Should they fancy themselves exonerated from further efforts in a contrary direction by the mere utterance of useless lamentations whilst, at the same time, they behold the tide of evil gaining fresh strength as it sweeps along bearing with it innumerable souls to ruin? Can too much be done to stem the torrent, to avert the danger before it is too late?<br />May we not, also, whilst offering an antidote to the deadly effects of so much of our current literature, supply the spiritual wants, and gratify the varied tastes of many souls hungering for fresh and more suitable nourishment?<br />As every bad book tends to mislead the mind and corrupt the heart of its reader; so every good book is a cherished companion, a faithful teacher, whose lessons are often more telling on the interior life than the most eloquent sermons.<br />Should we be called upon to lament the spiritual ruin of so many of our young people, had they not imbibed principles of infidelity and licentiousness from the pages of those miserable publications whose only aim is to depict vice in its most vivid colors, and to spread it broadcast throughout the land? Earnest Catholic parents, good Catholic schools, zealous priests, are indeed rich blessings for our Catholic youth; but let some dangerous book fall into a child's hand, and the efforts of parents, teachers, and priests will soon be frustrated.<br />I found nothing that contains contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, either as to dogma or morals, on the testimony of Gloria Polo, yet have been the source of encouragement for many.<br />For skeptics and critics, no amount of truth or evidence would convince them, until it's too late. St. Paul have been shown mercy. I pray God would be merciful at you.<br />I recommend reading “City of God” from the revelation of St. Mary of Agreda, also the life of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Marie-Julie Jahenny.

I glanced and saw this book on the shelf about William Blake - this prompted me later in my room to start googling religious things like 'Blessed Mary' and I ended up on this particular website. Randomly.<br /><br />I truly believe God has brought me here deliberately. This is not a coincidence. What's most striking about this story is how God turns an argument around - Gloria thinks she's done something right by just interpreting the commandment on the surface, when actually it's much easier for us to go wrong.<br /><br />I'm really going to have a harder look at my life now.

In the short version it seemed that those who had committed suicide were in Purgatory, though a lower level of it. I'll have to compare the two stories. Thanks for the heads-up on what to keep my eye out for. One version was translated from a Radio Maria interview while the other was translated from one of her talks. Whether the inconsistencies stem from Gloria Polo or from those who translated her words, I don't know, but I'm going to research it a bit more.<br /><br />Thank you!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-57398112893461983752012-06-22T18:44:29.535-04:002012-06-22T18:44:29.535-04:00Without re-reading it, (been super busy), of what ...Without re-reading it, (been super busy), of what I can remember, there were a couple things that stood out that I felt uneasy about. One, how she mainly saw suicide victims in hell. The Church teaches that there can be hope for someone who commits suicide & you have to take in account a person's mental state. I also felt uneasy about the way she describes aborted babies being ripped out of the hands of God. Not sure what she meant by this but the Church believes they are innocent victims that we can entrust to the mercy of God. She also mentioned Limbo which the Church no longer teaches. Anyway, hope that helps.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236075271180653598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-41367991687956338792012-06-21T11:31:28.587-04:002012-06-21T11:31:28.587-04:00Lisa,

The problem is that I am unsure about what gets lost in the translation and what may be from human error. This is always an area of concern with private revelations but I decided to post it after a lot of prayer because in discerning it there is definitely that mark of humility that seems to come with truth. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting on this - I will read the longer version again and think about this. Were there particular parts that made you uneasy?

I guess there are different levels according to most who've seen it. I've never read as clear an experience as Gloria Polo's though. One of the reasons I think her experience is of God is because of this mark of humility which led her to share what happened in detail in order to help others despite the fact that she knew her sins would be shared with the whole world.

There are two books out about children who visited heaven but there were no judgments involved. One is "Heaven is For Real" (Colton Burpo?) and the other is about a boy named Kevin called "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven". They were both interesting I have to say. <br /><br />Why aren't there more stories about positive judgments? My guess is because they don't come back. I know my dad wanted to "go home" - it took everything within him to "stay". Of course, he was never judged. <br /><br />Now I'm curious and am going to search for such a thing. My mom read a book many years ago (she thought, in the seventies?) about a doctor who "died" but she can't remember the name of the book. I searched for it before but never found it.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-6168199598594823202012-06-15T15:33:23.450-04:002012-06-15T15:33:23.450-04:00Patricia,

Souls are fast asleep and God is pouring out grace everywhere calling His children out of the slavery of sin and into the freedom of His Kingdom. We can live in slavery to "ole slewfoot" (as my mom calls him) or live in freedom as the children of God. Which reminds me of the 1st reading today at Mass.<br /><br />We didn't follow God's original plan, did we? Goes to show the greatness of God's mercy. Everything we do or say has an impact on others. Scary thought, huh? But love has a ripple effect too and today's Feast Day is a perfect reminder of that love.<br /><br />God bless!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-89420358314299415372012-06-15T14:35:36.523-04:002012-06-15T14:35:36.523-04:00I am right there with you Karinann...actually, got...I am right there with you Karinann...actually, got half way through it and since it's so long, will read the rest today.

Your father was given the choice or staying or going, but he hadn't died yet and wasn't subjected to judgment. I suppose that means he passed (since God is unlikely to say, "HAH! Caught you out! You were supposed to say no!") but I was wondering if anyone out there has a picture of what judgment goes like when all is well and the soul's trajectory was good.Jane Lebakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851954297667846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-64747048857000602882012-06-15T12:33:23.078-04:002012-06-15T12:33:23.078-04:00Mary, I tried to leave a comment last night, but t...Mary, I tried to leave a comment last night, but the "publish" box wouldn't show up!

I will not soon forget this, and definitely have a lot to ponder. Thank you so much for sharing. I will pass it on to others.<br /><br />BTW, the final judgment at the end of the world is when God will reveal to all mankind exactly what effect their lives, for both good and bad, had on His plan for creation. We will comprehend the impact of all of our own deeds and omissions, as well as those of others. Can you imagine seeing God's Original Plan for our world compared to what we all turned it into?!!

As a matter of fact...I wanted to go right after I read this. <br /><br />Okay, if I'm being honest, the part that struck me was her commenting on her children and family. Can I do more as a mother and wife? Can I be more loving? The answer is that I know there's room for improvement in these areas. It's not that I don't have sins of commission...because I do, but it's the sins of omission that seem to trouble me in this area. God calls us to be loving as He is.<br /><br />Yes, your comment on Confession makes sense to me. There are tremendous graces in this Sacrament.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.com
