Death
and Resurrection of Gloria Polo
By
Richard Salbato and Gloria Polo
Last
week 38 branches of the Catholic Church did the first thing in the history of
the United States, the they sued the Federal Government in Superior Court for
violation of Church, State relations. That impressed me, but what surprised me
is that Fox News had 42 hours of news on this great subject and all the rest of
the news had 18 minutes in 10 days.
The
first thing I though is why would anyone watch news that picks and chooses what
news they want to present on the air? Then I thought who would watch news that
picks what news you can watch? This is the biggest story in the history of the
United States Constitution and not one Television News Outlet except Fox
thought it news worthy.
What
about you? Are you open to all knowledge or only what makes you feel good
and/or agrees what you want to think about yourself or what is right and wrong.
I think 75% of Catholics pick and choose what laws of God they will obey and
not obey. In fact some priest will pick what sins they will talk about or not.
For
this reason I decided to re-publish the true story of a woman who died and
stood at the gates of Hell seeing how the perfect Catholic life she thought she
led earned her Hell. Only by the prayers of a poor homeless man that she never
met, she was saved to tell the story of her condemnation.
Gloria Polo’s Return From The Gates - Colombia, South America
Interview of Dr. Gloria Polo by Radio Maria (Colombia)
Numbered comments by Richard Salbato at end of testimony:
1.
Brothers and sisters! It’s beautiful for
me to be with you
sharing this precious gift my Lord gave me more than ten years ago. (This was
at the National University of Colombia in Bogot). I was attending graduate school, along with my
nephew, who was also a dentist. My husband was with us that day. We had to pick
up some books at the
2. We were charred. My nephew died there.
He was a young
man who, despite his young age, had given himself over to the Lord and was very
devout to the Infant Jesus. He always carried the Infant Jesus’ image inside a
quartz crystal next to his chest. According to the coroner, lightning entered
him through the image, ran through his heart, burned him on the inside and
exited through his foot. But on the outside, he was not charred or burnt.
3.
In my case, instead, lightning came in this way and burned my body in a
horrifying way, on the inside and outside. This body you see here, this
reconstructed body, is through the mercy of our Lord. Lightning charred me,
left me without breasts, practically made my whole flesh and ribs vanish. My
stomach, my legs; lightning went out my right foot, my liver was charred, my
kidneys were burned, just like my lungs.
4. I did family planning using the copper-T intrauterine device. Therefore copper, an excellent electrical conductor, charred me, it pulverized my ovaries. I was left in cardiac arrest, lifeless, my body jumping from the electricity that remained in it. But look: that’s the physical part.
5.
The most beautiful part is that while my flesh was
there charred, at that instant I found myself inside a beautiful white tunnel
full of joy and peace, a happiness for which there are no human words that can
describe the grandeur of the moment. The climax of the moment was immense. I
was happy and joyful, nothing weighed me down inside
that tunnel. At the end of that tunnel I saw like a sun, a most beautiful
light. I call it white to name a color because no color on earth is comparable
with that most beautiful light. I felt the source of all that love, all that
peace.
6.
As I was going up I realized I had died. At that instant I thought about
my kids and I said ‘Oh, my God, my kids! What will they say? This very busy mom never
had time for them!’ That’s when I saw my
life truthfully and I became sad. I left home to transform the world, and I couldn’t handle my kids and my home.
7. And in that instant of emptiness for my children, I looked and saw something beautiful: my flesh was not in this time or space. I saw everybody in a single instant, at the same time, both the living and the dead. I embraced my great-grandparents and my parents, who had passed away. I hugged everyone; it was a full and beautiful moment. That”s when I realized I had been cheated into believing in reincarnation, which I even defended. I used to see my grandfather and my great-grandfather everywhere. But they hugged me here, I met with them in an instant, we embraced and I embraced all the people I had anything to do with in my life, everywhere, at the same instant.
8. When I hugged my daughter,
she got scared. She was nine years old. She felt my embrace. No time had gone
by during that moment, so beautiful, out of my flesh. I didn’t see in the same way I did before, where I only noticed who was fat,
thin, dark-skinned, or ugly, always with prejudice. Now, out of my flesh, I would see people on the inside. How
beautiful it is to see people on the inside. I would see their thoughts, their
feelings. I embraced them in an instant and, still, I kept rising and rising,
full of joy. At that point I felt that I was going to enjoy a beautiful sight,
an extraordinarily beautiful lake.
9.
At that moment, I heard my husband’s
voice. My husband was crying and with a deep cry, with deep feeling, he called out to me
and said “Gloria, please don”t go! Gloria, come back! The kids, Gloria, don”t give up! In that instant I took a big glance and I saw not only him, but I
saw him crying in deep pain. And the Lord allowed me to come back,
although I didn”t
want to. What a joy, how much peace, how much happiness!
10.
