a very heavy penance, attributed to not being honest while we were on earth. Lady, please help us and get us out of here.”

I said to them, “It doesn’t pay to be greedy. See how you have to suffer now!”

The angel who was standing beside me spoke in a serious tone, he said to me, “Humanity never learns while they live on earth. They cheat the poor, and they lie. They don’t realise that God sees everything. When they come before God, He judges severely and justly.”

Lord have mercy on these poor souls. When I attend Holy Mass, I will offer them to our Lord.

As we finished visiting these souls, the angel reminded me about the two Bee Gee brothers whom I visited in Purgatory not long ago. He said, “I have to remind you that you have neglected the Bee Gee brothers. You started, and then you stopped. They are waiting for you to help them. You must continue to help them until they are lifted to our Lord.”

The angel then took me to another place to visit more poor souls. Suddenly I found myself standing in front of a group of about two hundred souls. They were sitting in three tiered rows, similar to seating in a sports arena, very tightly packed, shoulder to shoulder, unable to move as if glued to their seats. All were poorly dressed, wearing dark brown, raggedy looking clothing, looking very much like beggars.

The angel said to me, “Please help them and offer them at the High Mass to our Lord Jesus because nobody prays for them. They were all musicians. While they were on earth, they were performing for the public. Among them is Jimi Hendrix, the finest guitarist. Please help them, if not, they can stay here for a thousand years, forgotten. People on earth only like to listen to their songs and music, but nobody remembers them in prayer. They are completely forgotten.”

Jimi Hendrix stood up when he heard his name mentioned by the angel. He stood briefly, without speaking and then sat down. In whichever way these souls were committing sin, while living on earth, they must now do penance and suffer in a similar way.

Lord Jesus, have mercy on all musicians. I offer them to You, grant them pardon and mercy soon so that they can rejoice with You in Heaven.

Visitation from Three Souls

During my morning prayers of the last three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the angel appeared to me, and each time he said, “Valentina, a very important person will come to visit you. Prepare yourself.”

I thought maybe a Priest would come to see me. I said to the angel, “Well, the only important person is Jesus Christ.”

This morning, during my prayers, suddenly I received a visitation of three souls. As they came up very close to me, I immediately recognised one of them. I do not know who the other two were.

I said, “Oh, Peter Ustinov, the movie actor!” He seemed annoyed and very burdened by the load that he was carrying.

He exclaimed to me, “Gosh lady, you live so far away! Do you know how long it took us to come to you? And do you know that we had to carry this burden with us? And how heavy it is?”

I could see that each of the three souls was carrying a bundle of what looked like a large, scrunched up, plastic canvas. Peter Ustinov and the grey-haired gentleman next to him were each carrying a military-coloured canvas. The third, younger man with brown hair, who was standing behind them, was carrying a deep green canvas. I understood that the military-coloured canvas, that is, a combination of yellow, green and brown, represents a different kind of sin as compared to the colour green, which represents a deeper state of sin.

All of a sudden, they dropped their heavy loads in front of me, and in a deeply annoyed tone of voice, Peter said, “Here lady, now it’s up to you to do what you are going to do to help us.”

I was astonished at their attitude, demanding that I help them. I thought, ‘But who asked you to come?’

I felt like they were blaming me for their life and their suffering, that it is my fault.

When they finished talking and telling me some things, they just vanished and left their loads behind. By leaving them behind it was a form of security so that I would help them.

I prayed, “May our Lord give you peace in the other world.”

I thought to myself, ‘Well, look at that. Now the souls were ordering me around and telling me what to do!’

Their attitude amused me that I said to our Lord, “Lord, so much for the important person, I thought you are the important person.”

Our Lord said, “But he was important on earth.”

I said, “Lord, he hated Catholics in the movie Quo Vadis, he burnt down Rome. He was feeding Christians to the lions.”

Our Lord was laughing. He said, “Valentina, that was only a play, it wasn’t in reality.”

I offered up the Holy Rosary for these three souls and later, offered them up at Holy Mass.

Lord have mercy on all three of them.

Ordination to the Priesthood – St. Patricks Cathedral, Parramatta

In the morning while I was praying our Lord Jesus appeared to me and said, “I would like you today, to attend the High Mass for the Ordination of Priests, which is the highest Mass that you can attend.”

“I want you to offer Me, everyone, that you can think of so that they can benefit from the High Mass.”

I obeyed our Lord, and in the evening I attended this very special High Mass for the ordination of four priests.

I arrived early to the Church and watched how people were very restless, trying to secure seats and reserve seats for other people. One pew had about ten handbags so that no-one else could sit there.

Our Lord said, “Valentina, these people, surely they do not know what they are doing. The selfishness in them is uncontrollable, they try to possess everything and secure their seats for themselves and their friends, at all costs. But I tell you it will not be like that in Heaven. They will have to be happy and grateful for whatever place they get. There will be no reservation in Heaven for their family and friends. Each one will be in a different part depending on what they deserve. They have to accept whatever is given to them.”

