"On the 19th of September, 1846, I saw a lady brilliant like the sun, whom I believe to be the Holy Virgin. However, I have never said it was the Holy Virgin. I have always said that I saw a lady, but never ventured to affirm that it was the Holy Virgin."

"From what I am going to state here, it appertains to the Church to judge whether it was truly the Holy Virgin or some other person. She gave me my secret about the middle of Her conversation with me, after these words: 'The grapes shall rot, and the chestnuts shall be bad.' The Lady began by saying to me:

1. Three fourths of France shall  lose the faith, and the other fourth, that will preserve it, will practice it with tepidity.
    
2. Peace shall not be given to the world until men will be converted.
   
3. A Protestant nation in the North shall be converted to the faith, and through the means of that nation, the others shall return to the Holy Catholic Church.
    
4. The next Pope shall not be a Roman.
   
5. When men shall be converted, God will give peace to the world.
   
6. Afterwards this peace shall be disturbed by the monster.
   
7. The monster shall arrive at the end of this nineteenth century or, at latest, at the commencement of the twentieth.
    
8. In this time the Antichrist will be born of a nun of Hebraic descent, a false virgin, who will have intercourse with the ancient serpent, with the master of impurity and putrefaction. His father will be a bishop. He will perform false miracles and subsist only on vitiating faith. He will have his brethren, who will be children of evil but not incarnate devils like himself. Soon they will be at the head of armies, supported by the Legions of Hell.
    
9. Up, ye children of light, and fight or behold, the age of ages, the end, the extremity is at hand!
   
10. The Church passes into darkness. The world will be in a state of consternation, perplexity and confusion.
    
11. Enoch and Elias, they will suddenly appear on earth full of the Spirit of God, when the Church becomes darkened and the world in terrible agony. They will convert those of good will and comfort the oppressed Christians. With the help of the Holy Ghost, they will have great success against the heresies of the Antichrist. But in the end they will be delivered unto death.
