"The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness."

-Our Lady in her apparitions at Akita, Japan

We should keep in mind that usually people die as they live. Most people today are far from God. About 6,300 people die each hour. The likelihood that some of those souls end up in Hell is really a certainty, though the numbers are a guess. But if it was "many souls" in 1917, it is surely not less worse now. 

This is a tragic concurrence of facts, but knowing important facts is not a doom and gloom thing. It's also deadly to run into a highway, and one should tell one's kids not to go there, and if there is a fire and people are trapped, it is not doom and gloom to say there are people in the house on fire and we must run in to save them if possible or they will die. This is an act of charity. 

So it is with so many souls in danger of going to Hell. Their home, so to speak, for many, is on fire. But we can rush in with Mary to save at least some of them. Pray the Rosary, make sacrifices, however small, strive for sanctity, and console Mary, which also consoles her little Son.
