C. st maria faustyna kowalska: "a place of great torture"

(i.) general tortures

1. LOSS OF GOD

2. PERPETUAL REMORSE OF CONSCIENCE

3. ONE'S CONDITION WILL NEVER CHANGE

4. THE FIRE THAT WILL PENETRATE THE SOULD WITHOUT DESTROYING IT (a purely spiritual fire lit by God's ANGER)

5. CONTINUAL DARKNESS & A TERRIBLE SUFFOCATING SMELL

6. HORRIBLE DESPAIR, HATRED OF GOD, VILE WORDS, CURSES & BLASPHEMIES

(ii,) special tortures -- for particular souls; torments of the SENSES -- related to the manner in which it is sinned

>"let the sinner know that he will be tortured for all ETERNITY in the SENSE in which he made use of to sin."

NB: "MOST OF THE SOULS THERE ARE THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED THAT THERE IS A HELL."

>resolution: PRAY for the CONVERSION OF SINNERS, incessantly pleasing God's MERCY upon them

                    : "O my Jesus, I would rather be in AGONY until the end of the world, amidst the greatest sufferings, than offend You by the least sin." -- st faustyna

> Jesus: "The loss of every soul plunges Me into mortal sadness. You always CONSOLE me when you pray for sinners. THE PRAYER MOST PLEASING TO ME IS PRAYER FOR THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS. Know, my daughter, that this prayer is ALWAYS HEARD AND ANSWERED." -- Diary of st faustyna

               "At the hour of their death, I defend every soul that will say The Chaplet as I do my own glory. When the Chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, God's ANGER is placated & His unfathomable MERCY envelops the soul." -- Diary, 811

               "... When HARDENED SINNERS say it, I will fill their souls with PEACE, & the hour of their death will be a happy one."
