The fallen human race is burdened, unable to rise and walk to its great destiny planned by the Father. Instead, bent over, intent on earth and choosing what is sordid. Virtue mocked and set aside. The great triumph of man is to banish God from the marketplace and to call into question those who believe in Him. This degradation of mankind will lead to greater violence, more intense wars, a savagery never seen before, and the unleashing of weapons of mass destruction.
The Woman weeps, knowing that all could have been avoided. When the deluge comes, she will be ready to act. She has been held back until then because so few have believed in the Age of Mary.
