00:00:00.000 When Jessica was asked about the central message given by Our Lady in Civitavecchia, she replied, speaking of the demons, the main message is that they want to destroy the family, and then the apostasy in the church, and the risk of a third world war.
00:00:17.120 Hello and welcome to this episode of the John Henry Weston Show. We're going to speak about an interview with Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò with LifeSite News.
00:00:33.140 I know everybody's interested in Archbishop Viganò's condemnation of Archbishop Gregory in Washington, D.C. for having really slandered the President of the United States.
00:00:44.940 Archbishop Viganò called him a false shepherd. However, even more important than that, Archbishop Viganò, the former nuncio of the United States, explains the history of a very special apparition of Our Lady, approved by the church, that's only 25 years old.
00:01:01.160 In those revelations, Our Lady spoke about the apostasy in the church and the darkness that overshadows Rome, the need to consecrate Italy to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
00:01:10.100 She also spoke about the risk of a third world war following the apostasy. You're going to want to stay tuned. 0.79
00:01:20.380 Take a look at this. This is Cardinal Burke talking in 2017 about demonic forces entering the church at that time in 2017. Hard to believe that's so long ago.
00:01:30.360 This was given at Rome Life Forum, a conference that LifeSite has been running since 2014, actually. Do you know that we're running another one this year, October 31st and November 1st?
00:01:41.760 That is right at the end of this horrific synod on synodality. October 31st, November 1st, 2023. Come join us in Rome. Go to romelifeforum.com for more information.
00:01:56.180 Watch Cardinal Burke give this snippet on demonic forces entering into the Vatican from his talk at Rome Life Forum in 2017.
00:02:05.140 It seems clear from the most respected studies of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima that it has to do with the diabolical forces unleashed upon the world in our time and entering into the very life of the church.
00:02:20.620 For the recovery of peace will be a gift from heaven, but it is not, properly speaking, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her victory is of another order, supernatural, and then temporal by addition.
00:02:36.620 It will first be the victory of the faith, which will put an end to the time of apostasy and the great shortcomings of the church's pastors.
00:02:47.640 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:02:53.500 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:02:58.920 So right off the bat, let me tell you that one of the most interesting things about this apparition of Our Lady is that the main seer, whose name is Jessica Grigori,
00:03:07.600 the daughter of the family who witnessed these apparitions and supernatural events, was given by Our Lady the content, get this, of the Third Secret of Fatima.
00:03:18.140 And this message was passed on to Pope John Paul II at the time.
00:03:22.160 In fact, Jessica herself met in 1996 with Sister Lucia of Fatima and was able to compare her message with the message that Sister Lucia received.
00:03:33.300 LifeSite News interviewed Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano on this subject because he spoke about the visions or the apparitions in Civitavecchia,
00:03:46.180 which is located just in the outskirts of Rome.
00:03:50.640 And so we asked Archbishop Vigano why he mentioned this, what happened there.
00:03:54.980 And here's what he said, by the way, this whole account, the whole full interview, which is a very long interview, can be found on LifeSite News.
00:04:03.160 I'm going to give you main clips from it, but I welcome you, I encourage you to go read the full interview at LifeSite News.
00:04:09.880 Archbishop Vigano described what happened at these apparitions 25 years ago in Civitavecchia this way.
00:04:16.460 He said on February 2nd, 1995, at 4.21pm, Jessica Grigori, a little girl who was not even six years old at the time, she was still five,
00:04:28.180 was about to go to Holy Mass with her family when for the first time she saw a small statue of Mary Most Holy crying tears of blood
00:04:38.000 in the small stone grotto which her father had recently built in front of their house.
00:04:43.140 Fabio, her father, was putting his 18-month-old son David into the car when he heard his daughter crying out repeatedly.
00:04:51.900 When he heard the word blood, he rushed over and realized what was happening, even though at first it was quite perplexing.
00:05:00.940 He continued, this is Archbishop Vigano's account of what happened at Civitavecchia.
00:05:06.240 He said from that day on, the phenomenon repeated itself a total of 13 times in front of crowds of witnesses until February 6th.
00:05:18.860 Numerous public security agents who were promptly called by Fabio were also present uninterruptedly during these days
00:05:26.320 to guard the sacred image and would also give sworn testimony about these events during the investigation.
00:05:34.080 A storm broke out around the young family.
00:05:36.960 The parish priest, who was the first eyewitness after the members of the family, informed the diocesan bishop,
00:05:43.540 a Monsignor Girolamo Grillo.
00:05:47.060 But Bishop Girolamo did not want to know about the event.
00:05:51.900 In fact, he tore up the first report that was written by the parish priest himself.
00:05:57.980 Bishop Girolamo's hostility to the events was very strong and triggered negative media reaction.
00:06:04.120 At the request of various parties, the judiciary even, that's the local authority,
00:06:09.660 investigated the family on multiple counts.
00:06:11.920 They carried out all sorts of research and examination on the liquid, on the statue,
00:06:18.080 and in the homes of the Grigori family and their relatives.
