Hell Is Real My Friends

HellPainting of Hell by Salvador Dali
Quick story: The original hangs at the Blue Army Shrine in Washington, NJ. My family and I visited there a couple of years ago. The kids in the family walked over to see this painting. Later some of the older kids came running to tell us that my 6 year old nephew, who shall remain nameless, actually touched the painting and said "that Hell isn't scary"!
Let me tell you folks, the real one is beyond scary. We want to do everything in our power to avoid Purgatory, let alone Hell.
When my sister was taking a class at Seton Hall University, she had a professor, a priest, tell her class that there was no hell. Out of all the students in the class, my sister was the only one who challenged him.

To all of you non-believers: Common sense would dictate erring on the side of caution, right? Why take a chance like that?

Ma Beck has two posts up on the subject of hell.


"As Our Lady spoke, she opened her lovely hands, disclosing beneath a sea of fire; and plunged in this fire were the demons and the souls, as if they were red-hot coals, transparent and black or bronze colored; with human forms, which floated about in the conflagration, borne by the flames which issued from it with great clouds of smoke, falling on all sides as sparks fall in great conflagrations -- without weight or equilibrium, among shrieks and groans of sorrow and despair which horrify and cause to shudder with fear.
The devils were distinguished by horrible and loathsome forms of animals frightful and unknown, but transparent like black coals that have turned red-hot.

"Here you see Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go," she said at length. "To save them God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If they do what I will tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace."
