Our Lady knows exactly why we’re bleeding,

And, better than anyone else, what we are needing.

Both at Fatima in Portugal in 1917 and at Akita in Japan in 1973 Our Lady said that only She can help us henceforth. In Akita She added, “from the imminent calamities,” the calamities hanging over our heads. If anybody has been watching events in the Ukraine over the last two years, he must be blind, either naturally or wilfully, not to see a nuclear Third World War coming, and bringing with it calamities without number. Our Lady of Akita also told Sister Agnes Sasagawa that all those who put their confidence in Her will be saved, by which She almost certainly meant, saved for eternity and not just for this brief life on earth, which is so much less important.

In any case it is Our Lord Himself – in complete control of coming world events and allowing the calamities only for our own greater good – who has told us that to reward His Mother for the special part She has played in the saving of souls, especially in modern times, He wants it to be the Immaculate Heart of Mary which will take the credit among men for the eventual rescue of mankind from its present dire straits. For indeed mankind will be rescued in the Triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, a brief Golden Age for the Church, following on the Chastisement, and constituting the greatest world-wide victory of Our Lord’s Church in all its history. Then sin will return, with the run-down to the Antichrist and to the fiercest persecution of Christians, generating some of the greatest Saints in all Church history.

Into this cosmic drama preceding the end of the world fits Our Lady as its queen and our guide, as appointed by Her Divine Son Himself. At Akita half a century ago, She did warn us, like a good mother, of “fire falling from Heaven which will eliminate a large part of mankind, both the good and the bad, sparing neither priests nor laity, and leaving survivors so desolate that they will envy the dead. At that moment you will have two weapons left: the Rosary, and the sign left by My Son (It is not yet certain in what that sign consists). Pray the Rosary for the Pope, for bishops and priests.” Indeed the primary problem today of our storm-tossed Church and world is the defection of the Catholic churchmen, deceived by the diabolical Second Vatican Council of the 1960’s.

Accordingly, the little “Resistance” movement in England is organising again this year a pilgrimage to Walsingham in Norfolk, from Thursday 26th until Sunday 29thSeptember, but based this year in Swaffham, about 30 minutes away by car. As in previous years, the main business of pilgrims will be daily Mass and the praying of full 15-Mystery Rosaries, possibly as many as ten in the four days inclusive, from the Thursday to the Sunday. That may seem a great deal, but nobody complained in previous years, on the contrary they were rewarded with the realisation of how relatively easy the full Rosary can be. And they well knew they were not wasting their time, by doing exactly what the Queen of Heaven is asking all of us to do. At the heart of the distress of our times is a spiritual and not material problem. The problem is mankind turning its back on God, for which all the latest and best of warplanes, submarines and tanks are relatively useless. See Psalm 32–33 – “The war-horse is a vain hope for victory . . . . Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him.”

For all practical details of how to get to Swaffham, for accommodation (not expensive if you can bring your own bedding and towels) and so on, please e-mail respicestellam2015@gmail.com. Mass will take place each day at a former Convent in Swaffham, followed by a simple breakfast, and kitchen facilities are available to cater for an evening meal. Do notify as soon as possible by email this same address if you mean to take part, because organisers would like to have ahead an idea of numbers.

And do think of doing a great service to Our Lady, to your country, to your family and to yourself by taking part in the “Rosary Blast.”

Kyrie eleison.
