Our Lady's words when she appeared to Akita in Japan

The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on the January morning of Friday of the Heart of Jesus to the ex catechist Sasagawa Katsuko. This devotee had lost hearing in one ear and was therefore forced to quit her job in the parish of the Myookookoogawa mission in Japan. Sasagawa had to retire early and entered the convent of the servants of the SS. Sacrament of Akita. One evening, while absorbed in prayer, she saw with her great emotion the statue of the Mother of God illuminate and animate itself mysteriously. The woman immediately made the sign of the cross. At this point you heard a voice rising in the air: «My daughter, my novice, you have been very coherent in the faith you have shown. The sick ear is something very painful for you, but it will heal you. Be patient. Sacrifice yourself and atone for the sins of the world. You are an indispensable daughter to me. Make the proposals of the servants of the Blessed Sacrament your own, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests ... ». A second time Our Lady appeared to her on August 3, always on a Friday of the Heart of Jesus. Again he heard the following words coming from the statue: "My daughter, my novice! You love the Lord and you sacrificed yourself to him. But if you really love me too, then listen to what I say to you: there are many people who offend the Lord, therefore I request people who console Heavenly Father to mitigate his anger. Dedicate yourself to expiation exercises for those who are so ungrateful. Accept suffering and poverty to atone for the souls of sinners. This also desires my Son. It is important to atone with him for this purpose. I must tell you that the wrath of God against the world is now on, it now prepares a punishment for all humanity. I try, together with my Son, to mitigate this anger from Heavenly Father, so I have shown myself so often in the world. Living souls must become expiatory souls to manifest my Son's painful passion at the cross and his holy blood and thus console the Father ... Therefore I come to you ... You truly sacrifice yourselves for sinners. Each with its own strength, in its place ... even if you are only sisters of a secular institute your prayer is very important. Remember that if you pray fervently many souls will gather around you. Don't let the externalities mislead you. Devote yourself to this great task and worry with serious and correct action to console the Lord. For this pray! »On October 13 the Holy Virgin Mary reappeared on the great occasion of Fatima. Again Sister Agnes, as she was called in the convent, in prayer before the statue she welcomed the voice of Mary who said to her: "Beloved daughter, listen carefully to what I say and then communicate it to your superior: as I have already told you, Heavenly Father will unleash a great punishment if humanity does not convert. A harsher punishment than the universal flood, a punishment like never before. Of this there must be no doubts. The fire will fall from heaven and many men will die, even priests and devotees. The sufferings for those who remain alive will be many who will envy those who have died. The only means of defense will be the recitation of the holy Rosary and the sign of the Son. So pray for bishops and good priests. First of all, that peace and harmony reign among them. Because as long as the men of the Church, cardinals, bishops and priests, are fighting each other within the Body of Christ, the devil will have a strong negative influence on the development of the inner Church. Even the priests who have always glorified me will suddenly detach themselves from this devotion and dishonor the altar and the Church. By means of compromises a conciliation will be reached, but then many priests and ecclesiastics will lose their vocation precisely because of this compromise. The devil will turn especially against those who persevere in devotion to Heavenly Father.

Between January 4, 1975 and September 15, 1981, Sister Agnese had witnessed a total of 101 supernatural phenomena of tearing, even of blood, of the statue of the Madonna: she was also an ambassador of the three messages of the miraculous image. Over 500 people witnessed this mystical episode, including the local bishop, Shoojiroo Ito of Niigata, four times. He tasted the tears and perceived a salty taste; he therefore had the tear fluid and drops of blood analyzed by Akita's medical school who declared its human nature. The blood gave off a pleasant smell. At first, despite these results, the bishop did not officially recognize the phenomena as supernatural. It was not until 1984 that he addressed a writing to the faithful of his diocese and placed a favorable testimony on the supernatural character of these events. He was definitively convinced of the authenticity of the phenomena when Sister Agnese called him and spoke with him as if he felt normally. In fact, she had been healed in the ear during a prayer and could hear everything. On March 25 and May 1982, XNUMX she had been announced by an Angel that she would regain the use of hearing. Among other things, the bishop wrote: "... Now the time has come for me to do my duty ... as bishop of the diocese of Niigata, I take responsibility for establishing the following:

1. the manifestations concerning the statue of the Mother of God in Akita have shown all the signs, for the repeated mystical demonstrations, of having an authentic supernatural character; nothing can demonstrate that they have a nature which is in contrast with Christian virtues or that they are in contrast with the Christian faith;
2. pending the final decision of the Holy See, the faithful are allowed to venerate the Mother of God of Akita in the diocese of Niigata, as a miraculous statue ".
