"Get Us Out Of Here!"

I just finished reading a book so riveting that I couldn't put it down. 

"Get Us Out Of Here" is a record of interviews with Maria Simma which was written by Nicky Eltz.  For those who have never heard of Maria Simma, she was an Austrian mystic who had the charism of being visited by souls from purgatory who were allowed to make requests of her.  Most of the requests were of masses and prayers and some were for messages to be conveyed to family.

This book was given an imprimatur in its eighth printing (October, 2010).  Which means that there is nothing in the book that is against church teaching.

Here are some excerpts from the book:

Excerpt 1
Maria, what happened the first time a Poor Soul visited you?
             The very first time I woke up because someone was pacing back and forth in my room.  I was never scared easily and really wouldn't be unless someone actually jumped into my face.  So I thought,"Who's this?"  It was a complete stranger walking impatiently back and forth at the foot of my bed and I called out,"Hey! Who are you?"  No answer.  Then I jumped out of bed, ran at him and tried to grab him, calling,"Now see to it that you  get out of here.  Get lost!  There's nothing here of yours!"  But nothing was there!  Then I thought,"I wasn't dreaming.  I saw him, I heard him."
.......
The next day, I quickly went over to my Priest and told him what had happened.  "I don't know what happened to me last night.  Have I gone mad?"  To this he said,"Why should you have gone mad?  If it was to happen again, do not ask,'Who are you?', but rather ask,'What is it that you need from me?'  It could be a Poor Soul."
.......
The next night, there he was again!  This time I did ask,"What is it that you need of me?"  The fellow stopped, turned and looked at me, saying,"Have three Masses celebrated for me: then I will be delivered."  And he disappeared instantly.

Excerpt 2

Is there any official recognition by the Church when it comes to your particular experience?
            I am obedient to my Priest and to my Bishops who have said that as long as everything is theologically correct, as it has been so far, to continue with my apostolate.
            At first, Bishop Wechner did have problems with my being able to get answers for other people.  He called me in to see him and asked me from where these answers came, so I responded exactly the way I had found out myself when all this started.
           Very early on I asked a soul where it was getting the information.  I thought perhaps that it would go out into Purgatory to find the other soul and then ask the second what it needed to be delivered.  But the one in front of me instead answered,"No, all the information that we bring to you comes from and with the permission of the Mother of Mercy."  When the good Bishop heard this he said,"Well, in that case I cannot and will not say anything against it."

What do you mean by the mother of mercy?
           Oh, the Mother of Mercy is one of the many titles given to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus and therefore the mother of all of us.

Excerpt 3

What exactly is the difference between your experience and that of spiritists or so-called mediums or channelers?
           If the public believes only one thing that I say, I would want it to be this.  The difference is very simple and very clear, and we MUST hold to it with ALL SERIOUSNESS.  What happens with spiritists is that they THINK they are calling the souls of the deceased; but if there is any reaction to their calling them, it is ALWAYS and without exception SATAN and his agents who are responding.  Spiritists and channelers are doing something extremely dangerous both to themselves and to the people who go to them for advice.  They are living an enormous pack of lies.  We are NOT permitted to call the deceased!  That is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!  In my case, I NEVER called them, NEVER do and NEVER will.  Jesus has permitted this through His Mother.
           But Satan, of course, can and does copy and fake anything and everything that comes from God.  He monkeys God and monkeys everything God does.  He can copy the souls' voices, and he can copy their looks, but whatever reaction there is, it's ALWAYS from the Evil One.  Don't forget, Satan can even heal, but these healings never last.

Excerpt 3 is supported by so many other sources, among which is the Bible.  Plus a book I read recently written by Father Jose Francisco C. Syquia of the Archdiocese of Manila, Philippines also mentions this very crucial difference.

If someone you know calls souls or spirits, that is a clear sign that what he is doing is NOT good.  It is a signal for all discerning people to quickly distance themselves from the person doing the calling.  It is not worth the risk to your soul.

I tried to find Nicky Eltz's book on local online bookstores but they didn't carry it.  I tried to locate ebook formats but no such luck.  All I have is a photocopy... sigh...
