huge factories which sap men's souls.
Craftsmanship will revive, and assembly
lines will give way to the working bench.
People will return to the land, but food
will be scarce for about three years.
Married women will bear many children,
for it will be regarded as a disgrace not to
have children, – no more "career women"
addicted to the "pill". Unmarried females—
there will be many—will enter the religious
orders and form large congregations of
Nuns within the reborn Church. Disease
will decrease dramatically, and mental
illnesses will be rare, for man will have
retrieved his natural environment. It will
be an age of faith, true brotherhood
between neighbors, civil harmony, peace,
and prosperity. The land will yield crops
as never before. Police will have little
work to do: crime will disappear almost
entirely. Mutual trust and honesty will be
universal. There will be little work for
lawyers, either. All the manpower which
is currently taken up by the wickedness of
the modern world will be released and
available for the production of useful
commodities. Thus, prosperity will be
very great. This wonderful period will
probably last 30 years approximately.
As soon as you see the sun rise again
at the end of the Three Days, drop to your
knees and give thanks to God.
Be warned, SPREAD THE MESSAGE,
MESSAGE
but do not fear: it would be an offense to
God to show lack of confidence in His
protection. Those who spread the message
will be protected, but the scoffers, the
skeptics, and those who dismiss the
message because they are frightened, will
not escape the chastisement.
WHAT TO DO NOW
SPREAD THE MESSAGE; do not be
put out by those who laugh it off or think
you are a bit odd. This is the price we
have to pay, for no disciple of Christ can
escape scorn or even persecution. Remain
in the state of grace. Go to Mass, and
regularly receive Holy Communion. Say
your rosary every day. Obtain some wax
candles and have these blessed by a
Traditionalist priest. Do not buy ordinary
white candles; they are not made of wax.
Do not trust either a "new-breed" priest to
bless your candles. Pray for the Church
and for the Pope in particular; it is not for
us to judge the Pope, no matter what he
does or says, – this is God's prerogative,
but we must pray for him. Say the prayer
to St. Michael which Leo XIII composed
after witnessing a terrifying vision of
Satan's power. Wear the Brown Scapular
and the miraculous medal. Deny yourself
some legitimate pleasures and entertain-
ment; many seers insist on this. Eat
sparingly, frugally, to sustain life more
than to gratify the palate. When the proxi-
mate signs are over, i.e., war and revolu-
tion culminating in the victory of commu-
nism, when you behold the Warning, then
store up food, drinking water, blankets
and other necessities.

DAYS of
DARKNESS
by Yves Dupont (1922-1979 A.D.)
THE ACT OF GOD
The most spectacular aspect of the Act
of God will be the three days of darkness
over the whole earth. The Three Days
have been announced by many mystics,
viz., Bl.Anna-Maria Taigi, Padre Pio, Eliza-
beth Canori-Mora, Rosa-Colomba Asdente,
Palma d'Oria, in Italy; Father Nectou, in
Belgium; St. Hildegard, in Germany; Pere
Lamy, Marie Baourdi, Marie Martel, Marie-
Julie Jahenny, in France. (This list is not
exhaustive; many more mystics have an-
nounced the Three Days.)
The Church does not oblige us to
believe in any particular prophecy as a
matter of faith, but we are indeed obliged
to believe that prophecies may be made
even in our own times, for this is in the
Gospel: the Holy Ghost will speak to
many in the Latter Days.
Moreover, when an identical prophecy
has been made by widely separated
people in time and space, when this
particular prophecy was accompanied by
other predictions which have already
come to pass, and when the holiness of the
mystics in question has been recognized
by the Church, we would be foolish
indeed not to believe that the prophecy
must come to pass. Such is the case con-
cerning the Three Days of Darkness. How
else could we explain that an illiterate
peasant woman of Brittany is describing
the very thing that another mystic in, say,
Germany or Italy is also describing?
THE PROXIMATE SIGNS
Here are the proximate signs in their
probable order of occurrence. This, to be
sure, is only my own opinion, and I may
be wrong for I am no prophet myself; but,
after studying a large number of prophe-
cies, this order appears to me to be the
most likely:
• Flouting of church laws, irreverence
and immodesty in church, fall in atten-
dance at church.
• Lack of charity towards others, heart-
lessness, indifference, divisions, conten-
tions, godlessness, pride in human
knowledge.
• Breakdown of family life: immorality,
adultery, perversion of youth (e.g. ho-
mosexuals giving lectures in schools),
immodest fashions (e.g. mini-skirts and
hot pants, bikinis and see-throughs),
people concerned only with eating,
drinking, dancing and other pleasures.
• Civil commotions, contempt for authority,
downfall of governments, confusion in
high places, corruption, coups d'etat,
civil war, revolution. (The first four
proximate signs have already come to
pass, at least partly; for we are yet to
see civil war and revolution in the West.
 But the sequence of events is not
strictly chronological; there is room for
some overlapping. Thus, the 5th proxi-
mate sign seems to have begun also.)
• Floods and droughts, crop failures,
unusual weather, tornadoes, earth-
quakes, tidal waves, famines,
epidemics, unknown diseases (e.g. new
strains of viruses).
THE WARNING AND THE MIRACLE
These will take place between the
proximate and the immediate signs. Both
will be supernatural occurrences, and the
Miracle will closely follow the Warning.
There will be a solar prodigy; a Cross will
be visible in the sky all over the world.
The Warning will be associated with the
letter "A"; it will not fall on a Feast day of
Our Lady, nor on the l8th of the month.
The Miracle will fall on the Feast day
of a young martyr of the Eucharist; this
will be on a Thursday evening, and it will
coincide with an important Church event.
