Nossa Senhora de Akita verte sangue, chora e sua... A continuação das mensagens de Fátima no Japão
This miracle is also known as Fátima of Japan, for its close connection with its messages. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI concluded that the Mother's messages in Akita and Fatima are essentially the same.
It occurred in a convent in Japan in 1973. Preparation for the miracle began on June 12th when Sister Agnes Sasagawa Katsuko saw lightning luminous lights coming out of the tabernacle during adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (which was repeated for two more days in a row), receiving weeks later a painful stigma of Christ on the left hand (in the shape of a cross) followed by the appearance of angels singing to God - seen throughout the community of nuns.
Next, a sweet voice comes out of the image of the Virgin Mary, carved from a single block of wood (from the Katsura tree ) and is one meter tall, facing a cross, with the world at her feet. That was when she received the first message - on July 6th, addressed to her and indicating prayer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (see at the end of the post). The nun hears the message even though she is deaf. An angel even shows him a stigma similar to his on the image's right hand, dripping with blood, but with immensely greater pain.
Only on July 26 did blood flow from the sculpture's eyes, feet and hands . The next day, the angel explains to him that the blood that Our Lady shed was for the conversion of humanity, to beg and obtain peace and to repair ingratitude and insults against God.
On August 3rd, the nun receives her second message with very strong content, highlighting that God's wrath was preparing a great punishment for humanity, but that his hand and the sufferings of His Son on the cross and a group of souls chosen victims held back the calamities.
The third message from Mary arrives on October 13th, on the anniversary of the miracle of the sun in Fátima (CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE), with even greater regret:
Our Lady of Akita reinforces that if humanity does not repent of its sins, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity, greater than the flood of Noah's time. Fire will fall from the sky and eliminate a large part of humanity . The survivors will be so devastated that they will envy the dead. The only weapons that will remain will be the rosary and the sign of her Son (the cross). Pray the Rosary every day. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, Bishops and Priests.
The Mother asks for prayers from her favorite children because the enemy would bring great discord and conflicts within the church:
“The work of the devil will even infiltrate the Church in such a way that we will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be despised and fought by their confreres... churches and altars looted; The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the devil will pressure many priests and consecrated souls to abandon the service of the Lord.
The devil will be especially ruthless against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and severity, there will be no more forgiveness for them."
See the message dictated by Sister Agnes herself in the video below. Our Lady tasked her sister with spreading her words to all nations:

Among the first tears (like human ones, now no longer made of blood) that began some time later, in 1975, and the last on September 15, 1981 (Day of Our Lady of Sorrows), the image cried for 101 days. In an appearance of the angel to sister Agnes, she was given the explanation for this number:
Through one woman sin had entered the world and through one woman salvation had entered the world. The first 1 represented Eve, and the last number 1 represented Mary. The zero between the numbers represented God, the Eternal and Omnipotent.
On certain occasions the image of the Saint still changed her features, becoming sad and sweating on her forehead and neck. Almost every day there was filming, documentation and more than 2,000 eyewitnesses (Christians and non-Christians). A Japanese television network broadcast the crying image live to 12 million Japanese people.
All analyzes and investigations concluded that the blood, sweat and tears were from humans. Therefore, they came to be of supernatural origin.
Very serious tests were carried out with samples collected for analysis (the scientists were not informed that the samples came from the image), passing through two commissions of inquiry for eight years.
The sculptor of the image, a non-Christian, was shocked to see the image that changed his features when he cried , as well as changing his color, converting him to Catholicism. Sister Agnes was later cured of deafness as promised by Our Lady.
After 46 years, on October 6, 2019, the sister receives a new message announced by the angel that said:
"It is good that you tell everyone: cover yourselves with ashes and pray the penitent rosary every day . And you must become a girl (that is, convert) and offer sacrifices every day."
When listening to the holy mass, two days after the event, the homily on the story of the prophet Jonah , who preached conversion in Nineveh so that it would not be destroyed by God, he was convinced that he should spread the new message to the world. After these two days, the first case of coronavirus emerged in the world...
The messages of Our Lady of Akita are deeply linked to the messages of Fátima, with this miracle being yet another attempt by our Mother to rescue us from sin. It also reinforces the importance of the Eucharist for Christians , the need for the conversion of humanity and prayers for the reparation of sins.
Prayer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus of Our Lady of Akita
Our Lady asked in the second message that this prayer be done with conscience, that is, with real commitment:
“Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist, I consecrate my body and my soul to be entirely one with Your Heart, being sacrificed every moment on all the altars of the world and giving praise to the Father begging for the coming of His Kingdom.
Please accept this humble offer of mine. Use me as You wish for the glory of the Father and the salvation of souls.
Most Holy Mother of God, never let me be separated from Your Divine Son. Please defend and protect me as Your Special Son. Amen."
