Fidelity amid the darkness...

March 10, 1977

"The confusion grows greater even within the Church and now spreads to every part of the world. The first to be stricken are the priests. Each day, the number of those who allow themselves to be misled by the error which leads to infidelity grows greater and greater...those who remain faithful are generally the most persecuted, the most ignored, and sometimes intentionally ostracized."
"Thus the darkness spreads and the smoke of Satan seeks to cover everything; each day the apostasy grows greater...your suffering will of necessity grow greater as the great apostasy spreads more and more."
"Accept, to the very dregs, this hour of darkness. Live this martyrdom of the entire Church, invaded by the night. Remain faithful and confident, now that infidelity becomes more widespread and extolled. Say yes to the Father and to your heavenly Mother, who is gently preparing you to live without fear."
