The Revelation Of Sister Josefa Menendez was written by a Spanish nun in the early 20th century, Sister Josefa Menendez. After having lived only four years in a convent before dying at the age of 33….. While there, she felt compelled by God to write down a description of Hell.
According to Sister Menendez, hell is filled with long, dark corridors, eternally burning fires, and any soul condemned to Hell loses the power to feel love, happiness, or anything other than cruelty and misery. In one passage, she wrote about a soul that cried out how it would give anything to be able to love again, to witness even one small act of kindness in the whole of Hell.
Her most haunting passage described a 15 year old girl she saw fall into hell.
“I saw several souls fall into Hell, and among them was a child of fifteen, cursing her parents for not having taught her to fear God nor that there was a Hell. Her life had been a short one, she said, but full of sin, for she had given in to all that her body and passions demanded in the way of satisfaction”…