00:06:23.060 Fabio Grigori himself pushed for these investigations to be carried out
00:06:27.040 because he wanted the truth to be revealed and to protect his family,
00:06:31.360 even to the point of proposing to mortgage their house
00:06:35.480 in order to pay for the very expensive DNA testing that needed to be done.
00:06:39.880 And remember, this is only 25 years ago, by the way.
00:06:43.100 So Archbishop Vigano continued this way.
00:06:45.520 He said,
00:06:46.360 The statue of Mary was confiscated by the bishop and kept in his own home,
00:06:51.520 where it continued to weep blood in front of various witnesses until March 15th.
00:06:57.660 Bishop Girolamo himself told me what happened that day.
00:07:01.580 That is, Archbishop Vigano recounting that Bishop Girolamo himself told Archbishop Vigano
00:07:08.020 what happened that day, March 15th.
00:07:11.360 And here's what he said.
00:07:13.060 It was 8.15 in the morning.
00:07:15.420 After celebrating Holy Mass, Bishop Girolamo acceded to his sister's request
00:07:19.840 to pray before the sacred image, which he had been keeping in a closet.
00:07:25.800 With the people who were present that day, Bishop Girolamo began reciting the Hail Holy Queen.
00:07:30.980 And when they said the line,
00:07:34.540 Turn then, most gracious advocate, then eyes of mercy towards us,
00:07:40.360 the statue began to weep blood.
00:07:43.580 The shock was so great that the bishop had to receive first aid from a cardiologist.
00:07:49.200 And to continue with Archbishop Vigano's account, he said,
00:07:55.360 After this disturbing event, Bishop Girolamo radically changed his attitude.
00:07:59.760 He stopped the DNA investigation.
00:08:02.760 He established a theological commission and began an ecclesiastical process to study and verify the event.
00:08:09.580 As he himself, that's the bishop himself, would declare, he changed from being a judge to a witness.
00:08:17.720 In the meantime, the Pope, who was at that time John Paul II,
00:08:21.420 let the bishop know that he was personally interested and invited him not to be skeptical.
00:08:27.040 Now the tables were turned.
00:08:29.900 The media turned against the bishop and did not accept his testimony.
00:08:34.260 And the judiciary, that's the local authority, took the little statue into custody.
00:08:39.300 At that point, John Paul II gave a tangible sign of his support and closeness.
00:08:45.040 On April 10, 1995, Heath, that's Stompol II, sent his close friend, Cardinal Andrzej Maria Descour,
00:08:53.380 to preside over a prayer vigil in the diocesan cathedral in reparation for the seizure of the statue.
00:09:01.600 On that occasion, the cardinal also blessed on the Pope's behalf a second statue
00:09:07.600 that was identical to the one that had cried, which was then given to the family.
00:09:12.820 Subsequently, this new statue would display phenomenon of exuding a fragrant oil before numerous witnesses.
00:09:22.800 The same statue, that's the second statue, wept tears of water during the days of the final agony of John Paul II in 2005.
00:09:32.180 And then, again on the same days, from March 28th to April 2nd the following year,
00:09:40.680 on March 31st, 2006, Bishop Griot personally witnessed this weeping once again,
00:09:47.180 and he testified to it publicly in the press.
00:09:50.760 Archbishop Vigano continues this way.
00:09:52.420 He said,
00:09:52.640 After the first statue of the Blessed Mother was released from custody by the judiciary on June 11th, 1995,
00:10:00.880 John Paul II wanted to venerate and crown her in the Vatican at his apartment,
00:10:06.540 but in secret so as not to interfere with the investigation of the diocesan commission.
00:10:11.140 He later confirmed in writing that this event happened in a document dated October 8th, 2000,
00:10:17.120 which was personally signed by him, that's by Pope John Paul II, on the following October 20th.
00:10:24.700 On June 17th, 1995, the original statue of the Blessed Mother was solemnly exposed in the parish church
00:10:32.240 in Civitavecchia for the public veneration of the faithful, where she remains to this day.
00:10:39.000 On March 15th, 2005, the 10th anniversary of the last time the statue wept in 1995,
00:10:47.340 the diocesan bishop issued a decree for the construction of a shrine.
00:10:53.180 So we asked, that's LifeSite News' Dr. Micah Hickson, who did this interview,
00:10:58.600 this fantastic interview with Archbishop Vigano,
00:11:01.320 we asked him, what are the main messages of Our Lady to Jessica and her father, Fabio Gregori?
00:11:10.000 And the Archbishop responded this way.
00:11:12.600 He said, beginning on February 6th, 1995, shortly after the 13th occasion of weeping,
00:11:18.720 Fabio heard an external voice talking to him.
00:11:21.920 Actually, Anna Maria, his wife, had already previously been the recipient of revelations
00:11:28.100 in the form of dreams, and little by little, the entire family gradually became involved
00:11:33.180 in the celestial manifestations.
00:11:36.320 Archbishop Vigano continued,
00:11:37.960 But from that moment on, this voice spoke many times, but with different identities.
00:11:42.860 Sometimes the father, God's God the father, sometimes the son.
00:11:46.260 Then, beginning on July 2nd, 1995, a series of apparitions began to happen
00:11:50.860 of Jesus, Mary, and the angels, including numerous messages ending on May 17, 1996.
