I think that it makes sense, but we really don’t know… personally of course I hope it doesn’t happen 🙂
 
Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption… "( January 4, 1884).

“The three days of darkness « will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady. . . .» three days less one night.”

I have done some research trying to find three days that meet those criteria and have come up with the following -

+++++++++++++++September 13, 2012 - Thursday

St. Maria Faustina Kowalska of the Most Blessed Sacrament

Divine Mercy Chaplet originated from a vision that St. Faustina had of an Angel, the executor of divine wrath, on the evening of September 13, 1935. In the chaplet God is entreated with the following words:

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us.

Additionally -
The Fourth Eucharistic Congress closed on 9/13/1885

The Feast day of John Chrysostom (the Doctor of the Eucharist) is celebrated on September 13.

+++++++++++++++September 14, 2012 - Friday

Raising Aloft the Holy Cross or Exaltation of the Cross or Triumph of the Cross celebrating the finding of the true cross by St Helen on September 13 and its display for veneration on September 14

+++++++++++++++September 15, 2012 - Saturday

Our Lady of Sorrows Sept 15

Vatican approval for the celebration of a feast in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows was first granted to the Servite order in 1667.

By inserting the feast into the Roman Catholic calendar of saints in 1814, Pope Pius VII extended the celebration to the whole of the Latin Church. It was assigned to the third Sunday in September. In 1913, Pope Pius X moved the feast to September 15, the day after the Feast of the Cross.

What do you think? I am not attached to these dates but I have never seen any others even suggested before and wondered what anyone thought. Are there clear errors in these possibilities or does anyone else know a better choice for the three days?
Personally, I do not thing we can try to determine the dates for such events. If God does send this upon the world, I do believe there will be a warning and I do believe it will likely be part of the Major Chastisement. But, if we prepare our souls, and if we pray for those around us, then it does not really matter when, or even if, it happens.

Prepare. Pray. Smile. PPS 🙂
 
Praised be Jesus in every tabernacle of the world…
I had “The Warning” back in Dec of 1999. I know that I was given this great mercy to let others know about it. I have two spiritual directors and have permission to speak about what I am going to say.

This is the first year that I have felt so strongly that 'The Warning" could occur. I have also had dreams, and specifically one dream on August 16th that gave me a date of November 1st. I have been given other dates for this year, but I have prayed that GOD would give us the warning first before other events and I also prayed that He give me a date, and I was given the date of November 1st in my August 16th dream. Whether this is the warning or not, I was given this date, and I will not take this dream lightly, so I am letting others know about it too.

I would not take my dreams so seriously accept for the fact that I had a dream in 2007 about my neighbor 5 doors down who came to me from purgatory. The thing is, I did not know that he had died. My wife is a witness that this happened to me.

I, along with my wife and my 3 children pray and go to church together as a family every Sunday, but since these dreams have taken place, we try to go to church every day.

When I speak about The Warning, I mainly tell people to prepare by; going to confession, Adoration, fasting, doing plenary indulgences and going to Mass as often as possible. I truly believe we are at a tuning point in this world. Also, let me mention, I personally, in physical form have been attacked by satan many times, but now my oldest daughter shares in that reality because she has been attacked once. So satan really hates us as a family, but I am grateful and thankful that GOD has taken a personal interest in us as a family, because I would not be able to write these things to all of you.

Mari Loli of Garabandal said that the warning would take place shortly after the “synod of Bishops” would happen. The synod of Bishops takes place on the last Sunday of October. I found this information on September 3rd, but I was given the date of November 1st in a dream I had on August 16th, making it impossible for me to know that November 1st could be a real date for the actual occurrence of the Warning!!! Here is the site info for synod of Bishops:
pdtsigns.com/The_Illumination_Sign_and_Chastisement_near.html

Even if the warning is next year or the year after, time IS short, and we need to stay vigilant preparing our individual soul for “The Warning”. I will get “The Warning” again, but I will not be unprepared as I was then. Back in Dec of 1999 when I got the warning at 2am, it lasted for 27 minutes. I was shown that I was going to hell. The very next day I went directly to confession for I had not gone to confession for over 30 years, and I was shaking like a leaf with fear during that confession. I remember it well like it was yesterday.

