There was once a pious woman who had been generous to the Holy Souls in purgatory. When she was dying, she was burdened by a deathbed depression where she thought that there was no hope for her soul. Simultaneously there was a concentrated effort by the powers of Hell to drive the her to lose faith and to think that Our Lord would never have mercy on her. This was done in a bid to reduce her to the mortal sin of despair, so the demons could claim her soul. Suddenly, the pious woman saw the souls of thousands of supporters who assured her that she could attain the Heavenly Prize. She asked them who they were. "We are the souls which you have delivered from Purgatory, we, in our turn come to help you, and very soon we shall conduct you to Paradise." The pious woman's heart was gladdened, and soon afterwards she died in enviable happiness. I would like to help you to also have compassion for the Poor Souls in Purgatory by telling you two of my favorite documented stories about them. The first is about a pious servant woman and the second is about a Polish prince who was an avowed atheist.