00:11:59.200 The Blessed Virgin also appeared again recently, giving a message on December 23rd, 2018.
00:12:07.960 When Jessica was asked about the central message given by Our Lady in Civitavecchia,
00:12:13.460 she replied, speaking of the demons, the main message is that they want to destroy the family,
00:12:21.100 and then the apostasy in the church, and the risk of a third world war.
00:12:27.080 Archbishop Vigano continued, he said,
00:12:29.460 The most obvious message is the sign of Mary weeping tears of blood.
00:12:34.080 The voice heard by Fabio revealed that it is the blood of Jesus shed for all the children
00:12:40.100 who turn away from her immaculate heart to give you salvation.
00:12:44.860 This, at the same time, both a warning of grave danger and the offering of the means of salvation.
00:12:53.360 Archbishop Vigano said,
00:12:55.500 There is also a heartfelt warning of a particular danger for Italy.
00:12:59.500 And he quoted from the apparition,
00:13:02.960 Your nation is in grave danger.
00:13:05.220 In Rome, darkness is descending more and more.
00:13:07.700 You are on the rock that my son Jesus left you on,
00:13:10.700 which to build up, educate, and spiritually raise his children.
00:13:15.560 Bishops, your task is to continue the growth of God's church,
00:13:19.400 since you are God's heirs.
00:13:21.260 End quote.
00:13:22.560 The messages contain a warning of a fierce attack by Satan against the family
00:13:28.420 as a strategy to destroy the church,
00:13:32.260 Archbishop Vigano said,
00:13:33.280 adding,
00:13:34.620 Together with an internal attack made by means of many priests.
00:13:40.820 Archbishop Vigano also said,
00:13:42.880 The heartfelt and strong words are precisely those of a distressed mother.
00:13:46.700 And then quoting from the apparition, he said,
00:13:48.880 Children, the church has entered the period of a great trial,
00:13:52.320 and in many of you the faith will become unstable.
00:13:55.620 End quote.
00:13:56.080 The messages, he said,
00:13:59.140 also warn of a great danger of a third world war,
00:14:03.200 which may be a nuclear war,
00:14:05.820 but which can be stopped with,
00:14:07.600 quote,
00:14:08.240 Weapons stronger than those used,
00:14:10.500 which are love, prayers, humility,
00:14:12.920 the rosary,
00:14:13.580 and true conversion of your hearts to God
00:14:15.900 through our Heavenly Mother,
00:14:17.540 who is holding you all in her arms,
00:14:19.900 close to her immaculate heart.
00:14:21.760 End quote.
00:14:22.160 There is an insistent request
00:14:26.860 for the consecration of families to her immaculate heart,
00:14:30.060 Archbishop Vigano relates.
00:14:32.520 Not only of families,
00:14:33.500 but also of parishes, cities, dioceses,
00:14:35.900 and the world
00:14:36.620 as a pledge of protection on her part.
00:14:40.900 And quoting from the apparition again,
00:14:42.440 he says,
00:14:43.180 Consecrate yourselves all to me,
00:14:44.960 to my immaculate heart,
00:14:46.140 and I will protect your nation
00:14:47.700 under my mantle now full of graces.
00:14:50.360 And she begs,
00:14:51.180 this is Our Lady begging,
00:14:52.620 Listen to me, please, I beg you.
00:14:55.520 I am your Heavenly Mother,
00:14:56.920 I beg you,
00:14:58.000 do not make me weep again,
00:14:59.920 seeing so many of my children die for your faults
00:15:02.740 by not accepting me
00:15:04.600 and allowing Satan to act.
00:15:06.980 End quote.
00:15:08.580 But the appeals of Our Lady
00:15:10.500 also instill great peace.
00:15:12.720 And Archbishop Vigano quotes Our Lady again,
00:15:14.860 saying,
00:15:15.720 My immaculate heart will transform
00:15:17.300 your sufferings into joys
00:15:18.760 which you accept with true love.
00:15:21.160 For these are trials
00:15:22.720 which the Lord Jesus allows.
00:15:24.920 You know that here on LifeSite
00:15:28.620 we love to tell amazing stories.
00:15:31.700 There are a few so heroic and amazing
00:15:34.380 as the story we're about to tell you
00:15:36.660 that's coming soon.
00:15:38.320 You gotta watch this.
00:15:39.140 When I was in seminary
00:15:43.240 I was reading a book by Henry Nouwen
00:15:45.340 he talked about a nuclear man
00:15:47.600 you know and people who grew up in the 1980s
00:15:50.540 were kind of formed by that immediate
00:15:53.100 and constant threat of nuclear annihilation.
00:15:57.980 My generation has grown up
00:16:00.280 you know under the specter of priestly sexual abuse.
00:16:04.180 What say you Mr. Foreperson
00:16:05.760 is the defendant guilty or not guilty?
00:16:08.720 I think that for many of us
00:16:10.460 that has also been all-encompassing.
00:16:13.300 You know I mean
00:16:13.660 I entered the seminary in January of 2004
00:16:17.400 and it's basically been there for me
00:16:19.880 from in the beginning.
00:16:23.280 One priest's sacrifice
00:16:25.280 for many priestly sins.