PREPARE!!! THE WARNING IS REAL!!!

Jesus Christ, King of Mercy, I trust in YOU

Do you think that if people get the Warning who have not been to Confession or who haven’t been able to fully repent of sin, - would they be able to afterwards? I’m just wondering how it could be for someone to remain unconverted after the Warning… but apparently some would remain unconverted? 😦

if the Warning does happen, and even if it does not we still need to pray and do penance for others…

Also, I don’t really understand, is the Warning supposed to be accompanied by some sort of a sign like the Cross in the sky? or is this something else? My understanding of the Warning is that it’s like an illumination of conscience.
 
Praise Jesus in every tabernacle of the world…

First of all, let me make it clear; the world will get “The Warning” at the same time and it will most assuredly take place. It is also called “The illumination of Conscience” and called “The Awakening”. All three names are the same thing.

According to Saint Faustina’s diary, Entry #83 states: Before I come as the Just Judge, I am coming first as The King of Mercy. Before the Day of Justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort: All lights in the Heavens will be extinguished and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the CROSS will be seen in the SKY, and from the openings of the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day.” (end of entry #83) This is THE WARNING…My dream indicates it will happen in November, but even if it doesn’t happen in November, IT WILL HAPPEN SOON TO ALL THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME…

When it happens, I will go through it again. People who do not go to confession and are in serious sin will be in danger of losing their soul. Pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for that person. Entry 1565 in “The Diary of Sister Faustina” states: When I entered the chapel for a moment, the lord said to me, My Daughter, help Me to save a certain dying person. Say the Chaplet that I have taught you for him. When I began to say the chaplet, I saw the man dying in the midst of terrible torment and struggle. His Guardian Angel was defending him, but it was, as it were, powerless against the enormity of the soul’s misery. A multitude of devils was waiting for the soul. But while I was saying the Chaplet I saw Jesus just as He is depicted in the image. The rays which issued from Jesus’ Heart enveloped the sick man, and the powers of darkness fled in panic. The sick man peacefully breathed his last. When I came to myself, I understood how very important the Chaplet was for the dying. It appeases the anger of God.

So if you pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for a person who is going to hell, Jesus will plead for that person’s soul to His heavenly Father in the last hour of that person’s life. We must trust in Jesus’ Divine Mercy to redeem that person. Trust in Jesus that He will redeem that person from going to hell. Pray for all individuals whom you believe are in danger of losing their soul. GOD bless you,

Jesus Christ, King of Mercy, I trust in YOU.
 
Thanks for the reply… I am familiar with the Divine Mercy message 🙂 it’s a great message and very important for our time especially. I’m just wondering why you said that if a person is in serious sin, they’d be in danger of losing their soul in the Warning… wouldn’t the Warning help them to see they’re in sin so that they could repent and go to Confession afterwards? But I agree we should be prepared for the Warning and go to Confession regularly prior to that. I’m just wondering about those people who are not Christian.

God bless!

One cannot say that the warning is an absolute. One cannot say that the Three Days odf Darkness is an absolute. One can only say they believe that those things are possible, perhaps even likely, but they have NOT been given in Public Revelation, they belong only to private revelation and are not binding or formal teachings.

Monica4316: To answer your question: For those who are not Christian, understand that we must pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for those individuals. No one has the right to say, “You are going to hell because you do not believe in Jesus Christ”. Only Jesus can say this to a person who dies, but somehow, I cannot hear Jesus saying that to a person unless that person really hurt His world (ie: abortion, euthanasia, rape, murder, gay and lesbians who act upon it, priests who defile the sanctity of the most Holy Eucharist, etc, etc, etc…
Jesus is all benevolent and wants everyone in heaven and to believe anything else is not from GOD. The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to Jesus’ mercy.
Let no soul fear to draw near to Jesus, even though its sins be as scarlet.

