Near Death Experience Leads Priest to Transcendent Journey In Heaven!

Join this channel to get access to perks:

In 1977 Fr. Cedric Pisegna had two near-death experiences. Not only did he come back to tell us what will happen to each of us when we cross into the afterlife, but he also had a life-transforming throne room encounter where he was bathed in God's radiant glory. The things he saw in Heaven led him to profess vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience as well as become a Catholic priest. You don't want to miss this life-changing story.

Thanks so much for sharing, I have no doubt that it's all true. I've also been born again with a somewhat similar story. I was raised Catholic, always prayed, studied my bible, occasionally went to church, etc., but I also lived more as the world than as Christ, very hateful at times with little empathy, often in the bars, etc, etc.. For years I'd been having nightmares of being surrounded by snakes, falling, or that my party friends were out to kill me. In 2014 I was 42, recently divorced, having more relationship problems, life was getting rough. One night I was very upset & recognized that my ways weren't working, it was as a cycle that always ended in failure. I told God that "I give in, I'm totally yours, I'll try to do whatever you want of me", not having a clue what that might mean. I was laying in bed at the time & too upset to sleep. About an hour later I was still laying there thinking about all that had me upset. I noticed every time I closed my eyes I was seeing myself in a dark hellish place surrounded by demons (my demons/sins it seems). This continued until I became quite terrified. At that point I began seeing Jesus on a cross in the middle of a thunderstorm. I begged him to save me & take the demons away. Then I noticed that I was laying in bed in the crucifix position. He took the demons away & there was peace, but then this repeated 3 times, as if symbolic of his 3 days in the grave. Also while in this hellish place I saw robots, I believe they were a symbolic reference to those whose minds have been programmed by the world, rather than by Christ. After the 3rd time I had peace, but now a big book came down & was opened on the table in front of me. The book somewhat scared me, I tried, but could not make out what was written. Then the book slammed shut & went up into the sky. I believe it was either the Lamb's Book of Life or the book containing the last of my old life. Now I saw an old map & beside it I saw signs & symbols. I was shown this several times & I believe it was to show me that my life has a path which has been mapped out & I would have signs/symbols to help me along the way. (This has came true as the holy spirit has made see signs in everything as well as have symbolic dreams all the time, which I usually understand after a little time & prayer). Next I was take above a forest & up into the sky. I saw the light & headed towards it. The light appeared as bright as lightning, but when I got near it I stopped & it dimmed so that I could see. It appeared to be like a sphere or circle with what I believed to be spirits flying in & out making up the shape. I believed it to be the outside of heaven, but perhaps it was what some call the tunnel, I don't know. I wanted to go in of course, but I had this thought that if I went in I couldn't come back & I'd be found dead in my bed & my young daughter would have no father. I decided to decline heaven at that time & I opened my eyes to assure that I was still alive. I closed my eyes to see if there was anything new & this time I found myself in a big banquet hall full of people whom I didn't know, but they were congratulating me, I believe for making an unselfish decision & passing a test. Now I was taken to a laboratory that was like a "clean room". There were huge air filters & I saw workers wearing special suits to avoid contamination. I noticed that everything in this lab was either baby blue (the color of a boy) or a pinkish/lavender (the color of a girl). I saw that the workers were working on two different things, I believe referencing myself & a woman. That was the end of the vision. The next day the holy spirit began opening my eyes to see things much differently, revealing so much of my sin that I hadn't been able to see & changing my heart. I was humbled to say the least. The next weekend I fasted & prayed, that evening a voice said to me "Nick, Jesus is coming into your house (meaning self) clean it up!" I threw away a carton of cigarettes (28 year habit). I dumped 30 bottles of liquor, 2 cases of beer, & 2 jars of moonshine. I didn't know I had a problem with these things as I was not an alcoholic, only a social drinker, but as I dumped, the holy spirit revealed all the trouble alcohol had caused in my life through the years. I found myself laughing & crying, realizing I had a love/hate relationship. I cried until the moment I drove across town & threw all the bottles into a dumpster, then I dried up & couldn't cry another tear that night. A woman I had been dating called, wanting to meet at a bar to talk, I told her that she & I were to clean up our lives, build a relationship on Jesus & be witnesses of his. Of course she laughed, but soon she called again asking me to hurry & come pick her up, because the people at the bar (my stepmother (the bartender) & her best friend (the owner) wouldn't allow her inside the bar. She was a 38 year old woman, though she'd forgot her ID they knew her & there was really no logical reason to deny her entry other than Jesus. Many other things happened over time with God testing me, such as having me quit my job so that he could get my employer to repent & return to him. His holy spirit spoke quite a bit for awhile, asking questions such as if I would give up all that I have for him. Over the years he has changed me in so many ways, I'm really ashamed at what I once was, & I'm still a work in progress, but so much closer to where I should be. I agree with Father Cedric, I cried & cried off & on for years, perhaps washing away some of the past. I still have dreams guiding me all the time, now rather than being surrounded by snakes, I am at times helping to chase snakes away from others. I work where he tells me to work, so that I can help whomever he wants me to help & I wait for the woman of his choice, as he often shows me that he is still working on her. Another neat thing I recall is two nights in row he gave me what seemed like a type of sleep paralysis. The first night I didn't understand, but the second night I did. I was again laying in the crucifix position, frozen & unable to move. He allowed me to feel some of the love & the sorrow that he had for us as he hung on the cross. Though I felt no pain as he did, I can tell you that his anguish, his love & his sorrow for us was overwhelming.

