On June 12, 1973, Sr. Agnes Sasagawa saw briliant rays coming from the tabernacle. This miracle occured for the next two days as well. On June 28, Sr. Agnes saw a bleeding, cross shaped wound, on the inside of her left hand. Sr. Agnes heard a voice coming from a 3ft. wooden statue of the Virgin Mary while praying. Eventually, some sisters saw drops of blood flowing from the statue's right hand. On September 29, the miracle stopped, but this time, the statue began to sweat instead! On January 4, 1975, the statue began to weep! The statue wept on 101 occasions. Sister Agnes received three messages through this period of time. Our Lady asked us to pray for the Pope and the clergy, and said that if man does not convert, God will send down a great punishment upon all mankind.
