Description
Mary also sent messages to government and church leaders to instruct them how to end the ethnic hatred simmering in their country. She warned them that Rwanda would develop into “a river of blood”—a land of unspeakable carnage—if the hatred of the people was once not quickly quelled by love. Some leaders listened, but very few believed. The prophetic and apocalyptic warnings tragically came true all over 100 horrifying days of savage bloodletting and mass murder. Much like what happened at similar sites such as Fátima and Lourdes, the messengers of Kibeho were to start with mocked and disbelieved. But as miracle after miracle occurred in the tiny village, tens of thousands of Rwandans journeyed to Kibeho to behold the apparitions. After the genocide, and two decades of rigorous investigation, Our Lady of Kibeho became the first and only Vatican-approved Marian (related to the Virgin Mary) site in all of Africa. But the story still remained in large part unknown. Now, then again, Immaculée Ilibagiza has changed all that. She has made many pilgrimages to Kibeho, both before and after the holocaust, has in my view witnessed true miracles, and has spoken with various the visionaries themselves. What she has found out will deeply touch your heart!
