  • I have to chime in as being skeptical but open.  I haven’t looked at it in years so can’t recall why, but I’m not convinced.

    For all the talk of conflagration, I’m absolutely convinced that Fatima was about Vatican II and the infiltration of the papacy by Roncalli.

    Thank you!

Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • There's enough authenticating details around Akita to consider it worthy of belief.

    First, go to Akita. There's pretty much nothing there. I don't mean it's rural (it is), I mean, there's *zero* acknowledgement of what went on there. No mention. No nothing. That the NO Church hasn't called attention to it and built a heretical "church" or shrine there (take a look at what's built at Fatima for pilgrims to see what I'm talking about) and you can't find mention at Akita of one of a handful of Marian Apparitions deemed worthy of belief is ... interesting

    It's clear that whomever would make such a decision (cough cough) prefers Akita stay in obscurity rather than collect that sweet pilgrim luchre

    There's also interesting coincidences surrounding Akita itself, and Akita fits into the strange intertwinement of all the other Apparition coincidences, almost like we're being told something else I've never understood.

    First, the obvious that isn't lost on anyone is that the third Apparition of Our Lady at Akita was on October 13. This is a harrowing message delivered on that date, at least as disturbing as the Third Secret of Fatima.

    Secondly, as had already been mentioned, sister Agnes received an additional message just last year. This, in unprecedented times, pretty much said what we're all seeing.

    Third, Agnes herself, in addition to having grown up infirm, was immobile for like a decade in her youth, and was healed by the waters of *Lourdes* before becoming a religious.

    Agnes was deaf. It's interesting that Knock (1879) was the *silent* Apparition. Knock is 54 days before Oct 13. Almost like you have an opportunity to do a 54 day rosary leading to Oct 13.

    Interesting thing about that 54 day rosary, we have widespread acknowledgement of the 54 day rosary due to little Fortuna Agrelli, who saw Our Lady of Pompeii in 1884, 33 years before Fatima.

    In 2017, 100 years after Fatima, there was a quite large, quite popular solar eclipse on the anniversary of Knock. Knock, the muted (silent) apparition, for some reason mutes the sun itself on the centennial of Fatima, the same Fatima that brought us the Miracle of the Sun.

    Second reminder that Knock's anniversary is 54 days before Oct 13. 54 days to pray a rosary perhaps, as we learned from a child 33 years before Our Lady visited *children* at Fatima.

    33 years before Knock was Our Lady of La Salette, who visited *children* and warned us of attacks on the Church (side note, also encouraged having an image of Joseph as the universal protector of the Church for the coming attacks on the Church, and corruption of the clergy)

    Our Lady spent the 19th century visiting children after She was essentially ignored in 1830 by ecclesiastical authorities telling St Catherine Labouré to basically "pipe down" and forget about it. Our Lady didn't visit another religious after that, just children and young single laity (Our Lady of Zion, Our Lady of Good Help/Wisconsin, and Our Lady of Pellvoisin), those apparaitions to adult laity themselves weirdly being exactly 17 years apart from each other, whatever that's about.

    Not more appearing to religious or laity for Our Lady after St Catherine Labouré for over a century until....Sr Agnes at Akita

    On Oct 13 (think Fatima) Sr Agnes has a horrific vision, the third such vision of the end of the world. The year: 1979, the centennial of Knock.

    So, on the anniversary of Knock during the Fatima centennial, an epic eclipse (muting of the Sun where Fatima is known for the miracle of the Sun), so...what happened on the Knock Centennial on Sept 22, exactly 54 days before Sr Agnes had her horrible vision of fire falling from the sky?
    The Vela incident. What's the Vela incident you say? Well, it was a huge double flash of light in the sky that pretty much got the entire world's attention, especially since pretty much all the authorities agreed it was nuclear.

    The Vela incident is widely believed to be when Israel successfully tested nuclear weapons.

