“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…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. Our Lady of Akita to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa October 13, 1973
The following is my recollection of what I experienced in prayer on November 10 and November 12, 2023. I post it here for your discernment. My only intention in posting this is to help people grow closer to God.
I went to Mass in the morning and during the Consecration I closed my eyes to pray. I saw in my head Our Lady of Sorrows. Her eyes with tears and dark circles, she looked like this;
Her face came so close to mine. And then she seemed to enter into my forehead. Suddenly I was viewing her from the top down. She bent over and I saw a fountain adorned with angels.
She was drinking from the fountain. I heard her say, “drink from the fountain of life,” but I also knew she was relaying to me that this fountain of life had to be dwelling inside of me in order to face the sorrows to come. As if she knew I understood, the image then changed, she was now Our Lady of Grace;
She was beautiful and was inside of a church looking out upon the people. There were hundreds of flowers like white daises hanging from the ceiling. Her hands were outstretched. The people had what looked like clouds of black spores over top their heads. But light emanated down from the daises and the black spores dispersed into nothingness and people’s heads became clear.
The last thing I saw was a top down view of a spiral wooden staircase. It reminded me of the miraculous staircase of Saint Joseph.
Then everything stopped and it was time for communion. All I knew was that whatever was coming would be a sorrow, and that we as a people need to be interiorly prepared, and that God and His Mother are working all things for the good of those who love them.
The next day Bishop Strickland was forcibly removed from His office.
Feeling disheartened I went on November 12, 2023 to our old chapel to pray. I laid prostrate on the floor and poured my heart out to God. I told Him that I understand the church teachings and I want to live them completely in my heart, not just know them in my head, and that I wanted to live them even if no one else did.
I closed my eyes and saw rows and rows of daises. These daises were living and breathing beautiful in a way I had never seen before. This was the 2nd time in 3 days I saw daises. I asked the Lord, “what’s with the daises?”
I got an immediate answer. “Daises bring comfort to a Mother who has lost a child.” And I again saw Our Lady of Sorrows, holding the Body of Jesus, but I knew that Mary was mourning for the church, to whom she is Mother. She was holding the Mystical Body. I burst into tears.
Then I realized though that the daises were alive in a way that only God could portray them, beautiful life of His creation, different than what we have corrupted. And I thought of how what’s impure and unholy needs to actually die, so a new Pentecost can be ushered in; one where the Gifts of the Spirit are poured out and we know that God alone is good.
We are being purged of our attachments to particular goods, so that, we will be attached to God alone, who is good.
Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.” Mark 10:18
Now is the time for praying without ceasing. Do not tire of praying for transforming union with God. Try not to be discouraged in your suffering and ask God to help you be thankful. It isn’t wise to focus too much on the sin of others that we cannot control and it definitely isn’t wise to want their eternal damnation. Want what God wants. Prepare yourself, purge your sin, and pray like never before and most of all Trust God.
“and let the one who believes in me drink.” As the scripture has said, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38

And now Cardinal Burke shamed… it’s truly as Our Lady of Akita said.
I know. I just met him a couple of weeks ago. He was so very humble actually.
This is such a beautiful reflection!! It encourages me to keep up my devotion to live in the Divine Will (Luisa Piccarreta). “I love You, I thank You, I praise You, I bless You, Lord!”
Thank you for your faithfulness!
Thank you. Any thoughts on how to do this when you are alone in your prayer life (husband and children not on the same page)? This is hard enough for those seeking God to understand.
Love them as you suffer because of them. Pray specifically for them. Place them in the chalice at Mass as your intention. Ask God to bring them to transforming union. Then trust God with them.
Pray very specifically for each one of them sharing your heart with God.
It is said that Francisco Marto prayed the Rosary all day long- now is a time to pray without ceasing.
Thank you for the confirmation. I will continue praying for them as I have for years. Complicated situation and I don’t see any movement in them. Working hard at total abandonment and trust.
Much of the blockage in praying for others is their sin. For example they may suffer from pride. The key I have been inspired to pray is reparation. You can offer your prayers, sufferings, Mass, etc in reparation for their sin and ask the Lord to forgive them for they know not what they do. It’s as though some of the darkness lifts from them so they are able to receive light. I also pray that they be given the grace to accept what is offered…Mercy.
What strikes me about the daisies is in my fields they die off and drop their petals and become unsightly and then I take the mower and chop them down spreading their seeds into the ground. But then then the spring they sprout up again beautiful and fresh and twice as many of them.
She showed you what is upon us. Our church has dropped its petals and become unsightly, as has much of humanity and the church and many of its people will be chopped down, but spring is coming and rising up with be new and fresh and twice in number, just like the daisies in my fields…
Yes. I believe that’s true.
So beautiful. Thank you. A message of preparation and hope. Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us!
May God Bless you!
Thank you… 🙏🏼Your timely post and sharing your interior life especially these days have hit home and given perseverance in keeping faith . When it seems the world is trying to crush our hope and prayer lives, to see faithful Catholics persecuted…. how can we not know that our time is coming too.
As you rightly said and perfect advice ….I’ll continue to pray for loved ones, friends and those who don’t know Christ… and put them in God’s hands. Your mention of Francisco Marto rings true in my heart. He’s a favorite, love his devotion to the “hidden Jesus” have been drawn in similar fashion since my reversion 20 years ago this month. It was truly a grace that I am forever grateful for. Thank you Susan for being a sister in Christ for us.
Thank you and God Bless you.
Father Michel Rodrigue told us that the Father’s favorite flower is the daisy!!
I am hearing from other forums and people that I trust, to prepare, NOW. I believe big things are about to happen. “Do not be afraid.” God has this! Pray, pray, pray!
I don’t think this will be easy in any manner. God wants that we rely only on Him.
