When all is utterly helpless in men’s eyes
To turn to Mary is supremely wise.
The inspiration for this “Resistance” pilgrimage due to take place in two weeks’ time at England’s foremost Marian sanctuary near Norfolk, East England, came directly from words of Our Lady of Akita, spoken in Japan on October 13 in 1973, already 47 years ago. Note the day and month which She chose for her pre-apocalyptic Third Message for the world, given through the humanly deaf Sister Agnes Sasagawa: the day and month of the Great Miracle of Fatima in 1917. In the course of conducting his official investigation into the authenticity of Our Lady’s intervention, the Catholic Bishop of Akita at the time consulted Cardinal Ratzinger who is reported to have said that Akita continued Fatima. In any case in 1982 that bishop, John Shojiro Ito, gave his full official approval to the devotion of Our Lady of Akita. Here is her Third 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 colleagues . . . 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.
The grossly inflated corona-panic of the spring of 2020 together with the threat of its deliberate repetition this autumn and of the intended clampdown of Communism to follow upon the entire world, have given to many people to see more clearly why in 1973 Our Lady of Akita added after Her Message these words: I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Today’s problem of Church and world, caused by human beings, has long been way beyond any solution by mere human beings. If God allows, in Walsingham we shall do exactly what Our Lady asked for, to obtain Her solution, not ours!
