Some notes:
The woman condemned to hell, speaks briefly to her friend, Claire:
For us (in hell), everything is a torment. Everything we come to understand at death, every recollection of life and of what we know, becomes a burning flame.
Are you listening? Here we drink hatred as if it were water. We all hate one another.
More than anything else, we hate God.
Although I hate the devil, I like him because he and his helpers, the angels that fell with him at the beginning of time, strive to cause the loss of the people on earth. In truth, I would like to see you here, where I will remain forever. There are myriad demons. Uncountable numbers of them wander through the world, like a swarm of flies, without their presence even being suspected.
God takes everything much more seriously than any priest does.
Only one thing would have been able to bring me to my senses: a profound and prolonged suffering. But this suffering never came. Do you now understand that “Whom God loves, God chastises”?
Above all, I always scoffed at the fire of Hell.
The fire of which the Bible speaks is not the torment of conscience. Fire means fire. One must understand Our Lord’s declaration in its literal sense: “Depart from Me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire.” Literally!
Being spiritually enchained, we reprobates gaze in terror at our misspent lives, howling and gnashing our teeth, tormented and filled with hatred.
Claire, while Hell might be poorly drawn, it can never be exaggerated.
(end of message from hell)
That afternoon in the garden, I encountered a kindly, nearsighted lady from Budapest...
She added kindly: “Let nothing distress you — you know the advice of Saint Teresa — let nothing alarm you. Everything passes. He who possesses God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.”