I even know a gay man who does not act upon his being gay because he understands it is not from GOD. What a grace to understand this. We need to pray Monica for everyone!!! I will pray for your friends and family as my own. GOD bless you

Praised be Jesus in every tabernacle of the world…
irishpatrick What you have said is like saying that the prophets “private revelation” was nonsense and knew nothing about Jesus’ birth. Even though it was not formal teachings of the Torah and not binding in the words of the Torah, the prophets knew nothing in the eyes of the Pharisees and Sadducees……Oh what a mistake that was…

Firstly: You do not have to believe what I have said concerning “The Warning”. I have two spiritual directors who have given me permission to speak about “The Warning”. I do know “THE WARNING” WILL HAPPEN FOR THE WHOLE WORLD… because I had it. You may not want to believe in it, but to discourage others from believing in it is an action that you take against GOD who gave it to me. I am here as a disciple of the most Holy Lord and will remain so until He takes me.

Secondly: You want to call mystical experiences private revelation even when GOD sends it? In the old testament, the prophets had private revelation that spoke about our Lord and Savior, and all the prophets were killed even unto Jesus Christ, the Son of the living GOD. Now we have modern day prophets with private revelation like Saint Faustina, Saint Pio, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Saint Simon Stock, just to mention a few who have brought accepted private revelation that is being used by ALL Catholics; For example, The Most Holy Rosary, The Divine Mercy chaplet, and are you saying for people to ignore it? I hope not, because even scripture supports “The Warning”. Here is the warning in the bible:
Rev: 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Is this the final judgment? NO, it is before the final judgment.

The private revelation that Jesus gave to Saint Faustina, or if you want to say, Saint Faustina’s private revelation that was given to her by Jesus, nonetheless making it ALL private revelation, concerns itself with the “The Divine Mercy Chaplet”!!! Jesus demands that we say the Divine Mercy chaplet unceasingly to prepare for His second coming. Should we ignore this private revelation friend? I hope not. In that private revelation is entry # 83 speaking about “The Warning”. Do not ignore it or you will be caught off guard when it comes. Again, I do know that “The Warning” is going to happen. When? I do not know when, but IT IS going to happen for the whole world SOON.

What I have said is truth, but please do not discourage or confuse others by stating rules that do not apply here. If you are the person who can set up an investigation, then do it.

You are more than welcome to speak to me or one of my spiritual directors. Here is my email (people@divinemercyofjesus.org) and we can correspond privately instead of losing the salvation of souls for Jesus’ sake in our differences. The bible is not made to argue over, it is a guide, and everything that is coming is yet to come, but will happen. Prepare your soul like I do everyday for “The Warning”. I will pray for you as I hope you pray for me friend. I only want the best for your souls’ salvation when the time comes so please accept my humble apology if you do not agree with me, but there are people who have been given special mercies of our LORD and I am one of those people.

Jesus Christ, King of Mercy, I trust in YOU

Tanmara,

While I agree that certain private revelations are worthy of belief, if we are to follow Jesus and His Church, than we MUST accept that private revelations are NOT binding upon the faithful and lay Catholics are free to either reject or accept those revelation (if, and only if, they are approved by the Church).

This is what the Lord’s Church teachings formally (the Catechism), these are NOT my rules or statements, they come from Jesus’s Church:​

**There will be no further Revelation **

*CCC 66 "The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ."28 Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.

CCC 67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called “private” revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. **They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. ** It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.

Christian faith cannot accept “revelations” that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such “revelations”.*

The three days of darkness, and the warning, come from private revelations–not the Bible (which is public revelation).

Catholics are not bound to accept them as facts, and even the many private prophecies regarding those two events are often cited as being conditional based on prayer and conversion of the lay faithful. Therefore, one cannot say that the three days of darkness is an absolute, nor can lay Catholics say that the warning is an absolute. That is authentic Catholic Church teachings on these matters–I did not create it.

As for my own opinion, I believe there is a reasonable likelihood that those events will take place, but I cannot say that they will take place with absolute certainty because those propheices stem from private revelation and are NOT part of the Deposit of Faith.

