Blessed Anna Maria Taigi: "There shall come over all the earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights...only blessed candles can be lighted and will afford illumination...the air shall be infected with demons, who will appear under alls sorts of hideous forms...During these three days the people should remain in their homes, pray the Rosary and beg God for mercy."

Wow! I am going to get some candles blessed!

I also took several jugs of water up to my church and had them blessed, then poured them around the perimeter of my home. It couldn't hurt! ;)

With all due respect, why are these messages proliferating of these threads? Private revelations have no doctrinal authority (Catechism #67) but are intended to help us live more fully in a certain period of history...

This is just private opinion, not private revelation, but I don't understand how "messages" such as these are supposed to help us. It seems to me they are more likely to panic folks.

Jesus left us all that is necessary for Salvation and many of these "messages" tend to make folks anxious and anxiety does not add one second to our lives, or the enjoyment of our lives.

These messages and alleged Marian apparitions have exploded since 1960 and I don't think it a sign of spiritual health. The Bible warns about those seeking signs...

Of course, I accept Fatima and any other apparitions approved by the Local Ordinaries and/or Rome, but H.M. Church, the Ark of Salvation is more than sufficient to sail me and thee into eternity...
