From Forums of the Virgin Mary [translated from Portuguese]:

The Vision given to Blessed Palau about Satan’s attack on the Church and the world.

In 1864, in a sacred corner near Ibiza, the Carmelite and exorcist, Blessed Francisco Palau, received an exceptional celestial revelation, which has been spread very little, even though it is very important for understanding the current moment. 

A voice told him, “I am the angel of the Apocalypse.” 

And he announced a new cycle where Satan would be released.

The Archangel Michael revealed to him the magnitude of the power that the devil would have.

And the importance of turning to him for protection.

He revealed to him how the devil would carry out the revolution to extinguish the Commandments of God and create chaos.

He told him how he would infiltrate Christians and also how to detect him.

And it also gave us hope. He revealed that the angel told him that after the chaos, there will come a period of restoration and peace.

Here we explore the visions that were given to Blessed Palau, how the conflicts that are happening in the nations and within the Church are already this attack, and how the world and the Church will rise again after this period.

In 1864, on an islet near the island of Ibiza, where blessed Francisco Palau was retreating to discover God’s plans for the Carmelite Order, he heard a voice inside him, “I am the angel of whom [it is written] in chapter 20 of the Apocalypse.”

And it will reveal to him that a new cycle in history was beginning, in which what was prophesied in Chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation would be fulfilled,

“Satan will be released from prison. And he will go out to deceive the nations of the four sides of the earth.”

This angel, who was none other than Archangel Michael, also told him:

“The power of demons will be so great and their malice against men will be so great that God has ordered us to guard them to be saved from their perversity. 

“Without us, there is no man who can resist their lies and deceptions and malice.”

And 20 years later, Leo XIII received a vision about the greater power that Satan would have in society and in the Church for roughly a century or so.

He saw that a flock of demons were attacking the Vatican.

It was when he revised the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel so that the priests could pray it with the people, after each Mass.

This prayer to the Archangel Saint Michael is a true exorcism.

So first to Blessed Francisco Palau and then to Leo XIII, the greatest power that evil would have in the world and the Church was revealed.

But after the Second Vatican Council, liturgists asked John XXIII to remove the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel from the end of the mass. 

While the Christian people prayed this prayer at every Mass, the Catholic Church suffered violent external persecutions, but it did not suffer any very serious crisis within itself. [scroll for more:]

But when we stopped praying, the great disasters that accompany us to this day came.

And the explanation that was given to Blessed Palau by Saint Michael the Archangel was, “We act only according to the spirit of those who pray. According to what they do, we work; and as they ask us, we act.”

Then, as the people of God did not invoke Saint Michael the Archangel permanently, there was less protection, and the snares of the spirit of evil increased.

It was such a disaster that in 1972 Paul VI publicly admitted that “doubt entered our consciences, through windows that should instead have been opened to the light.”

“It was believed that after the Council there would come a sunny day for the history of the Church. Instead, a day of clouds, storms, darkness, and uncertainty has arrived.”

And he declared, “Through some crack the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God. There was intervention of an adverse power. His name is the devil.”

The vision that Blessed Palau had of this attack by the demons was that of a comet, whose tail was shaped like a sword, and was launching balls of fire towards the earth.

The comet showed him that the two hands and the sword they wielded went against Christ and his Church, and announced a war equal to that of the first centuries, but more horrible and without comparison.

Then he saw future events unfolding in a very clear sequence.

First, the world’s march towards social dissolution and the establishment of a chaotic anti-order as a result of an anti-Christian revolution.

Second, the denunciation of that revolution by God’s messengers and His disciples, followed by the just Divine punishment of iniquity. 

This surely includes the Marian apparitions and those who echo them, spread them, and draw conclusions to alert the people.

And third, the restoration of the Church and the nations by the work of the Holy Spirit and the advent of a period in which people will be imbued with the spirit of the Gospel, unprecedented in history. 

It is the era of peace after the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Meanwhile, today we are in the middle of the revolution against the order that Christianity had aroused, according to Palau, thus fulfilling the announcements of the Holy Scriptures about the apostasy of recent times.

Blessed Palau saw the revolution advance like an uncontrolled fireball, unable to stop.

And he said that when the chaos seems total, the revolution will have reached its peak.

This revolution will come and settle in the Church according to Palau.

Among the instruments of this internal offensive against the Church, some strange “priests” of the devil stood out.

He said that some of these men and women exhibit apparent religious virtue, they go to Confession, celebrate Mass, and take Communion frequently, but are subtly contrary to Christ.

He said, “You will see men who call themselves Catholic, but they blaspheme like demons and furiously persecute Catholicism.”

The blessed alluded to the existence of a “Judas” entrenched in the Church.

It did not refer to a particular individual, but to a kind of spiritual lineage, which over the centuries worked against the Church, from within the Church.

According to him, this lineage of evil manifested itself openly in certain heresiarchs, but for the most part it acted in secret, hidden from the mass of the clergy and the faithful.

The first instrument was Judas Iscariot himself.

And he attributed the birth of errors and disorders in the Church to this lineage of Judas: The one that Saint Pius X would later identify in the famous encyclical Pascendi as the modernists, direct predecessors of the current progressives.

And outside the Church, Palau identified four great successive historical offensives perpetrated by hell against the Church and Christian civilization.

The first was that of Islam.

The second was the schisms of the Orthodox Church, mainly the Greek one.

The third great infernal assault was Protestantism.

And the fourth began with the French Revolution of 1789, which is an offspring of Protestantism and the predecessor of Communism, and which must prepare the final chaos in which the antichrist will manifest itself.

Blessed Palau was a renowned exorcist, to the point that Gabriele Amorth referred to him.

And he taught that the devil acts in possessions on two levels.

At the lowest level are those we call possessed.

And then there are the leaders of anti-Christian movements, whom the devil possesses in a less obvious and subtle way.

Well, here is what we wanted to tell about the visions that Archangel Michael gave to Blessed Palau of the devil’s attack on the nations and the Church, how to protect ourselves, and how we will get out of this period.

And I would like to ask you what you think about what Palau said about the devil’s attack on the Church.