I personally cling to our Lord and to His Church. I believe that Church teachings about these matters should be made clear, so that no-one falls into bad teachings or misunderstandings of what the Church formally holds as truth. I am happy to know you have such a great love for the Lord, so do I, and I want others to understand what our Lord’s Church actually teaches.

As for the rosary, divine mercy chaplet, Saint Faustina, etc., I pray them all and find them truly wonderful tools. However, Catholics are NOT mandated by the Church to use those tools that were given through Private Revelation–they are worthy, not not mandated. Big difference.

The greatest tools the Lord gave to us are:

**(1) The Mass (the single greatest form of prayer is the Mass).

(2) The Sacraments! **

If Catholics avail themselves of those two critical gifts (in real faith) they will be saved! According to Jesus, if we eat Body and drink His Blood, we will have life in us!

God Bless you. 🙂
 
Grace & Peace!

Generally on the 3 Days: it seems to me that the God who unleashes demons, punishes people for looking out a window, sends poison gas ala WWI mustard gas, and destroys the light for a period of days is not the same God that is revealed in the forgiving love of the Resurrected Jesus. The God of the Destroyed Light, the God of the Mustard Gas has much more to do with our fallen notions of what a powerful God (a God of Death) should be, and less to do with how God has revealed himself as having nothing to do with death through Jesus Christ.

Rest assured–if there is an event like the 3 Days, we ourselves will have caused it, and the God of Love and Life who desires that no one remain caught in death will have had nothing to do with it.

All is Grace and Mercy! Deo Gratias!

I’m sorry to say to you that this is completely wrong. The God of Mercy, Jesus Christ, is the same God of Revelation, and the Old Testament. God’s Providence guides all things, controls all events. That is the true and greatest mercy and needs to be appreciated, and this is the teaching of the Church.

The events of the 3 days, are the same as Biblical events, if one were to open the holy scriptures to certain places. All God’s work.

To choose one example, the blood of the lamb, painted upon the lintels to save the children of Israel in Egypt. The Lord’s work. 🙂
'Nothing happens in the the universe without God willing and allowing it. This statement must he taken absolutely of everything with the exception of sin. ‘Nothing occurs by chance in the whole course of our lives’ is the unanimous teaching of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, ‘and God intervenes everywhere.’
I am the Lord, He tells us Himself by the mouth of the prophet Isaias, and there is none else. I form light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil. I, the Lord, do all these things. 1 It is I who bring both death and life, I who inflict wounds and heal them, He said to Moses. 2 'The Lord killeth and maketh alive, it is written in the Canticle of Anna, the mother of Samuel, He bringeth down to the tomb and He bringeth back again; the Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth. 3 * Shall there be evil (disaster, affliction) in a city which the Lord hath not done? 4 asks the prophet Amos: * Good things and evil, life and death, poverty and riches are from God Solomon proclaims. 5 And so on in numerous other passages of Scripture.’
  1. 1s. 45:6-7 ; 2. Deut. 32:39 ; 3. 1 Kings 2:6-7 ; 4. Amos 3:6 ; 5. Ecclus. 11:14

The difference, of course, is that the blood painted on the lintels is Public Revelation given by God in the Bible, and affirmed by the Church. The three days of darkness is not part of public revelation. That is a critical difference. The three days of darkness might, or might not, happen.

Further, Deo Volente is correct from a certain point of view. If the three days of darkness happens, we will be to blame for it–we will have for all practical purposes brought it upon ourselves, even though the action will be sent by God.

It must be stressed that God has said all that is needed to be said for our salvation. He said that through public Revelation and through His Son in the Flesh. Private revelation can help us draw closer to the Lord, and it can help us better understand Public Revelation, and it can provide us warnings intended to help us repent and turn to the Lord, but it can never replace Publci Revelation and it can never contradict Public Revelation.
 
I don’t know where people get that from, maybe Yoda, but not Scripture. “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household” (Matthew 10:34).
But, just before His crucifixion Jesus said to them,

“Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid.” (John 14:27 - Douay-Rheims Holy Bible.)

