My Son Carlo Told Me What Purgatory Is Like 3 Days Before He Died

Three days before he died, he told his mother he had seen Purgatory. This is the testimony of Carlo Acutis, shared through the voice of his mother, Antonia Salzano Acutis — not as a story about fame or sainthood, but as a mother’s raw account of watching her fifteen-year-old son die of leukemia. Carlo, the teenager who loved video games and built a website about Eucharistic miracles, spoke with surprising clarity in his final days. He described Purgatory not as punishment, but as mercy. A place of purification. A fire that burns away everything that is not love. He spoke about Heaven. About hope. About souls who depend on our prayers. He asked his mother to return to Confession. To trust God. To not waste her grief. This video is for anyone who: has lost someone they love fears death feels far from God wonders if forgiveness is still possible Carlo’s final words were not only for his mother. They are for all of us. If this message found you, maybe it wasn’t by accident.
