Cold War Catholicism

Mary Ann Van Hoof's message from Mary. Aug. 1950

Dear children of God, all those who are gathered here, some of you very faithful, some of you very curious, but the majority of you are here with God in your hearts.

The time has come, dear children of God! You must all remember your prayers. You must pray, pray and pray hard and devotedly! You must do penance and sacrifices daily! You must receive your Masses and churches regularly!

Those of not the Catholic faith, those that's just Christians, remember your Lord in your way.
All religions must go together against the enemy of God, for he is very strong right now. The time is here when we must save ourselves. Save yourselves!

You must all remember your Commandments, the Rosary, the Way of the Cross, for the enemy of God is all over America. You'd be surprised if the sheep's clothing were taken off and how they'd spring up all around you.

They have Satan in their hearts ready to pounce upon you unless you watch your ways.

Remember, the time has come that the destruction is right above us. More than three thirds of the nations is now covered with the enemy of God. And the pagan part of this America is startling.
America must pray right now--now, not tomorrow. Beginning is now in Korea; it will not end there unless we pray. It's only beginning...

We must remember the time is drawing very close.

The black clouds are coming over, not to Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, but to America--South and North America. Alaska is the first stepping stone.

Remember-the Pacific Coast!

We have no time to lose. We must carry on now, at once, for prayer only will save us.
