La Salette

La Sallette Shrine has a beautiful story.  

Look at these prophesies:  

“Melanie, what I am about to tell you now will not always be a secret. You may make it public in 1858.

“The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, and the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again! The sins of those dedicated to God cry out towards Heaven and call for vengeance, and now vengeance is at their door, for there is no one left to beg mercy and forgiveness for the people. There are no more generous souls; there is no one left worthy of offering a stainless sacrifice to the Eternal for the sake of the world.

         “God will strike in an unprecedented way.

Now, remember what happened in history after 1846.

         “May the curate of my Son, Pope Pius IX never leave Rome again after 1859; may he, however, be steadfast and noble, may he fight with the weapons of faith and love. I will be at his side. May he be on his guard against Napoleon: he is two-faced, and when he wishes to make himself Pope as well as Emperor, God will soon draw back from him. He is the mastermind who, always wanting to ascend further, will fall on the sword he wished to use to force his people to be raised up.

         “Italy will be punished for her ambition in wanting to shake off the yoke of the Lord of Lords. And so she will be left to fight a war; blood will flow on all sides. Churches will be locked up or desecrated. Priests and religious orders will be hunted down, and made to die a cruel death. Several will abandon the faith, and a great number of priests and members of religious orders will break away from the true religion; among these people there will even be bishops. [A prediction it would seem of what happened in the 18oos in France, but also later, under Hitler and Stalin, or also relevant to the Fatima Third Secret, whereby martyr priests ascend a hill?]

         “May the Pope guard against the performers of miracles. For the time has come when the most astonishing wonders will take place on the earth and in the air.

         “The Holy Father will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice.

         “The mischievous would attempt his life several times to do harm and shorten his days but neither him nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God.

         “All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principal to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds.

 These prophesies have happened.  Scary?  But remember all the apparitions of Mary offer us hope. Mary constantly intercedes for us before God.  She always is calling us back to the way of her Son, Jesus Christ.
