10. Akita - Japan 1973 - [Ref. 6A]
Complaint: Many people in this world hurt the Lord. The action of the devil is going to
infiltrate even the Church, to the extent that Cardinals will be opposing Cardinals, Bishops will
be set against other Bishops.
Request: Say the Rosary [the correct translation is "Pray the Rosary"] every day. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, the Bishops and Priests. Pray continuously for the Pope, Bishops and Priests. I am seeking for souls to console Him.
Prophecy: "If people do not repent and do not improve, the Father will send a terrible punishment on the whole of humanity. This will be a more serious punishment than the Flood, worse than any there has ever been. A fire will fall from heaven and will annihilate a great part of humanity, the good with the evil, sparing neither priests nor the faithful. The survivors will find themselves in such desolation that they will envy the dead."
World's Response: There has been limited promotion of this message. Although it has the approval of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (5) most people are not aware of it.

conversion).
Request: Listen to what the Lord expects from you through the Scriptures quoted. Go and preach everywhere. Build a large sanctuary here.

12. Medjugorje - Yugoslavia/Bosnia 1981/1993 - [Ref. 8 & 9]
Complaint: The world has gone materialistic and is going to total perdition and ruin.
Request: Pray, fast, do penance and return to the Sacraments. Reconcile yourself with God and with one another. Hurry!
Prophecy: Great chastisement will come after a warning and a great miracle (*). "Hurry, hurry to convert, the time people have is short!" - She is exhorting us.
World's Response: The public response has been of supernatural proportions. Millions of faithful have journeyed to the site. There have been millions of conversions. The Roman Catholic Church is not taking an active role in its promotion, yet it is making it easy for its dissemination on the merits of its rich yield of good fruit.
(*) We are no longer expecting either. Humanity is heading directly into the Chastisement.
NOTE: This apparition has all the indications of a "Last Call" and Our Lady has labeled it as such.