Then, I started descending slowly to find my body, where I found myself
lifeless. My body was on a gurney at the medical center on campus. I saw how
the doctors gave me electric shocks to pull me out of cardiac arrest. We lied
there for two and a half hours. They couldn”t pick us up because our bodies were still conducting
electricity. When that finally stopped they were able to assist us and they
started resuscitation. I set my feet here, on this part of my head, and I felt
a spark that pulled me in violently. I went back into my body. It was very
painful to go back because sparks came out everywhere. And I saw me fit into
such a small thing. My flesh hurt,
it was bured. It hurt
a lot. Smoke and vapor came out of it.
11.
And the most horrible pain was that of my vanity. I was a woman of the
world, an executive woman; an intellectual, a student, enslaved by my body,
beauty, and fashion. I would work out four hours each day. I would slave to
have a beautiful body: massage therapies, diets, well, everything you can
imagine, that was my life; an enslaving routine for the sake of a beautiful
body. And I would say if I have beautiful
breasts, I might as well show them off. No point in hiding them! The same was true for my
legs, because I thought I had great legs and breasts. But in an instant, I saw
with horror how I had spent my life taking care of my body. That was the center
of my life: my love toward my body. But now, there was no body and no breasts;
just some horrible holes. In particular my left breast had practically
vanished. My legs were the worst: empty gaps with no flesh, completely charred
and blackened. From there, we were transported to a hospital, where they quickly
moved me to the operating room and began scraping all my burned tissue.
12.
When I was under anesthesia, I came out
of my body again. I saw what the surgeons were doing to my body. I was
worried for my legs. All of a sudden I went through a moment of horror. I had
been a dieting Catholic all my life.
My relationship with the Lord was down to Sunday Eucharist, no longer than 25 minutes, wherever
the priest s homily was shortest, because
I could not stand anything longer. That was my relationship with the Lord. All the trends
of the world tossed me like a windsock. In fact, when I was already in graduate
school, I once heard a priest say that hell did not exist and neither did demons. That was the only thing
that had kept
me in the Church. When I was told the devil did not exist, I just thought we were all going to heaven regardless of
who we were. That distanced me completely from the Lord. My conversations
became bad, because sin was not contained inside of me. I started telling
everyone that demons did not exist, that they had been
invented by the priests, that they were manipulations. Hanging out with college
friends I started to say that God did not exist and that we were the sole product of
evolution.
13.
But back to that instant in the operating room, I was really terrified! I saw
demons coming for me and I was their pay. At that moment I saw many people
coming out of the walls of the operating room. At first sight they looked
normal, but with a look of hatred on their faces, a horrible look. At that
point through some special insight given to me, I realized I owed each one of
them. I realized sin was not for free and that the main infamy and lie of the
devil was to state that he did not exist.
I saw how they
were coming for me. You can imagine how scared I was. This scientific and
intellectual mind was of no avail to me. I bounced off the floor, into my body,
trying to come into it again, but my body would not let me in. I ran away and I am not sure when I went through the wall in the operating room. I was
hoping to hide
in some hallway in the hospital but I ended up jumping into thin air.
14.
I went into some tunnels heading
downward. At first, they had light and looked like bee hives. There were
lots of people. But I started descending and light became scarce and I started
roaming some tunnels in pitch darkness. That darkness has no comparison. The
darkest darkness on earth is like noontime sunlight compared to it. That
darkness causes pain, horror, and shame. And it smells very bad. I finished
descending down those tunnels and landed desperately on a flat spot. I used to
claim I had an iron will, that nothing was too much for me. But that was
useless now, because I wanted to climb up and I could not. At that point I saw a huge mouth opening
up on the floor and I felt immense emptiness in my body, a bottomless abyss.
The most horrifying thing about that hole was that not even a bit of God s love was felt in it, not a drop of hope. The hole
sucked me in
and I felt terrified.
15.
I knew that if I went in there, my soul would die. In the midst of that horror,
as I was being pulled in, I was grabbed by my feet. My body was inside that
hole, but my feet were being pulled from the top. It was a very painful and
horrifying moment. My atheism fell to the wayside. I started clamoring for the
souls in purgatory to help me out of there. As I was shouting I felt intense
pain because I realized that thousands and thousands of people are there,
mostly young people. Very painfully, I heard the gnashing of teeth, horrible
screams and moans that shook me to the core. It took me several years to
assimilate this because I would cry every time that I remembered their
suffering. I realized that is where people who commit suicide in an instant of desperation end, finding themselves
surrounded by those horrors. But the most terrible torment there is the absence
of God. God could not be felt there.
16. In the midst of all that pain, I started screaming - who made this mistake? I am practically a saint! I have never stolen, I have never killed, I gave food to the poor, I gave free dental treatments to those who could not afford them. What am I doing here? I went to Mass on Sundays, I always went even though I considered myself an atheist. I did not miss more than five Sundays my entire life. I always went to Mass, what am I doing here? I am a Catholic, please, I am a Catholic, take me out of here!