    So yeah, Akita fits right into the web of coincidences between the various apparaitions of Our Lady.
    Wow! Has it ever occurred to you to write a book weaving all of these apparitions together?

  • I found this:


    Only a few Catholics know of Our Lady of Akita but the message, like that of Fatima, is a specific warning of worldwide chastisement. The chastisement threatened is truly terrible – far worse than the possibility of annihilation of several nations prophesied at Fatima. Akita is absolutely consistent with prophecies of Scripture.
    The first message received by Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa on June 6, 1973, was a call for prayer and sacrifice for the glory of the Father and salvation of souls. The second message, August 3, 1973, was for prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices to soften the Father’s anger.
    The third message on October 13, 1973, the actual anniversary of the final visions and miracle of Fatima is as follows:
    Quote
    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 the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. 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 rage especially against 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.
    In his pastoral letter approving the events of Akita as supernatural, the Bishop of Niigata said:
    After the inquiries conducted up to the present day, one cannot deny the supernatural character of a series of unexplainable events relative to the statue of the Virgin honored at Akita (Diocese of Niigata). Consequently I authorize that all of the diocese entrusted to me venerate the Holy Mother of Akita.
    Concerning the messages, His Excellency said:
    As for the content of the messages received, it is no way contrary to Catholic doctrine or to good morals. When one thinks of the actual state of the world, the warning seems to correspond to it in many points.
    His Excellency explained that he had taken eight years to give this judgment because of the importance and the responsibility in question. “The Congregation of the Doctrine for the Faith has given me directives in this sense,” the Bishop said, “that only the bishop of the diocese in question has the power to recognize an event of this kind.
    The events of Akita have been confirmed by definite miracles, two of which are cited by the Bishop in his pastoral letter. While the warning given by Our Lady at Akita is terrible, the message, as the Bishop points out, is basically a repetition of the Message of Fatima. Our Lady stressed the importance of praying the Rosary, and above all of accepting from God whatever He may send in the course of each day—whatever suffering—and to offer it up in reparation for so many sins committed throughout the world at this time. Our Lady begged especially for prayers for bishops, priests, and religious, and for reparation before the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lady said:
    Quote
    I have prevented the coming of calamities by offering to the Father, together with all the victim souls who console Him, the sufferings endured by the Son on the Cross, by His blood and by His very loving Soul. Prayer, penance, and courageous sacrifices can appease the anger of the Father.
    To the little religious community where Our Lady gave the messages, she asked that it “live in poverty, sanctify itself and pray in reparation for the ingratitude and the outrages of so many men.”
    The apparitions and events in Akita, Japan, center around a three foot high statue of Our Lady with a Japanese face in the chapel of the Eucharistic Handmaids of the Sacred Heart. These supernatural happenings also involve Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, one of the Sisters in the convent, to whom Our Lady gave Her messages. Sister had been very ill, requiring about 20 operations. When the apparitions began, she was nearly deaf. On June 12, 1973, when she opened the tabernacle for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a very strong light came from it and filled the entire chapel. This happened for three days. When Sister asked the other Sisters if they had seen anything out of the ordinary, they said no.
