Another excellent tidbit:
“With your and my prayer it is possible to mitigate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to avert it, because only thus can the Church be effectively renewed.”
And finally:
“Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the ‘mystery of iniquity’ in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth.”
And in 677: “The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Ressurrection..”
This is the reality which we Christians must prepare for through prayer, and especially through the Rosary of Our Lady.
