Portuguese nun Maria had a near-death experience where she met Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) and reviewed her life. She realized with sorrow that she had prayed more to saints than to Lord Jesus, trusted priests instead of seeking God directly, and followed church rules without asking what God really wanted her to do. Lord Jesus showed her three visions: religious people focused on rituals but not knowing Him, priests lacking true spiritual connection, and people worshipping saints while ignoring Lord Jesus. She also saw a dark abyss full of lost souls— devout but misled— who followed religion, not Christ. Lord Jesus sent her back to share this warning: only a true inner connection with the Son of God can save us (Bí Mật Tạo Hoá)