I asked the Lord to show me a NDE with a Priest who had one! This was everything I had hoped for and I thank you for having Fr. Cedric and thank you Father for a wonderful story of your experience!
I’ve never had an NDE but I firmly believe in them after researching 1000+ NDE’s! Your’s is exactly what I wanted to hear and many thanks….God bless you both…+Fr.James

[Fabicasell]

Thank you Father Cedric ! What an amazing testimony 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[susanchieco]

Thank you, Fr Cedric you are wonderful and inspiration. I appreciate all your programs. I believe you.

[DerGlaetze]

Although I am not a Catholic, I understand completely his admitted difficulty to fully explain God’s love. God bless.

[yahndidee-nay]

When someone has touched God there is definitely a transference of the Heavenly when they speak to the listeners. Thankyou

[joantraywick]

Thank you for sharing your story Father. It’s nice to hear from a Catholic about NDEs and Heavenly visits. Your story touched my heart.
I wish someone would have an experience with our Blessed Mother Mary. I’m anxious to meet her as well! 🥰

[nrwilliams]

Thank you Father Cedric and Sean, (I hope I spelled that right, )for another wonderful testimony. As you were sharing, Father, I thought of many things I could share in response. But since you ended with the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus, I decided that yes, I agree and will share. You don't need to have a near death experience to have a personal relationship with Jesus. But you do need to be born-again. For those who don't know the meaning of born-again, Jesus said to Nicodemus, you must be born of the spirit and believe in Jesus. That is a paraphrase. To ask the Lord Jesus into your heart, to repent of your sins, is the number one starting point. Then everyday, you need to seek the Lord, read the bible, and what I love to do is sing. Our transformation takes a lifetime of doing this. We will be challenged. We will go through hard times. Things will not be easy. Most of us will have financial difficulties. Some of us will make bad choices with our relationships to others and suffer. But in all things, Christ is a real and present in our lives. I love Him more everyday.

[judyswain]

Certainly I experience the majesty and power of God's Holy Spirit through these testimonials!

[mikebaerdc]

Great testimony, I am so happy you were born again and filled with the Holy Spirit through this experience. Thank you for sharing your experience of visiting with God in heaven and enjoying his glory and love up close with that intensity, I love to hear when God allows a person to experience that and return to tell us about it, I can feel it and I look so forward to being there in heaven with our Father in heaven and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and experience their love and glory in person. I experience some of that now, but what you say, and others say who have been with them there is the intensity of their love and glory and the joy we experience there is exceeding abundant above all we can ask or think. We need to repent of any sins and be sanctified and watch for Jesus because he is coming very soon.

Love Fr. Cedric, have scene him many times on EWTN, his talks/lessons are always inspiring. His NDE was amazing to hear, and I am very into NDEs. So, hearing his background and his transformation from a young adult into a Passionate Priest is nothing shy of a miracle and just loved this inteview. Will have to get his book!! God Bless.

[panzergarden]

NDEs are so interesting, especially if told by a trustworthy holy man, such as this Father😊

[ceciliabautista]

I’m excited always whenever Fr Cedric is the guest homilist in the EWTN mass . You’re an amazing and a very inspiring speaker . I don’t want to miss every word you say . God bless you and your holy evangelization.

[genevievemauger]

Everyone should do whatever is necessary to be prepared for their judgement is what I got from this and also how wonderful it will be to feel Gods Glory

[maryreaderblog]

The last five minutes was for me. I have long worried about the fact that I haven't had ANY supernatural experiences of any kind wondering if there was something wrong with my relationship with God and what the Cedric said in those final moments about being blessed by believing and not seeing, really helped!!! I want to get his book but it's SO EXPENSIVE!

[lindapitre]

That is the most beautiful nde I have heard so far

[barbaragermain]

Beautiful Testimony. Thank You for sharing with us.

[lindyloya]
