"My Father, God has manifested to me the malice of Lucifer and the perverse and diabolical intentions of his emissaries (secret societies) against the Holy Church of Jesus Christ. At the command of their master these wicked men have traversed the earth like furies, with the intention of preparing the way and the place for Anti-Christ whose reign is approaching. Through the corrupted breath of this proud spirit they have poisoned the minds of men. like persons infected with pestilence, they have reciprocally communicated the evil to each other, and the contagion has become general. What convulsions! ,vhat scandals! The thick vapors which I have seen rising from the earth, and obscuring the light of the sun, are the false maxims of irreligion and of license (falsely called liberty), which in part originated in France, and in part came to us from abroad. These have succeeded in confounding all sound principles ciples, and in spreading everywhere such darkness as to obscure the light both of faith and of reason. The storm began in France, which shall be the first theatre of its ravages, after having been its forge."

"The Church in council assembled shall one day strike with andthemas, pull down and destroy the evil principles of that crirrlinal constitution. I saVor in Godt s essence a numerous assembly of ministers of the Church, who, like an army in battle array, and like a firm and unflinching column. shall sustain the

rights of the Church, and of their Head, and shall reestablish its ancient discipline What consolation, what joy, for all the truly faithful! I saw in the Divinity a great power, guided by the Holy Spirit, which shall destroy all the abuses of the Revolution; religions shall be abolished (Protestantism); the altars shall be reestablished, and religion shall more than ever flourish. "

"When the persecution against the Church has spread "ke a wild raging fire, even to places where it was thought there was no danger, then the Lord. who knows how to draw glory out of everything, will suddenly command the mighty fire stream (war?) and Satan to halt. Then will a universal peace be proclaimed."
