Devotion to Our Lady: The secrets of La Salette, the apparition in France

The secrets of La Salette

THE MESSAGE OF MELANIA CALVAT

Melania, I'm going to tell you something you won't tell anyone. The time for God's anger has come, if, when you have told the peoples what I have said now and which I will tell you to say again; if, after that, they do not convert, they will not do penance and they will not stop working on Sunday and continue to blaspheme the holy name of God, in a word, if the face of the earth does not change, God will take revenge against the ungrateful people and slave of the devil. My Son is about to manifest his power.

Paris, this city stained with all sorts of crimes, will infallibly perish, Marseille will be swallowed up shortly afterwards. When these things happen, the mess will be complete on earth; the world will abandon itself to its wicked passions.

The Pope will be persecuted from all sides, shot at him, wanted to put him to death, but nothing can be done to him. The Vicar of Christ will triumph once again.

The priests, religious and various servants of my Son will be persecuted and many will die by faith in Jesus Christ. At that time there would be a great hunger.

After all these things have happened, many people will recognize the hand of God on them and will convert and do penance for their sins.

A great king will rise to the throne and reign for a few years. Religion will flourish and spread throughout the earth and fertility will be great, the world, happy not to miss anything, will start again with its unrest and abandon God and give up its criminal passions.

There will also be ministers of God and spouses of Jesus Christ who will indulge in disorder and this will be a terrible thing; Finally, hell will reign on earth: it will be then that the Antichrist will be born from a nun, but woe to her; many people will believe him because he will be said to have come from heaven; time is not far off, 50 years will not pass twice.

My daughter, you will not say what I have told you, you will not say, if you have to say it one day, you will not say what it is about, finally you will not say anything until I allow you to say it.
I pray the Holy Father to give me his holy blessing.
Melania Matthieu, shepherdess of La Salette.
Grenoble, July 6, 1851

PS: According to Abbé Corteville, the phrase "twice 50 years" was added by Melania. I think it is interesting to note, however, that those hundred years would take us to 1951. Now there is a well-known prophecy of Blessed Catherine Emmerick, who died in 1827, according to which fifty or sixty years before 2000 flocks of demons would have come out of hell and left free of run around the earth. Unfortunately, we must note, at our expense, that in the second half of the twentieth century, Satan was truly unleashed, plunging the world into an abyss of horrors and darkness.
The photocopy of Melania's secret, like that of Massimino's secret later on, is part of the documentation accompanying the thesis on La Salette by Abbé Michel Corteville.

The secret revealed by Melanie to Mons. Ginoulhiac

Melania, I come to tell you some things that you will not reveal to anyone, until I am the one who tells you to communicate them. If after you have announced to the people all that I have manifested to you and all that I will tell you again to make known, if after this the world does not convert, in a word if the face of the earth does not change for the better, great misfortunes will come , a great hunger will come and at the same time a great war, first in all France, then in Russia and England: after these revolutions a great hunger will spread in three parts of the world, in 1863, during which many will take place crimes, especially in cities; but woe to ecclesiastics, to men and women religious, because they are the ones who bring the greatest evils to earth. My Son will punish them terribly; after these wars and famines the peoples will recognize for some time that it is the hand of the Almighty to strike them and they will return to their religious duties and peace will be made, but for a short time.

