The secret of Melania, seer of la Salette

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.
