Does Mary keep some people from going to Hell? I read a part in a book called The Beautiful Story of the Catholic Faith where it had an example of someone who was killed in the state of mortal sin but was kept from going to Hell becasue of her devotion to the rosary. She was eventually freed from Purgatory and went to Heaven.
I was wondering if this could really happen if you were devoted to Mary.

Thanks:),

I believe Mary intercedes and may give grace to help you repent at the hour of your death. But the soul can still resist and go to hell. I read in “Devotion to Our Lady” by Fr. Manelli that someone that tried to drown herself was wearing the scapular and it kept her from sinking, but she tore it off and drowned. The book said that people have been found to die with the scapular off the body when they were in mortal sin, almost showing that you still can choose apart from God and Mary.
 
Possible? Yes.

Something I want to gamble on? Nope.

Inspiring? Definitely. 🙂
 
Hi,
“Killed” may mean different things. If one means that point in time when the body leaves the soul, then if the soul is dead, that is in the state of mortal sin, then there is only one
destination for that soul.

If by “killed” the soul is not yet left the body, but the person looks dead from
external appearances, then anything is possible for the soul. And people have been declared dead and yet did come back from that to life but were indeed not really dead.

So it would depend on the type of meaning for “killed”.

For this reason the priest should always be called so that the Last Annointing may be
performed for the “dead” person whose soul may not yet be seperated from the body.
“And if he be in sin, his sin will be forgiven.” So it is quite possible to pray for the dead in a very helpful spiritual way.

“Hail Mary … pray for us … at the hour of our death.”
 
I have a strong devotion to Mary. I also wear a Fivefold Scapular. I strongly believe that Mary is of great assistance in staying out of a state of mortal sin. Her intercession for us provides us with a great deal of grace.
 
Blessed virgin Mary interceedes for us, but Jesus paid the debt of our sins,
 
Does Mary keep some people from going to Hell?

Absolutely!

At Fatima The Blessed Mother revealed a special prayer to be said after every decade of the Rosary.

…‘Oh my Jesus forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell…’
 
Our Blessed Mother helps us to escape hell by praying for us, and her prayers are very powerful with God… if that person was rescued from hell because of their devotion to Mary, that is good of course, but - we shouldn’t use this as an excuse to be careless about mortal sin. That person probably was not careless, and their devotion was sincere. If we say “oh we can die in mortal sin as long as we pray the Rosary…” - that is not sincere, that has no love for God. We must try very hard to not die in mortal sin!! the part where Mary comes in, is that she can pray for us and help us to repent of all our sins before death 🙂 yes devotion to her is very good and the demons fear it. You might be interested in the book “Secret of the Rosary” by St Louis de Montfort.

God bless!

Thank you for your replies. 🙂 I don’t think I have been dependant on it but I will make sure that I won’t.