Even in Holy Scripture where our Lord was preaching, a woman came up to our Lord and asked Him can her son sit at His Right Hand:

“What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father” (Matthew 20:21-23, Douay Rheims Bible).

Holy Mass then started. During the distribution of Holy Communion, I was lead by our Lord to receive Communion from the hands of Archbishop Anthony Fisher. As I returned to the pew, I kneeled and thanked the Lord.

Our Lord said to me, “Now you have completed the mission that I have asked of you. By attending the Most High Mass of the Ordination to the Priesthood, and by offering Me everyone that I had asked you to offer Me, and receiving My Body from the holy hands of Bishop Anthony, you accomplished the mission that I asked of you.”

“You have no idea how much good fruits that you will produce, and I thank you for your obedience, to fulfill My Will.”

Our Lord was so joyful while He was telling me all of this.

First Saturday Prayer Group

Today I attended my prayer group.

We offered up the three Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries, for the intentions of our Blessed Mother.

During the prayers, our Blessed Mother appeared looking quite sad.

She said, “Thank you, my children, for your offerings for my intentions. What you offer to me, I offer for the coldness of all humanity in the world. Humanity is so cold that they reject God completely. He is rejected in every part of the world now. As the Christmas festivities are fast approaching, looking at humanity, all they think of is materialism. It is all about how they are going to enjoy themselves, what they are going to buy, what they are going to eat and drink and about having a good time.”

“They hardly think of my Divine Son, Who came to the world to save humanity and Who came for the salvation of their souls.”

“Even less, do they think about how much my Son suffered, during the Crucifixion. To save humanity, out of His Love, He did all of that because, my children, He wants to save all of you. But in return, He receives coldness, rebellion, and rejection from humanity.”

“Offer your sacrifices and prayers for the coldness of humanity in the world today.”

Blessed Mother was very sad while she was telling me all of this. I could see how her Immaculate Heart was suffering.

Special Gifts installed on newly Ordained Priests

This morning while I was praying, I was offering up people for today’s Holy Mass when all of a sudden I was surrounded by many souls.

They were begging me, “Valentina, please, please offer us to our Lord.”

They were begging me to take them to Church and offer them to our Lord today.

When I arrived at the Church for Holy Mass, there was another group of holy souls surrounding me. There was about twenty of them.

One of the souls, a woman, said to me, “Valentina, we are from this church. Nobody ever remembers to offer us up to our Lord or to pray for us. Please don’t exclude us. Please help us and offer us up to the Lord and ask Him to be merciful to us. He will listen to you.”

The souls were very polite. I did what they asked of me and offered them to our Lord. The souls then vanished. Even though I could not see them anymore, I still sensed their presence in the church.

Today I attended Holy Mass for the first Sunday of Advent, and I included the four newly ordained Priests in my prayers and offerings to the Lord.

As I made my offering, our Lord Jesus answered me immediately. He said, “Each one received a special gift from Me at the Ordination. The gift installed on them, I hope that they use it wisely.”

Our Lord did not say what kind of gifts they received, but I think they were beautiful, holy Gifts they will use to help people.

Our Lord said, “Pray for them as there is so much temptation in the world, especially around priests.”

I felt in my heart that one of the newly ordained priests received the gift of healing by praying over people.

I thank you, Lord, for all your special graces and blessings and gifts that You bestow upon people.

Millions of Souls waiting to enter the Gates of Heaven

As we now come close to the month of November, which is dedicated to the Holy Souls, it is also a time when I experience much deeper and more severe physical suffering all over my body.

This morning I was in so much pain, but I still persevered with my morning prayers and petitions. Then our Lord Jesus appeared and said, “Come with Me! I will show you for whom you have been suffering.”

We suddenly found ourselves in a place where there were so many souls. I was amazed. It was enormous. It felt like the whole world was there. I could see millions and millions of souls. I have never seen anything like this before. There was a mixture of people, including many children of school age.

I asked, “Lord, how many people are here? It looks like the whole world is here.”

Our Lord smiled and said, “See Valentina! I want to show you all of this. Coming into November, they are all waiting to be redeemed and waiting to go to Heaven.”

With curiosity I asked, “Lord, can all these souls see You?”

He said, “They can see Me, but they think I am one of them.”

Then our Lord came up closer and gently whispered, “I disguise Myself so they can’t recognise Me.”

“Oh!” I said, “I see,” still a little puzzled. Lord Jesus was dressed in conventional clothing, in trousers and a shirt, with a trimmed beard and short brown hair, so of course they could not recognise Him.

