Mary in Medjugorje speaks to you of the Souls of Purgatory and the afterlife

Message dated July 20, 1982
In Purgatory there are many souls and among them also people consecrated to God. Pray for them at least seven Pater Ave Gloria and the Creed. I recommend it! Many souls have been in Purgatory for a long time because nobody prays for them. In Purgatory there are several levels: the lower ones are close to Hell while the higher ones gradually approach Heaven.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
2 Maccabees 12,38-45
Judah then assembled the army and came to the city of Odollam; since the week was completed, they purified themselves according to usage and spent Saturdays there. The next day, when it had become necessary, the men of Judah went to collect the corpses to lay them with their relatives in the family tombs. But under the tunic of each dead they found objects sacred to the idols of Iamnia, which the law forbids the Jews; therefore it was clear to all why they had fallen. Therefore all, blessing the work of God, the just judge who makes the occult things clear, resorted to prayer, pleading that the sin committed was fully forgiven. The noble Judas exhorted all those of the people to preserve themselves without sins, having seen with their own eyes what had happened for the sin of the fallen. Then he made a collection, with a head each, for about two thousand silver dramas, sent them to Jerusalem to be offered an atoning sacrifice, thus performing a very good and noble action, suggested by the thought of the resurrection. Because if he had not had firm confidence that the fallen would be resurrected, it would have been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead. But if he considered the magnificent reward reserved for those who fall asleep in death with feelings of pity, his consideration was holy and devoted. So he had the atoning sacrifice offered for the dead, to be absolved of sin.
2.Peter 2,1-8
There have also been false prophets among the people, as well as there will be false teachers among you who will introduce pernicious heresies, denying the Lord who redeemed them and attracting a ready ruin. Many will follow their debauchery and because of them the way of truth will be covered with impropèri. In their greed they will exploit you with false words; but their condemnation has long been at work and their ruin is lurking. For God did not spare the angels who had sinned, but precipitated them into the dark abysses of hell, keeping them for judgment; he did not spare the ancient world, but nevertheless with other sects he saved Noah, auctioneer of justice, while making the flood fall upon a world of wicked; he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, setting an example to those who would live impiously. Instead, he freed the just Lot, distressed by the immoral behavior of those villains. The righteous one, in fact, for what he saw and heard while he lived among them, tormented himself every day in his soul just for such ignominies.
Revelation 19,17-21
Then I saw an angel, standing on the sun, shouting loudly to all the birds that fly in the middle of the sky: “Come, gather at the great banquet of God. Eat the meat of the kings, the meat of the captains, the meat of the heroes , the meat of horses and riders and the meat of all men, free and slaves, small and large ". Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the one who was sitting on the horse and against his army. But the beast was captured and with it the false prophet who in his presence had operated those portents with whom he had seduced those who had received the mark of the beast and had adored the statue. Both were thrown alive into the lake of fire, burning with sulfur. All the others were killed by the sword that came out of the Knight's mouth; and all the birds were satisfied with their flesh.
1.Corinthians 3,1-17
Up to now I, brothers, have not been able to speak to you as spiritual men, but as carnal beings, as babies in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren't capable of it. And even now you are not; because you are still carnal: since there is envy and discord between you, are you not carnal and do you not behave in a completely human way? When one says: "I am of Paul", and another: "I am of Apollo", do you not simply show yourself men? But what is Apollo ever? What is Paolo? Ministers through whom you have come to the faith and each according to which the Lord has granted him. I planted, Apollo irrigated, but it is God who made us grow. Now neither the one who plants, nor the one who irritates is anything, but God who makes us grow. There is no difference between those who plant and those who irritate, but each one will receive his reward according to his own work. We are in fact collaborators of God, and you are the field of God, the building of God. According to the grace of God that has been given to me, as a wise architect I have laid the foundation; another then builds on it. But everyone is careful how he builds. In fact, no one can lay a foundation other than what is already there, which is Jesus Christ. And if, on this foundation, it is built with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, everyone's work will be clearly visible: it will make it known on that day which will manifest itself with fire, and fire will prove the quality of the is everyone's work. If the work that one built on the foundation endures, he will receive a reward; but if the work ends up burned, he will be punished: nevertheless he will save himself, but as through the fire. do you know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? If one destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. Because holy is the temple of God, which is you