17. While I was screaming about
being a Catholic I saw a tiny light. I need to tell you that any light in that
darkness is the best gift anyone can get. I saw some stairs over that hole and
I saw my Dad, who had died five years before, next to the hole, lit by a faint
light, and four steps higher I saw my Mom, with plenty more light and in a
prayerful posture.
18.
When I saw them I was very happy. I started yelling -daddy,
mommy, please take me out of here, I beg you, take me out of here! - When they lowered their eyes, and my dad
saw me there, you should have seen the immense pain they felt. In that place,
you feel people s feelings, you can see pain. My dad started
crying, holding his head with his two hands and shaking my daughter, my daughter! My
mom was praying and I noticed they could not take me out and that my pain was
compounded noticing they were sharing that pain with me there.
18.
So I started screaming again, please, take me out of here, I am a
Catholic! Who made this
mistake? Please, take me out of here! As I was shouting this
second time, a voice was heard, a sweet voice, a voice that makes my soul shake
when I hear it. Everything was inundated with love and peace and all those
creatures ran away in horror because they do not stand love or peace. And there was peace for me when that precious voice called out to me:
All right, if you are a Catholic, tell me the commandments of God s law.
19.
What a failed attempt! I knew there were ten, but nothing beyond that. What was
I going to do? My mom always talked to me about the first commandment of love. Finally it paid off. Finally
my mom s chatter became useful. I had
to repeat mom s chatter here. I thought I could wing this one so the
others would
not show too much. I thought I could
handle things here the way I used to on earth, always with a perfect excuse,
always justifying and defending myself so no one would notice
what I did not know. But this was the
real thing, so I started to say
Love God above all and your
neighbor as yourself.
Very well, I heard, have you loved them?
And
I said I have, I have, I
have!
When I heard No! for an answer, that s when
I really felt
the shock of lightning run through me even though I had not noticed where the bolt had hit me.
20. No, you haven t loved your Lord above all things, and much less your
neighbor as yourself! You made a god
that you adjusted to your life only when in moments of desperate need! You
would prostrate yourself before him when you were poor, when your family was
humble, when you wanted to go to college! Back then you prayed on a daily basis
and you would prostrate long periods of time, whole hours, begging of your
Lord, praying and asking him to pull you out of poverty and allow you to get a
degree and become someone. Whenever you were in need and wanted money, you
would say a rosary. Lord, please send me some money! That was your relationship
with your Lord!
21.
I had an ATM relationship with the Lord, I have to admit. I grabbed the
rosary, and expected money in return, that was my relationship with him. I was
shown how, as soon as I got my degree and made a name for myself, the Lord
became too small for me and I started thinking myself better. Not even the
smallest expression of love with my Lord. Being thankful?
Never! Not even while opening my eyes in the morning,
never a thank you, Lord, for this new day
you have given
me, thanks for my health, for the life of my children, because I have a roof
over my head, I pity those with no roof over their heads or food to eat! Nothing! Very ungrateful!
22. And besides, you placed your Lord so low that even Mercury and Venus you
entrusted more with your luck. You were blindsided by astrology, claiming the
stars ran your life! You started walking in all the doctrines of the world. You
started to believe that you would die and would start again! And you
forgot grace! You forgot that you had been ransomed by your Lord s blood!
23.
They gave me a test on the Ten Commandments. They showed me that I claimed I
adored and loved God with my words, but in reality, I adored Satan. A woman
would come to my dentist s office to
offer her services as a sorcerer and I would say I
don t believe in that, but put those charms right there, just in case, for good luck. I had set in a corner, where patients did not know, a
horseshoe and a cactus plant, supposedly to scare away bad energies.
24.
How shameful all of this was! They made an analysis of all my life based on the
Ten Commandments. They showed me who I had been with my fellowman. They showed
me how I would tell God I loved him when I wasn t far from him yet, when I wasn t involved yet in atheism, but with the same tongue with which I blessed the
Lord, I would lash out against all of mankind. I used to criticize everyone. I used to point a finger at everyone,
the ever-saintly Gloria. And they showed me how I was full of envy and always
ungrateful. I never recognized all my parents love
and selfless effort, to see me through college, to raise me. As soon as I got a
college degree, even they became too little for me. I even felt ashamed of my
mom, because of her simplicity, humility, and poverty.
25.
And they showed me as wife. Who was I? I would complain day in and day out,
from the break of day. My husband would say good morning and I would respond what do you mean good? Look,
it s raining outside! I would complain about my children too. They showed
me that I never
had love or compassion for my fellowmen, for my brothers and sisters out there.
And the Lord told me you never had any
consideration for the sick, never kept them company in their loneliness. Never once
compassionate for children without a mother, for all those suffering children. I had a heart of stone. In a nutshell, I did not get half an answer right on my Ten Commandments test.
26. It was terrible, devastating. I was in total chaos. Surely they could not blame me for having killed anyone?
27. For example, I bought
groceries for many people in need, but I did not do it out of love but rather to look good, because it was cool for everyone to see
how good I was and it was great to manipulate people in need.
