I found the following conversation between our brothers Mac (Luke) R.I.P and garabandal on an old thread in 2015: http://motheofgod.com/threads/sister-agnes-sasagawa-akita.7013/ +
An excerpt from the link Blizzard posted. There was more to her Oct. 13 apparition at Akita. Our Lady actually began what she told Sr. Agnes with these words: As I told you, 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 priests. I can hardly imagine what this will look like, although she has said we will not have the Blessed Sacrament. I am left with only one image or event which would be that devastating.
I don't think many Catholics begin to know or understand why Our Lady of Fatima insisted to "pray the rosary daily" and our Lady of Akita said, "the only arms which will remain for you will be the rosary and the sign left by my son". Heaven has given us the recipe for over 100 years. Pope St. John Paul and St. Mother Teresa and St. Padre Pio all surely understood the power of the rosary, as they always had it in their hand in prayer. How is it, that so few even know how to pray the rosary in our Catholic faith today? Our bishops and priests have let the church down in not speaking to his great most powerful weapon, but boy can they sure speak about social justice issues. No wonder we are in the pickle we are in today!
I will say, in my current bulletin and that of my previous parish, there is always a reminder the Rosary is prayed 30 minutes before Sunday Mass.
What I bolded in blue just blows me out of the water!! So hard to wrap my head around what the means and implies. If we are to take that literally and figuratively...!!!! That is pretty scarey stuff for a LOT of people. Clearly all of this was anticipated by God long before Vat II (Fatima, Guadalupe, La Salette etc). Looking at the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, there is a much deeper relationship than so many of us realize. call a spade a spade - so much evil interfering. Yet so much GOOD - No doubt that is why Our Mother has been sent all this time with all these warnings. Yet soooo many don't believe the warnings enough to spread the info so others at least with open hearts will know. It is all interrelated. I'm so glad my daily work and activities can be offered up as sacrifice and penance!! All my efforts, successes and shortcomings for my sins, family's conversion, all ordained. That is what the Morning Offering is all about.
As I take it, our rosary will be are weapon against all evil from man, devil, beast, weather and environment. The scapular will be our shield. Both essential in our journey henceforth. We have an idea about this, with the protection the 8 Jesuits had in Hiroshima when the nukes fell just blocks away from where they stayed and they were spared because they prayed the rosary daily as our lady of Fatima requested.
I had gone for a retreat a year ago & there's a charismatic priest who has received many apparations of Mother Mary & Jesus Christ. A lot of healings & personal intentions of the devotees are fulfilled here at this place with many also having apparations. A small verse of prayer given by the Mother of God to recite on the beads of rosary or you can say it daily has been given to this priest & would love to share here: " Oh Mary, undoer of knots we love Jesus through your heart!"
Will the pope and bishops save us from a coming chastisement? Posted on August 12, 2019 by Fr. Regis Scanlon Prologue : Fifty years ago, if you told Catholics that “cardinals would oppose cardinals and bishops would oppose bishops” in the Catholic Church, few would believe it. Now is has come true. Bishops and cardinals questioning teachings held since the beginning of the Church. What’s even harder to believe, it was all predicted in two separate Marian apparitions. One is the famous Fatima apparition to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, in 1917 at Fatima, Portugal and the other an apparition to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa at Akita, Japan in 1973. Here is more background about Fatima and Akita . We can trust both apparitions. All the popes since Pius XII have accepted the message of Our Lady of Fatima. And the message to Sr. Agnes is the same as that which was told to the three children of Fatima. This was verified by Cardinal Ratzinger, the head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, when he met with Bishop John Ito, the ordinary of Sr. Agnes. While Cardinal Ratzinger did not officially approve of the messages of Our Lady at Akita (it would have taken years to do so), “he did not object to the pastoral letter which Bishop Ito wrote in 1984” which stated about Akita that “It is the message of Fatima.” This is very important since Cardinal Ratzinger, the future Benedict XVI, knew the contents of the Fatima Message, including the famous Third Secret. If the Akita message was not the same as that of Fatima, the Cardinal would have objected to Bishop Ito’s publication of it as such. Our Lady Fatima said that Catholics must pray the daily Rosary and do penance so that people will stop offending God. Our Lady told little Jacinta that “the sins of the flesh” were the most frequent sins committed by people leading them to eternal punishment. If God was offended by these sins in 1917, how much more is He offended today? In 1917, it’s fair to say that “the sins of the flesh” were considered deviant behavior, but today the situation is far worse, because those sins, including pornography, masturbation, contraception, fornication, adultery and sodomy, are considered normal behavior. And, abortion, which is often done to cover up the “sins of the flesh,” was considered rare in 1917, but just from 1980 until today the global number of babies that have been aborted is 1.5 billion. The point here is that mankind has not only refused to repent of its “sins of the flesh,” it has even doubled down by expanding these sins in both kind and number exponentially. Our Lady