People consecrated to God will forget their religious duties and will fall prey to a great relaxation, until they forget God and finally the whole world will forget his Creator. It will be then that the punishments will begin again. God, irritated, will strike the whole world infallibly in this way: an evil man will reign in France. He will persecute the Church, the churches will close, they will be set on fire. A great famine will break out, accompanied by the plague and the civil war. At that time Paris will be destroyed, Marseille flooded, and it will always be at that time that the true servants of God will receive the crown of martyrs for being faithful. The Pope and [God's] ministers will suffer persecution. But God will be with them, the Pontiff will obtain the palm of martyrdom together with the men and women religious. May the sovereign Pontiff prepare arms and be ready to march in defense of the religion of my Son. That you constantly ask for the strength of the Holy Spirit, as well as people consecrated to God, since religious persecution will be unleashed everywhere and many priests, men and women religious will become apostates. Oh! What a great offense to my Son on the part of the ministers and brides of Jesus Christ! After that persecution there will not be another [similar] until the end of the world. Three years of peace will follow, then I will experience the birth and the Kingdom of the Antichrist, which will be terrible at best. He will be born of a religious of a very strict order. The religious one will be considered the holiest of the monastery [the father of the Antichrist will be a bishop etc.] Here the Virgin gave me the rule [of the Apostles of the end times], then revealed to me another secret about the end of the world. The nuns who live in the same convent [where the mother of the Antichrist is] will be blinded, until they realize that it was hell that guided them. For the end of the world only 40 years will pass twice.

THE MATERNAL APOCALYPSE OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

1. «Melania, what I am about to tell you now will not always be a secret: you can publish it in 1858.

2. The priests, the ministers of my Son, the priests, with their bad life, with their irreverences and their impiety in celebrating the holy Mysteries, with love for money, love for honors and pleasures, priests have become cloaches of impurities. Yes, priests provoke revenge, and revenge hangs over their heads. May priests and people consecrated to God be cursed who, with their infidelity and their bad life, crucify my Son again! The sins of people consecrated to God cry out to Heaven and call for revenge, and now there is revenge on their doors, since there is no longer anyone who invokes mercy and forgiveness for the people, there are no more generous souls; now there is no longer anyone worthy to offer the Immaculate Victim to the Eternal for the world.

3. God will strike in an unparalleled way!

4. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! God will empty his anger and nobody will be able to escape so many evils all at once.

5. The leaders, the leaders of the people of God, have forgotten prayer and penance, and the devil has darkened their minds; they have become those wandering stars that the ancient devil with his tail will drag to ruin. God will abandon men to themselves and send chastisements one after another for more than 35 years.

6. Society is on the eve of the most terrible scourges and the greatest events; one must expect to be ruled by an iron rod and to drink the cup of God's wrath.

7. That the Vicar of my Son, the Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX, not leave Rome after 1858; that he is firm and generous, fight with the weapons of Faith and love. I will be with him.

8. Beware of Napoleon; his heart is double, and when he wants to be pope and emperor at the same time, God will abandon him. He is the eagle who, wanting to get up more and more, will fall on the sword that he wanted to use to force the populations to exalt.

9. Italy will be punished for its ambition to want to shake the yoke of the Lord of Lords: thus it will be delivered to war: blood will flow from all sides: churches will be closed or desecrated: priests, religious will be driven out; they will be put to death and to a cruel death. Many will abandon the faith and the number of priests and religious who will separate from true religion will be great: even bishops will be found among these people.

10. May the pope be on guard against miracle workers, for the time has come when the most extraordinary wonders will take place on earth and in heaven.

11. In the year 1864, Lucifer and a large number of demons will be released from hell: little by little they will abolish the faith, and this also in people consecrated to God; they will blind them so much that without a special grace, these people will take on the spirit of these bad angels: numerous religious houses will completely lose their faith and cause the damnation of many souls.

12. Bad books will abound on earth and the spirits of darkness will spread universal relaxation everywhere in all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over nature: there will be churches to serve these spirits [the Sect of Satan. Ed].
People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, and even the priests because they will not have lived according to the spirit of the Gospel, which is the spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. The dead and the righteous will be resurrect. [That is: these dead will take on the appearance of righteous souls who once lived on earth, with the aim of seducing men more easily: but they will be nothing but the devil, under these faces, they will preach another Gospel, contrary to the real one of Jesus Christ, denying the existence of paradise. All these souls will appear united to their bodies. So added Melania]. There will be extraordinary wonders everywhere, because true faith has been extinguished and a false light illuminates the world. Woe to the princes of the Church who will only be busy accumulating wealth over wealth, defending their authority and proudly dominating!