00:16:29.140 The story of Father John Hallowell.
00:16:32.240 Coming soon from LifeSite News.
00:16:37.360 We also asked Archbishop Vigano
00:16:39.340 we said
00:16:40.640 this is
00:16:41.380 Dr. Micah Hickson said
00:16:43.240 there was an investigation
00:16:44.360 of these supernatural events
00:16:46.060 by a diocesan commission.
00:16:48.060 Can you tell us about the results
00:16:49.360 of that investigation
00:16:50.580 and whether the apparition
00:16:52.840 has been approved by the church?
00:16:55.020 Archbishop Vigano explained
00:16:56.240 that the diocesan commission
00:16:57.580 set up by the bishop
00:16:58.580 expressed itself in favor
00:17:00.360 of the supernatural nature
00:17:02.540 of the event
00:17:03.160 by a majority.
00:17:04.780 Moreover, he said
00:17:05.660 in 1997
00:17:06.580 Bishop Grillo himself
00:17:08.220 forwarded the results
00:17:09.560 to the Congregation
00:17:10.900 for the Doctrine of Faith
00:17:11.980 and on October 27, 1997
00:17:15.380 the CDF announced
00:17:17.360 the establishment
00:17:18.040 of a commission
00:17:19.000 presided over
00:17:19.880 by Cardinal Camillo Ruini.
00:17:22.900 This commission was dissolved
00:17:24.400 without ever publishing
00:17:25.340 a verdict
00:17:25.780 which juridicially means
00:17:27.820 the tacit confirmation
00:17:28.940 of the diocesan commission's verdict.
00:17:32.080 So there are numerous signs though
00:17:34.340 of indirect recognition
00:17:35.700 by the church
00:17:36.340 explained Archbishop Vigano
00:17:37.540 and these are those.
00:17:39.300 So he said
00:17:40.260 first of all
00:17:41.300 the solemn exposition
00:17:42.860 of the miraculous statue
00:17:44.300 of the Blessed Mother
00:17:45.040 to the public veneration
00:17:46.200 in the parish church
00:17:47.260 in accord with the request
00:17:48.820 made to Fabio
00:17:51.300 by the voice
00:17:52.080 heard on February 6, 1995.
00:17:53.760 Secondly,
00:17:55.360 the solemn consecration
00:17:56.580 of the city
00:17:57.240 of Civitavacchia
00:17:58.420 and the diocese
00:17:59.980 by the bishop
00:18:00.700 in obedience
00:18:01.520 to the Virgin's message
00:18:03.020 of December 7, 1995
00:18:04.700 which was read publicly
00:18:06.440 during the ceremony
00:18:07.420 on December 8, 1996.
00:18:10.340 Third,
00:18:11.180 the document drawn up
00:18:12.500 by the bishop
00:18:12.960 on October 8, 2000
00:18:14.860 and countersigned
00:18:15.920 by Pope John Paul II
00:18:17.620 on October 20, 2000
00:18:19.340 certifying
00:18:20.500 the pontifical veneration
00:18:22.300 and crowning
00:18:23.300 of the statue.
00:18:24.840 Fourthly,
00:18:25.520 the decree
00:18:26.300 of erection
00:18:27.120 of the diocesan shrine
00:18:29.040 at the parish church
00:18:30.080 where the statue
00:18:30.960 is venerated.
00:18:32.440 Again,
00:18:33.160 the holy mass
00:18:33.820 celebrated
00:18:34.460 by the diocesan bishop
00:18:35.740 in the house
00:18:36.580 of the Gregori family
00:18:38.800 as well as
00:18:40.200 the simultaneous
00:18:41.080 written removal
00:18:42.360 of all prohibitions
00:18:44.340 previously prudentially issued
00:18:46.520 against the family.
00:18:47.680 Also,
00:18:49.760 the publication
00:18:50.500 by the diocesan bishop
00:18:52.000 of a dossier
00:18:53.120 on the event
00:18:53.940 on the 10th anniversary
00:18:55.500 of the weeping
00:18:56.320 in the diocesan review
00:18:57.920 of 2005.
00:19:00.100 Also,
00:19:01.100 there's the desire
00:19:02.020 expressed in writing
00:19:03.260 by Bishop Griot
00:19:04.520 to publish news
00:19:06.060 and messages
00:19:06.800 on the event
00:19:07.760 in a book
00:19:08.780 written by
00:19:10.000 the vice president
00:19:10.920 of the diocesan
00:19:12.540 theological commission
00:19:13.640 which was published
00:19:14.760 in 2005
00:19:15.740 by Father Flavio Ubudi.
00:19:19.200 Also,
00:19:20.120 there are numerous
00:19:21.000 written and filmed
00:19:22.200 testimonies
00:19:23.100 by Bishop Griot
00:19:24.020 about the tears
00:19:25.260 and also
00:19:26.180 the exuding of oil
00:19:27.920 as well as
00:19:28.840 his relationship
00:19:29.500 with the Gregori family.
00:19:31.860 There is also
00:19:32.820 the announcement
00:19:33.480 of the beginning
00:19:34.380 of construction
00:19:35.060 of the shrine
00:19:36.100 by Bishop Griot's
00:19:37.160 successor,
00:19:37.780 Bishop Carlo Ciannis
00:19:39.440 on August 28, 2008.
