I’m concerned with the chilling words sister lucia said to her relative who was a priest.

He said " the world is an evil place, at least theres always hope for our salvation"

she replied “no father, many will be lost”

This makes me worried as a very holy lady at my church has told me that God has chastised the world already, she did not say any more.
 
Can you please p(name removed by moderator)oint where those exact words are referenced in the literature?
 
Private revelations are just that. We are not bound to them.
Sr Lucia was a beautiful soul, but she wrote a lot of stuff that is well, different.
Take it as an admonishment to be holy and don’t let it derail your faith in a negative way.
 
Romans 8

35 Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?

36 (As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

37 But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.

38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 
I know how unattractive belief in hell is, but I don’t see what’s so surprising about her words for anybody that does daily scripture reading. It takes a lot of mental acrobatics to believe something differently.

“Many” is a dubious term, but she doesn’t say anything different than what hundreds of saints have said already.

There is no hope for salvation after death.

There is no universal salvation. We can hope that all are saved, as hope is one of the three theological virtues. But God judges as He sees fit and hope does not apply to Him, as He knows all. It is we who need the hope. Hopelessness leads to despair and, as with Judas Iscariot, that is the sin against hope.
 
The belief that few will be saved is not at all uncommon.

Let us do our best to be a part of the remnant, and listen to the teaching of Jesus.
 
Yes…but St. Paul also said this…

! Cor 10:1 - 5

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea. And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea: And did all eat the same spiritual food: And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.) But with most of them God was not well pleased.

It continues…why God was not pleased with them, they did not love the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:6-11
6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

7 Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