    This strong light also came from the tabernacle on the feast of Corpus Christi. When Sr. Sasagawa told the Bishop of Akita (who was visiting the convent on the feast) of this, he advised her to keep it in her heart. On the Vigil of the Feast of the Sacred Heart that same year, Sr. Sasagawa’s guardian angel appeared to her and asked her to pray the Fatima decade prayer* after each decade of the Rosary. In 1973 this prayer was not well known in Japan and Sister had trouble understanding it, but the Sisters began to recite the prayer and it has now spread throughout Japan. (* “O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have the most need of Thy mercy. Amen.”)
    On the same occasion as the apparition of her guardian angel, a wound in the form of a cross appeared in the hollow of Sr. Sasagawa’s left hand and began to bleed. The bleeding ended on the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The following Friday, the wound bled and stopped the next day. This continued for a month. Sister’s guardian angel later spoke to her in chapel. Although nearly deaf, she heard the angel saying: “Pray not only for yourself, but for the people of all nations. The world today is wounding the Sacred Heart of Jesus through so much sin and ingratitude.” After hearing this, Sister heard a voice come from the statue in the chapel:
    Quote
    My daughter, you obeyed me very well; you have renounced everything. This deafness is a great suffering for you. Have patience; you will be healed. It is a trial. Pray in reparation for all people. Pray much for the Holy Father, for the bishops and the priests.
    On July 6, 1973, a bleeding wound appeared on the right hand of the statue of Our Lady in the chapel. On other days, the face of the statue bled. Sister’s guardian angel told her: “This flowing of blood is significant. It will be shed for the conversion of men and in reparation for sins. To the devotion to the Sacred Heart add the devotion to the Precious Blood.” Other messages followed. About a month after seeing the wound in the right hand of Our Lady’s statue, Sr. Sasagawa heard:
    Quote
    My daughter, if you love Our Lord, listen to me. Many people in the world grieve Our Lord. I ask for souls who will console Him, and who will make reparation. The Heavenly Father is preparing a great punishment for the world. Many times I have tried with my Son to soften the anger of the Father. I presented to Him many atoning souls who make reparation by prayers and sacrifices. That is what I ask of you. Honor poverty. Live poorly. You must keep your vows, which are like three nails to nail you to the Cross – the nails of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
    Beginning on September 20, 1973, the statue began to sweat from the face to the feet. Tears began to flow down the face. Also, a very pleasant odor was felt in the chapel. This happened many times in the presence of others, including the Bishop. In all, the statue wept a total of 101 times. On October 13, 1973, Our Lady gave Sister Sasagawa this serious message:
    Quote
    As I said before if mankind does not repent, the Heavenly Father will inflict a very serious punishment on the whole world; a punishment the likes of which has never happened before. Many people will perish. Pray the Rosary often. Only I can prevent the disaster. Whoever entrusts themselves to me will be saved.
    The statue continued to weep and other messages followed. Pilgrims came and many received answers to their prayers. Then, in 1981, Theresa Chon, who was suffering from terminal brain cancer, was miraculously healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Akita. This healing was well docuмented by Fr. Joseph Oh of Seoul, S. Korea.
    In his pastoral letter, Bishop Ito said that it would have been difficult to believe in a message from Our Lady that is so terrible, unless there was overwhelming proof that it was indeed from Her. But he points out that the terrible chastisement of which Our Lady speaks is on the condition: “If men do not repent and do not better themselves…” The Bishop added it is a serious warning, while at the same time one perceives in it the maternal love of Our Lady. In Her message warning the world of the annihilation of a great part of humanity, She said: “The thought of the loss of numerous souls makes me sad.”

