The Punishments of the Damned and Mary’s Intercession

95) And when Michael got up, the Lord said, “Arise, apostles, and see what is.” And then they saw a man in whose mouth was a flaming razor, which burned, and he was not able to speak. Then Mary and the apostles cried out, saying, “Who is this man who is in torment?” And he said, “He is a reader, who spoke glorious words, and he did not do [them]. Because of this, he is in great torment.” And then they saw another person who had been led from afar, with a great punishment of fire in his hand, and he was not allowed to speak. And young children were biting him on his sides, with many others. And the apostles said, “Who is this one who does not receive mercy, while there is fire in his hands, and they bring him and bite him?”
