I was browsing yesterday and came across this site. It lists prophecies made by apparently the most gifted Catholic seer ever to live, Bl. Anne Emmerich. I thought some of them would be nice to know for those who have never heard them before, so here I will list some of the more interesting or helpful ones:

1. She saw that every parish and diocese, every city and country, has its own powerful guardian angel.
May be a good idea to ask the guardian angel of your parish to help you maintain a solemn behaviour during Mass 🙂

2. She saw many ignorant but pious Protestants suffering in purgatory. Also that many stay a long time there due to no one ever praying for them (Protestants deny the existence of purgatory) and that the Blessed Mother is present at the judgment of Protestants after death.
This vision confirms that the RCC is the one true church and the way to Jesus Christ. Pious Protestants must suffer in purgatory, they cannot immediately enter Heaven. It is interesting to note that they are “ignorant”. If one chooses to remain a Protestant even when he or she is convinced of the truth of Catholicism, I believe then that he or she cannot be saved.

3. She saw a strong link between pious deceased in Heaven with their descendants lasting centuries.
This is one of my favorite revelations. We can and should pray to our deceased righteous ancestors to help, succor and pray for us, and because of their deep love for their living descendants, they will come to our aid.

4. She saw that the holy souls in Purgatory will repay the kindness of those who pray for them by praying for them in return, and that the most agreeable form of prayer to God is to pray for someone else, particularly those in purgatory.
Seems to me like prayer for those in purgatory is a very powerful armor against sin and hell.

5. She saw that Saints are particularly powerful on their feast days and should be invoked then.

What website did you find this at? I have never heard of her before and I would really like to read up on it 👍
 
It doesn’t make sense. Saint Padre Pio said that he has seen pious protestants go to Heaven.
 
Wow, kind of a little scary to think of my devout protestant family members suffering a long time in purgatory—leaves me feeling kind of helpless and scared myself. I really long to be in God’s good graces.
 
Blessed Anna is so cool. Couple of things: 1) She claims the Chalice at the Last Supper was the same one used by Melchizadek. Thousands of years apart ! Possible for God, but I just don’t know. 2) She said that when our Lady conceived, our Lord’s soul entered the fetus three months into the pregnancy, rather than four and a half months, as was the folk belief at the time. But the soul enters at conception.

Yes well no offense, but he says only that the mother and the king are “saved”. Those in purgatory are “saved”, but not immediately. They go through a purging fire first. Also, the way Saint Pio spoke of the mother, “Who told you she could not be saved?” makes me think that he meant to imply that the mother is saved, but is currently in purgatory and needful of prayers.

St. Padre Pio also asked her daughter not to push her to convert while she was alive.
Padre Pio advised Mary not to push her mother to convert: “Let her be! Don’t upset her peace.” However, Mary continued to worry because her mother was not a Catholic, and Padre Pio counseled, “Let’s not confuse her. She will be saved because she has faith.”

Not only this, but I have also read a reference where St. Padre Pio specifically sees that a woman who is protestant who has recently died is in Heaven at that point in time. I can’t remember off the top of my head where it is now, perhaps in a book, but can search for it later if you need to see it to believe. But I am not the only person who has seen this reference. Another poster mentions it here. forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?p=8526579

Of course he’d tell her to keep her peace and not upset her mother if he foresaw that she would remain faithful to the Protestant faith. God doesn’t want us to attempt what he knows is impossible. I personally have a grandmother and two aunts who are Protestants, and I believe that they will go to Heaven, just maybe not immediately.
 
Well, most of us I believe will be purged also, and what a joy!
Being purge includes both suffering and joy, and the joy and happiness of those in purgatory is comparable to none but the blessed in heaven (as written by St. Catherine of Genoa in her treatise on purgatory).

Given that there are only 3 possible places for an adult to go after they die, one of which has no hope of ever escaping, and thus, no joy, it would stand to reason that of the two remaining, Heaven would contain the most joy, with Purgatory second, though by no means worse than Hell in its full context- seems dang near it in terms of some of the descriptions I’ve read of visions of the place. There is a hope of assurance in Purgatory, is there not? The conclusion of St. Catherine just seems to follow logic. A rather glass half-full phrasing I guess.