He Said, “Valentina, for all your offerings for these souls that I am showing you, just think of all the good fruits that you produce when you suffer with pain on your body. Nothing is wasted. You save so many of them and they are delivered through your pain.”

Then He came up really close to me and said, ‘Valentina! Do you know that I am your brother?”

I said, Oh yes! Looking at Him a little confused I was thinking to myself; I have a brother Tony and a brother Alojs, and I have another brother who is My Lord.

He said, “I love you.” Then He kissed me on the cheek.

In gratitude to our Lord, I kissed Him back on His cheek.

I really felt that He is my Brother.

I felt such an intimate appreciation of what He just said.

I said, “Lord, You are my Brother, but You are more than that, You are my Lord and my God, and I appreciate You and love You so much.”

He said, “Don’t forget what I have shown you. Take all these people that I show you today to church.”

“Offer them to me during the Mass, so that I can sanctify them, and take them home to Heaven. They are all waiting for that!”

Never before, have I seen so many souls in one place. It felt like the whole world was there.

While we were looking at all the Holy Souls He said, “Don’t worry! No one can harm you or do anything to you. These souls are all purified and ready to go to Heaven. They need one final blessing and one final Sacrifice of the Holy Mass for the Gates of Heaven to be opened for them.”

Our Lord Jesus loves each individual person, so deeply and so intimately. When He embraces you in His Holy presence, you really know and feel that you belong entirely to Him. He loves you so deeply that you think you are the only person in the world, but this is for every person that He loves and that He embraces.

Amongst the multitude of souls that were present, I recognised quite a few souls there, whom I knew while they were alive on earth.

Some of them told me, “We are all waiting here for the Holy Mass to be offered.”

Lord I thank you for all the Graces and explanations. Have Mercy on us and on all the Holy Souls.

Feast of the Assumption

This morning while I was saying my prayers, Blessed Mother appeared. She invited me to come with her to visit Holy Souls in Purgatory.

As we arrived, I could see that we must have come to a higher level of Purgatory. The souls at this level were walking around and were very happy upon seeing our Blessed Mother.

Blessed Mother said to me, “My daughter, today, is a special day. It is the Feast of My Assumption. I was taken to Heaven, both body and soul. All of Heaven and Purgatory are rejoicing. Today, I want you to witness, with me, when I take a lot of souls to Heaven. Many will be taken to Heaven today, but not all of them.”

“Why I brought you here with me is so that you can see how many souls will be released to Heaven. You contributed to their release with your physical pain and sufferings, and all your offerings and prayers.”

Our Blessed Mother was so joyful, and when she finished telling me all this, the souls in front of me suddenly all disappeared.

In astonishment, I asked our Blessed Mother, “Where are they all gone?”

She said, “The angels took them to their Heavenly home to rejoice in Eternity. But, do not stop praying. Not all of them have gone to Heaven. They remain back because they still need to be purified.”

Blessed Mother and I were standing together. It was very peaceful and joyful. I said, “Blessed Mother, my mother, you shouldn’t be here today, on such a big feast day, your Assumption. You should be rejoicing in Heaven.”

She hugged me and said, “Yes, I know, but the Souls need me too. I always come to console them and to give them courage so that they can persevere in their pain and suffering. I tell them that they will soon go to Heaven and this makes them very happy. They can hardly wait.”

The angel then suddenly appeared, and he took me home. He said to me, “Now that you will be going to Holy Mass, offer all that you experienced and all that was shown to you by the Queen, Mother of God.”

Just as the angel had asked me to do, I offered all to our Lord Jesus Christ, to the Foot of the Altar so that He will sanctify them all.

The pain I suffered that night and day continued right through to the following day. I said to Blessed Mother, “Blessed Mother, you came, and you went, but the pain remains with me.”

She said, “Bear it with love for others as there are so many remaining in Purgatory. Also, many are dying daily, unprepared and unrepentant.”

Thank you, Blessed Mother, for sharing this with us so that other people may pray as well.

The Poor Souls and Purgatory Resources – MaryRefugeOfHolyLove

/ a soul

COMMENT (by a soul):
I had wanted to do this blog post at the beginning of November, but with the drama of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and urgency of the heavenly messages around that time, this task was neglected by me…

But, no more. The poor souls need our help and so, I am posting some resources for followers of the blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, to learn more about Purgatory and to help the poor souls make it finally home.

Firstly, only in November, if you pray the Flame of Love Hail Mary, 10 poor souls are released to Heaven. Imagine if you did an entire Rosary! Here is the special prayer and a link to find out more information on this blog:

“Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee, blessed are Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

More Information: Flame of Love Hail Mary
https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-seal-of-the-living-god/the-hail-mary-prayer-the-flame-of-love/

Next, according to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that the following prayer, when piously recited, would release 1,000 souls from their suffering in Purgatory:

“Eternal Father,
I offer You the most precious blood
of thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal Church,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.”

