The third message of Our Lady of Akita on October 13, 1973:

My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior."
After a short silence:

As I told you, 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 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 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 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.

With courage, speak to your superior. He will know how to encourage each one of you to
pray and to accomplish works of reparation.

It is Bishop Ito, who directs your community. And She smiled and then said:

You have still something to ask? Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice.
From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior. Pray very much the
prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamites which approach.
Those who place their confidence in me will be saved.

"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation.
It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I
warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy
in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church."
