Hell - Heaven's Great Missionary
Hell - Heaven's Great Missionary
The dogma of Hell is under serious attack today, not so much directly, as by not being mentioned at all. Yet, Our Lord Jesus Christ warned about Hell on numerous occasions in the Gospels, as did the Apostles in their Epistles. Our Blessed Mother herself showed the terrifying vision of Hell to three shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. Therefore, we ignore it at our peril.
In this powerful little book, Monsignor Louis Gaston de Ségur sets out to show how the existence of Hell is a truth of common sense that has been held by men from time immemorial. Furthermore, he shows how it is a truth revealed by God and infallibly taught by His Church. Then, he addresses the various punishments of Hell and their eternity, before giving practical guidance on how we can avoid going there.
“Think often and seriously about Hell, its eternal punishments, its voracious flames, and I promise you that you will go to Heaven. Hell is Heaven’s great missionary” (Monsignor de Ségur).
“We congratulate you from the bottom of our heart for ceaselessly fulfilling your role as herald of the Gospel on such a vast scale and with so much success”. Pope Pius IX, Brief to Monsignor de Ségur, March 1876.