Next, I have been a member of the lay association, Friends of the Suffering Souls (FOSS), for 14 years. The only obligation of members is to arrange one Holy Mass each year for their perpetual 100 daily Masses for the poor souls. Periodically, they email newsletters about Purgatory and miracle stories of members in the association. I suggest everyone join and you can also join other people (living and deceased) so they can receive spiritual benefit of the perpetual Masses, too.

Friends of the Suffering Souls (FOSS)

Next, if you have any deceased souls who need the benefit of Masses, you can enroll them for free into the Purgatory Project, which is an online Registry of the Dead. Sometimes, I will enroll deceased souls I read about in the daily news, so they can be taken care of. Here is the website:

Purgatory Project – Holy Souls – Online Registry of the Dead
http://www.holysouls.com/enter.htm

Next, although there are many fine organizations, whenever I need to arrange Masses, especial 30 Gregorian Latin Masses, for deceased souls, I use this Franciscan missionary organization, Seraphic Mass Association. They also do individual Masses and Novena of Masses.

Seraphic Mass Association
https://www.seraphicmass.org/index.asp

Next, if you would like to read some heavenly messages about Purgatory, Holy Love Ministry (http://www.holylove.org), has two books–one in English and another in Spanish, that are free to read online, save for offline, and to print out. Here are the links to the PDFs:

Holy Love – Purgatory (English) (68 pages)
http://www.holylove.org/files/med_1306456651.pdf

Holy Love – Purgatory (Spanish) (64 pages)
http://www.holylove.org/files/ts_1190863273.pdf

Next, Direction For Our Times (http://www.directionforourtimes.com), has a short 24-page online PDF booklet called, “Heaven Speaks To Those Who Fear Purgatory”. It contains heavenly messages from various Saints.  I also recommend people purchase chosen soul, Anne’s book, Mist of Mercy, which has many spiritual insights into the state of Purgatory, based on Anne’s visits there.

Booklet: “Heaven Speaks To Those Who Fear Purgatory”
http://directionforourtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HS-Fear-Purg-Body.pdf

Next, if you would like to read online for free a good short book on Purgatory, here is a link to a classic book on the subject. It is called, “Read Me or Rue It”, by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan, and includes many heavenly messages that give insights into the state of poor souls.

“Read Me or Rue It” by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan
http://www.theworkofgod.org/Library/Purgatry/Readme.htm

Finally, here is a short article called, “The Secret of the Poor Souls in Purgatory”. It is an interview with the now-deceased Austrian mystic, Maria Simma, who suffered for and had many encounters with the poor souls. It provides a lot of information on the subject.

Celebration of Poor Souls in Purgatory – Special Prayer for November

/ a soul

In celebration of our special brothers and sisters in purgatory, I want to share a bit about an organization that I belong to, as well as give more information about a special prayer that we should all recite during the month of November for them.  God bless the poor souls!

Firstly, FOSS (Friends of the Suffering Souls), is based in Australia.  There are no membership dues, but every member has the obligation to organize a Holy Mass for the suffering souls in purgatory once a year (usually, it will be your birthday).  The current goal of FOSS is to have 200 Holy Masses celebrated each day, in a perpetual novena, for the poor souls in purgatory.  FOSS came about from several lay people who devoted themselves to organizing a 100-day novena for the poor souls, inspired by the novena and Marian apparition that took place at Knock, Ireland, in the 19th century.

If you would like more information on FOSS and how to become a member, to share in their spiritual fruits, please visit this website: http://www.knocknovena.com/

And secondly, there is a special prayer that each of us should take the time to recite as much as possible during the month of November on behalf of the poor souls in purgatory.  In a Church-approved apparition, in the 1960s, the Blessed Mother appeared to Hungarian mystic, Elizabeth Kindelmann, and asked that some additional words be adapted to the traditional “Hail Mary” prayer.  As a promise, the Blessed Mother told Elizabeth that for every Hail Mary prayer that is said this way, Her “Flame of Love” will blind satan in these End Times, and also would release ten (10) poor souls from purgatory into Heaven during the month of November.  As a bit of perspective, if one were to say 50 “Flame of Love” Hail Mary prayers as part of one set of Mysteries for the Holy Rosary, those prayers would release over 500 poor souls from purgatory(!).  Here is the special Hail Mary prayer:

“Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee, blessed are Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

For more information, please see this page on this blog: http://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-seal-of-the-living-god/the-hail-mary-prayer-the-flame-of-love/

A very rare Super Moon and Lunar Eclipse will take place on September 27th, Feast Day of St. Vincent de Paul, Patron Saint of the Apostolate of the Green Scapular. Jesus has promised that on that feast day that any Apostles of the Green Scapular who had died over the past year would be taken from Purgatory and enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Holy Mass will be offered for all Apostles around the world on this holy day.
