So, on The Drew Mariani Show, Drew had an intriguing conversation with Dr. Mark Miravalle, a leading expert in Mariology. They explored the messages from Our Lady of Akita, a powerful apparition from Japan in the 1970s.

Here’s the gist:

Sister Agnes Sasagawa, a Japanese nun, received a series of visions and messages from the Virgin Mary back in 1973. These messages weren’t just for Japan—they were for the entire world. They’re as relevant today as they were back then!

The core of Our Lady’s message? Repentance, prayer, and a warning about the gravity of sin. She stressed that the world needs to return to God, or we’ll face some serious consequences. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Akita apparition was a statue of Our Lady that wept 101 times. The tears were tested and found to be human!  The reason for her sorrow? The loss of so many souls.

Our Lady’s messages included some serious warnings—like fire falling from the sky and nations being annihilated. But what really stood out was her call to prayer and penance. She emphasized that prayer, especially the Rosary, is our most powerful weapon—a key to God’s heart. 💖

Dr. Miravalle shared some deep insights, connecting these messages with themes like the power of the Eucharist and Our Lady’s role as Co-Redemptrix. He stressed how Our Lady is calling us to join her in offering our sufferings, much like Sister Agnes did despite her own trials.

As we witness the increasing rejection of God and rising evil in the world, we have a role to play. These messages, endorsed by the Church, are a call to action—prayer, repentance, and offering our sacrifices to mitigate what could be a devastating global chastisement.

So, what’s the takeaway? Get on your knees, grab your Rosary, and start praying! 🙏Offer up your sufferings. Our Lady’s messages are a wake-up call for all of us to turn back to God before it’s too late.