13. The Vicar of my Son will have to suffer a lot, because for a while the Church will be subject to great persecutions. It will be the hour of darkness: the Church will pass a terrible crisis.

14. Having forgotten the holy faith of God, each individual will want to guide himself and be superior to his peers. Civil and ecclesiastical authority will be abolished, order and justice will be trampled underfoot. Only murders, hatred, jealousy, lies and discord will be seen, without love for the homeland and the family.

15. The Holy Father will suffer greatly. I will be with him until the end to receive his sacrifice.

16. The wicked will make various attacks on his life, without succeeding in shortening his days; but neither he nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God.

17. Civil rulers will all have the same purpose, which will be to abolish and make every religious principle disappear, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritism and vices of all kinds.

18. In the year 1865, the abomination will be seen in the holy places; in the convents, the flowers of the Church will become putrid and the devil will establish himself as king of all hearts. Those in charge of religious communities are on guard with the people they are to receive, because the devil will use all his malice to introduce people to sin in religious Orders, since unrest and love for carnal pleasures will be spread all over the earth.

19. France, Italy, Spain and England will be at war; blood will flow through the streets; the French will fight with the French, the Italian with the Italian; then there will be a general war that will be frightening. For a while, God will no longer remember France and Italy, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is no longer known. The wicked will unleash all their malice; even in homes there will be murders and massacre mortgages.

20. With the first lightning strike of his sword, the mountains and all nature will tremble with fear, because the unrest and crimes of men are tearing the vault of the heavens. Paris will be burnt and Marseille swallowed up; numerous large cities will be shaken and swallowed up by earthquakes; everything will seem lost; only assassinations will be seen; there will be a roar of weapons and blasphemies. The righteous will suffer greatly; their prayers, their penance and their tears will go up to Heaven and all the people of God will ask for forgiveness and mercy and ask for my help and intercession. Then Jesus Christ, by an act of his justice and his great mercy towards the righteous, will command his angels to put all his enemies to death.
In one fell swoop the persecutors of the Church of Jesus Christ and all men dedicated to sin will perish and the earth will become like a desert.
Then, there will be peace, the reconciliation of God with men; Jesus Christ will be served, worshiped and glorified; charity will flourish everywhere. The new kings will be the right arm of the Holy Church, which will be strong, humble, pious, poor, zealous, imitating the virtues of Jesus Christ. The Gospel will be preached everywhere and men will make great strides in faith, because there will be unity between the workers of Jesus Christ and men will live in fear of God.

21. But this peace among men will not last long: 25 years of abundant harvests will make them forget that men's sins are the cause of all the troubles that happen on earth.

22. A precursor of the Antichrist, with his militias taken from many nations, will wage war against the true Christ, the only Savior of the world; he will shed a lot of blood and try to nullify the worship of God to be considered as a God.

23. The earth will be hit by punishments of all kinds [in addition to the plague and famine, which will be widespread, added by Melania]: there will be wars until the last war, which will then be moved by the ten kings of the Antichrist, kings who they will have a common design and will be the only rulers in the world. Before this happens, there will be a kind of false peace in the world: people will only think about having fun; the wicked will indulge in all sorts of sin; but the children of the Holy Church, the children of true faith, my true imitators, will grow in the love of God and in the virtues dearest to me.
Happy humble souls guided by the Holy Spirit! or I will fight with them until they reach the fullness of maturity.

24. Nature begs for revenge because of men and trembles with fear, waiting for what must happen to the land stained with crimes.

25. Earth, tremble, and you who profess to serve Jesus Christ, while inwardly you worship yourself, tremble! Because God will deliver you to his enemy, because holy places are in a state of corruption; many convents are no longer the houses of God, but pastures for Asmodeo and his people.

26. It will be in this period that the Antichrist will be born of a Jewish nun, a false virgin who will be in communication with the ancient serpent, master of impurity; his father will be a bishop [in French: Ev.] at birth he will vomit blasphemies, he will have teeth; in a word, this will be the incarnate devil: he will emit terrifying cries. he will do wonders, he will live on impurities.
He will have brothers who, although not incarnate demons like him, will be children of evil; at the age of twelve they will be noticed for the brave victories they will get; soon they will each be at the head of armies, assisted by legions of hell.

