tribulación

=BEPROEVING / TEGENSPOED 

At 10:30 pm... 

on June 19th, 1962... 

in what became known as the first* 'nights of the screams'... 

Mari Loli, Jacinta & Mari Cruz [Conchita was not present]... 

were shown events in the period leading up to the time of the Warning. 

At Our Lady’s request, the onlookers were to keep at a distance, but they could clearly hear the screams of the young girls as they were shown the terrifying scenes of future events which lasted for up to 50 minutes. 

The people were so shocked they thought the world was about to come to an end, that practically the whole village made very sincere confessions the next morning, and received Holy Communion.

It was some time later [het duurde even]...

before the girls started to speak about their ordeal [beproeving]...

when in 1967, Mari Loli revealed the following: 

'Although we continued to see the Blessed Virgin, we saw a great multitude of people who were suffering intensely and screaming in terror. 

The Blessed Virgin explained to us, that this great tribulation would come, because a time would arrive when the Church would appear to be on the point of perishing. It would pass through a terrible trial. 

We asked the Virgin what this great trial was, and She told us it was 'Communism'.'

In 1965, Conchita had already said: 

'When communism comes again, everything will happen.' 

When questioned if this meant that communism would go away before then, Conchita replied,  I don’t know, the Blessed Virgin simply said: 'When communism comes again'...

Mari Loli later went on to say: 

'Russia will suddenly and unexpectedly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world.' 

These comments clearly refer to a Communist takeover led by Russia, which will appear to have succeeded, and in the midst of this frightful aggression will be a harrowing persecution of the Church. 

Priests will have to go into hiding, Churches will be boarded up [dichtgetimmerd] and it will become very difficult for the faithful to practise their religion or for Holy Mass to be celebrated freely.

During an interview with Fr. Francis Benac, s.j. in 1978... 

Mari Loli further explained:

'It was all related to communism, and what is going to happen in the Church and to the people, because all these things are to have repercussions amongst the people. 

When the Church suffers confusion, the people are going to suffer too. Some priests who are communists will create such confusion, that people will not know right from wrong.'

Jacinta stated in 1979:

'These difficult events will take place before the Warning... 

because the Warning itself will occur when the situation will be at its worst.'

The duration of this tribulation is not known, but it will take an act of God (The Warning) to stop it. 

When will all this happen, we don’t know... 

but we have an indication in a statement from Conchita:

'The Pope will go to Russia, to Moscow, and after his return to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe.'