Since the Miracle is to be seen only in
Northern Spain and in Rome, and since
the Cross in the sky is to be seen every-
where, it seems that the latter occurrence
will take place with the Warning, not with
the Miracle. However, the Miracle may
also have a Cross in the sky.
During the Warning, everyone will be
made aware of his/her own sinfulness, and
many will wish to die, but the Warning
itself will be completely harmless.
Both the Warning and the Miracle must
be viewed as the last act of mercy from
God, a final appeal to mankind to do
penance before the three days of darkness
and the destruction of three-quarters of
the human race. At a time when the
murder of unborn babies and the sin of
Sodom and Lesbos have become
respectable and sometimes legal, we
should not wonder why God is going to
punish mankind.
By that time, war and revolution will
have already caused a high deathtoll, and
2 3
Communism will be victorious, but all this
will be as nothing compared with the
deathtoll caused by the Three Days.
THE IMMEDIATE SIGN
It will be a bitterly cold winter night in
the Northern hemisphere. (Presumably, a
very cold summer night in Australia or, by
contrast, a torrid night.) The wind will
howl and roar. Lightning and thunderbolts
of an unprecedented magnitude will strike
the earth. The whole earth will shake,
heavenly bodies will be disturbed. (This
will be the beginning of the Three Days).
Every Demon, every evil spirit will be
released from hell and allowed to roam
the earth. Terrifying apparitions will take
place. Many will die from sheer fright. Fire
will rain forth from the sky, all large cities
will be destroyed, poisonous gases will fill
the air, cries and lamentations every-
where. The unbelievers will burn in the
open like withered grass. The entire earth
will be afflicted; it will look like a huge
graveyard.
As soon as you notice that bitterly cold
night, go indoors, lock all doors and win-
dows, pull down the blinds, stick adhesive
paper on vents and around windows and
doors. Do not answer calls from outside,
do not look at the windows, or you will
die on the spot: keep your eyes down to
make sure you do not see the windows;
the Wrath of God is mighty and no one
should attempt to behold it. Light blessed
wax candles; nothing else will burn, but
the candles will not be extinguished once
lit. Nothing will put them out in the
houses of the faithful, but they will not
burn in the houses of the godless. Sprinkle
holy water about the house and especially
in the vicinity of doors and windows: the
devils fear holy water. Bless yourself with
it and anoint your five senses with it: eyes,
ears, nose, mouth, hands, feet, and fore-
head. Keep on hand a sufficient supply of
drinking water and, if possible, food also
(but you can live without food for three
days.) Kneel down and pray incessantly
with outstretched arms, or prostrate on
the floor. Make acts of contrition, faith,
hope, and charity. Above all say the
Rosary and meditate on the Sorrowful
mysteries.
Some people, especially children, will
be taken up to Heaven beforehand to
spare them the horror of these days.
People caught outdoors will die instantly.
Three-quarters of the human race will be
exterminated—more men than women.
No one will escape the terror of these
days.
Blessed Anna-
Anna-Maria Taigi stated in re-
gards to this terrible Three Days of Dark-
ness Chastisement:
"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 shall come over the whole earth an
intense darkness lasting three days and
three nights. Nothing can be seen, and the
air will be laden with pestilence which will
claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of
religion. It will be impossible to use any
man-made lighting during this darkness,
except blessed candles. He, who out of
curiosity, opens his window to look out,
or leaves his home, will fall dead on the
spot. During these three days, people
should remain in their homes, pray the
Rosary and beg God for mercy."
"All the enemies of the Church,
whether known or unknown, will perish
over the whole earth during that universal
darkness, with the exception of a few
whom God will soon convert. The air
shall be infected by demons who will
appear under all sorts of hideous forms."
Prophecy of Ven. Elizabeth Canori-
Canori-
Mora (d. 1825) as recorded in Fr. Culle-
ton's book The Prophets and Our Times
1941 A.D. Imprimatur states:
"... the sky was covered with clouds so
dense and dismal that it was impossible to
look at them without dismay...the avenging
arm of God will strike the wicked,
wicked and in
his mighty power he will punish their
pride and presumption. God will employ
the powers of hell for the extermination of
these impious and heretical persons who
desire to overthrow the Church and
destroy it's foundation. .... Innumerable
legions of demons shall overrun the earth
and shall execute the orders of Divine
Justice...
Justice Nothing on the earth shall be
spared. After this frightful punishment I
saw the heavens opening, and St. Peter
coming down again upon earth;earth he was
vested in his pontifical robes, and
surrounded by a great number of angels,
who were chanting hymns in his honor,
and they proclaimed him as sovereign of
the earth. I saw also St. Paul descending
upon the earth.
earth By God's command, he
traversed the earth and chained the
demons, whom he brought before
St. Peter,
Peter who commanded them to return
into hell, whence they had come.
"Then a great light appeared upon the
earth which was the sign of the reconcilia-
tion of God with man. The angels con-
ducted before the throne of the prince of
the Apostles the small flock that had
remained faithful to Jesus Christ. These
good and zealous Christians testified to
him the most profound respect, praising
God and thanking the Apostles for having
delivered them from the common destruc-
tion, and for having protected the Church
of Jesus Christ by not permitting her to be
infected with the false maxims of the
world. St. Peter then chose the new pope.
pope
The Church was again organized..."
But, when all seems lost and hopeless,
then, in the twinkling of an eye, the ordeal
will be over: the sun will rise and shine
again as in springtime over a purified
earth.
Some nations will disappear entirely,
and the face of the earth will be changed.
There will be no more "Big Business" and
