Prayer before waking up in Hell
Here is the Prayer before waking up in Hell after having appeared in the Great Assembly of all men of the Last Judgment before the formidable Tribunal of Our Lord Jesus Christ “O Divine Savior of the world, You have not come to Judge the world but to Save it” by Reverend Father Louis-Pierre-Édouard Debussi (1788-1822), Jesuit Priest attached to the Minor Seminary of Saint-Acheul near Amiens who died at the age of 33 and author of “ New Visits to the Blessed Sacrament or Outpourings of Heart to Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin” from which this prayer is taken
“Non misit Deus filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum: God has not not sent his Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved by Him. O Divine Savior of the world, it is Your beloved disciple, the Apostle and Evangelist of your Love, who makes these sweet Words ring in my ears; and You still say elsewhere: I have not come to Judge the world, but to Save the world: Non veni ut judicem mundum, sed ut sacrificem mundum. Ah! Without doubt, You will Judge Him one Day; and I will have to appear in the Great Assembly of all men before your formidable Tribunal. But here You are my Savior, and from the depths of this Tabernacle You say to me at this moment: My son, I am on earth, I am near you, not to Judge you, but to Save you. O Mercy of my God, at the moment I am, I should have been in Hell, if I had received what I deserved, and here I am still with the hope of Salvation, in the Temple of the Lord, at the foot of his Altar. Holy Altar, is it really You that I see? Crib of my Jesus, do my eyes not deceive me? Am I still allowed to wash my soul in the Sacred Bath of the Blood of Jesus? O my soul, Bless the Lord forever, and let all that is in me exalt his Holy Name; because His Mercy is Great on me, and He has taken me out of the abyss of Hell! What shall I say to You, O Mary, and how shall I express to You the gratitude of my heart? I had fallen asleep in the forgetfulness of my God, in the hatred and offense of my God; and I deserved to wake up in Hell, under the weight of His eternal Justice. However, O Happiness of my soul, O Prodigy of Mercy, waking up in this holy retreat, I find myself at Your feet, O Mother of Goodness, with the sweet Hope that having obtained for me the time necessary to do Penance, You will still obtain for me a lasting Conversion, and Holy Perseverance. O Mary, You can make me Saint; I expect it from you.”
So be it.
