“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I am sending this Bishop (former Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio Diocese over 100 years ago (1891-1908) –Ignatius Horstmann ) back to you, as you were instrumental in his release from Purgatory. He will have much to say to you about the nature of Purgatory itself. Before those who read or hear this message bombard you with questions about deceased relatives and friends, let Me say that it is Heaven who chooses what poor souls visit you, and what knowledge you are given.”

The Bishop comes. He says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Jesus has allowed me to return to you to help the general public understand more about Purgatory itself. Purgatory is a cleansing grace. It is like the Flame of our Mother's Heart–Holy Love. Though it is painful, it cleanses the soul of all that is holding it back from a purer love. These are all venial sins. Or perhaps as in some cases, the soul has led a seriously sinful life, but at the last moment repents, and turning to God's mercy, is saved. Still, all that he has done needs to be atoned for. So then, Purgatory appeases the Heart of Divine Love for all the wounds afflicted upon it in this world.”

“Even the one who sincerely attempts to lead a righteous life may have attitudes that he needs to atone for. Perhaps he is judgmental or unforgiving. He may adopt a negative attitude which does not account for God's grace. He may have deep-seated anger, which lays blame on others for his own faults. What I am saying is that no soul should consider himself exempt from working to overcome his own shortcomings. If you do not work on them here, you will have to work on them in Purgatory. Everyone should look into their own hearts then, and ask for the grace to see their faults as God sees them. This is humility.”

“God alone should make excuses for your faults. Learn to recognize Satan's lies, and do not fall victim to them. You will be given the grace you need to improve–always.”

“It is me–Ignatius (former Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio Diocese over 100 years ago (1891-1908) –Ignatius Horstmann ). Praise be to Jesus.”

“Once again I come to offer instruction on Purgatory. The heart at the time of judgment is judged according to its resemblance to the Heart of Jesus, which is perfect Love and Mercy. Anything that is in the heart at that time which obstructs love and mercy must be purged, so that love and mercy are brought to perfection. Then the soul is worthy of sharing Heaven with his Savior. Here once again, I am speaking, not of serious transgressions, but more so of attitudes.”

“Grudges are the main attitude that holds the soul back in his spiritual progress in this life, and detains him in Purgatory in the next. The Heart of Jesus is forgiveness; therefore, the soul needs to strive to forgive always. Blaming is a symptom of unforgiveness. Modern psychology feeds into this by encouraging children to blame their parents for all their faults or spouses for their failings. It takes great strides in Holy Humility, which is Truth itself, to overcome this pattern of thought in this life. But the human heart, to take on the Heart of Divine Love, must be vested in forgiveness. Only in this way can the soul avert long hours, even years, in Purgatory.”

“I will return.”

The Bishop* comes. He says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Here is the way to avoid a long stay in Purgatory. Always please God and neighbor ahead of self. The soul that becomes self-absorbed–that is, always considering cost to self in every situation–risks having to spend much more time being purified by the flames of love in Purgatory because of his selfish attitudes.”

“Therefore, do not be selfish about the use of your time, money or any spiritual gifts God has given you. Be willing to part with any material goods that are not a necessity. Guide those in Holy Love that God has given you charge over. In humility show gratitude when others do you a favor or compliment you.”

“These things I am telling you today are the fulfillment of the Holy Love Message through Truth and Holy Humility. Remember that anger and impatience, jealousy and avarice, are always signs that you are focusing too much on self. These things should be a signal to you to refocus on God and others.”

“Pray to the poor souls to help you with this.”