Shin, I appreciate very much what you wrote, and I don’t disagree with the gist of it, but there are certain ramifications of what you say which I find difficult.
The God of Mercy, Jesus Christ, is the same God of Revelation, and the Old Testament.
Indeed! But let’s be clear, here. As Christians, the scriptures of the Old Testament are revelatory of the nature of God because they are referred first to the Resurrection. That is, all of scripture spirals into and out of that pivotal revelation of the nature of God. To the extent that we find God in scripture acting contrary to the nature of God revealed in the Resurrection, then we must come to the conclusion that the contrary behavior is in fact a projection of our own violence and hatred onto God as God leads us out of that violence and hatred and into the light of the loving forgiveness of the Resurrection. The revelation of the Resurrection shows the OT to be a record of God’s people struggling to come to grips with the fact that God has nothing whatsoever to do with death. In short: God is deathless. We are deathful. And we know this because after we murdered Jesus Christ on a cross, he rose again not as the vengeful God of the Dark Three Days, but as the forgiving and loving victim.

If we do not believe that the Resurrection is definitive of God’s nature, then what are we doing calling ourselves Christians? If in Christ there is not “yes and no” but “Yes!” (as Paul states) why do we insist on believing that the Lord of Life is also the Mighty God of Death, Destroyer of All? Why did Jesus make a distinction between his Father and the one who was a murderer from the beginning if his Father also traffics in death and murder?

God is not a killer. He is not a murderer who can justify his murders and call them righteous simply because he’s more powerful than we are, and who are we to argue? That characterizes God’s power as death-dealing, and confuses the mystery of God’s nature as a decidedly psychotic arbitrariness. The gospel reveals God’s power as life-giving, the mystery of God’s nature as steadfast love.
God’s Providence guides all things, controls all events. That is the true and greatest mercy and needs to be appreciated, and this is the teaching of the Church.
Sure–but it must be appreciated within the context of the revelation of God’s nature in the Resurrection–that is, God’s Providence is bringing the New Creation into being through and as the Church in order to accomplish his loving and forgiving purposes in creation, which purposes we attempted to frustrate when we fell.
The events of the 3 days, are the same as Biblical events, if one were to open the holy scriptures to certain places. All God’s work.
I will not believe in a God of Death, Shin. The events of the 3 days may have precedent in Biblical imagery, but I refuse to believe that God colludes in or traffics in death for the purposes of righteousness. If it is immoral for us to pursue a good end through evil means, how is it that we can believe that God uses evil means to accomplish his good ends and still insist on calling him righteous? You may say, “God’s ways are mysterious,” and that may be so. But his mysterious ways should not be in contradiction to his own revelation of his nature in the Resurrection which showed him as thwarting death and giving new life to those in the tombs. In fact, God’s righteousness is truly righteous precisely because death has no part in it!

I hope this goes some way to explaining why I feel the 3 days is entirely a human attempt at characterizing the justice of God in terms of our own deathfulness, when in fact, the justice of God is not different in any way from his love. Let’s remember I John: Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love.

That love, that forgiveness, that deathlessness revealed in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian message. It is the sine qua non of the gospel. Why would we choose to add death and darkness to it by believing something like the 3 Days?

Candles must be 100% beeswax! Purchase them and then have your priest bless them along with copious amounts of salt and water. Blessed candles, Blessed salt and Holy water are 3 things a Catholic family should never be without!. Don’t forget to have small Crucifix’ over the doors on the outside of your house either.
Is that akin to the Blood on the sides and above the doors of the houses of the Children of Israel to protect them from the final plague, the death of the first born males?

God warned Adam and Eve what would happened if they ate the fruit, and it came to pass not only for them, but for every human.

God brought the flood upon the world and only eight were saved.

God brought fiery destruction upon Sodom and Gommorah, and even Lot’s wife suffered the fate of being turned into a pillar of salt when she disobeyed God’s command.

God sent the plagues upon Egypt.

God sent His Angel to Egypt to smite the first born sons.

God will allow a Great Tribulation and a Great Apostasy leading up to Jesus’ Return.