    Books are tough undertakings, they require serious focus. Not sure I have it in me. Maybe a pamphlet ;)

  • It strikes me as a bit random.  Why have fire dropping from the sky?  That is just going to kill people randomly without sparing the good ones.  The survivors will be just as perverted, corrupt, stupid and godless as they were before.  There will just be less people.

    If God gets His timing right with 50% of Israel, 20% of Britain and other first world nations catching up on the RONA vaccine numbers, (tested on an aborted baby cellines), He could have a bunch of slavish, anti-Christ government worshipping, mRNA vaccinated trusting fools die from Sepsis because they trusted Pfizer and the massive corporations who coerced them into taking the vaccine.

    This could turn the leftist godless super tanker on a dime.  Think about the reaction if the vaccine turned out to be a ticking time bomb.  People would go nuts and the whole trust the government and trust the science meme would flip.  The conspiracy people who tend far more to be god-fearing would suddenly find they had influence.  The media would be hanged from lampposts (probably by the vaccinated who felt they had nothing to lose)

    There is a very high correlation between the vaccine takers and the useful idiots who prop up the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, and vote for people like Biden.

    It would be very just on so many levels.
    It would tell people NOT to blindly trust the new god of science.
    It would be great revenge for the billion aborted babies.
    Israel would go at a political tangent.  They would be facing a demographic winter.
    It would be like the Sermon on the Mount and The Magnificat.

    He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.

  • Well, anything approved by the Novus Ordo church is suspect.
    Even Bishop Williamson has spoken highly and approves of the messages of Our Lady of Akita.

  • I haven't paid attention to this particular vision; however, if the message is Catholic and a warning, it doesn't go against my logic that God would want to give souls that adhere to the Novus Ordo a message of prayer and grace.

      
    I believe in not judging another's soul; I want to think there are many souls in the state of grace attending a NO parish.  God and God alone know the opportunity He gave each of us to love the Truth and act on this Truth.  This is why we must not judge.

      
    I am sure we are on the brink of chastisement; why not?  God punished the world for its sins previously; the evils of today are overflowing.  Humanity has lost its sense of sin.  
    No, I do not believe VII represents the Church founded by Christ, but I know He died for all. To warn those outside the Church is what I would expect of a Mercyful God. 


    What I wonder mainly about; will we who are in the state of grace recognize the Antichrist?  Or is he here already? If so who is he? 
    Please pray for my soul.

    With all due respect to His Excellency, he also believed that the visions of Dawn Marie were genuine ... as well as Garabandal.  His Excellency seems to really be inclined to believe private revelation.

    Please sure I remember something said.
    Sr. Agnes Sasagawa asked for more urgent prayers and penance. The Amazon Synod had just begun.

    From: https://joyintruth.com/sr-agnes-sasagawa-receives-private-revelation-on-october-6/

    The Virgin Mary
    "Sr. Agnes Sasagawa received a private revelation, apparently from her guardian angel, on October 6, 2019—the very day the Amazon Synod opened.
    By Deacon Frederick Bartels
    15 November 2019

    News is coming in about a private revelation received by Sr. Agnes Sasagawa on October 6, the day the Amazon synod opened. Apparently this message was given by her guardian angel. Recall that in October of 1973, Sr. Agnes received a series of messages at Akita Japan from the Blessed Mother. Now, on the opening day of the Amazon Synod, Sr. Agnes receives another message.
    Given the fact that Pachamama idol worship was tolerated, in some ways perhaps deliberately encouraged, in the very heart of the Church at the Vatican during the synod, both the date of this private revelation and its message is of extreme relevance. Many are noting that the incident at the Vatican was the “golden calf” moment, recalling the OT account of idolatry that took place among the Israelites when Moses had gone up the mountain to receive the tablets of the Decalogue, only to return to find Aaron and the people worshipping a golden calf (see Ex 32).

