DECEMBER 9,1995

On December 9, 1995, Jesus as He finished speaking to Christina declared,
The precise reason for the increase of the power of darkness in our times is given by Our Lady in one message to Christina. There She says;          
'Sin is the cause of all disaster, illness and suffering'
and in another message
         'Through sin, evil is multiplied in the world.'
         So it is sin which draws down all disaster upon the world. All are in the midst of this situation of disaster. God does not desire this but He permits it and because it comes about through our free will and our yielding to temptations from the world, the flesh and the devil, God uses the suffering brought upon us by this disaster as a means of purification.
         Our Lady stressed to Christina that those who have turned back to God have nothing to fear. At the same time we have to help those who are now involved in any sinful situation and whose hearts are open. Due to the widespread evil, it is going to be difficult for a lot of people to convert and remain converted. The devil is tempting the flesh more and more and Our Lady remarks that he is 'strong now'. In one of Her messages, She actually states,
         'It is the sins of the flesh that draw many to Hell.'
         Christina herself once declared how she was becoming more aware of all this sin around her,
         'We are hearing about it here, there and everywhere, and even of babies being sexually abused. Recently, it happened that Our Lady made me more aware of this horror. It was like a knife going through my heart. I don't know. . . how someone could do these things. I just say, 'Please Lord, help them. . . because they can't know what they're doing. Surely, they wouldn't do this if they knew what they were doing.'
