From Forums of the Virgin Mary [translation]:
It instructs how to avoid war, the destruction of the family, and the apostasy of the priests.
In Italy, Our Lady manifested herself through tears of blood and oil images to draw attention to a dramatic message.
She said the evil one is furiously attacking the family and the Church, and planning to generate a nuclear war to destroy humanity.
And she told us how we can combat the attack on the family, the apostasy in the Church, and the danger of the war escalating into a nuclear conflagration.
Here we will talk about how the manifestations of the Virgin occurred, what messages she [allegedly] gave, and the recommendations she gave to weather this crisis that we have upon us.
The Spanish priest Father Pablo Martín bought in Medjugorje a small plaster statuette, 17 inches, of the Queen of Peace and gave it to the Gregori family.
The family placed the Madonna in a niche in the garden of their house in the Pantano neighborhood of Civitavecchia, a city about fifty miles from Rome.
And there 3 things happened: tears of blood from the first statuette of the Queen of Peace of Medjugorje, exudations of oil from a second identical statuette, and apparitions and messages from the Blessed Virgin to the members of the Gregori family.
On the afternoon of February 2, 1995, the little daughter of the Gregoris, Jessica, only five years old, observed the “Madonnina” beginning to cry blood.
The next day, another tear occurs, which is witnessed by the parish priest Pablo Martín.
In the following days, other tears follow, until February 6, when the statuette is removed from its place and taken to the Bishopric.
On February 13, Bishop Girolamo Grillo received a phone call from the exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, who told him that a spiritual daughter of his had told him about this possible miraculous event in the summer of 1994, and begged him not to be skeptical, but the Bishop he did not want to believe Don Amorth’s words.
And on February 15, the image wept blood in the hands of Bishop Girolamo Grillo, who had been openly hostile to these demonstrations.
On February 10, 1995, an analysis carried out by experts from the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome indicated that the reddish liquid removed from the image was human male blood and other counter-analyses revealed that it was human blood with male and female characteristics, with a preponderance of female’s.
A radiological examination of the plaster image ensured that there was no apparatus or cavity in its internal structure, which would exclude any internal trick.
And on August 26, 1995, Our Lady would say in a message, “I cry because I am speaking to you in all parts of the world giving you extraordinary signs, but you do not listen to me.”
Later, the image was confiscated by the magistracy for several months in 1995 and in the middle of that year, after the confiscation was lifted, it was permanently placed in the Church of San Agustín.
But John Paul II asked Bishop Grillo to take the image to the Vatican so that he could pray before it, and the Pope blessed it and placed a crown on it and a Rosary in her hands.
Cardinal Andrzej Maria Deskur, a close friend of John Paul II’s, bought an identical image in Medjugorje and gave it to the Gregori family on behalf of the Pope and put it in the small grotto in front of the house, replacing the previous one. [scroll for more:]
And on April 3, 1996, a highly scented oily liquid began to emanate from it, which often also manifests itself in the ivy leaves that surround the grotto, in other nearby plants, and also in the stone of the grotto.
But in the middle of this the messages to the members of the Gregori family begin.
The first messages they receive come from an external male voice, audible by the ears; sometimes it is God the Father, other times it is [presumably] Jesus.
And then the apparitions and messages of the Virgin Mary begin.
In total there are 93 messages that the Virgin has delivered to the Gregori family, among which are two secrets for the bishop and one for the Pope.
When the news of these apparitions reached Bishop Grillo, the old skepticism returned; he interrogated the girl Jessica in September 1995, accusing her of lying, but the girl stood her ground.
And she revealed to him in a second meeting that the Blessed Virgin had told him that the bishop “has a heart of stone.”
Then the Bishop asked her to tell him a fact about himself that only he knew.
And Jessica later returned with not one, but several pieces of information about his person.
Clearly impressed, the bishop fell ill from the impact, all doubts vanished, and he became a great supporter of the plans of the Blessed Virgin.
The last apparition of the Virgin with a public message took place on May 17, 1996, but the private ones continued.
And what are these messages about?
They call for the defense of the Christian family because it is the center of Satan’s battle.
They warn of imminent dangers for the Church: confusion, apostasy, and persecutions, and for the world: calamities and nuclear war.
They say to ask for consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
They also call for the sacramental life, particularly Confession, the Eucharist, and Eucharistic Adoration.
She urgently calls for prayer, especially with the Rosary, and for penance, for reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture, and for faithfully following the Magisterium of the Church.
She also asks for devotion and a relationship with the guardian angels and makes an urgent call for the defense of life.
Our Lady specifically mentioned Fatima in her messages, saying “My children, the darkness of Satan now darkens the entire world and also darkens the Church of God. Prepare yourselves to live what I had revealed to my little children of Fatima.”
We know that we have already entered those predicted times and that “the years of the triumph of my Immaculate Heart are imminent.”
And then Our Lady revealed the third secret of Fatima to Jessica on August 27, 1995, and the girl visited Sister Lucy in 1996, and together they discussed the secret.
The central warnings are apostasy from the true faith, the satanic attack on the family, a third world war, and the importance of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, because the third secret of Fatima began to be fulfilled at the end of the second millennium.
Our Lady warns that Satan wants to unleash hatred and war to destroy humanity; he wants to tear down the Church of God, starting with the little domestic Church that is the family.
But she also spoke of the imminent final victory over evil with the return to the glory of the Lord.
Regarding apostasy Our Lady said, “Children, the Church has entered a period of great trial.” [scroll for more:]
“Satan is taking over all of humanity, and now he is trying to destroy the Church of God through many priests.”
And she said without a new conversion, many pastors will betray their vocation, even with serious scandals, and the Church will experience great apostasy.
And a special chapter refers to the risk of a nuclear world war, with incalculable consequences.
Our Lady said,
“Humanity is facing a looming tragedy. He doesn’t realize he’s about to get into a world war.”
It must be borne in mind that the messages occurred in 1995 and in that period the Soviet Union had dissolved and the Cold War ended, and Russia was no longer a danger to the West or to the world.
At the time, China had not started the race that made it the economic giant it is today, and it was not considered a military danger to the world.
Therefore it was humanly absurd to warn about a world nuclear war in 1995.
But Our Lady made these dramatic warnings, which unfortunately seem very relevant today.
The Virgin recalled that painful tribulations, calamities, and wars are always the consequence of corruption and sin.
And that we could stop the war, she said, “you have more powerful weapons than those used, which are love, prayer, humility, the Rosary, and the true conversion of your hearts to God through the Heavenly Mother.”
And although the family and the Church are going through their terrible Passion, after the painful years of darkness from Satan, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary will come, which today is already imminent.
Shortly after the events began to unfold, Bishop Grillo created an 11-member diocesan theological commission to study the events, including two representatives from the Vatican.
They met between 1995 and 1996 and in the end, the majority voted in favor of the supernatural nature of the events in Civitavecchia.
In 2005, Bishop Grillo published the diocesan dossier in which he made clear his position that the events had a supernatural character, and in his diary he reiterated the same conclusion, as well as in public homilies.
He consecrated his diocese and the city of Civitavecchia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on December 8, 1996, and raised the Church of Civitavecchia to the category of Sanctuary for the veneration of the image that had demonstrations.
Well, up to here what we wanted to tell about the manifestations of images of the Virgin Mary in Civitavecchia and the messages that the members of the Gregori family received about the attack of the evil one on the family, the apostasy in the Church, and the risk of nuclear world war.
And I would like to ask you if you think that it is possible that the invasion of Ukraine will trigger a nuclear war or that it is improbable for it to happen.
