Mary: “News will shock humanity, coming from the Church of My Divine Son”

- CERVANTES

In 1967, a nun (identified as Sister N.) started to be visited by her sister who had died elsewhere only a few days before. The exact date was July 30, 1967 when the interactio­n between Sister N. and the soul commenced, all put on record by the nun in obedience to her father confessor.

What Sister N. learned from the soul was a precious treasure of informatio­n about life after earthly death, enough to snuff out fear of death and bolster confidence in and hope for life everlastin­g.

And, yes, to fortify our faith and perseveran­ce in the prophesied chastiseme­nts to befall us all in our times.

Sister N.’s manuscript yielded a booklet titled From Heaven, a Message of Joy in Suffering. It was hailed as truthful and edifying by respected Catholic clergy and was presented to a grateful Pope Paul VI who is now a saint. Expectedly, the publicatio­n, which came out in 1974, was readily stamped with Imprimatur from Archbishop Pacifico Perentoni of Lanciano and Bishop of Ortona in Italy and Nihil Obstat from Fr. Constatinu­s Koser OFM.

I am sharing excerpts from the conversati­ons between Sister N. and the soul as published in the booklet.. Let me start from Aug. 15, 1967 when the soul announced she had just entered Heaven (from Pur gat or y) .

Soul: “I have entered Heaven just this moment with our Queen and the whole joyful court of angels and archangels. With me also were father and mother and a deceased friend. I am prostated at the feet of the Holy Trinity, engulfed in an ocean of delights! I am in Heaven for eternity my dear, can you imagine? Oh what a place the Lord has prepared for those who love Him…

“We all shine with eternal youth… .

“The sufferings and pains of earth have passed. My tears have become gems on my dress! And you write of the Mercy of God with words of fire and proclaim it to the world. Human eye has not seen and ear has not heard what the Lord has prepared for His chosen ones. Write, write, otherwise you will forget.

“What I am telling you is true. It is true, very true, as it is true that today is Aug. 15, 1967. Whatever I told you so far is true. You have its proof. Believe now what I am telling you. OUt from earthly life, what counts for Heaven are our pains and our tears.”

Sister N. then asked the souls how it was during her last hour on earth.

Soul: “I told you so many times, I had my guardian angel beside me and the Virgin Mary who had often come to dry my tears… .I have a beautiful place in Heaven. The delights are spread under our feet.”

Sister N. then asked about her purgatory.

Soul: “My purgatory, as I told you, was a pre-purgatory, that is, a purgatory of desire which I myself wished to bear and was of short duration… .”

Sister N: “Tell me why now am I no longer moved to tears during prayer, while before, I was?”

Soul:” It is not the tears of our eyes which please the Lord but the fire of our hearts. That is. love. Jesus takes everything into account: our sufferings, our pains, our tears, temptation­s that were overcome with an act of resignatio­n and trust in Him, and He rewards all with great glory… .”

On Sept. 3, 1967, the soul said: “If all the men of earth
