BLESSED VIRGIN MARY - Our Lady of Akita


Book Description

Once more, Mother Mary takes us on a journey to a remote location deep into the mountains, where few would dare to venture. Aside from Tokyo, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, we have never really given much thought to the locations of the other towns in Japan. Akita is a bustling metropolis in the north of the nation with a population of roughly 300,000, which is far more than you would think for a little town in the Japanese highlands. However, there was a purpose to Our Lady's 1973 visit there. She visited a Sister in the Handmaids of the Eucharist community for a reason, too. Adoring Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist has been their charism. The cornerstones of their community are Eucharistic Adoration and respect for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. With the message She had to deliver to Our Lady, this Sister and her community could be trusted. Thus, we accompany the Angels in their mission to gently return the Queen of the World to this mountain village in a little nation on the opposite side of the globe, so that She may communicate with us there as well as here and everywhere else on Earth. Japan's Akita: June 12, 1973 Situated on the top of Yuzawadai hill, just outside the alpine town of Akita, Japan, the Convent of the Handmaids of the Eucharist was peaceful on a Tuesday afternoon. Sister Agnes Sasagawa was left in charge of keeping an eye on the convent after the Sisters all departed to run errands. Sister Agnes had a valuable chance here. She was entrusted with a duty, which she handled seriously. It was okay to leave Sister Agnes alone there, though, as the other Sisters hadn't anticipated any important decision-making activities.