00:19:42.260 He later died
00:19:43.120 prematurely
00:19:43.820 and was unable
00:19:44.460 to complete the project.
00:19:46.000 However,
00:19:46.580 he was able
00:19:47.160 to leave
00:19:47.640 a written letter
00:19:48.660 of attestation
00:19:49.540 of the fidelity
00:19:50.300 of the Grigori family
00:19:51.480 to the church
00:19:52.080 on March 1, 2008.
00:19:55.040 Finally,
00:19:55.820 there's the solemn
00:19:56.660 coronation
00:19:57.320 of the holy statue
00:19:58.740 by Bishop Ciannis'
00:20:00.780 successor,
00:20:01.960 Bishop Luigi Marucci
00:20:03.540 on April 26, 2014
00:20:05.360 who was the bishop
00:20:07.380 at the time.
00:20:08.520 He has since resigned
00:20:09.480 and that was done
00:20:11.160 in the presence
00:20:11.960 of the bishop emeritus
00:20:13.300 and Archbishop
00:20:14.620 Giovanni Mara.
00:20:17.240 So we also asked
00:20:18.920 Archbishop Vigano
00:20:20.220 that we mentioned
00:20:22.380 that Cvedevacchia 1.00
00:20:23.480 also contains
00:20:24.720 the message
00:20:25.200 that there will be
00:20:26.220 a great apostasy
00:20:27.600 in the Catholic Church.
00:20:30.480 Dr. Hickson noted
00:20:31.720 that many believe
00:20:32.620 that there are bishops
00:20:33.400 and cardinals
00:20:34.300 within the church
00:20:35.080 who are either Freemasons
00:20:36.300 or collaborate
00:20:37.460 with Freemasons.
00:20:38.400 we asked Archbishop Vigano
00:20:40.220 if he thought
00:20:41.360 himself
00:20:42.940 or had any knowledge
00:20:44.800 of this
00:20:45.600 especially in light
00:20:46.520 of his diplomatic work
00:20:48.800 in the diplomatic core
00:20:50.080 of the church.
00:20:51.400 He responded,
00:20:52.280 he said,
00:20:52.620 that the Masonic octopus
00:20:54.940 clutches the Catholic Church 0.91
00:20:57.060 in its tentacles
00:20:58.240 is neither a rumor
00:21:00.420 nor a secret.
00:21:02.500 Right in the Vatican,
00:21:03.880 the very stronghold
00:21:04.940 of the Catholic Church,
00:21:06.120 Masonry 0.77
00:21:06.620 has armed itself
00:21:07.740 with diabolical patience
00:21:09.320 and waited
00:21:09.960 until it reached
00:21:11.100 the levers of power
00:21:12.900 and command.
00:21:14.580 The heart of Catholicity,
00:21:16.900 continued Archbishop Vigano,
00:21:18.020 which by divine mandate
00:21:19.600 must be a beacon,
00:21:21.300 has long been home
00:21:23.020 to a pomp
00:21:23.880 and pretension
00:21:24.840 that decays it.
00:21:27.780 Archbishop Vigano
00:21:28.780 continued,
00:21:30.220 In Civitavecchia,
00:21:31.720 during an apparition
00:21:32.800 in the garden
00:21:33.540 of the house
00:21:34.200 on August 27, 1995,
00:21:36.120 the Blessed Virgin
00:21:36.780 transmitted
00:21:37.400 an alarming message
00:21:38.540 referring to
00:21:39.840 what was already
00:21:41.140 revealed at Fatima.
00:21:42.720 And this is the quote,
00:21:43.980 My children,
00:21:45.040 the darkness of Satan
00:21:46.040 is now obscuring
00:21:47.140 the whole world
00:21:48.440 and it is also
00:21:50.060 obscuring the church
00:21:51.280 of God.
00:21:52.540 She said,
00:21:53.580 continued,
00:21:54.420 Prepare to live
00:21:55.620 what I had revealed
00:21:56.960 to my little daughters
00:21:57.900 of Fatima.
00:21:59.160 After the painful years
00:22:00.340 of Satan's darkness,
00:22:01.360 the years of the triumph
00:22:03.060 of my immaculate heart
00:22:04.120 are now imminent.
00:22:05.820 End quote.
00:22:07.480 Archbishop Vigano said,
00:22:09.060 All the evidence shows
00:22:10.920 that we have entered
00:22:12.200 this time of trial.
00:22:14.300 A decisive test.
00:22:16.340 Quote, he said,
00:22:17.140 the sufferings
00:22:18.160 of the church
00:22:18.900 as Pope Benedict XVI said
00:22:21.280 on the same journey
00:22:22.420 to Fatima
00:22:22.940 that was in 2010.
00:22:26.720 He said,
00:22:27.540 Pope Benedict said,
00:22:28.660 Those trials
00:22:29.860 come from within
00:22:31.020 the church,
00:22:32.320 come from within,
00:22:33.320 from the sin
00:22:33.900 that exists
00:22:34.440 in the church.
