In this Lenten reflection, we share a powerful Catholic story of repentance, mortal sin, and Marian mercy.
One night, a young man was shown hell. His companion was damned — but through a few Hail Marys to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he was spared. That moment of mercy led to total conversion… and eventually to martyrdom by fire for Jesus Christ.
This episode explores the power of the Hail Mary, devotion to Our Lady, spiritual warfare, true repentance, and what it means to choose Christ over comfort during Lent. Featuring reflection from St. Alphonsus Liguori’s The Glories of Mary, this story reminds us that Marian devotion is not sentimental — it is salvation.

St. Lucy of Syracuse lived in 3rd-century Sicily during the Roman persecutions of Christians. When ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods, she refused. Ancient Christian tradition recounts that soldiers attempted to drag her away, yet she stood unmoved. Her body could be bound, but her will remained free.
