At the funerals we attend, hell is rarely mentioned. A convent cook with three years of schooling wrote down what she believed that silence costs us, in a vision she said she was ordered to record.

This video looks at what Saint Faustina claimed she saw, and one detail about the souls there that rarely gets talked about: most of them, she wrote, had never believed hell existed at all. We walk through her diary alongside Jesus's own parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the Fatima children's vision of hell in 1917, and Saint Teresa of Avila's account of a similar warning in her autobiography. Three witnesses, centuries apart, all describing the same fear, and all responding to it the same way: not with despair, but with a deeper tenderness toward the people they loved.
