All Saints' Day

November 1, 2019

While I was in the night watches I saw a large space, full of blue clouds, flowers and colorful butterflies flying. Among them there were many figures of bright people, dressed in white, who sang and praised God in glory. Then my Angel said to me: see those, they are the Saints and that place is Heaven. They are those people who on Earth, although having a simple and normal life, had decided to follow the Gospel and the Lord Jesus. They are simple men, without hatred, full of charity and sincerity.

Continuing in the nocturnal vigils, my Angel said: do not let the passion and materialism of this world take you away from the true meaning of life. You are in the world to experience life according to the mission that has been entrusted to you. But if instead of thinking about this you think about your business neglecting the important thing then you will see the ruin of your existence.

In the same night vigil a saint approached me and said: listen to the blessing of your Angel and follow his advice. I thought about my business on Earth but then when I met a friend in my life who announced the Gospel to me, I immediately changed my attitude. God appreciated this gesture of mine and forgave my sins and after long years of prayers, charity and obedience to God, after death I came here to Heaven. I can tell you that the joy in this place is not compared to a happy life between riches and pleasures. Many men on Earth neglect eternal life thinking that they should live forever, but then when their life ends, even if it has been a life of pleasure, they see their existence as a failure since they have not procured Heaven.

So my friend, continued the Saint towards me, do you know why God wanted the feast of all the Saints to be instituted on Earth? Not to make you do business, rest or trips but to make you remember that your time in the world is limited so if you use it well and become Holy then you will enjoy eternally otherwise your existence will be in vain.

It wakes me up to sleep at night before the day of the feast of all the saints and I thought to myself "make me become a saint so at the end of my existence I will be able to say that I understand the most important thing".
