Find the new confessions of Natuzza Evolo: "I have seen the souls, this is how the afterlife is"

In this article I want to share a very beautiful testimony issued by a priest on the confessions of Natuzza Evolo. Paravati's mystique was visited by the Souls of Purgatory and they often had talks with each other so she had a clear concept of what life was like in the afterlife.

In this article taken from the pontifex site we report what was written by Don Marcello Stanzione on the experiences of Natuzza Evolo, mystic of Paravati, who has been missing for some years now, on the afterlife told by the souls who visited it in spirit. Many years ago I was talking to a well-known charismatic priest who had founded an ecclesial group recognized by some bishops. We started talking about Natuzza Evolo and, to my surprise, the priest said that, according to him, Natuzza was doing cheap spiritism. I was very upset by this statement, for a form of respect I did not answer the famous priest but, in my heart, I immediately thought that this serious statement arose from a non-noble form of envy towards a poor illiterate woman to whom thousands of people turned every month always getting relief in the soul and body. Over the years I tried to study Natuzza's relationship with the deceased and I fully realized that Calabrian mystique was absolutely not to be considered a "medium". In fact, Natuzza does not invoke the dead asking them to come to her and ... ... the souls of the dead appear to her not by her decision and will, but only by the will of the souls themselves thanks obviously to divine permission. When people asked her to have messages or answers to their questions from their deceased, Natuzza always replied that their desire did not depend on her, but only on the permission of God and invited them to pray to the Lord so that this their wishful thinking was granted. The result was that some people received messages from their dead, and others were not answered, while Natuzza would have liked to please everyone. However, the guardian angel always informed her if such souls in the afterlife more or less needed suffrages and holy Masses. In the history of Catholic spirituality apparitions of souls from Heaven, Purgatory and sometimes even from Hell have taken place in the lives of numerous mystics and canonized saints. As for Purgatory, we can among the numerous mystics, remember: St. Gregory the Great, from which the practice of the Masses celebrated below for a month, called "Gregorian Masses", is derived; St. Geltrude, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Margaret of Cortona, St. Brigida, St. Veronica Giuliani and, closer to us, also St. Gemma Galgani, St. Faustina Kowalska, Teresa Newmann, Maria Valtorta, Teresa Musco, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, Edwige Carboni, Maria Simma and many others. It is interesting to underline that while for these mystics the apparitions of the souls of Purgatory had the aim of increasing their own faith and spurring them to greater prayers of suffrage and penance, so to hasten their entry into Paradise, in the case of Natuzza, instead, obviously, in addition to all this, this charisma has been granted to her by God for a broad activity of consolation of the Catholic people and in a historical period in which, in catechesis and homiletics, the theme Purgatory is almost completely absent, to strengthen in Christians the faith in the survival of the soul after death and in the commitment that the militant Church must offer in favor of the suffering Church. The dead confirmed to Natuzza the existence of Purgatory, Heaven and Hell, to which they were sent after death, as a reward or punishment for their conduct of life. Natuzza, with his visions, confirmed the pluri-millennial teaching of Catholicism, that is that immediately after death, the soul of the deceased is led by the guardian angel, in the sight of God and is perfectly judged in all the smallest details of his existence. Those who were sent to Purgatory always requested, through Natuzza, prayers, alms, suffrages and especially Holy Masses so that their penalties were shortened. According to Natuzza, Purgatory is not a particular place, but an inner state of the soul, who does penance "in the same earthly places where he lived and sinned", therefore also in the same houses inhabited during life. Sometimes souls make their Purgatory even inside churches, when the phase of greatest expiation has been overcome. Our reader should not be surprised at these statements by Natuzza, because our mystique, without knowing it, repeated things already affirmed by Pope Gregory the Great in his book of Dialogues. The sufferings of Purgatory, although alleviated by the comfort of the guardian angel, can be very harsh. As evidence of this, a singular episode happened to Natuzza: she once saw a deceased and asked him where he was. The dead man replied that he was in the flames of Purgatory, but Natuzza, seeing him serene and calm, observed that, judging by his appearance, this did not have to be true. The purging soul reiterated that the flames of Purgatory carried them wherever they went. As he uttered these words she saw him enveloped in flames. Believing that it was his hallucination, Natuzza approached him, but was hit by the heat of the flames which caused her an annoying burn to the throat and mouth that prevented her from feeding normally for forty days and was forced to seek treatment Dr. Giuseppe Domenico valente, doctor of Paravati. Natuzza has met numerous souls both illustrious and unknown. She who always said she was ignorant also met Dante Alighieri, who revealed that she had served three hundred years of Purgatory, before being able to enter Heaven, because although she had composed the songs of the Comedy under divine inspiration, unfortunately she had given space, in his heart, to his own personal likes and dislikes, in awarding the prizes and penalties: hence the punishment of three hundred years of Purgatory, however spent at the Prato Verde, without suffering any other suffering than that of the lack of God. Numerous testimonies have been collected on the encounters between Natuzza and the souls of the suffering Church. Professor Pia Mandarino, from Cosenza, recalls: “Following the death of my brother Nicola on January 25, 1968, I fell into a state of depression and lost my faith. I sent to Padre Pio, whom I had known some time before: "Father, I want my faith back." For reasons unknown to me I did not immediately receive the Father's reply and, in August, I went to visit Natuzza for the first time. I said to her: "I don't go to church, I don't take Communion anymore ...". Natuzza chuckled, stroked me and said to me: “Don't worry, the day will soon come when you can't do without it. Your brother is safe, and has made a martyr's death. Now he needs prayers and is in front of a picture of the Madonna, kneeling, praying. He suffers because he is on his knees. " Natuzza's words reassured me and, some time later, I received, through Padre Pellegrino, the reply of Padre Pio: "Your brother has been saved, but he needs suffrages". The same answer from Natuzza! As Natuzza had predicted me, I went back to faith and to the frequency of the Mass and the sacraments. About four years ago I learned from Natuzza that Nicola went to Heaven, immediately after the first Communion of his three grandchildren who, in San Giovanni Rotondo, offered their first Communion for his uncle ". Miss Antonietta Polito di Briatico on Natuzza's relationship with the afterlife bears the following testimony: “I had a quarrel with a relative of mine. A short time later, when I went to Natuzza, she put her hand on my shoulder and said to me: "Did you get into a fight?" "And how do you know?" “That person's (deceased) brother told me. He sends you to try to avoid these quarrels because he suffers from them. " I hadn't mentioned Natuzza about this at all and she couldn't have known it from anyone. Exactly named me the person I had argued with. Another time Natuzza told me about this same deceased that he was happy because his sister had ordered him to have Gregorian masses. "But who told you that?" He asked, and she: "The deceased". Long before, I had asked her about my father, Vincenzo Polito, who died in 1916. she asked me if I had a picture of her, but I said no, because at that time they weren't doing it yet, with us. The next time I went to her, she informed me that she had been in heaven for a long time, because she went to church morning and evening. I didn't know about this habit, because when my father died I was just two years old. then my mother asked me to confirm it ". Mrs. Teresa Romeo of Melito Portosalvo said: “On September 5, 1980 my aunt died. On the same day as the funeral, a friend of mine went to Natuzza and asked for news of the deceased. "She's safe!", He replied. When forty days had passed, I went to Natuzza, but I had forgotten about my aunt and had not brought her photo with me to show it to Natuzza. But this one, as soon as she saw me, said to me: “O Teresa, do you know who I saw yesterday? Your aunt, that old woman who died last (Natuzza had never known her in life) and said to me “I am Teresa's aunt. Tell her that I am happy with her and with what she has done for me, that I receive all the suffrages she sends me and that I pray for her. I purified myself on earth. " This aunt of mine, when she died, was blind and paralyzed in bed. " Ms. Anna Maiolo residing in Gallico Superiore says: "When I went to Natuzza for the first time, after the death of my son, she said to me:" Your son is in a place of penance, as will happen to all of us. Blessed is he who can go to Purgatory, because there are some who go to Hell. He needs suffrages, he receives them, but he needs many suffrages! ". I then had various things done for my son: I had many masses celebrated, I had a statue of Our Lady Help of Christians made for the Sisters, I bought a chalice and a monstrance in his memory. When I returned to Natuzza she said to me: "Your son doesn't need anything!". "But how, Natuzza, the other time you told me that he needed a lot of suffrages!". "All you have done is enough!", He replied. I had not informed her of what I had done for him. Always Ms. Maiolo testifies: “On December 7, 1981, the eve of the Immaculate Conception, after the Novena, I returned to my home, accompanied by a friend of mine, Mrs. Anna Giordano. In church I prayed to Jesus and Our Lady, saying to them: "My Jesus, my Madonna, give me a sign when my son enters heaven". Arriving near my house, while I was about to greet my friend, suddenly, I saw in the sky, above the house, a luminous globe, the size of the moon, which moved, and disappeared in a few seconds. It seemed to me that it had a blue trail. "Mamma mia, what is it?" Exclaimed Signora Giordano, as afraid as I am. I ran inside to call my daughter but the phenomenon had already stopped. The next day I called the Reggio Calabria Geophysical Observatory, asking if there had been any atmospheric phenomenon, or some large shooting star, the night before, but they said they hadn't observed anything. "You saw a plane," they said, but what my friend and I had seen had nothing to do with planes: it was a bright sphere similar to the moon. The following December 30 I went with my daughter to Natuzza, I told her the fact, and she explained to me thus: "It was a manifestation of your son who entered heaven". My son had died on November 1, 1977 and had therefore entered heaven on December 7, 1981. Before this episode, Natuzza had always assured me that he was fine, so much so that, if I had seen him in the place where he was, I would certainly have said to him: "My son, stay there too" and that he always prayed for my resignation . When I said to Natuzza: "But she had not yet confirmed", she approached me, and speaking to me with her face, as she does, with the brightness of her eyes, she replied: "But it was pure in heart!". Professor Antonio Granata, professor at the University of Cosenza, brings his other experience with the Calabrian mystic: "On Tuesday 8 June 1982, during an interview, I show Natuzza the photographs of two of my aunts, named Fortunata and Flora, who died for a couple of years and to which I have been very fond. We exchanged these sentences: “These are two of my aunts who have been dead for a few years. Where are?". "I'm in a good place." "I'm in heaven?". “One (indicating Aunt Fortunata) is in Prato Verde, the other (indicating Aunt Flora) is kneeling before the painting of the Madonna. However, both are safe. " "Do they need prayers?" "You can help them shorten their waiting period" and, foreseeing my further question, he adds: "And how can you help them? Here: reciting some Rosary, some prayers during the day, making some communion, or if you do some good work you dedicate it to them ".
