Mary gave a vision of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory to a young girl named Anathalie in Rwanda. Afterwards, she explained the kinds of people who Anathalie saw in each place.
I am a cradle Catholic but was raised by grandparents who are Protestants. My only contact with the Faith was at my Catholic school and it was not in depth. After almost a decade of dabbling in the Protestant church, the Lord called me back after my family and I moved to Italy. I am basically relearning many things but my appetite is insatiable. I recently had a very close friend die. My first vision with him after his death, was one in which he had a sad face. I was confused because he was a godly man. A few days ago he appeared in my dream. He had a few marks on his face, he was dressed in his usual black clothes. He said he was too busy working on an assignment and not worshipping enough. And he also said he had heart surgery after finding a trusty surgeon, noting that it was not easy to trust anyone where he was. I was so very confused by this. But now reading your account of purgatory it has been made more clear. I need to pray for him. My friend and his wife are not Catholic but they served the Lord. If I share this with his wife she’ll think I’ve gone mad. But thank you so much for your very informative and concise writing.
I’m so glad you liked it! Yes, it’s a little known apparition, but it’s so beautiful. I highly recommend the book.
I think I first heard of it about 10 years ago when I was working at the University of Mary in Bismarck. Immaculee came and gave a talk there, and I think that’s when I got the book. It’s very edifying.

Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Nicole. Yes, definitely pray for your friend! I will join you in praying for him as well.
Most importantly, ask a priest to offer a mass for your friend.
Finally, you might be interested in having a set of Gregorian Masses offered for him: https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/mass-gregorian
This is extremely helpful- thank you for your time and loving response!
Thanks for this post, Stewart! Had not heard of this before. ♥️