00:22:35.660 This has always been known,
00:22:36.900 but today we see it
00:22:37.880 in a truly terrifying way.
00:22:40.000 End quote.
00:22:42.540 Archbishop Vigano continued,
00:22:44.140 he added,
00:22:44.540 and if the triumph
00:22:45.560 of the immaculate heart
00:22:46.380 is not far away,
00:22:47.880 now is the time of battle
00:22:49.440 and she,
00:22:51.140 who is our leader,
00:22:52.300 that's our lady, 0.94
00:22:53.180 and cura demptrix, 0.76
00:22:54.740 wants to see us fight,
00:22:57.280 suffer,
00:22:57.880 and implore her victory,
00:22:59.560 which is now at the gates.
00:23:00.940 And he quotes
00:23:02.260 our lady
00:23:02.700 in these words,
00:23:04.220 Through you
00:23:05.400 I can spread
00:23:06.500 the light of faith
00:23:07.440 in these days
00:23:08.100 of great apostasy.
00:23:09.380 You are the light
00:23:10.320 of the Lord
00:23:10.840 because you are
00:23:11.680 children totally
00:23:12.880 consecrated to me.
00:23:14.100 Let yourselves
00:23:14.720 be guided by me
00:23:15.960 if you listen to me
00:23:17.320 with true love
00:23:18.140 and fulfill my requests
00:23:20.140 by walking the path
00:23:21.420 that I point out
00:23:22.380 to you
00:23:22.760 in your mind
00:23:23.660 and your heart.
00:23:25.000 through you
00:23:28.420 I can realize
00:23:30.040 the great divine design
00:23:32.160 of the great triumph
00:23:34.100 of my immaculate heart.
00:23:36.000 That was a message
00:23:36.720 from Our Lady
00:23:37.260 given September 8, 1995.
00:23:39.140 We did ask
00:23:42.360 Archbishop Vigano
00:23:43.180 if he had ever met
00:23:44.520 the visionary
00:23:45.620 Jessica Grigori
00:23:46.700 and the Grigori family
00:23:48.080 and he answered this way.
00:23:50.460 He said,
00:23:50.860 Bishop Griot,
00:23:51.700 whom I knew well
00:23:52.880 for many years
00:23:53.760 since he also worked
00:23:55.040 in the Secretariat of State
00:23:56.340 where Archbishop Vigano worked,
00:23:59.460 he said,
00:23:59.940 Bishop Griot
00:24:01.900 invited me
00:24:02.860 to Civitavecchia
00:24:04.120 to introduce me
00:24:05.220 to the Grigori family.
00:24:06.940 It was on the occasion
00:24:08.060 of the Feast
00:24:08.860 of Pentecost
00:24:09.740 at the end
00:24:10.620 of the 1990s.
00:24:12.220 We were gathered
00:24:13.020 in prayer
00:24:13.540 in front of the little grotto
00:24:14.800 surmounted by shrubs
00:24:16.900 where the statue
00:24:17.860 of Our Lady stood.
00:24:19.340 It was then
00:24:19.940 that I personally,
00:24:21.280 that's Archbishop Vigano
00:24:22.480 speaking,
00:24:23.380 that I personally
00:24:24.540 witnessed
00:24:25.180 the exuding
00:24:26.160 of perfumed balm
00:24:28.060 from the base
00:24:29.060 of the statue.
00:24:30.280 The balm
00:24:30.960 even exuded
00:24:31.780 from the leaves
00:24:32.640 of one of the shrubs
00:24:33.720 and a drop
00:24:34.680 fell on my head.
00:24:36.420 Given the importance
00:24:37.200 of the exuding oil,
00:24:38.500 Bishop Griot
00:24:39.460 took the statue
00:24:40.440 in his hands
00:24:41.120 and while Fabio Grigori
00:24:43.220 led us inside the house,
00:24:45.080 we took some cotton
00:24:46.300 and collected the balm
00:24:47.560 that continued
00:24:48.360 to flow out copiously.
00:24:50.400 I had the opportunity
00:24:51.760 to hold the statue
00:24:52.880 of the Virgin
00:24:54.100 in my own hands.
00:24:55.940 In memory of that
00:24:57.120 extraordinary event,
00:24:58.380 I still keep
00:24:59.260 a handkerchief
00:24:59.940 with a wad
00:25:01.280 of cotton
00:25:02.060 that was soaked
00:25:02.840 in the miraculous balm
00:25:04.140 as well as
00:25:05.560 a small leaf
00:25:06.640 from which
00:25:07.480 a drop of the balm
00:25:08.660 dripped onto my head.
00:25:10.560 Hello, friends.
00:25:13.580 To celebrate
00:25:14.180 the momentous overturning
00:25:15.480 of Roe v. Wade,

00:25:43.380 was 25 years.

00:25:56.280 Dr. Hickson also asked
00:25:57.920 Archbishop Vigano,
00:25:58.960 it seems that Jessica
00:26:00.200 received from Our Lady
00:26:01.260 the content
00:26:01.960 of the Third Secret
00:26:03.260 of Fatima,
00:26:04.240 which she then 0.91
00:26:05.180 passed on to the Pope.
