             Revelação da vidente Maria Valtorta

 As almas no Céu, apesar de intercederem pelas que estão na Terra, não se entristecem mesmo que virem um parente, filho ou amigo ser condenado, pois a visão de Deus é fonte de alegria infinita

^{[The mother of Judas Iscariot and disciple of Jesus, Mary of Simon – referring to what Jesus said earlier, that many women will be remembered through their heroism, for having managed to snatch Satan's prey – asks Jesus:]} Judas’ mother, who is still full of anguish asks: «And if she should not succeed, although she is willing, what will her destiny be?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «As her good soul deserves.»
^{[Maria de Simão says:]} «Heaven? But, Lord, a wife, a sister, or a mother who should fail in saving those whom she loves and should see that they are damned, could she enjoy Paradise, even if she were in Paradise? Do You not think that she will never be able to rejoice because… the flesh of her flesh and the blood of her blood have deserved eternal damnation? I think that she will not be able to rejoice seeing her beloved ones in dreadful pain…»
^{[Jesus says:]} «You are wrong, Mary. The vision of God, the possession of God are the sources of such infinite beatitude that no grief can exist for the blessed souls. While they are active and diligent in helping those who can be saved, they no longer suffer for those who are separated from God, and consequently from themselves who are in God. The Communion of saints is for the saints.»
^{[Peter the apostle says:]} «But if they help those who can still be saved, it means that those who are helped are not yet saints»
objects Peter.
^{[Jesus says:]} «But they have a will, at least a passive will, to be saints. The saints of God help also in material needs, to make them pass from a passive to an active will. Do you understand Me?»
^{[Peter says:]} «I do and I don’t. For instance, supposing I were in Heaven and I saw, let us say, a fleeting kind attitude in… Eli, the Pharisee, what would I do?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «You would find all the means to increase his kind attitude.»
^{[Peter says:]} «And if it did not help in any way? Then?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «Then, if he were damned, you would be unconcerned about him.»
^{[Peter says:]} «And if he deserved to be damned, as he does now, but he were dear to me – which will never be the case – what should I do?»
^{[Jesus says:]} «First of all, you had better know that you are in danger of being damned by saying that he is not dear to you and never will be; secondly you must know that, if you were in Heaven, you would pray for him and for his salvation, until the moment of his judgement. There will be souls that will be saved at the last moment, after a whole life of prayer for them.»
