Santa Faustina: 11 deadly sins. I who have seen hell tell you stay away from them

Saint Faustina is the apostle of Divine Mercy and it might seem strange that through her Jesus Christ decided to give us the most comprehensive catechesis of the last century on Hell.

These are the words that the mystic Saint wrote in her diary:

“Today, led by an angel, I was in the infernal abysses. It is a place of great torture and the space it occupies is vast ".

“These are the various pains that I have seen: the first punishment, the one that constitutes hell, is the loss of God; the second, the constant remorse of conscience; the third, the awareness that that fate will never change; the fourth penalty is the fire which penetrates the soul, but does not destroy it; it is a terrible pain: it is a purely spiritual fire ignited by the wrath of God; the fifth penalty is continuous darkness, a horrifying suffocating stench, and although it is dark, demons and damned souls see each other and see all the evil of others and their own; the sixth penalty is the constant companionship of satan; the seventh penalty is tremendous despair, hatred of God, curses, curses, blasphemies ".

Every damned spirit suffers eternal torments according to the sin in which it was decided to persevere in life: it is the so-called penalty of meaning. There are different degrees of suffering depending on the intensity of sin, but all damned spirits suffer. Intellectual sins are more serious than carnal sins, therefore they are punished with more seriousness. Demons could not sin for carnal weakness, like us men, for this their sins are very serious, yet there are damned men who suffer more than some demons, because the intensity of their sin in life even exceeded that of some angelic spirits. Among the sins, there are four particularly serious ones, are the so-called sins that invoke divine revenge: the voluntary murder, the sexual perversions that confuse society (sodomy and pedophilia), the oppression of the poor, the defrauding of the right wages who he works at. These most serious sins most of all "ignite the wrath of God", because he cares for his every child, especially the youngest, the poorest, the weakest. There are also seven other sins, particularly serious because they are deadly for the soul, and they are the seven sins against the Holy Spirit: the despair of salvation, the presumption of being saved without merit (this sin is very common among Protestants who believe they save oneself "by faith alone"), challenge the known truth, the envy of the grace of others, the obstinacy in sins, the final impenitence. Exorcisms are proof that damned spirits live eternally with their sin. The demons, in fact, differ precisely according to their "sin": there are demons of anger and therefore manifest themselves with anger and fury; demons of despair and therefore always appear sad and hopeless, demons of envy and therefore more than others hate everything around them, including other demons. Then there are the sins dictated by carnal weakness and passions. They are of lesser intensity, because they are dictated by the weakness of the flesh, but they can be equally serious and therefore deadly for the soul, because they still deform the spirit and move away from grace. These are precisely the sins that most drag souls to Hell, as Mary said to the three seers of Fatima. "Watch and pray not to fall into temptation, the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26,41).
