(Hos 10:12)  Sow for yourselves justice, reap the fruit of piety; break up for yourselves a new field, for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain down justice upon you."Sow for yourselves justice, reap the fruit of piety; break up for yourselves a new field, for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain down justice upon you.

FROM THE MAILBAG
VIA  A Moment with Mary List: 
Our Lady of Akita: Holy Water from Lourdes (I)

Agnes Sasagawa Katsuko, born in 1931, had had an appendectomy at age 19, but the excessive dose of the anesthesia the doctor injected left her paralyzed.  Her father, a man of great nobility, chose not to sue the medical staff.  Agnes told me that he said: "The doctor made an honest mistake in trying to cure my daughter, I will not seek to avenge myself." A Catholic nurse talked to her about Christ.  Agnes' conversion occurred peacefully, while she spoke openly to a Buddhist monk who respected her conscience.

In 1956, her state worsened: she went into a coma.  The sisters of Nagasaki sent some holy water from Lourdes to the Myoko Clinic.  As soon as she tasted the water Agnes regained consciousness: her inert limbs recuperated their mobility.  She was twenty-five years old at the time, and began to work with all her heart teaching catechism at the church of Myoko-Kogen.  But then she went deaf and had to stop this ministry.  Instead she entered the small convent of the Handmaids of the Eucharist in Yuzawada -- a contemplative community founded by the bishop of Niigata, Rev.  Shojiro Ito.

On the evening of July 5, 1956, as she started praying, Sr.  Agnes suddenly felt a cross-shaped wound in her left palm, 2 centimeters wide by 3 centimeters long.  It apparently looked like a scratch, but in reality she felt a deep stabbing pain, like a needle, preventing her from sleeping at night.  At 3 o'clock in the morning, she suddenly heard a voice (her guardian angel) say to her:

"Don't be afraid!  Do not pray only for your own sins, but in reparation for those of all mankind.  Today's world hurts the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord by its ingratitude and insults.  Mary's wound is much deeper than yours.  Now, let's go to the chapel together."

Bishop Shojiro Ito eventually obtained from Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the formal authorization to proclaim the authenticity of the Akita events and messages, before he retired due to his advanced age.  His conclusion, on April 22, 1984 (Easter):

"These facts, established after 11 years of investigations, are undeniable (...).  Consequently, I authorize the veneration of Our Lady of Akita."

Sister Agnes, the seer, was cured of her deafness in 2 stages (October 13, 1974, and May 30, 1982), but has now been paralyzed since August of 1981.  She lives in a profound interior peace.

AKITA APPARITON LETTER: Pastoral Letter of Bishop John Shojiro Ito April 22, 1984

AKITA: Third and the Last message on October 13, 1973:

    ". . . if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests."

    "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."

    "The demon will be especially implacable against the souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them."

    ". . . Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved."

CATHOLIC TRACT: A Terrible Warning – The Message of Our Lady of Akita

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 26- "On discernment of thoughts, passions, and virtues"

68. Above nature are chastity, freedom from anger, humility, prayer, vigil, fasting, constant compunction. Some of them men teach us, others angels, and of others the Teacher and Giver is God the Word Himself.