27. The seasons will change, the earth will produce only bad fruits: the celestial bodies will lose the regularity of their movements: the moon will reflect only a soft reddish light; water and fire will cause upsetting motions to the sphere of the earth, making mountains and cities swallow up; etc.

28. Rome will lose faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.

29. The demons of the air, together with the Antichrist, will perform great wonders on earth and in the air, and men will become even more perverted: God will take care of his faithful servants and men of good will: the Gospel will be preached everywhere ; all peoples and all nations will know the truth.
I make a pressing appeal to the earth: I appeal to the true disciples of God who lives and reigns in Heaven; I appeal to the true imitators of Christ made man, the only true Savior of men; I appeal to my children, to my true devotees, those who have given themselves to me so that I can lead them to my divine Son, those whom I carry as if they were in my arms, those who have lived in my spirit. Finally, I appeal to the apostles of recent times, the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ who lived in contempt of the world and of themselves, in poverty and humility, in contempt and silence, in prayer and mortification, in chastity and in union with God , suffering and unknown to the world. And now for them to emerge and come to illuminate the earth. Go, show that you are my dear children; I am with you and in you, so that your faith may be the light that illuminates you in these bad times. May your zeal make you hungry for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ. Fight, children of light! You, the few who see about it, for the time of the times, the end of them, is near.

31. The Church will be eclipsed; the world will be in dismay. But there are Enoch and Elia, full of the spirit of God; they will preach with the power of God, and men of good will believe in God, and many souls will be comforted; they will make great progress by virtue of the Holy Spirit and condemn the diabolical errors of the Antichrist.

32. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines; plagues and contagious diseases: there will be appalling showers and animal deaths; thunder that will demolish cities; earthquakes that will sink countries; voices will be heard in the air; men will beat their heads against the wall; they will call for death, but death will be their torment; blood will flow from all sides. Who could do it if God does not shorten the time of trial? To blood, to tears, to the prayers of the righteous. God will become less severe; Enoch and Elia will be put to death; pagan Rome will disappear; the fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities, the whole universe will be struck with fear, and many will be seduced, because they do not worship the true living Christ among them. And now, the sun is darkening; only faith will survive.

33. The time is near; the abyss is opening up. Here is the king of kings of darkness. Here is the beast with its subjects, self-styled savior of the world. In pride, he will rise to Heaven to go up to Heaven; but he will be suffocated by the breath of Archangel Michael. He will fall, and the earth that has been in constant change for three days will open his inflamed breast; he will be thrown forever with all his followers into the eternal abysses of hell.
Then, water and fire will purify the earth and consume the works of men's pride, and everything will be renewed. God will be served and glorified ».

THE SECRET OF MASSIMINO

On September 19, 1846, we saw a beautiful lady. We did not say that that Lady was the Holy Virgin, but we always said that she was a beautiful Lady. I don't know if it was the Holy Virgin or another person, but today I believe it was the Holy Virgin. Here is what that Lady told me.

If my people continue, what I am going to tell you will come soon, if it changes a little, it will be later. France has corrupted the universe, one day it will be punished. Faith will die out in France. A third of France will no longer practice religion or almost. The other party will practice it but not well. […] Later the nations will be converted and faith will be rekindled everywhere. A large district of Northern Europe, now Protestant, will convert and following the example of that district, the other nations of the world will also convert. Before this happens, great disturbances will occur in the Church and shortly after the Holy Father, the Pope, will be persecuted. His successor will be a pontiff that no one expects. A great peace will come shortly after, but it will not last long. A monster will come to upset her. Everything that I am telling you will happen in the next century or at the latest in the years of the XNUMXs [Massimino Giraud]. She told me to say it sometime later.

My Holy Father, your blessing to one of your sheep.
Maximinus Giraud,
Grenoble, July 3, 1851
