akita 1

On October 13rd, 1973... 

12 years after the first apparition in Garabandal...

and 8 years after the last apparition in Garabandal...

Sister Agnes Sasagawa received a message from our Lady, in Akita, Japan.

She said:

'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 [the Great Flood] 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.'

On May 1st, 1976...

'Attach great importance to this day, for the Glory of God and of his Holy Mother. With courage spread this devotion (the Fatima First Saturday Devotion) among the greatest number.'
