Transcript:

These messages were approved by the local bishop, who examined them, and he also consulted the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the time. There was nothing against them. Therefore, we can assume that the messages given by Our Lady to Sister Agnes are authentic. The main content is, of course, very relevant, especially considering the crisis within the Church the crisis of faith. God gives us messages or supernatural signs for the Church in times of crisis. These are means of spiritual help that the Church needs at these times, and they correspond to the specific nature of the crisis the Church is facing.

This, and still today, is a crisis of faith within the Church, a great confusion regarding doctrine, and disunity among priests, bishops, and others. This is evident. Our Lady spoke to Sister Agnes about the contrasts and opposing attitudes between priests, bishops, and cardinals, which still persist today, and have been visible for decades. It’s not a mystery. In this sense, we can consider these messages relevant for our time.

These messages are not meant for our curiosity but to inspire us to take action. They are meant to encourage us to make acts of reparation for this crisis, to pray earnestly and seriously to God that He may intervene in this immense confusion within the Church and clergy, even within the Holy See. Some actions and statements at the highest levels of the Church have contributed to this confusion.

We should pray to Our Lady, seek her intercession, and ask the holy angels to intervene, bringing us unity first at the top, so that the Pope may unify all bishops and cardinals. This is so important. From there, this unity should spread to the cardinals, bishops, and priests. We are a hierarchy, and as Our Lord said in the Holy Scriptures, "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be dispersed." The same is true today the enemy of the Church has struck the shepherd, and thus we have confusion at all levels.

Therefore, I consider the message of Akita to be very important, and we must continue with greater zeal, trust, faith, penance, and a spirit of preparation to implore divine intervention in the Church. We pray that God may grant us clear, courageous, and 100% Catholic popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests once again.