28.
I would tell them take these groceries, but please take my place at the parent-teacher conference because I do not have time to attend. And that s how I would give people things but
I would manipulate them. Besides, I liked being followed by a lot of people singing my praises.
I made an image for myself.
29. I was told you had a god, and that god was money! You have been condemned because of money! Because of it you have sunk into the abyss and you
distanced yourself from your Lord.
31.
When they talked to me about the Second Commandment, I saw full of
sadness that, as a little girl, I learned that lies were excellent ways of
avoiding my mom s severe punishments. I
started walking with the father of lies (Satan) and I became a liar. As my sins grew, my lies also grew.
I noticed my mom s respect for the Lord
and how his name was Holy to her, so I took that as a weapon and I started swearing
in vain. I would say Mom, I swear to God, and that bs
how I would avoid punishments. Imagine my lies, placing the Most Holy name of the
Lord in my rottenness, because at that point I was full of dirt and sin.
And
look, brothers and sisters, I learned that words do not go away empty. When my
mom was giving me a hard time I would say, Mom,
if I am lying to you, let a lightning bolt strike
me! And although the words faded in time, it is
through the mercy of God that I am here,
because in reality lightning hit me, practically cutting me in half and burning me.
They
would show me how I, who called myself a Catholic, never kept my word and would
always use the Lord s Holy Name in vain.
32.
It shocked me how the Lord passed by and all those horrible creatures would
throw themselves on the ground in adoration. I saw the Blessed Virgin Mary
prostrated at the Lord s feet, praying for me in supplication, while I, a sinner deep in
filth, kept my exchange with the Lord going. I thought myself so righteous!
Complaining and cursing against the Lord.
33.
On keeping holy the Lord s day, it was horrible and I felt intense pain; the
voice would tell me how I would dedicate four or five hours to my body every
day, but not even ten minutes of deep love to my Lord in thanksgiving or a
simple prayer. I would start the rosary very quickly and I would say to myself I can finish the rosary while the commercials are on
for my soap
opera. They showed me how I was never
grateful toward
the Lord. They also showed me what I used to say when I did not feel like going to
34.
On the sacraments, I had nothing. I
used to say that I would never go to confession with those old men who were far
worse than me. I did it because it was very comfortable for me to do so in the
midst of my filth. The evil one drove me away from confession and that is how
he took away cleanliness and healing from my soul, because every time I sinned,
there was a price to pay: within the white purity of my soul, Satan would place
his blemish, a blemish of darkness. Never,
with the exception of my first communion, did I make a good confession.
From that point on, I received my Lord unworthily. The lack of coherence of my
life reached such a stage that I would blaspheme and challenge Why blessed sacrament? Can you imagine God being alive in a piece of
bread? Priests should put some caramel spread on that wafer to make it tasty! That s how low my relationship with God fell.
35.
I never fed my soul, but to make matters worse, I would criticize priests
constantly. You should have seen what a hard time I had on that one! Ever since
we were little, I remember criticism against priests being present in my
family. My dad used to say that those guys were womanizers and much better off
than we were. And we would repeat that. And my Lord told me:
36. Who did you think you were making yourself God and judging my anointed?
They are human, and the holiness of a priest is built by his community, that
prays, loves, and supports him. When a priest sins his community is questioned,
not him.
The Lord showed me that each time I criticized priests, the demons would get
attached to me. Besides that, at some point I accused a priest of homosexuality
and the whole community found out. You ca not imagine how much harm I
did.
37.
On the fourth commandment, honor thy
Father and thy Mother, as I already told you the Lord showed me how
ungrateful I was to them. I would curse against and complain about them because
they could not give me everything my friends had. I never appreciated anything
they did for me, to the point of saying I did not know my Mom because I thought she was not up to my standards. It was horrible
to see the summary of a woman with no God and how that Godless woman can
destroy anything coming close to her. But the worse part was that I thought
of myself as good and saintly. The Lord also showed me how I thought I
could do well on this commandment simply because I paid for my parents doctors bills and medicines when they became ill, but that since I
analyzed everything from the vantage point of money I would manipulate them
when I had money. I took advantage even of them, money made me feel god and I
stepped all over them. Do you know what really hurt? Seeing my dad crying
sadly, because even though he was a good father who had taught me to be
hardworking, entrepreneurial, and honest, he forgot a small but important
detail: that I had a soul and that he was an evangelizer with his witness, and
that therefore, my whole life started to sink as a result of this.
38.
I would look upon my dad with hurt when he was a womanizer. He enjoyed telling
my mom and everyone, for that matter, that he was a real man because he had
several women and he could keep up with all of them. Besides, he was a smoker
and a drinker. Those vices made him feel proud because he thought them virtues,
not vices. I started to see how my mom would cover her face in tears when my
dad started talking about other women. I became full of anger and resentment.
