In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt
never sin. (Ecclesiastus 7:40)
Sister
Lucia of Fatima Describes the Vision of Hell
Our Lady said it was necessary for such people to pray
the Rosary in order to obtain these graces during the year. And she continued:
‘Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you
make some sacrifice: O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, for the conversion of
sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart
of Mary.’ “
As Our Lady spoke these last words, she opened her
hands once more, as she had done during the two previous months. The rays of light
seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in
this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers,
all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now
raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together
with great clouds of smoke now falling back on every side like sparks in huge
fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and
despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. (It must have been
this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they heard me). The demons
could be distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful
and unknown animals, black and transparent like burning coals.
“Terrified and as if to plead for succor, we looked up
at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where
the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the
world devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls
will be saved and there will be peace.
