Friar Daniele Natale is sentenced to 3 hours in purgatory: it felt like 300 years! Our Lady and Padre Pio intercede for your return to earth!
A friend and spiritual son of Padre Pio, Friar Daniele Natale, died and was sentenced to purgatory for "only" three hours and wished to return to earth, obtaining this divine mercy through the intercession of Our Lady of Padre Pio. If he received three hours of condemnation and wished to return to the land of the bottom of his soul to repair his mistakes and get rid of that sentence, imagine the pain of those who receive punishments of tens (or even hundreds of years) to purgatory... (not yet compare the sentence of eternal condemnation to hell).
Friar Daniele was an example of a missionary during The Second World War and a great friend of Padre Pio. But in 1952 he was diagnosed with severe cancer. He went to talk to his friend Padre Pio, who advised him to pray and seek medical help in Rome with Dr. Ricardo Moretti. Arriving there, after inspection of his clinical condition, the doctor hesitated to do the surgery because the chances of the friar would survive, but an inner impulse led him to perform it already the next day.
During the surgical procedure, the friar went into a coma and remained so for three days, until he died. The family began to veil and pray for their loved one. But... three hours later he returned to life and gave a start over the bed in which he was throwing the sheet that covered him up, leaving everyone scared, rushing to get the doctors! Surely the friar would not have come back alone, whose intercession would have been?
As soon as he died, the friar said he stood before God's throne, seeing Him as a great loving Father and not as a stern judge. He realized at that moment that the Father took care of him every day on earth, as if it were his only creation, but that he had not responded to such love.
He then received a three-hour purgatory sentence. He jumped out of happiness: for after "only" three hours he would be eternally with God! But the pains were atrocious and terrible, especially in the senses of the body that most offended God
The friar reported that these three hours seemed to equal him 300 years!
He then received a three-hour purgatory sentence. He jumped out of happiness: for after "only" three hours he would be eternally with God! But the pains were atrocious and terrible, especially in the senses of the body that most offended God.
He realized at one point, then, the presence of the Virgin Mary and Padre Pio. He pleaded with him to return to earth and dedicate his life for God's sake and free him from those flames.
Our Lady and the Saint talked. Then our Mother then turned her face to him with a smile, when she then recovered her life in the hospital. After all the confusion that stayed in the hospital, dr. Ricardo Moretti came near him and told him that he now believes in God and the church, converting.
