"The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. 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. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests. Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved."  Message given by the Virgin Mary to Sister Sasagawa of Akito in 1973.  (October 13 1973)
