Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich on “The Church of Darkness”

Br Alexis Bugnolo has been doing this (not limited to 3 Our Fathers only) for quite some time now, and it is livestreamed on youtube.
Our Lady Of Santa Maria Maggiore is known in Rome as Salus Populi Romani.

From his website:

Perpetual Supplica
THESE PRAYERS ARE SAID EACH MIDNIGHT
IN FRONT OF THE BASILICA OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE AT ROME

This devotion is inspired by the request made by Our Lady Herself in
Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s Vision of

August 25, 1822: “I know not now how I went to Rome last night, but I found myself near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Around it I saw crowds of poor, pious souls, in great distress and anxiety on account of the Pope’s disappearance and the agitation and alarming reports throughout the city. Led by one common impulse, they had come to invoke the Mother of God. They did not expect to find the church open, they intended only to pray outside. But I was inside, I opened the door and they entered, astounded at the door’s opening of itself. I was standing aloof where they could not see me. There was no service, only the chancel-lamps were burning, and the people knelt in quiet prayer. Then the Mother of God appeared. She said that great tribulations were at hand; that the people must pray earnestly with extended arms, if only for the length of three Our Fathers, for it was thus that her Son had prayed for them upon the Cross; that they should rise at midnight to pray thus; that they should continue to come to Her church which they would always find open; and that they should, above all, pray for the extirpation of the Church of Darkness. … I know not whether the people saw the apparition or not, but they must have been impressed by something supernatural for, when the Blessed Virgin said they should pray to God with arms extended, all lifted up their arms … It seemed to be an association of prayer.” From this time Sister Emmerich assisted nightly at the pious exercises at Santa Maria Maggiore.

Did you know that Brother Alexis is not affiliated with any order?

 

Sg, because of his background and how he is presenting himself now, I can’t put any credence in him. Imho, it’s very dangerous to put oneself out there as a religious brother without any monastic ties. I would tread very carefully and pray for discernment.

 

Yea it appears so. It would be good to know the German original term used, maybe a more fitting translation could then be provided.

 

According to other reports (not dismissed by Malachi martin who was there) he fainted.

 

If I remember correctly, Malachi Marchi explicitly said that Pope John disobeyed Our Lady, ignored her mandate (I believe that´s the word he used) and chose not to disclose the secret.

Archbishop Vigano recently also stated that the third secret was not fully disclosed.

 

Yep.