warned of horrible events if people didn’t repent of these sins. Bishops opposing bishops and cardinals opposing cardinals is only the beginning. At both Fatima and Akita the warning is: If the chief rulers of the world and of the Church will not oppose these evils, God will allow a punishment in which “millions upon millions will die from one hour to another” and “wipe out a great part of humanity.” This may seem harsh and extreme but it is merely the modern application of Scripture where St. Paul teaches in Rm. 1:18-32 and Eph. 5:3-6 that “the wrath of God” is being poured out upon those who practice “unnatural sexual relations” and “impurity.” So, what’s coming for the world and the Church? The Signs of the Times While we should not recklessly seek signs from God, when convoking Vatican II in Humanae Salutis, Pope St. John XXIII referred to Sacred Scripture by asserting that it is wise to be able to read the “signs of the times” (Mt. 16:3). After all, if God does offer a sign to us, there could be serious consequences if we do not recognize and heed it. So, what are the “signs of the times” for us in this second decade of the third millennium? The day of the year, Oct. 13, mysteriously connects several events of the past and future. First of all, on Oct. 13 1884 Pope Leo XIII received a locution after Holy Communion. He overheard in this locution a dialogue between God and Satan reminiscent of the dialogue between God and Satan found in the book of Job 1:6-12. During this dialogue, Pope Leo XIII heard what he believed to be the voice of Satan challenging God by saying that he can destroy the Church if he had 100 years and the power. God permitted Satan the 100 years and the power probably to manifest His own power and glory. Following this Pope Leo XIII composed the famous prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to defeat Satan. Satan began his assault on Oct. 13, 1917 with the Bolshevik Revolution and atheistic Communism. We can pinpoint this date because years later, Leon Trotsky opened his “Prinkipo Letter” by saying that “The still isolated October Revolution now completes its fifteenth year” and he dated this Letter Oct. 13, 1932. However, on the same day as the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution, Oct. 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared at Fatima to warn the Church of Satan’s plan. She said that if the Church and leaders of nations did not oppose the sins of the flesh and the evils being spread by Russia, many nations would be annihilated and many souls would go to eternal punishment. To convince people that her message could be trusted, God worked a sign at Fatima, the famous the miracle of the sun. Then, on Oct. 13, 1973, Our Lady appeared to Sr. AgnesSasagawa. In the 1970’s, the rejection of traditional morality was rapidly becoming the norm. In 1973, abortion was approved as a constitutional “right” in the United States. Clearly, the warning of Fatima was being ignored by mankind. So once again Our Lady intervened to emphasize once again the necessity that God must be obeyed or there would be a punishment for the world. At this apparition the statue in the chapel, where Sr. Agnes prayed, shed tears 101 times because of the great number of souls going to eternal punishment. The message was to pray the rosary and do penance to prevent souls from going to eternal punishment. The question is, why is the hierarchy of the Church not responding more forcefully to these clear warnings from God through our Lady especially since the number of people doing abortions and sins of the flesh is far from shrinking. Another question: if these “Oct. 13” markers are important, then shouldn’t the end of the 100-year period given to Satan to destroy the Church have occurred on Oct. 13, 2018? I would answer that question this way. While this is speculative, I think it’s important to note that one of those years during this 100-year period was an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy . This was a Roman Catholic period of prayer held from 8 December 2015, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, to 20 November 2016, the Feast of Christ the King to obtain God’s Mercy. Pope Francis hoped that during this “extraordinary time of grace” “We will entrust the life of the Church, all humanity, and the entire cosmos to the Lordship of Christ, asking him to pour out his mercy upon us like the morning dew.” In fact, while every Holy Year of Jubilee is related to obtaining God’s Mercy in some way or another, this was the only Holy Year which was explicitly labeled as an “Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy” since Pope Boniface VIII inaugurated the Holy Years of Jubilee in the 1300’s. Clearly, “it is ‘innovative’ in that there has never before been a Jubilee Year dedicated to ‘mercy.’ So, it is unprecedented.” Continue here: http://frregisscanlon.com/index.php...pope-and-bishops-save-us-from-a-chastisement/
Maybe we need to rethink what was meant by "annihilated". I know I've been thinking one thing all this time and have been puzzling over it every time I read that. It suddenly dawns on me, our Mother no doubt meant destroyed by communism. This is ongoing!
Hmmm not so sure. Communism has made inroads in our societies. But can we say that ANY nation has been annihilated, obliterated, ceased to exist so that nothing remains since these prophecies were given? I think these events lie in the future. Here´s the Webster definition: annihilate verb an·ni·hi·late | \ ə-ˈnī-ə-ˌlāt \ annihilated; annihilating Definition of annihilate transitive verb 1a : to cause to cease to exist : to do away with entirely so that nothing remains b : to destroy a considerable part of Bombs annihilated the city. The enemy troops were annihilated.
Not completely destroyed, no. But overrun with communism, sure. That is what keeps giving me pause. Of course with a coming chastisement, complete destruction could well be visible.