That resentment led me to my spiritual death. I saw with terrible anger how my
dad humiliated my mom in front of everyone. I rebelled and I told my mom I
would never be like her. That s why us women are worthless, because of women like you, with no dignity and no pride
who let men trample all over them! And
when I grew up, I told my dad Mind you, I ll never,
ever, let a
man humiliate me in the same way you humiliate my mom. If a man is ever
unfaithful to me, I ll repay him! He hit me and challenged me Don t even think about it! My dad
was very chauvinistic. I told him even if you hit me or kill me, if I ever get married and
my husband is unfaithful to me, I will pay him back so men will understand how
women suffer when men trample over them.
So,
full of that resentment and anger, once I had made enough money I started
telling my mom she should separate from my dad despite the fact that I really
loved my dad. You shouldn
t put up with a man like that! Be dignified,
make him see your worth!
Can you
imagine? I was trying to make my own
parents divorce!
39. I didn t understand that. My anger swelled and changed my life. I became a rebel and
started promulgating my desire to defend women. I began defending abortion, cohabitation, and divorce, speaking out in
favor of an eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth. I was never unfaithful but I harmed many people with my advice.
40.
When we came to the Fifth Commandment, the Lord showed me I was a
horrible assassin and that I had committed the worst and most abominable in
front of his eyes: an abortion. Money empowered me to pay for several abortions
because I claimed women had a right to choose when they wanted to become
pregnant or not. I saw in the book of life and it hurt me deeply when I saw a
fourteen-year old girl aborting because I had taught her. When one is poisoned
nothing good remains. Everything that comes close to you is also spoiled.
There were these girls, three of them my nieces and the other one, my nephew s girlfriend. Their parents would let them come to my house because I had money and talked to them about fashion, glamour, how to show their bodies, and so on. My sister would send them to me. I corrupted them. I corrupted minors, that was a horrible sin, compounding abortion. I would tell them not to be innocent. Your mothers talk to you about virginity and chastity because they re outdated. They talk about a 2000 year old Bible but priests have refused to come to terms with the modern world. Your mothers talk about what the Pope says, but the Pope is outdated.
Imagine how poisonous! I taught these girls they had to enjoy their bodies but that they had to contracept. I taught them the perfect woman method. That 14 year old, my nephew bs girlfriend, came to my office one day (I saw this in the book of life) and in tears told me Gloria, I m just a baby and I m pregnant! I scolded her and told her didn t I teach you about contraception? She replied yes, but it didn t work! Then I saw how the Lord had put that girl there so she wouldn t sink in the abyss, so she wouldn t abort. Abortion is a heavy chain that drags and tramples, it is a hurt that never ends. It s the emptiness of being a murderer. It s the worst thing one can do to a child.
41.
As to that girl, instead of talking to her about the Lord, I gave her money to
have an abortion at a good place so she wouldn t have any complications
later on in life. Just like that one, I sponsored several abortions. Each time
the blood of a baby is spilled, it s like
a holocaust to
Satan. It is a holocaust which hurts and shakes the Lord. In the book of life I saw
how our soul is formed the moment the sperm and the egg touch. A beautiful
spark is formed, a light beaming from the sun of God the Father. As soon as
the womb of a mother is impregnated, it lights up with the brightness of that
soul. When there is an abortion, that soul screams and moans in pain even if it
has no eyes or flesh. When it is being murdered, that cry is heard and heaven
shakes and an equally strong cry is heard in hell, but this time of joy.
Immediately after that happens, some seals break loose in hell and larvae come
out to continue prowling around humankind, keeping it enslaved to the flesh and
to all those bad things we see and the worse that will come.
Because,
how many babies are killed on a daily basis? And it is a victory for him. The
price of innocent blood releases one more demon each time. I got washed in that
blood and my clean soul became absolutely dark. After those abortions, I had no more sense of sinfulness. For me,
everything was okay. It was sad to see how all those debts I owed the devil
included as well all those babies I had killed myself because I had a copper-T
intrauterine device. I painfully saw how many little babies had been created
and those suns had burst, with the cry of that baby being torn away from the
hands of his Father God. No wonder I was always sour and ill-tempered, with a
grim face, frustrated with everyone and very depressed. I had become a
baby-killing machine!
And
that sank me deeper into the abyss. How could I say I hadn
t killed? How about every person I
disliked, hated,
or simply couldn t put up with? I was being a murderer there too, because people
don t only die from
a gunshot. It s enough to hate them, to do bad things to them, to be envious of
them.
You kill with that.
42.
As far as the Sixth Commandment
is concerned I thought they can t find
any dirt here; I didn t have any affairs and I ve only had one man, my husband, my entire life. Then they showed me that each time
my chest was showing and I was wearing leotards I was inciting other men to
look at me and have impure thoughts and I would make them sin. That s how I
fell into adultery.
I
would advise women to be unfaithful to their husbands. I would advise against
forgiveness and would encourage divorce. That was enough to commit a horrible
adultery.
And
I realized the sins of the flesh are horrendous and condemning even if the
world says they re cool and that we
should keep on behaving like animals. Sadly, I let go of the hand of the Lord, because we sin
in thought, soul, and actions.
