Even as the storm clouds cover the heavens, all know that the sun still pours out its blessings. This is why I speak. Even as the events cast darkness over the world, my children must believe that I am more powerful than Satan’s clouds and that the victory will be mine.

What storms lie ahead! What great faith will be needed. These are not trials sent by God. They result from mankind choosing the darkness and subjecting himself to Satan’s plan. Every day, mankind constantly chooses Satan’s path. He knows only this road because he has banished the light. Now I must speak.

The storm clouds will gather. This is not a time of light (although the Father wanted it to be so). These clouds, as always happen, will cover over the sun and cast darkness upon the earth. This darkness will grow and many will lose all hope. The darkness will penetrate everywhere. No part of human life will escape its effects. I will shelter, by great inner gifts of light, all my children. Although they will also suffer from the external darkness, this darkness will not cause them to despair. They will discover my new touches upon their hearts. They will experience my presence accompanied by extraordinary desires to gather with others for mutual support. All of this will be new, my special outpouring, which my children will know from my words and experience from my actions upon them.

Still, the darkness will grow. No world leader will rise up, able to confront it. No group of nations will be able to scatter it. Many will believe that this new darkness will become the future state of mankind, the next era of human history. This will not be so, only because of the great gifts placed in my Immaculate Heart and released through the Catholic Church. O Church, I must awaken you to the Fatima gift which you have spurned and set aside. You, too, have chosen foolishly but you have never rejected me as your mother.
