INTRODUCTION
We have touched upon the Three Days of Darkness in a document that we published
on-line in the year 2000 (1). The
following is a detailed description of the warning that Padre Pio is said to
have received from Our Lord Jesus Christ. We have no doubt about the truth of
this account, although we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the translation.
We have decided to publish it since it will be instrumental in understanding
what miguel de Portugal published (2)
about the mechanism of this event. Some recommendations like: "Keep
your windows well-covered. Do not look out." may sound foolish but, now
that we understand how it will take place, they are not foolish at all. Enough
said!
DETAILS
The following was excerpted from the translation of a copy of a personal letter,
written by Padre Pio (died 1968, canonized 2002) and addressed to the Commission
of Heroldsbach appointed by the Vatican. The letter testifies to the truth and
reality of the revelations given by Our Lord to Padre Pio, a Capuchin priest who
bore the stigmata. (3)
In the following visions of Jesus experienced by Padre Pio are warnings which
seem to be referring to the Three Days of Darkness.
New Year's Eve 1949: Jesus to Padre
Pio
"My son, My son, I have been longing for this hour in which I again shall reveal
to you the great love of My heart . . . Pray and make reparation to Me.
Admonish others to do the same because the time is near at hand in which I shall
visit My unfaithful people because they have not heeded the time of My grace.
Persevere in prayer, so that your adversary shall have no dominion over you.
Tell My people to be prepared at all times, for My judgment shall come upon them
suddenly and when least expected - and not one shall escape My hands, I shall
find them all! I shall protect the just. Watch the sun and moon and the stars
of the Heavens. When they appear to be unduly disturbed and restless, know that
the day is not far away. Stay united in prayer and watching until the angel of
destruction has passed your doors. Pray that these days will be shortened."
January 23, 1950: Jesus to Padre Pio
"Pray! Make reparation! Be fervent and practice mortification. Great things
are at stake! Pray! Men are running toward the abyss of Hell in great
rejoicing and merry-making, as though they were going to a masquerade ball or
the wedding feast of the devil himself! Assist Me in the salvation of souls.
The measure of sin is filled! The day of revenge, with its terrifying
happenings is near - nearer then you can imagine! And the world is sleeping in
false security! The Divine Judgment shall strike them like a thunderbolt! These
Godless and wicked people shall be destroyed without mercy, as were the
inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorra of old. Yes, I tell you their wickedness was
not as great as that of our human race today!"
January 28, 1950: Jesus to Padre Pio
"Keep your windows well-covered. Do not look out. Light a blessed candle,
which will suffice for many days. Pray the Rosary. Read spiritual books. Make
acts of Spiritual Communion, also acts of love, which are so pleasing to Us.
Pray with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the ground, in order that many
souls may be saved. Do not go outside the house. Provide yourself with
sufficient food. The powers of nature shall be moved and a rain of fire shall
make people tremble with fear. Have courage! I am in the midst of you."
February 7, 1950: Jesus to Padre Pio
"Take care of the animals during these days. I am the creator and preserver of
animals as well as man. I shall give you a few signs beforehand, at which time
you should place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the
elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of sustenance afterwards
as well. Let no one go across the yard, even to feed the animals - he who steps
outside will perish! Cover your windows carefully. My elect shall not see My
wrath. Have confidence in Me, and I will be your protection. Your confidence
obliges Me to come to your aid."
"Hurricanes of fire will pour forth from the clouds and spread over the entire
earth! Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth
for two days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will take place! It will begin
during a very cold night. All this is to prove that God is the Master of
Creation. Those who hope in Me, and believe in My words, have nothing to fear
because I will not forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will
come to those who are in the state of grace and who seek My Mother's
protection."
"That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will give you the following
signs and instructions: The night will be very cold. The wind will roar. After
a time thunderbolts will be heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no
one outside the house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins,
and beg My Mother's protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because the
anger of God is holy!" Jesus does not want us to behold the anger of God,
because God's anger must be contemplated with fear and trembling.
"Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly. The wind will carry
with it poisonous gases which will be diffused over the entire earth. Those who
suffer and die innocently will be martyrs and they will be with Me in My
Kingdom. Satan will appear to have triumphed. But in three nights, the
earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun will shine again,
angels will descend from Heaven and will spread the spirit of peace over the
earth. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will take possession of those who
survive this most terrible ordeal, the impending punishment, with which God will
visit the earth since creation."
"I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as Belgium, Switzerland,
Spain, who have received these revelations so that other countries also may be
prepared. Pray the Rosary, but pray it well, so that your prayers may reach
Heaven. Soon a more terrible catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such
as never before has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before
experienced! How unconcerned men are regarding these things! Which shall so
soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How indifferent they are in
preparing themselves for these unheard of events, through which they will have
to pass so shortly! The weight of divine justice has reached the earth! The
wrath of My Father shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again
warning the world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done
heretofore."
"This catastrophe shall come upon the earth like a flash of lightning! At which
moment the light of the morning sun shall be replaced by black darkness! No one
shall leave the house or look out a window from that moment on. I Myself shall
come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked shall behold My Divine Heart.
There shall be great confusion because of this utter darkness in which the
entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from fear and
despair."
"On that day, as soon as complete darkness has set in, no one shall leave the
house or look from out of the window. The darkness shall last a day and a night
followed by another day and night, and another day - but on the night following,
the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall rise again,
and it will be springtime! In the days of darkness, My elect shall not sleep,
as did the disciples in the Garden of Olives. They shall pray incessantly, and
they shall not be disappointed in Me. I shall gather My elect. Hell will
believe itself to be in possession of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it."
