A nun in purgatory revealed to another nun in the 1880's. "It is not, however, on All Souls Day that most go to Heaven. It is on Christmas Night. On Christmas night, thousands of souls leave their place of expiation for Heaven..." In the writings of St. Margaret Mary we find the following exhortation: "In union with the divine Heart of Jesus make a short pilgrimage to Purgatory at night. Offer Him all your activities of the day and ask Him to apply His merits to the suffering souls. At the same time implore them to obtain for you the grace to live and die in the love and friendship of this divine Heart. May He never find in you resistance to His holy will, or any wish to thwart His designs in your regard. Fortunate will you be, if you succeed in obtaining deliverance for some of these imprisoned souls, for you will gain as many friends in heaven." O you my Christian friends who read these lines, priests, religious or devout lay people, help to spread this devotion. It is so simple, and requires little effort; moreover, you will be rewarded for it. "On awakening this morning, on the Sunday of the Good Shepherd," wrote St. Margaret Mary two hundred years ago, "two of my suffering friends came to take leave of me; today the Good Shepherd received them into His eternal home. They left with untold joy and happiness. When I asked them to remember me, they replied, "Ingratitude has never entered heaven." Article submitted by Susan Tassone. |
