The Secrets of Our Lady of La Salette
MAXIMINS SECRET
Notice the differences in the secrets. There is no reason why Melanie would be
told one secret and Maximin another. The secrets prove they were liars.
This is the first secret. Therefore it is to be taken as the most reliable one
he gave.
19 September 1846, we saw a beautiful lady. We never said that this lady was the
Blessed Virgin, but we always said she was a beautiful lady.
I do not know if this is the Holy Virgin or anyone else. Myself, I think today
she is the Holy Virgin.
This is what the lady told me:
"If my people continue, what I tell you will arrive earlier; if it changes a
little, it will be a little later.
"France has corrupted the universe, one day she will be punished. Faith will be
extinguished in France: three parts of France will not practice religion any
more or almost no more; the other part will practice it without really
practicing it. Then after [that], nations will convert, the faith will return
everywhere.
"A large country in northern Europe, today Protestant, will be converted: by the
support of this country, all the other countries of the world will be converted.
"Before all that arrives, great disorders will arrive in the Church, and
everywhere. Then after [that], our Holy Father the Pope will be persecuted. His
successor will be a pontiff that no one expects.
"Then after [that] a great peace will come, but it will not last long. A monster
will come to disturb it.
Everything I say here will arrive in the next century, [by] the year two
thousand (literally – later to two thousand years)."

J.M.J. Secret that the Holy Virgin gave me on the Mountain of La Salette
September 19, 1846:
Melanie, I will tell you something you will not tell anyone: the time of the
wrath of God is here!
If, when you have told people what I told you earlier, and what I tell you to
say again – if after that, they do not convert (if they do not repent, and if
they continue to work on Sundays, and if they continue to blaspheme the Holy
Name of God), in a word, if the face of the earth does not change, God will take
revenge against the ungrateful people and slaves of the devil.
My Son is going to unleash His power! Paris, a city stained with all sorts of
crimes, will perish infallibly. Marseille will be destroyed shortly. When these
things arrive, the disorder will be complete on earth. The world will indulge
its ungodly passions.
The Pope will be persecuted on all sides: they will shoot at him, they will want
to kill him, but they can do nothing; the Vicar of God will triumph again this
time.
The priests and nuns, and the true servants of my Son will be persecuted, and
many will die for the Faith of Jesus Christ.
A famine will reign at the same time.
After all these things have arrived, many people will recognize the hand of God
upon them; they will be converted, and will do penance for their sins.
A great king will ascend the throne, and reign for a few years. Religion will
flourish again and extend throughout the earth, and there will be a great
abundance; the world, being happy not to be lacking anything, will resume its
disorders, forsake God, and deliver itself up to its criminal passions.
[Among] God's ministers and the Spouses of Jesus Christ, there will be some who
will deliver themselves up to disorder, and that will be terrible.
Finally, Hell will reign on earth. This is when the Antichrist will be born of a
nun: but woe to her! Many people will believe him, because he says he came from
Heaven – woe to those who believe in him!
The time is not far; there will not pass two times fifty years.
My child, you will not say what I just told you. (You will not tell anyone; you
will not say that one day you may tell; you will not say what it regards);
finally you will not say anything until I tell you to say it!
I pray to Our Holy Father the Pope to give me his holy blessing.
Mélanie Mathieu, Shepherdess of La Salette ... Grenoble, July 6, 1851 ... J.M.J.