00:26:07.100 Our Lady said, 1.00
00:26:08.000 quote,
00:26:08.320 The darkness of Satan
00:26:09.640 is now darkening
00:26:10.500 the whole world
00:26:11.260 and is also darkening
00:26:13.040 the Church of God.
00:26:14.060 Prepare to live
00:26:15.020 what I had revealed
00:26:15.920 to my little daughters
00:26:16.860 of Fatima.
00:26:18.220 We asked Archbishop Vigano
00:26:19.620 if he could tell us
00:26:21.080 about Jessica's meeting
00:26:22.500 with Sister Lucia
00:26:23.440 in the 90s
00:26:24.240 and what their conversation
00:26:26.380 brought about.
00:26:28.980 And Archbishop Vigano
00:26:30.220 responded,
00:26:31.220 Regarding the content
00:26:32.220 of the secret
00:26:33.140 received from Jessica
00:26:34.440 and reserved
00:26:35.120 for the Pope alone,
00:26:35.960 it was written
00:26:36.700 by her hand
00:26:37.760 and sealed
00:26:38.340 in a sealed envelope
00:26:39.480 and delivered
00:26:40.400 to Bishop Grillo.
00:26:41.520 It was never revealed
00:26:43.040 whether it was actually
00:26:44.060 delivered to the recipient.
00:26:45.900 As for the meeting
00:26:46.920 with Sister Lucia,
00:26:48.320 Archbishop Vigano said,
00:26:49.760 here is what is known.
00:26:51.280 In 1996,
00:26:52.520 Jessica went on pilgrimage
00:26:53.680 to Fatima
00:26:54.180 with her family.
00:26:55.340 They were accompanied
00:26:56.260 by the spiritual director,
00:26:57.800 Father Manuel Hernandez-Gerrez,
00:27:00.240 who celebrated mass
00:27:01.740 in the monastery
00:27:02.480 of Cuombra
00:27:03.300 where in the presence
00:27:04.540 of the Grigori family
00:27:05.720 and Sister Lucia
00:27:06.920 and at the end
00:27:07.820 of the service,
00:27:08.700 Jessica and Sister Lucia
00:27:10.120 had a private conversation.
00:27:12.700 Those who know
00:27:13.500 Sister Lucia's comportment,
00:27:15.580 added Archbishop Vigano,
00:27:17.100 and obedience
00:27:17.880 can understand
00:27:18.980 that the mere fact
00:27:20.280 that this meeting
00:27:20.840 took place
00:27:21.320 without having been preceded
00:27:22.800 by the usual procedures
00:27:24.000 is obviously
00:27:25.360 something out of the ordinary.
00:27:27.360 The event is witnessed
00:27:28.780 in writing
00:27:29.460 with great detail
00:27:30.440 and has never been denied.
00:27:33.420 So,
00:27:34.400 Archbishop Vigano added,
00:27:35.840 more than this,
00:27:36.820 I believe,
00:27:37.800 that no one
00:27:38.740 will ever know
00:27:39.700 since Sister Lucia is dead
00:27:41.180 and Jessica
00:27:41.840 does not let a word
00:27:43.560 slip to anyone
00:27:44.620 about the secret.
00:27:46.520 The account of the visit
00:27:47.880 by the spiritual director
00:27:49.260 can be found
00:27:50.000 in Father Flavio Ubodi's book
00:27:52.380 Civitavecchia 25 Ani con Maria.
00:27:57.360 Lifesight also asked
00:28:01.100 Archbishop Vigano
00:28:02.400 about Our Lady of Civitavecchia
00:28:04.940 having said,
00:28:06.860 and I quote,
00:28:07.780 Satan is taking over
00:28:09.340 all humanity
00:28:10.340 and now he is trying
00:28:11.340 to destroy the Church of God
00:28:12.840 through many priests. 0.53
00:28:15.280 End quote.
00:28:16.500 We asked Archbishop Vigano
00:28:18.320 to comment on these words.
00:28:20.220 He actually replied
00:28:21.260 saying any comment
00:28:22.460 would be superfluous.
00:28:23.840 He quoted further
00:28:25.980 Our Lady's words.
00:28:27.620 This is Our Lady
00:28:28.220 in her appearance
00:28:29.360 of Civitavecchia
00:28:30.320 saying this,
00:28:31.440 and I'll quote them all directly.
00:28:33.320 Quote,
00:28:33.820 I am giving you painful news.
00:28:36.220 Satan is taking over
00:28:37.280 all humanity
00:28:38.040 and now he is trying
00:28:39.320 to destroy the Church of God
00:28:40.880 by means of many priests. 0.72
00:28:43.820 She continued,
00:28:45.000 Satan knows
00:28:46.020 that his time
00:28:46.700 is running out
00:28:47.380 because my son Jesus
00:28:48.680 is about to intervene.
00:28:49.960 I beg you,
00:28:51.980 help me.
00:28:53.020 Do not let my son intervene
00:28:54.520 because I,
00:28:55.960 your mother,
00:28:56.540 want to save many souls
00:28:57.820 and bring them to my son
00:28:59.340 and not leave them to Satan.