    As Moses is receiving God’s sacred law on Mount Sinai, written in stone by the very hand of God, the Israelites below that same mountain intentionally abandon God, trading worship of the Creator for worship of a golden calf. They deliberately break the primary precept of the Decalogue, which is: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image” (Ex 20:2-4).
    The First Commandment not only forbids idolatry. It obligates people to love God above all things. The worship of any created thing in God’s place is an abomination. The Pachamama worship that took place at the Vatican is inexcusable. It represented a visible manifestation of loss of faith and an acceptance of rêbêllïon against God and his Truth.
    When Moses was still up on the mountain, God informed him that the people had turned away from him and sacrificed to idols. In God’s anger, he gave this warning:
    “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people; now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them” (Ex 32:9-10).
    When Moses returned and saw the golden calf, his anger “burned hot” as righteous anger. He threw the tablets of stone onto the ground and broke them. He ground the golden calf into powder, “scattered it upon the water, and made the people of Israel drink it” (Ex 32:19-20).
    Now we have idol worship being tolerated, perhaps in some ways encouraged at the Vatican. And we have another private revelation to Sr. Agnes. What’s the connection? Why is this second revelation so serious?
    To answer these questions, let’s take a look at the private revelations Sr. Agnes received in 1973, in Akita Japan. To begin, she received this message from the Blessed Mother:
    Many men in this world afflict the Lord. I desire souls to console Him to soften the anger of the Heavenly Father. I wish, with my Son, for souls who will repair by their suffering and their poverty for the sinners and ingrates.
    Then, on October 13, 1973, which happens to be the anniversary of the Virgin Mary’s apparition at Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun, Sr. Agnes received this message:
    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.
    The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres… churches and altars 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 souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sorrow. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.
    https://joyintruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/dialogue-with-the-saints_350px.jpg[/img][/font][/size][/color]
    As reported by EWTN radio, on the opening day of the Amazon Synod, Sr. Agnes received another private revelation. It seems this revelation was given by her guardian angel or perhaps some other angel. Here’s the focal point of the message, translated into English:
    “Cover in ashes, and please pray the Penitential Rosary every day.” (1)
    In other words, do penance in reparation for the sins of humankind. Pray the Rosary every day. Pray it for the Pope, bishops and priests. Pray it in atonement for the sins of mankind.
    In 1973, the Virgin Mary warned that the work of the devil would infiltrate into the Church. Cardinals will turn against cardinals, bishops against bishops. The Church will be filled with those who accept compromises, who corrupt the gospel and disfigure the truth.
    Sound familiar?
    And, on the opening day of the Amazon Synod, Sr. Agnes is told: “Cover in ashes, and please pray the Penitential Rosary every day.” The timing and context of this messages cannot be coincidental.
    To “cover in ashes” most likely represents acts of penance in reparation for the atrocities of the age, including those going on in the Church. Many of these atrocities involve grave sɛҳuąƖ sins. Sins against marriage and family, sins against the sixth commandment. These sins also include idolatry, the gravest of them all because it often manifests in an open, public, and deliberate display of rejection of God.
    On 13 July at Fatima the Blessed Mother gave the solution to stay the hand of God:
    “Continue to say the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, to obtain the peace of the world and the end of the war, because only she can obtain it.”
    She prophesied that, if men do not repent of their sins, a bloody war would break out during the reign of Pope Pius XI. Since men did not repent nor pray in sufficient numbers, World War II began.
    If men refuse to repent, if we do not arm ourselves with the Rosary as a weapon against evil, if we fail to fast and pray in reparation for the sins of the present age, divine punishment will follow. The Mother of God warned that it will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good and the bad. Neither priests nor faithful will be spared. “The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.”
    It’s as if the hand of God is this moment about to fall. Heaven is warning us. Crying out. Pleading with us to stop sinning. Shouting for repentance before it is too late.
    The question is, will people listen?"

  • churches and altars 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.

    This happened at my Parish Church in the 1960's.

    When I came to Mass with my Dad on a Sunday, the beautiful Altar that was in the sanctuary since the church was built 
    was sitting upside down at the front of the church outside where the people entered at the front doors.  I guess the message is the
    old church with the Latin mass is over and the new era of renewal has begun.
    Inside the church in the middle of the sanctuary was a bare kitchen type of table.  They got rid the altar rails at the
    same time.
    The Sermons were mostly social gospels and very few if anything spiritual.
    This is when I stopped going to mass that lasted several years.

  • Excellent post Xavier!

    “The living will envy the dead”

    Doesn’t sound Novus ordo to me?

    More like a statement the “Ultra-trad” faithful would understand.
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • The message/private revelation that Sr. Agnes Sasagawa received on the opening day of the Amazon synod was very short and simple. It was:

    "Cover in ashes, and please pray the penitential Rosary every day."

    A very simple message, which is somewhat lost in the long commentary from the deacon in the OP.

    How many Catholics, even trads, are willing to pray a penitential Rosary every day? Not many, I would assume. Here's hoping that more will be willing to do so. 

    Thanks for posting this info about Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, Xavier Sem.
