The Story of Annette: A Soul In Hell

The Story of Annette, a Soul in Hell

(Part 1)

These events took place in Germany. What we have here is a faithful translation from the French.

The "Nihil Obstat" and the "Imprimatur" guarantee the text to be free from doctrinal errors. They describe a way of life which is very common in present-day society, but ends in disaster. The Divine Mercy, by allowing these revelations, allows us to prepare for our final end.

Claire and Annette were two girls working for a firm in southern Germany. They were not particularly close friends, but simply observed normal everyday courtesies towards each other.

However, working as they did side by side each day, they naturally got around to exchanging views on life, etc. Claire confessed openly that she was a Christian and she considered it her duty to instruct her colleague and to call her charitably back into line when she treated matters of religion lightly or superficially.

Thus they spent some time together until Annette married and gave up her job to go and live elsewhere.

That was in 1937. In the autumn of the same year Claire was spending her holidays beside Lake Garda when, towards the middle of September, her mother wrote from home with the sad news that Annette had been killed in an automobile accident and had been buried the day before.

Claire was horrified by the news, knowing as she did how little her friend had cared about her religion. Had she been ready to appear before God? What had been the state of her soul at the moment of her unexpected death?

DON'T PRAY FOR ME

The next morning Claire heard Mass, offered her Holy Communion for her unfortunate friend and prayed fervently for her soul. But that very night, ten minutes after midnight, the following vision came to her.

"Claire," said Annette, "don't pray for me. I am damned. I have come to tell you that and to speak to you at length about it, but do not think I am doing it out of friendship. We who are here in this place, we do not love anyone ANYMORE. I am doing what I am because I am forced to. I am acting now as 'a part of that power which always wills evil, yet does good.' To be honest I would like you too to be cast into this place where I am to spend eternity. Do not be surprised that I should say that. Here we all think that way. Our will is irrevocably directed towards evil -- at least what you call 'evil.' Even if we do happen to do something good as I am doing now by letting you know what goes on in HELL, we NEVER DO IT WITH A GOOD INTENTION."

Annette continues: "Do you remember when we met four years ago in southern Germany? You were twenty-three, and you had already been there six months when I arrived. As I was a newcomer, you sometimes got me out of scrapes, and you put me in touch with good people, whatever 'good' may mean."

"I used to praise you for your 'love for your neighbor'. How ridiculous! Your good turns were just a matter of pure form; in fact I was already beginning to suspect as much. Here we know of no goodness in anybody. "
