'There are omens of even greater destruction': Pope issues chilling apocalyptic warning for mankind

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN: Addressing a Mass commemorating the appearance of Mary in 1531, Pope Francis has warned humanity of even "darker times in the future." He called for the Vatican congregation “to get involved with each other without delay, to go out to meet our brothers and sisters who have been forgotten and discarded by our consumerist and indifferent societies.” Plagued with ongoing wars, poverty, famines, and the rising cost of living among many, the world has "greater destruction and desolation" ahead, he warned as he shared his vision. The pontiff said, “It is a bitter time, filled with the rumbling of war, growing injustice, famine, poverty, and suffering," adding at this "bleak and disconcerting" time, there are "omens of even greater destruction and desolation.”

The Pope also spoke about “God's 'divine love and his coming down to us tell us that this too is a propitious time of salvation, in which the Lord, through the Virgin Mother, continues to give us his Son.” He reminded people of the Bible verse from John 3:16: “God who so loved the world, sent us his son, 'born of a woman', so that 'whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." While celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the pontiff added that the Virgin Mary “invites us to leave behind all the prejudices and fears that populate our hearts and to trust in the true God for whom we live, joyfully and confidently directing us to reaffirm our belonging to the Lord.”
