It will be a bitterly cold winter
night in the Northern hemisphere. (Presumably, a very cold summer night in
Australia or, by contrast, a torrid night.) The wind will howl and roar.
Lightning and thunderbolts of an unprecedented magnitude will strike the earth.
The whole earth will shake, heavenly bodies will be disturbed (this will be
the beginning of the Three Days). Every Demon, every evil spirit will be
released from hell and allowed to roam the earth. Terrifying apparitions will
take place. Many will die from sheer fright. Fire will rain forth from the sky,
all large cities will be destroyed, poisonous gases will fill the air, cries and
lamentations everywhere. The unbelievers will burn in the open like withered
grass. The entire earth will be afflicted; it will look like a huge graveyard.
As soon as you notice that bitterly
cold night, go indoors, lock all doors and windows, pull down the blinds, stick
adhesive paper on vents and around windows and doors. Do not answer calls from
outside, do not look at the windows, or you will die on the spot: keep your eyes
down to make sure you do not see the windows; the Wrath of God is mighty and no
one should attempt to behold it. Light blessed wax candles; nothing else will
burn, but the candles will not be extinguished once lit. Nothing will put them
out in the houses of the faithful, but they will not burn in the houses of the
godless. Sprinkle holy water about the house and especially in the vicinity of
doors and windows: the devils fear holy water. Bless yourself with it and anoint
your five senses with it: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, feet, and forehead.
Keep on hand a sufficient supply of drinking water and, if possible, food also
(but you can live without food for three days.) Kneel down and pray incessantly
with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the floor. Make acts of contrition,
faith, hope, and charity. Above all say the Rosary and meditate on the Sorrowful
mysteries.
Some people, especially children,
will be taken up to Heaven beforehand to spare them the horror of these days.
People caught outdoors will die instantly. Three-quarters of the human race will
be exterminated, more men than women. No one will escape the terror of these
days. From the New Testament, we also learn
that a cloak of darkness enveloped the world when Our Lord died on Calvary as
was recorded by the Evangelists: Then from the sixth hour, there was
darkness over the entire earth, until the ninth hour. (Mt 27:45). And when the sixth hour came, there
was darkness throughout all the earth, until the ninth hour. (Mk 15:33). But it was almost the sixth hour, and
there was darkness in the entire earth, until the ninth hour. (Lk 23:44).
After the
darkness
Prophecies of
Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi on what follows the 3 days of darkness(19th
Century)
"After the three days of
darkness, St. Peter and St. Paul, having come down from Heaven, will preach in
the whole world and designate a new Pope. A great light will flash from their
bodies and will settle upon the Cardinal who is to become Pope. Christianity,
then, will spread throughout the world. He is the Holy Pontiff, chosen by God to
withstand the storm. At the end, he will have the gift of miracles, and his name
shall be praised over the whole earth. Whole nations will come back to the
Church and the face of the earth will be renewed. Russia, England, and China
will come into the Church." (Prophecy of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769-1837
A.D.) who was Beatified by Pope Bendedict XV in 1920.)
