The Story of Annette: A Soul in Hell Part 2

The Story of Annette, a Soul in Hell

(Part 2)

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.

SINS OF HER PARENTS

"You already know something about my early life, so now I will tell you the rest. If my parents had had their way, I should never have been born. They felt my birth was somehow shameful. My sisters were already fourteen and fifteen when I appeared on the scene. Oh, if only I never had been born!! Why can't I just stop existing now and get away from these torments? No pleasure could compare with that of being able to reduce my being to dust, like a layer of ash that the wind blows away! But I have to go on existing. I have to exist like this, the way I made myself, an existence I wrecked!"

"My father and mother were still young when they left the country to go and live in the town, but both of them had already stopped going to church, and a good thing too!! They got friendly with other non-churchgoers. They first met in a dance hall, and at the end of six months they 'had to get married.' They brought away just enough religion from the marriage ceremony to take my mother to Sunday Mass maybe twice a year. She never really taught me to pray. The only things that interested her were the day to day material tasks that had to be done, even though we did not have to worry about money."

"Those words -- 'pray', 'Mass', 'religious instruction', 'Church' -- I find it unspeakably revolting to utter them. I loath it all. I hate people who go to Church. In fact, for that matter, I hate everybody and everything ."

EVERYTHING IS A SOURCE OF PAIN

"The fact is that everything is a source of pain for us. Everything we learned before our death, every memory of things we saw or knew is like a cruel flame. And in every one of these memories we see the graces that were offered to us, the graces we SPURNED. OH WHAT AGONY! We don't eat, we don't sleep, we cannot walk upright. We are spiritually in chains, and we look with horror, with 'weeping and gnashing of teeth', on the ruins of our lives. All that is left for us is hate and torment; Do you understand? Here we drink in hate like water , even among ourselves. Above all we hate God, and I will tell you why. The elect, in Heaven, cannot help loving him, because they see Him unveiled in all His dazzling beauty. That gives them indescribable happiness. We know it and that knowledge drives us into a fury.

Here on earth, those who know God through creation and Revelations can love Him, but they do not have to. The believer -- and it makes me grind my teeth to say it -- the believer who in his mediation contemplates Christ with His arms outstretched on the Cross will end up loving Him. But the man to whom God comes like a hurricane, a Chastiser, a Righteous Avenger; the man who God has rejected as He did us, that man can only hate Him eternally with all the audacity of his ill-will. Yes, HATE HIM, with all the strength of a freely-made decision to be cut off from Him. We made that decision with one dying breath. Even now we would not wish to change it, nor shall we ever wish to do so."

"Do you understand now why Hell is eternal? It is because our obstinacy will go on forever."

"Because I am forced to, I must add that God is merciful, even to us. I say I am 'forced' because, although I am in control of what I tell you, I am still not allowed to lie, as I should like to. I am telling you many things against my will, and I have to hold back the flood of abuse I should like to spew forth. God was merciful in not giving us time to do all the evil that our ill-will would have had us do. Had we done it, it would have added to our faults and so to our punishment. In fact, God either caused us to die young, as I did, or He brought in some other kind of extenuating circumstances. Even now He shows Himself merciful towards us by not making us go any closer to Him that we are here in this far-off place of Hell. That lessens our torment. Every step closer to God would cause me greater pain than you would feel walking up close to a red hot brazier."

"You were shocked once when we were out walking and I told you that a few days before my First Communion my father had said to me, 'My dear Annette, do get a pretty dress. All the rest is just a farce.' Because you were shocked I was almost ashamed. Now the whole thing seems laughable."
