      "A day will come when the enemies of Christ will boast of having conquered the whole world."                                                                (St. Methodius, 4th c.)

       "The human race will have to go through a great storm that will sharpen divisions among men and reduce their plans to ashes."
                                                                            (Berthe Petit, 1943)

         "There will be a great prodigy which will fill the world with awe."
                                                                            (Pope Pius IX, 19th c.)

        "I saw one of my successors taking to flight over the bodies of his brethren.  He will take refuge in disguise somewhere; and after a short retirement will die a cruel death.  The present wickedness of the world is only the beginning of the sorrows which must take place before the end of the world.                   (St. Pius X, 20th. c.)

        "God will send two punishments; one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and other evils; it shall originate on earth; the other will be sent from Heaven.  There will come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights."
                                                                             (Bl. Anna Maria Taigi, 19th c.)

       "The power of Mary over all the devils will be particularly outstanding in the last period of time.  She will extend the Kingdom of Christ..."
                                                                  (St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, 18th.c)

       "I can give you only one piece of advice for today: PRAY and get others to pray, for the world is at the threshold of its perdition."                       (Padre Pio, 20th c.)


       "Before the war breaks out again, food will be scarce and expensive.  There will be little work for the workers, and fathers will hear their children crying for food.  There will be earthquakes and signs in the sun.  Towards the end, darkness will cover the earth."

     The above is from a nun in France, called the "Ecstatic of Tours," whose revelations were published by her spiritual director, prophecy dated about 1872-3.

    We have heard from Bl. Anna Maria Taigi of Rome, who prophesied a 2-fold chastisement, the first phase originating from the earth and the second from Heaven, ending in three days of darkness.  It is important to remember that Bl. Anna had most unusual gifts, including that of the miraculous "sun" in which she viewed a tableau-like series of visions, almost like a TV presentation of all sorts of events which were totake place in future decades.  She advised popes and prominent persons.  In view of her holiness and from the fact that many of her prophecies have already been fulfilled, it is most likely her prophecy of the three days is not only possible, but probable.

      Sr. Marianne of the Ursulines of Blois (d.1804), who predicted the fall of Napoleon and his brief return from Elba-tells of a sudden intervention of God which is associated with the Three Days of Darkness:
              "The good Catholics shall be on the point of being annihilated, but O Power of God, a stroke from Heaven wll save them.  All the wicked shall perish, but also many good Catholics."


      Again, a feature of the terrible night will be the unprecedented cold.  This could be accounted for by the prolonged absence of the sun and the thick darkness blocking the sun's warming rays, although other causes may contribute to the cold as well.
         Sr. Rosa Colomba Asdenti of Taggia who lived in the 19th c. also prophesied a three days of darkness and associated it with the conversion of England.
          Palma Maria d' Oria (d.1863), as do other seers, tells of the activities of the demons:
          "There shall be three days of darkness, during which the atmosphere will be infected by innumerable devils, who will cause the death of large multitudes of unbelievers and wicked men.  Blessed candles alone shall be able to give light and preserve the faithful Catholics from this impending dreadful scourge.  Supernatural prodigies will appear in the heavens..."
  {Note: Remember that for 15 centuries, most of the world was Catholic}

        Sr. Mary of Jesus Crucified of Pau, the "Little Arab" (d.1878) beatified in 1983 by Pope John Paul II, foundress of a Carmeliteconvent at Bethlehem, prophesied:
       "During a darkness lasting three days the people given to evil will perish so that only one-fourth of mankind will survive."
          From many reliable prophecies there is no doubt as to the mass destruction of unrepentant sinners during the peak period of the Chastisement in this terrible Darkness.  Many seers and prophes, saints, holy people, special instruments of God have pointed out the tremendous number of dead who will litter the earth after both phases of the Chastisement are over.

        The holy nun, Sr. ean le Royer of the Nativity of the Poor Clares of Fougeres, Brittany, France (d.1798), speaks of the spiritual darkness which eventually leads to the Three Days of Darkness:

      "The reign of Antichrist is approaching.  The thick vapors which I have seen rising from the earth and obscuring the light of the sun are the false maxims of irreligion and license which are confounding all sound principles and spreading everywhere such darkness as to obscue both aith and reason."

         Sr. Jeanne foresaw how reason itself would be attacked with all the subsequent intellectual and moral disorders that would strive to destroy the very nature of man as man.

      Saintly Marta Robin of France (d.1981) told of the great troubles to come, but ended with a cheerful message from Our Lord:
    "Be courageous!  The Kingdom of God is near.  It will begin with something that will come so suddenly as to be unexpected."