It
was painful to see how all that sin, for example the sin of my father s adultery, damaged and tore apart his children. It
made me
resentful against men and it made my brothers into three identical copies of my
dad, happy to be womanizers and drunkards they didn t realize how much they were
harming their children. That s why my dad
would cry with so much hurt seeing how his sin had been inherited in them and in his daughter,
damaging God s work.
43.
On the Seventh Commandment,
regarding not stealing, I considered myself very honest. The Lord showed me
that while food was being wasted in my house, the rest of the world was going
hungry. He told me:
I was hungry and look what
you did with what I gave you and how you would squander it. I was cold and see
how you became enslaved to fashion and appearance, wasting lots of money in
treatments to look thinner. In other words, you made a god out of your body.
He showed me I was guilty of the misery of my country and that I did have to do with it. He showed me how every time I gossiped about someone I stole his honor. It would have been easier to steal money from someone, because at least I could have returned it, but not so a person s reputation. I stole from my children the grace of having a mother at home, tender and loving, and not the mother out in the world leaving them with the TV, the computer, or the video games for baby sitters. To clean my conscience, I would buy them brand-name clothes. It horrified me even worse when I saw my mom questioning herself, even though she was a saintly woman who loved and corrected us. So I thought: What about me? I haven t given my children anything! How frightening, what immense pain!
44.
I felt ashamed because in the Book of Life you get to see everything
like in a movie. And my children would say lets
hope mom doesn t come home
soon, hopefully there will be a traffic jam, because she s really annoying and is
always complaining. How sad it is for a
three year old
boy and a slightly older girl to say that. I stole their mother from them; I
stole the peace I was supposed to give in my home. I didn
t teach them God through me; I didn t teach them to
love their fellowman. It s very simple: if I don t love my
fellowman, I have nothing to do with the Lord. If I
have no mercy, I have nothing to do with the Lord.
45.
Because God is love and well, I ll tell you a little bit about not bearing
false witness. Or lie, because I was an expert at it. Satan became my father,
because you may have either God or Satan as father.
If
God is love, but I hate, who is my father? Not hard to answer. And if
God speaks to me about forgiveness and about loving those who hurt me but I
would say that I would repay any offense, then who is my father? And if He is
the truth and Satan is the lies, who is my father?
There are no white lies or anything like that. They are all lies and Satan is
their father. My sins of the word were so terrible! I saw how much I had hurt
with my tongue. Whenever I gossiped, whenever I made fun, whenever I gave
anyone a nickname, how much did that person hurt. How
much did that nickname hurt. I could give someone with
a weight problem an inferiority complex by just calling her fat. How much evil I did, because words always end up as actions.
46. When they gave me the test on the ten commandments, all my evils came from covetousness, that mad desire. I always thought I would be happy if only I had lots of money, and it became an obsession. How sad! The worst moment for my soul was when I had the most money. I even thought of killing myself. With so much money and alone, empty! Sour. Frustrated. That greed for money was the path that led me astray and away from my Lord s hand.
47.
After my test on the Ten Commandments they showed me the Book of Life. I wish I had words to describe it. My book of life started at conception,
when my parents cells united. Almost immediately there was a spark, a beautiful explosion
and a soul was formed, my soul, grabbed by the hand by God my Father, such a
beautiful God. So marvelous! Looking for me 24 hours a day. What I saw as punishment
was nothing but His love because He didn t look at my
flesh but rather at my soul and He would see how I was straying away from salvation.
Before
I finish I have to give you an example of how beautiful the Book of Life is. I was very
hypocritical. I would tell someone you look beautiful in that dress, it looks great on you but inside of me I would think what a disgusting
outfit and she
thinks herself the queen! In the Book of Life, it would show up exactly as I had thought about it,
even though my words also appeared, as well as the inside of my soul. All my
lies were uncovered for everyone to see. I would often play hooky on my mom
because she wouldn t let me go anywhere. I would lie to her about going
to the library with some friends to work on a school project and my mom would believe me.
And I would head off to watch a pornographic movie or to a bar to drink beer
with my friends. But my mom saw my life,
nothing escaped her.
The
Book of Life is very beautiful. My mom would pack bananas, guava paste, and
milk for my lunch because my parents were very poor when I was little. I would
eat the banana and would throw the peel anywhere. I was never aware that
someone could get hurt if I did that. And the Lord showed me who it was who
fell because of that banana peel and how I could have killed that person due to
my lack of mercy. The only time I did a good confession, with sorrow and
repentance, was when a woman gave me back too much change. She gave me back
4,500 pesos more than she was supposed to at a grocery store in
48.
"That stupid woman gave me back 4,500 pesos more than she was supposed to
and now I have to go back! There was a huge traffic jam so I decided not to
turn back. After all, why was she so stupid! But the hurt remained because my
dad had planted well the seed of honesty. I went to confession on Sunday and I
accused myself of stealing 4,500 pesos because I didn
t give them back. I didn t even pay attention to
the priest s words. The devil
couldn t accuse me of having stolen. But do
you want to know what the Lord told me?