00:29:01.840 Pray that God,
00:29:02.800 our Father,
00:29:03.460 will grant me
00:29:04.180 some more time
00:29:05.040 because this is
00:29:06.160 the last period
00:29:07.140 granted to me by God.
00:29:09.200 My mantle is now
00:29:10.580 open to all of you,
00:29:12.320 full of graces
00:29:13.180 to place you all
00:29:15.020 close to my Immaculate Heart.
00:29:16.940 It is about to close.
00:29:18.320 Then my son
00:29:19.680 will deliver
00:29:20.280 his divine justice.
00:29:24.060 So,
00:29:24.900 she added,
00:29:26.640 by the way,
00:29:27.600 that a danger
00:29:28.800 looms
00:29:29.460 over the Holy Father,
00:29:30.980 that's over the Pope,
00:29:32.200 a fierce attack
00:29:33.180 by Satan.
00:29:34.700 End quote.
00:29:36.660 So,
00:29:37.420 finally,
00:29:37.940 Life Sight asked
00:29:39.000 Archbishop Vigano,
00:29:40.760 it seems that
00:29:41.780 the message
00:29:42.460 of Our Lady
00:29:43.100 of Chivitvecchia
00:29:44.100 is also one of hope
00:29:45.380 and we asked him
00:29:46.560 to end there
00:29:47.260 with his reflections
00:29:49.200 on that.
00:29:50.160 He said,
00:29:50.780 the last message
00:29:51.680 given on December 23rd,
00:29:53.000 2018,
00:29:54.060 seems to me
00:29:54.780 to be the best answer
00:29:56.080 to the question.
00:29:57.380 On that day,
00:29:58.620 in the shrine
00:29:59.380 of the Statue
00:30:00.240 of Our Lady,
00:30:01.600 the parish church
00:30:02.500 of St. Augustine,
00:30:03.400 the Holy Virgin,
00:30:04.060 appeared to Fabio
00:30:05.120 and Anna Maria
00:30:06.080 during Holy Mass
00:30:07.040 and gave this message.
00:30:09.800 She said,
00:30:10.660 and I quote,
00:30:11.100 The church of my Jesus
00:30:13.040 is clouded
00:30:13.800 by the smoke of Satan
00:30:14.840 and many consecrated people
00:30:16.380 called to preach his word
00:30:17.740 have fallen
00:30:18.300 into Satan's traps,
00:30:19.940 just as Judas also fell.
00:30:22.660 But Jesus loves them
00:30:24.480 and hopes
00:30:25.100 in their conversion
00:30:26.040 and salvation.
00:30:27.800 She continued,
00:30:28.980 To you we have entrusted
00:30:30.680 a task
00:30:31.320 to bear witness
00:30:32.140 to the truth,
00:30:33.380 Jesus Christ,
00:30:34.700 to point
00:30:35.260 to the point
00:30:36.320 of ascending Calvary
00:30:37.600 and being nailed
00:30:38.400 to the cross with him.
00:30:39.660 You are asked
00:30:41.740 to bear witness
00:30:42.420 to what we have
00:30:43.320 entrusted to you,
00:30:44.460 to be always faithful
00:30:45.520 and obedient
00:30:46.100 to the church
00:30:46.920 of my Son Jesus,
00:30:49.300 bearing witness
00:30:50.060 to the truth
00:30:50.820 and rejecting the lie.
00:30:53.880 He asked you
00:30:54.680 to carry the cross.
00:30:55.940 The road will be long,
00:30:57.160 torturous and suffering,
00:30:58.600 but then
00:30:59.300 the light of the Lord
00:31:00.560 will shine forth
00:31:01.480 and you must bear witness
00:31:02.860 to this light
00:31:03.660 in the normality
00:31:05.120 of daily life
00:31:06.280 by your words
00:31:07.180 and life.
00:31:09.660 She continued,
00:31:10.880 May the church
00:31:11.400 in her militant
00:31:12.440 little remnant
00:31:13.600 fight and resist,
00:31:15.160 unyielding to any compromise
00:31:16.680 with the world
00:31:17.380 and its prince,
00:31:18.780 indifferent to the approval
00:31:20.160 of others,
00:31:21.020 insensitive to flattery,
00:31:22.660 always absorbed
00:31:23.460 in God like Mary,
00:31:25.220 lost in him
00:31:26.140 and faithful.
00:31:28.500 And Archbishop Vigano
00:31:29.900 said that he would like
00:31:31.480 to conclude our interview
00:31:32.900 in the words
00:31:34.040 of the great Pope
00:31:35.700 Pius XII
00:31:36.500 and he quoted them,
00:31:38.560 You,
00:31:39.620 kneeling at the feet
00:31:40.920 of the Immaculate Queen,
00:31:42.580 must be willing
00:31:43.340 not to rest
00:31:44.940 until you see
00:31:46.260 her reign supreme
00:31:47.920 over everything
00:31:49.280 and everyone,
00:31:50.380 first in yourselves,
00:31:51.840 then around you,
00:31:52.960 in families,
00:31:53.920 classes,
00:31:54.700 and social groups,
00:31:55.720 and in all private
00:31:57.000 and public activities.
00:31:59.140 End quote.
