Akita's Message of Warning & Hope
Prayer Meeting & Holy Hour of Adoration and Prayer for Our Nation Starts Soon | | |
Our Lady of Akita is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with the Marian apparitions reported in 1973 by Sister Agnes Sasagawa. The messages emphasize prayer (especially recitation of the Holy Rosary) and penance in combination with cryptic prophecies warning of sacerdotal persecution and heresy within the Catholic Church. A wooden statue representing the apparitions is venerated by the Japanese faithful and other Catholics. In December of 1973, a Japanese television station videotaped tears from the statue's eyes. The apparitions gained further notice with the sudden healing of hearing impairments experienced by Sasagawa after the apparitions. The local ordinary of the convent, John Shojiro Ito, Bishop of Niigata (1962–1985), recognized "the supernatural character of a series of mysterious events concerning the statue of the Holy Mother Mary" and authorized "the veneration of the Holy Mother of Akita" within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Niigata in a 1984 pastoral letter. |
