Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel - St. Michael’s Catholic Church _____________ - On June 13, 1917, Our Lady told Sr. Lúcia: ”Jesus wishes to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.” - On May 18, 1936, Christ told her: “I want My whole Church to acknowledge that consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary…and put the devotion to the Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.” vii PRIVATE REVELATIONS he Church teaches: “Christ, the Son of God made man, is the Father’s one, perfect, and unsurpassable Word. In Him, He has said T everything; there will be no other word than this one” 1 “Yet, even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries. 2 “Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ‘private’ revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or com- plete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ, or His saints, to the Church. Christian faith cannot accept ‘revelations’ that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such ‘revelations.’” 3 “The judgment of the Church is essential because apparitions add nothing to the Creed, nor to the Gospel. They are a reminder for an age that has a ten- dency to forget them; they are indeed, a prophetic visitation to our world. God does not want us focusing on the wonderful or the extraordinary; but, through the apparitions, He gives us a sign that we should return to the Gospel which is the Word of His Son, the Word of Life. Faithfulness to the message of the Gos- pel, the authenticity of one’s life of witness, and the results of holiness which flow out from it for the people of God are the criteria of an authentic apparition in the Church. The Church is not deceived in these matters.” - https://en.Lourdes-France.org “The Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur are not required for publications dealing with private revelations, providing they contain nothing contrary to faith or mor- als” (A.A.S., 58, 1186). The author will adhere to the disposition of the unre- solved apparitions in this book, as judged by the Magisterium of the Church. In the event any of the apparitions currently under investigation are eventual- ly deemed to be unworthy of belief they would not discredit the other appari- tions, nor would the eventual outcome of Our Lady’s mission for “the salvation of the human race” be compromised in the slightest. Since her first appearances in France in 1830 she has continued to give us greater insight about the future in order to help us understand our present day situation, and the consequences if we fail to heed her advice! viii CONTENTS Author .……………..………....……..….……….... 13 Acknowledgment …............................................ 15 Prologue ............................................................. 17 History ................................................................ 21 Story ……………….…………….…......……........ 31 PART I: Past CHAPTER 1 – Constantine ...................... 35 CHAPTER 2 – Guadalupe ........................ 39 CHAPTER 3 – Paray-le-Monial ................ 45 PART II: Present CHAPTER 4 – Rue du Bac ..…….............. 51 CHAPTER 5 – La Salette ......................... 57 CHAPTER 6 – Lourdes ............................ 63 CHAPTER 7 – Pont-Main .......................... 71 CHAPTER 8 – Knock ............................... 79 CHAPTER 9 – Saint Michael ...….............. 83 CHAPTER 10 – Fátima ............................... 89 CHAPTER 11 – Divine Mercy….................. 105 CHAPTER 12 – Beauraing ........................ 109 CHAPTER 13 – Banneux ........................... 113 PART III: Future CHAPTER 14 – Garabandal ....................... 119 CHAPTER 15 – Akita…............................... 133 CHAPTER 16 – Medjugorje ....................... 137 CHAPTER 17 – Hrushiv…………..….….….. 177 CHAPTER 18 – Revealed Secrets …….….. 185 CHAPTER 19 – Future Events..................... 203 CHAPTER 20 – The Decisive Battle............ 227 PART IV: Finale CHAPTER 21 – Immaculate Conception…. 239 CHAPTER 22 – Chair of Peter ................... 249 Epilogue …….……………..….….…..….….……. 257 Conversion.………….……..……….….…..…….. 263 Appendix ….………………………..…….…..…... 266 Credits …………………….……………....…….... 270 Bibliography …………….……..….………….…... 272 Index …………………….…………….…..…….... 277 A NOTE TO THE READER his is a story about love albeit tough love at times, but love nonetheless. It concerns the unwavering love a mother has for Ther children. She laughs with them, pleads with them, and often cries for them whenever she sees them going astray. She teaches them about life and love, and its boundaries. She tells them about the future and cautions them of the consequences if they fail to heed her advice. The events contained herein are well documented and have been researched over a period of several decades. The words and pictures were carefully selected to appeal to all people – pre-teen to elderly; believer and unbeliever – while some portions remain a challenge to the most learned among us! Some may find them difficult to accept be- cause they tell us about ourselves and our present day world in a clear and concise manner: where we are today, how we got here, and what awaits us in the near future. Once you comprehend Our Lady’s mission it may profoundly change your life: how you see the world, yourself, and the people around you. A sub-chapter on Conversion has been added to assist you in this venture, and I assure you it is an adventure! We are driven by two distinct forces throughout our lifetime: we know them as good and evil. They begin in our childhood as like and dislike [pleasure and pain]; then, as we mature, they become better known as love [good] and hate [evil]. We choose which path to follow in our youth and eventually, find that choice follows us throughout this life, on into the next one: eternity. None are immune to this great struggle!4 St. Paul advises: “Work out your salvation in fear and trembling” (Ph 2:12). “For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principali- ties; with the powers; with the world rulers of this present darkness” (Ep 6:12). "I have set before you life and death. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, heeding his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you" (Dt 30:19:20}. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Ps 111:10). This holy fear is understood to be the fear of the loss of a relationship with God; it is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. 5 Here, we would do well to reflect on the words of Christ: “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon” (Mt 6:24). x This story is also about difficult times that lay ahead, consisting of an immense conflict between those same forces of good and evil. This trial is directed against Christianity itself, resulting in a worldwide apostasy by entities who, perhaps unknowingly, have enjoined the trial Pope Leo XIII foresaw in 1884, whence he composed the prayer to St.
