“Faith and unbelief will come unexpectedly.” Said by the Virgin Mary to Alphonsine at Kibeho Rwanda in 1981 with a request to repeat it to humankind.



 

“Faith and unbelief will come unexpectedly.” This is one of the so-called mysterious words said by the Virgin to Alphonsine at Kibeho Rwanda in 1981 with a request to repeat it to humankind. Our Lady's warnings at Kibeho Rwanda summarized by Bishop Scott McCaig C.C. 1…An urgent call to repentance and the conversion of hearts: “Repent, repent, repent!” “Convert your heart while there is still time.” 2…A diagnosis of the moral state of the world: “The world is very unwell.” “The world races to its loss, it risks falling into the abyss, which means it will be immersed in innumerable and unceasing tragedies. The world is in rebellion against God. Too many sins are committed in it. There is neither love nor peace.” “If you don’t repent and don’t convert your hearts, you will all fall into the abyss.” 3…The Virgin’s deep sadness: The seers were surprised to see her weeping on August 15th, 1982 (the apparition wherein she predicted the genocide and showed the visionaries what it would look like). The Mother of the Word is strongly afflicted because of the incredulity and the impenitence of human beings. She complains about our bad behavior characterized by dissolution of morality, dissensions, complaisance in evil, and continual disobedience to the commandments of God. 4…“Faith and unbelief will come unexpectedly.” This is one of the so-called mysterious words said by the Virgin to Alphonsine at the beginning of the apparitions, with a request to repeat it to humankind. 5…Redemptive suffering: This theme is one of the most important in the apparitions of Kibeho, especially for Nathalie Mukamazimpaka. For a Christian, suffering, otherwise unavoidable in this life on earth, is an obliged path to reach heavenly glory. The Virgin said to her seers, notably to Nathalie on May 15th, 1982: “No one gets to heaven without suffering.” Or “Mary’s child doesn’t separate with the cross” But suffering is also a means of expiating the sin of the world and to participate in the sufferings of Jesus and Mary for the salvation of the world. The seers have been invited to live this message concretely, to accept suffering with faith and joy, to mortify themselves, and to renounce pleasures for the conversion of the world. Thus, Kibeho reminds us of the place of the cross in the life of the Christian and of the Church. 6…Pray unceasingly and without hypocrisy: Human beings don’t pray, and even among those who do pray many don’t pray properly. The Virgin asks us (through the seers) to pray a lot for the world, to teach others to pray and to pray in the place of those who don’t pray. The Virgin asks us to put more goodwill into praying and to pray without hypocrisy. 7....Devotion to Mary is notably concretized by a regular and sincere recitation of the rosary. 8…The Rosary of the Sorrows of the Virgin Mary: The Seer Marie Claire Mukangango received revelations on this topic. The Virgin likes this rosary a great deal. Known in the past, it had fallen into oblivion. Our Lady of Kibeho wants it to be put in honor and spread in the Church. But this “rosary of sorrows” doesn’t replace the regular Holy Rosary.
9…The Virgin wants a chapel built in memory of her apparitions in Kibeho. This theme carries up from Alphonsine’s apparition on January 16th, 1982 and comes back repeatedly during that year especially by Nathalie, with new developments. (This chapel has been completed). 10…Pray unceasingly for the Church, because strong tribulations are waiting in the coming time: So said the Virgin to Alphonsine, on August 15th, 1983, and on November 28th, 1983.