You didn
t repay that lack of charity. That money was pocket change for you, but
to her, making the minimum wage, it was three day s worth of food.
The
saddest part was that he showed me how she suffered and went hungry for a
couple days. Because of me, her two little ones hungered. That
s how the Lord shows these
things. It shows how someone suffered with something I did. The Lord
asked me:
49. What spiritual treasures do you bring?
Spiritual treasures! And my hands were empty! That s when he told me:
What was the point in your
owning two condos, houses, and office buildings? You thought yourself a
successful professional. You couldn t even bring the dust off of one of those bricks here.
What did you do with the talents I gave you?
Talents? I thought.
You had a mission, the
mission to defend the kingdom of love, the
I
had forgotten I had a soul so I could hardly remember I had talents, that I was
the merciful hands of God. Much less that all the good I didn
t do hurt the Lord. Do you want to know what
the Lord kept on asking me? About lack of love and charity.
That s when He told me about my spiritual death. I was alive, but dead. If
you could have seen what
spiritual death is.
It s like a soul that hates. Like a
terribly sour and fastidious soul that injures everyone, full of sin. I could
see my soul on the outside, smelling well, with good clothes on, but my stench
on the inside, living deep in the abyss. No wonder I was so depressed and sour!
And he told me:
Your spiritual death began when you stopped hurting for your brothers! I was warning you by showing you their plight everywhere. When you saw media coverage on murders, abductions, refugee situations, and with your tongue you said, on the outside, poor people, how sad, but you didn t really hurt for them. You felt nothing in your heart. Sin made your heart into a heart of stone.
You
can imagine my deep sorrow when my book closed. I had deep sorrow with God my
Father for having behaved like that because, despite all my sins, despite all
my filth and all my indifference and all my horrible feelings, the Lord always,
up until the last instant, searched for me. He would always send me instruments,
people, He would talk to me, He would yell at me, He
would take things away from me to seek me. He looked for me up until the very
end. God is always begging at each one of us to convert.
50.
I couldn t
accuse Him of condemning me! Of course not. Out of my free will, I
chose my father, and my father was not God. I chose Satan, he was my father.
When that book closed I noticed I was heading down into a pit with a door at
its bottom. And as I m heading there, I
started
calling out to all the saints so they would save me. You have no idea how many
saints I remembered, being such a bad Catholic. I thought I could ask for help
from Saint Isadora or Saint Francis of
I
thought everyone back on earth was probably thinking I had died a Saint,
perhaps even waiting eagerly to ask for my intercession. And look! Where was
I headed? I lifted my eyes and they met the eyes of my mom.
With intense pain I cried out to her mommy, how ashamed I am! I was condemned, mommy! Where Im going I ll never get to see you again! At
that moment, they granted her a beautiful grace. She was still but her fingers
moved and pointed upward. A couple of very painful scales fell from my eyes,
that spiritual blindness. I saw a beautiful moment, when one of my patients
told me:
Doctor, you are very
materialistic and some day you ll need this. When you find yourself in imminent danger,
ask Jesus
With
that immense shame and pain I started to cry: Jesus
You will go back, you will have a second chance (), but He told me it wasn t
because of my family s prayer.
It s normal for them to pray and cry out for you. It s because of the intercession of all those foreign to your body and blood who have cried, have prayed, and have raised their heart with immense love for you.
I
began to see many little lights lighting up, as little flames of love. I saw
the people who were praying for me. But there was a big flame,
it was the one that gave out the most light. It was the one that gave out the
most love. I tried to see who that person was. The Lord told me:
That person you see
right there loves you so much that he doesn t even know
you.
He
showed me how this man had seen an old newspaper clipping from the previous day.
He was a poor peasant who lived in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de
Father, Lord, have compassion
on my little sister. Lord, save her. Look, Lord, if you save my little sister, I promise you
I will go on pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lord in Buga
(translator s note: in southwestern
Imagine
a very poor man, he wasn t complaining or cursing because he was hungry, but instead he had
this capacity to love that he could offer to cross an entire country for
someone he didn t
even know. And the Lord told me:
51. That is love for your fellowman () And then
He told me: You will go
back, but you won t repeat this 1000 times. You will repeat it 1000 times 1000. And woe of those who don t change
their ways despite having heard you,
because they will be judged much more severely, just like you will when you
come back here again, even their anointed or their priests, or any of them,
because the worst deafness is that of a man who refuses to hear.
And
this, my brothers and sisters, is not a threat. The Lord doesn t need to
threaten us. This is the second chance you have and that, thanks be to God, I
lived through what I did. When each one of you gets his Book of Life opened in front of you, when each one of you dies, you
will see that moment just as I saw it. And
we will see each other just as we are the only difference being we will see our
thoughts in the presence of God, and the most beautiful part, with the Lord
in front of each one of us, once again, begging us to convert and to become a new creation with Him,
since we
cannot do it without Him.
