"An enormous bird (Great Monarch) shall awake as from a sleep, and with its terrible bill and claws shall sever the ox's neck and shall eagerly devour the intestines of the wicked dragon. He shall drag to the mud the tricolor (revolutionary) flag of the French and restore to their dominions the legitimate kings. A just and pious man born in Gallicia shall be the Supreme Pontiff; then the whole world shall be united and prosperous. One faith only and one emperor shall reign over the whole earth."

"Listen, my children, to what Mary our Mother charges me to announce to you. 'Behold the end of time! Behold the end of evil and the beginning of good. What is going to happen is not an ordinary event. It is a grand epoch which is going to commence. It is the third (era of the world) .

Since the Father, who has created us, in order that we may kno,v, love and serve him; since the Son, who has redeemed us; behold now the Father and the Son to console us, send to us the Triumphant Spirit, with Mary His spouse. This is a grand miracle.

"l\IIary comes from Heaven. She comes accompanied by a legion of angels. The elect living upon earth shwould through spiritual electricity elevate themselves in order to go forward before the messengers of God. Behold the host of the Lord! Many holy women, few St. John's. Behold the armor of God! No gun or musket, no club or truncheon, no bolt, no watchdog, no material force, no human means.

"After this Mary, all powerful, shall change all men into good wheat. All shall be good. The Pharisees will be the last to be converted; the great brigands will arrive beforehand. The Jews who have refused to receive Jesus Christ in his humiliation ~Til1 acknowledge Him at the glorious arrival of Mary.

"The dove (the peace and grace of God through Mary) comes to us from Heaven, wearing on her breast a white cross, sign of reconciliation, and waving a sword of fire, symbol of love. She seats herself on a throne of solid gold, figure of Noah's ark; for she comes to announce the end of a deluge of evils. Behold, she comes, our Mother! The Church prepares everything for the glorious arrival of Mary. The Church forms for her a guard of honor to go before the angels. The triumphal arch is nearly accomplished. The hour is not far distant. It is Mary in person! But she has her precursors,-holy women, apostles, who shall cure the wounds of the body as well as the sins of the heart. Holy women, images of Mary, shall have power to work miracles. After them comes Mary to prepare the place for her Son in His triumphant Church. Behold the Immaculate Conception of the Kingdom of God that precedes the arrival of Jesus Christ. It is the mansion of God upon earth, which is going to purify and prepare itself to receive the Emmanuel. Jesus Christ cannot come into this hovel of the world.

It is necessary that God shwould send His spirit to renew the face of the earth by means of another creation, to render it a worthy mansion for the God made man. Behold here, the fire from below, for burning and changing everything. Behold here, the fire from above! The love of God comes to embrace and transfigure the world. I see the earth rendered level; its valleys are raised; its mountains are lowered; there is nothing more than gentle hills and beautiful vales (images of the Christian virtues regenerating fallen humanity). Since I am as I am, I see nothing else before us but union and universal fraternity. All men are in reciprocal love. One helps the other. They are

all happy."

"It is now twenty-six years since I announced to you the seven crises, the seven wounds and sorrows of Mary which shwould have to precede her triumph and our cure, namely: 1, Inclemencies of seasons and inundations; 2, Diseases to animals and plants; 3, Cholera over men; 4, Revolutions; 5, Wars; 6, An universal bankruptcy; 7, Confusion." "The preceding evils have been mitigated through Mary's intercession, who detained the arm of her Son Jesus. Behold now the sixth calamity, the commercial crisis. Commerce marches to its ruin, because the axle, confidence, is shattered. There will be no respite between the sixth and seventh crises; the passage shall be rapid. The year 1798 upset France only; that which is coming shall cause the revolution of the whole world. The seventh crisis shall come to parturition. Men shall believe that all is lost and annihilated. Immense trouble shall be over the agitated sea of time. Whoever is not on the bark of Peter shall be ingulfed. The bark goes up and down. Peter, have confidence. The ark comes out of the storm and a calm ensues. Pius IX is the last pope of the Church oppressed. 'Cross of the cross.' To him sorrow, but also joy. After him comes deliverance. Lumen in Coelo. Light in Heaven. This is Mary's eye. (Leo XIII's coat of arms show a star appearing in the heavens.) In the Church, Christians will imagine that all is

lost. Mary arrives. Behold there is confusion; confusion even in the sanctuary. Notwithstanding, it is to the Catholic priests that one shall have to go for absolution and blessing."

"Pius IX is the last pope of an epoch. Do you think that Mary will come to destroy the work of her Son? The Pope holds the place of God upon earth; so does the bishop in every diocese, and the parish priest in every parish. Behold the representative of Jesus Christ, as the good and religious mother is the image of Mary. Go to your pastors who have been appointed by God. But woe! woe! to mercenaries who go to the side of the world! Look at that field where among bad weeds and every kind of damaged wheat there are some fine ears; that is a figure of how human society is now seated in wickedness. What shwould be done with it? Good souls shwould not be allowed to perish. The sound ears are good souls. Well! Mary comes to harvest the elect from the earth.... A grand event shall have to take place in order to terrify the wicked to their

advantage."

"In the year when Easter occurs on the feast of St. Mark (April 25), Pentecost on the feast of St. Anthony (June 13) and Corpus Christi occurs on the feast of St. John the Baptist (June 24), then the whole world will cry: WOE! WOE! WOE! (1943 is one such year; the next in 2038). (See no. 101, 123k).

"Famine, pestilence, war and fraud shall prostrate the Italian Kingdom; and the ancient kings everywhere shall be expelled. The Supreme Pastor (Pope) shall hold the keys of heaven but will be deprived of earthly kingdom. Horrible spectacle: When the Red Ox (Communism? See 168a) shall give birth to the Hydra (Anarchy?), God will not extinguish the flames nor calm his anger until all these calamities shall have stricken the people of Italy. This state of affairs shall last about five years."