Right, and why would he think it was impossible? And why would he specifically say that one Protestant woman is in Heaven after death (but her Catholic daughter is in Purgatory) but imply that this woman is in Purgatory without saying so specifically.

God is merciful, and just. He will not turn someone away who sincerely tries to follow Him. He is the source of all truth, and there can be nothing but perfect love of that truth in Heaven. Those who do not attain it in this life must attain it in their purification for the next life.

Purgatory may not be comfortable, but we must remember what it is- a purification. If purgatory is suffering, then it is a holy suffering that ONLY brings the soul closer to God. Also, in purgatory there are no temptations or further opportunities to reject God altogether. The poor souls in purgatory may not like it, but at the same time they know they are saved and that the purification is only for their benefit.

All in the purgatory already assured living beatific vision.
Well, description and visions are analogy, I think we need to remember that.
St. Catherine in Genoa wrote that the suffering in hell and in purgatory is very different, not even close.

Those in purgatory suffer like silver refined in fire, where all rust and impurities are destroyed. They joyfully endure it, because the suffering they experience is suffering of love, intense moment of grace.
Suffering in hell is very different, it is suffering because hardness of hard, bitterness because lack of love.

Personally I’m not fan of purgatory explanation in term of punishment and torture, because more often it miss the point. Latin piety regarding purgatory more and more sees those undergoing purgation as pitiable soul. Since when it became widespread is beyond me.

St. Catherine shows a very balanced understanding of purgatory. Even Dante’s Divine Comedy shows it very well. Recent Popes like John Paul II and Benedict sees purgatory in a more positive and blessed light.

Imagine the difference between a Siberian gulag camp, and a “camp” of military training. Both include sets of men who: suffer, do work, and understand (generally) the point of their work and suffering.

The gulag prisoner is utterly hopeless. He does work which, under different conditions, would engender a very strong and capable man. He is in hell on earth in a manner of speaking.

The trainee: he understands he will go through some very hard times in training. He understands this has a purpose. Depending on the individual, he may have prepared himself greatly before his challenge, and the challenge is not as “bad” for him. He may not. No matter what, he is assured that the miles he walks under heavy load, the miles he runs, the sweat and blood and tears he drops to the ground, etc- all have a purpose and an end-state goal. He eventually will get to the point that he embraces all the pain thrown at him because all he sees is the end.

The work of the trainee may be more intense, in a sense, than the gulag. It has a purpose. He can see that end. It is more joyful than a situation with no joy.

If I were to compare the suffering of Hell and Purgatory in ways I can understand, that would be it.

The “modern” way of looking at things is happy, and not the full picture.
There was a time when trainees went in expecting pain and suffering and work. Now they don’t. Now they want to hear about the cool stuff. Now they want to complain when they find out you have to sweat, bleed, and maybe even cry to get through certain things. Many reject the harder, better option in lieu of less suffering. Many walk a broad road to what they think is their graduation, only to find they failed totally.

It behooves no soul to not realize we all have endless miles, weight, sweat, blood and tears to achieve a goal.

I’d rather suffer everything here that’s possible. I’d rather have everything I could be attached to, ripped away here.

I do not presume a graduation, I only accept that to get there we must suffer in some way and it is best to find the joy in that now so we can achieve the desired goal.

The recycle class has it worse than the graduating class, though such a recycling is better than an outright drop from the course.

Thank you so very much, jonbhorten for putting purgatory in its’ proper perspective. Being an air force veteran myself, the intense fear of purgatory isn’t as bad-with you explaining this in this fashion. I fear that when or if I end up in purgatory, I would confuse it with hell-since both sounds similar in many ways. I guess earlier at work (at the air base) when I spilled coffee on my hand-it wasn’t as painful as anticipated yet that brought to my mind that maybe purgatory as uncomfortable of a place it is may not be as frightening as it sounds. Thank you for explaining it this way-I can be at peace again. 👍
