Sr. Lucia told Fr. Agustín Fuentes on 26 December 1957: “Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or, above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.”
“Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Most Holy Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon, and as the certain door by which we are to enter Heaven.”
"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved."

Hidden Message of Akita Revealed After 50 Years as declared by Father Teiji Yasuda, Spiritual Director of Sister Agnes Sasagawa
"The first Judas and the last pope are to sell Jesus to the enemy. [Like the first Judas, the last pope will sell Jesus to the enemy.] Therefore, the era of the Antichrist-pope will soon come. So, no matter how much we worry, we cannot prevent this and there is nothing we can do about it. Therefore, we must properly defend our Faith. Thus, there are what is called Communion and what is called Holy Mary. [...] At this time, the weapons left to us are the Rosary and the sign left by Her Holy Son." - Father Teiji Yasuda, O.S.V. † (1916 - 2013), Spiritual Director of Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in Akita, Japan
