The darkness will come from every side, but Mary’s great inner light will also come to everyone on earth. This great light will be prepared for the first sign given at Medjugorje. This first event will awaken the world because the time of the secrets has begun. Only those who listen to the messages of Medjugorje will correctly interpret this first event and know that the second event, the divine illumination, will come soon. This illumination must be preached and explained, taught everywhere, made public for all to know. If the Church brings forth this message, then great gifts will come. Although filled with intense suffering due to the heavenly light (like Saul going to Damascus), the souls will be purged by this illumination and will be prepared for future events. The Woman will not abandon the world, nor leave it in future darkness. These startling events are totally needed to form the new world of believers.
