There is, among mystics of our times, a striking parallelism in the messages conveyed in Marian apparitions in Garabandal, Akita, Medjugorje, Kibeho, and several others: conditional prophecies on three successive events, namely, the Warning, the Miracle and, finally, the Chastisement.
These events have become so familiar to people keeping tabs on Marian apparitions that they are in capitals, as in proper nouns.
I strongly feel the Warning, which this space had dwelt on, is not far off. Events that mystics have described as foreboding of it are here: strange weather, strange assorted phenomena all over the world and even stranger mankind. Exactly when, I would not venture even rough calculation.
The categorical statement of a Garabandal visionary is that the Miracle would follow the Warning within a year, so there’s no question on approximately when the Miracle would happen.
As for the Chastisement, only the daring are inclined to forecast. It is such a severe event, as revealed in some recent Marian apparitions, as to pose widespread belief that God would let it loose only after giving mankind even more time to change for good.
In Medjugorje, the Blessed Virgin Mary knew that for humans to reform, it is important to convince themselves first that God exists. Thus, she once declared there as follows: “I came to tell you that God exists …
God sends me to you out of love that I may help you to comprehend that without Him there is no future or joy, and above all, there is no eternal salvation … through prayer you may become friends of Jesus …
Without love you can not pray. That is why I am calling you to love God, the Creator of your lives, above everything else … Dear children! Pray, Pray, Pray!"
Nevermind the lingering controversy on what exactly was the Fatima third secret amid some who insist what Vatican had revealed of it was incomplete.
Those who insist the third secret was more awful would have their curiosity filled beyond adequacy if they jump to the statements of the Blessed Mother to Japanese nun Sr. Agnes Sasagawa in Akita, Japan in 1973.
The words of the Mother of God: “If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before.
Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.
The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the Bishops and the priests.
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see Cardinals opposing Cardinals, Bishops against other Bishops.
The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked.
The Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
“The demon will be especially implacable against the souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them.
“Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able to still save you from the calamities which approach.
Those who place their confidence in me will be saved.”
