maria volk -5-

And then I see other churches of various confessions before me.

The Lady raises her finger in warning.

And showing me the entire Catholic Church again, she says: “The Catholic Church can certainly grow larger, but…” And then she breaks off, and I see long lines of priests, students, nuns etc walking past me. Once more the Lady shakes her head, and says with emphasis: “It is too bad, but this is good for nothing.”

And again she says: “This is good for nothing.”

She looks ahead severely.

Then she points at the students, priests and clergy, and says with emphasis, “A better formation, keeping pace with the times, more up-to-date, more social.”

Then I see a black dove flying above our Church.

“Not a white one,” I say, “but a black one.”

The Lady points at that dove, saying: “That is the old spirit which must disappear.” I suddenly see that dove changing into a white one.

The Lady says, “This is a new, white dove. It is sending out its rays in all directions, for the world is tottering [waggelen], a few more years and the world would perish. Yet, He is coming, and He will put the world in order, but…”

And the Lady waits a while.

“...they múst listen.”

The Lady emphasizes the word ‘must’, as if warning again.

Then she says: “They want to go back, away from here. They do not want to come to this place, they are averse to it, the people.”