May
the Lord bless each one of you abundantly. All glory be to our God! All glory be to our
Lord Jesus

1. What we have here is a
well-to-do Doctor of Dentistry in
2. Her nephew surely went straight to Heaven because of his devotion to the Infant Jesus.
3. Gloria had third degree burns not only on the skin but throughout the body even to the bones with no hope of living.
4. Gloria's nephew died because of his love of the Infant Jesus but she was being killed because of Birth Control, using an insert birth-control device against God's laws. The lightening went straight to this copper devise and through her body.
5. Here Gloria is
headed for what everyone of us will face at death, the
Judgment before
6. Now even before being judged she is judging herself and seeing what was really important, her children, who she neglected for success in the world.
7. Without any time passing she realized that her relatives, who had already died, were in fact in Heaven and could pray for her, relate and see her live on earth. This is just another proof that the Orthodox are wrong, who think no one goes to Heaven until the end of the world. It shows that Protestants are wrong, who think saints in Heaven cannot pray for us. It also proves that she was wrong in believing in Reincarnation.
8. At this moment she felt the great joy of being a pure spirit because she could be all places at the same time. She could hug her living daughter and even see her inner thoughts and at the same time not leave her steady clime towards judgment. As she climbed she was convicting herself because she saw things as they really are and not as she perceived them on earth.
9. At this moment she was
able to look back at her body and those around it. Her trip towards
judgment was stopped and she headed back to earth to come back to life.
Many people have experienced this much of what we call near-death experiences
including a good friend of mine in
10. Now her soul entered back into her body from the head down and she started feeling all the pain that she did not feel when dead and without her body and soul being united.
11. At this moment seeing her body like a burned worm she realized that her real god was her vanity, even using her body to tempt others to sin. Now she saw how the body means nothing and that only the soul, the inside, matters.
12 Now she came out of her body again and saw the surgeons working on her body and she realized that she cared more for her body than for her soul. She remembered back when some priest said that there was no Hell, and that was the moment she started loosing her faith in the Church's teachings and even accepting Evolution as a way to replace God.
13 At this moment she realized that she owed her soul to the demons and the were coming to claim it. She wanted to go back into her body even to suffer but could not.
14 Now she descended to the gates of Hell, where there is no love, hope or redemption.
15 She now saw the people in Hell and why they were there and mostly young people.
16 Now in desperation she tries to justify herself even claiming that she remained a Catholic even while an atheist.
17 A light came making her think that she might have hope of a second chance.
18
But in spite of her mother and father's prayers they could not save her.
But
19
She tried to justify her life but
20
21 She realized that her god was money and image and she never even thanked God for what she had. She went to God only when she needed something but then never thanked God after.
22 She mixed her faith in the Catholic Church with Satanic and heritical beliefs creating the heresy of "Pluralism".
23 He shows her that she did not love God.
24 She sees clearly that she did not love her fellow man.
25
26 She tried to claim that at least one commandment she kept - she did not kill anyone but He will show that this was one of her worst sins.
27 Now
28 She saw that even the good she did was self-serving and not for the good of others.
29
30 In fact she did not even leave anything but debt for her children.
31
32 She even brought about the lightening strike on her by lying to her mother.
33
34 Part of the Third
Commandment is honoring the sacraments and
35 She saw that she even criticized priests and accused them of things she could not prove.
36
37 Now
38 Gloria was right in confronting her father for being a womanizer but she over-compensated for this by cleaning to the woman's movement and instead of trying to help her father she condemned him. Her mother endured this and her pain and prayers even saved her husband. A Vow of Marriage cannot be broken but there is never a vow to stay under the same roof with a husband or wife if life or morals are at stake, but this woman even endured this to save her husband and her seven children.
39 Instead of trying to help
her father see his sins, she over-compensated and promoted woman's lib
including abortion, cohabitation, and divorce. On the other hand, her
mother's love saved her father' soul.
41 Now the Book of Life shows her how a soul enters at the moment of conception and how the millions of abortions gives greater and greater power to Satan and his demons over the world. She could have escaped this condemnation but she justified her sins and did not confess them.
42
43
44 Because she could now see even what people were thinking, she saw that she even stole from her children because she stole their mother.
45 She stole by gossiping, stealing people's reputation and stealing people's self esteem.
46 And even the rest of the commandments because she coveted everything.
47 Then she saw her entire live from the moment of conception in the Book of Life like a movie. Mostly she saw the love of God that she rejected. She saw all that she did and even what she thought and what others thought. She saw what we cannot see on earth, the results of each and every sin, even the smallest.
48 She saw how even though she confessed taking 1500 pesos, because she did not pay it back it stood as another accusation against her. She saw the results of this and the pain the person went though because she was just to busy to bring the money back. Confessed sins are gone but not if the confessed sin is not done properly.
49 Now
50 The lesson of the Communion
of Saints.
