Our Lady of Kibeho- The heavenly warnings that went unheeded with tragic consequences


The Rwandan Genocide in 1994 that Mary warned of 12 years before 
Our Lady of Kibeho—The heavenly warnings that went unheeded with tragic consequences

Beginning on No­vember 28, 1981, the Blessed Virgin Mary (and later Jesus) chose to appear at regular intervals to a group of teenag­ers in the rural countryside of Kibeho, Rwanda, giving them urgent heavenly mes­sages intended to be shared throughout the country and the entire world. Because of the great importance of the alleged heavenly messages, the Church immediately began investigating the visionaries and the messages, and on June 29, 2001, the local Bishop formally and officially approved the events pertaining to three of the visionaries.

At the beginning of the events, the initial messages all came from the Virgin Mary, and they were full of her love for her children here on Earth. Early on, the content of the messages was often in­structional, providing spiritual direction and guidance for people to live more devout lives, repent of their sins and reject sinful temptations, so as to draw closer to God. Mary's instructions for humanity included urging everyone to pray the rosary every day to ward off evil; and for all people to open their hearts to one another, and to help one another.

Soon however, some of the Virgin Mary's messages began to contain frightening predictions of war, catastrophes, and corruption that She said the world would be facing in the coming years. She gave the young visionaries ter­rifying glimpses into a future in which people's hearts would be dominated by hatred instead of love, and where the planet would be torn apart by wars of religion, failed economies, collapsing governments and natural disasters.

Kibeho visionaries Alphonsine, Marie Claire and Anathalie
The Rwandan Genocide--The prediction of “a river of blood”
But amidst the messages of encouragement to repentance and love of neighbor there was one very significant message that seemed to be the most important of all the Blessed Virgins messages; in 1982 the Blessed Virgin specifically predicted the horrible 1994 genocide--12 years before it occurred.  She said that "a river of blood" would flow across Rwanda unless the Rwandan people stopped harboring ha­tred and animosity for each other, and instead would need to turn their hearts with love and brotherly charity towards one another. And on August 15, 1982, the seers saw “a river of blood, people who were killing each other, abandoned corpses with no one to bury them, trees all in flames, bodies without their heads.” 

On this most notable occasion, August 15, 1982--a day that was supposed to be joyful celebration of the Feast of the Assumption---the Blessed Virgin Mary first appeared to the visionary Alphonsine to be visibly sorrowful and was crying. The visionary was deeply distressed at the sight of our Blessed Mother in tears. She asked Her "Mother, why are you crying? I can't bear to see You in tears!" Alphonsine was then heard to say: "Yes, Mother, I will repeat what you say: 'To the people on Earth: You say three times; You opened the door, and they refused to come in. You opened the door, and they refused to come in. You opened the door, and they refused to come in." 

Suddenly, Alphonsine let out a terrifying heart wrenching scream: "I see a river of blood! What does it mean? No, please!...Why are You showing me this, Mother? Stop...please stop! The trees are exploding into flames, the country is burning!...Oh no!..no!....Why are those people slaughtering each other?

Later that same day, another visionary, Marie-Claire, was given similar visions of her countrymen slaughtering each other en masse, and she cried aloud in horror of the images she was being shown. It is estimated that there were 20,000 people in Kibeho that day, and all were terrified of what they had heard through the visionaries.

  At that time this vision and the Blessed Virgin Mary’s prophecy seemed completely unrealistic to most, even though it is true that the Rwandan’s have a very long history of tribal feuds and the animosity amongst the different tribes and social groups has always been a significant problem for the country. What the Virgin Mary soon began to plead for is for the people to abandon this hatred based on tribal affiliations, and to see all of their fellow Rwandans’ as brothers. She strongly encouraged all peoples to have a love and concern for others centered and based on the love and mercy of Her Son, Jesus. And by practicing this love, She said the looming civil war and bloodshed could be averted. Sadly, too few Rwandans heeded Our Lady's advice, and the country descended into madness, mayhem, and murder, just as She had predicted. If they had only listened to the Virgin Mary's warnings when She appeared in Kibeho, the bloody genocide never would have happened!

The Holy Rosary—The instrument through which the genocide could have been averted
Through her visionaries, the Blessed Mother urged all Rwandans to seek Her help to embrace Christ's love and forgiveness. She said that the surest and best way to accom­plish this was by praying the rosary every day. The Virgin Mary said that the rosary was one of the most powerful tools in the world to defend us against temptation and evil. She pleaded with everyone to pray the rosary at least once a day, no matter what religion they belonged to, and promised all who did would receive special spiritual graces and blessings.

Jesus warning 12 years before the genocide
Along with the Blessed Virgin, Jesus Himself also appeared many times to the visionaries at Kibeho, urging the people to repent of their sins and to seek to live virtuous lives. Like the Blessed Virgin Mary, He also warned of a bloody civil war that would soon occur if the people did not change their tribal/sectarian animosity for one another. During an apparition 12 years before the genocide, Jesus had shown Segatashya (one of the alleged visionaries) images of homes in flames and people being hacked to pieces by killers armed with machetes. The Lord told Segatashya that this was what would happen if people continued to sin and to hate one another. When the bloody genocide gripped Rwanda, Segatashya himself was shot by a death squad.

A summary of what occurred during the genocide
Throughout the course of 100 days from April 6 to July 16 1994, approximately 800,000 Rwandan Tutsis and some moderate Hutus were massacred in the Rwandan genocide. During this period, more than 6 men, women and children were murdered every minute of every hour of every day. This incredible rate of killing was maintained for more than 3 months. Along with the intense bloodshed, it is believed that approximently 250,000 women were raped during the 100 days of genocide (a precise count is such circumstances is impossible) and roughly 30% of the women who were raped during the genocide were infected with HIV/AIDS.  In many cases, this resulted from a systematic and planned use of rape by HIV+ infected men as a weapon of terror and future genocide. There were 10 times as many widows(women) than widowers (men) with almost 50,000 widows, and  there were approximately 75,000 children who were orphaned as a result of the genocide.

Rwandan Genocide
The Rwandan genocide is a warning and a precursor to what could come to all of humanity
Yet, the warnings of the Blessed Virgin Mary were not just for Africa. For She told the seer Marie-Clare Mukangango :  "When I tell you this, I am not addressing myself strictly to you, child, but I am making this appeal to the world.  Today, man empties things of their true value. Those who are continually committing sins are doing so without any acceptance that what they are doing is wrong."

Like Segatashya, sadly Marie-Clare Mukangango too was also killed during the genocide. She said the Virgin described the world as “being in revolt against God” and that the world “is on the edge of catastrophe.” And in yet another message to the seers we are told: “ The world hastens to its ruin, it will fall into the abyss… The world is rebellious against God, it commits too many sins, it has neither love nor peace. If you do not repent and do not convert your hearts, you will fall into the abyss."

Heaven warned of the bloody genocide if the Rwandan’s did not change their hearts—they did not, and 12 years later they suffered unspeakable horrors. In Kibeho and elsewhere in recent times, Jesus and Mary have been warning ALL of us that we must change our hearts—we must be converted and repent of our sins—or we too will suffer unspeakable horrors as a result and consequence of our sins and our hard hearts. Are we listening, or have we not learned from the tragic events in Rwanda? -Lord Jesus crucified, have mercy upon us!

"Do not forget that God is more powerful that all of the evil in the world....The world is on the edge of catastrophe. Cleanse your hearts through prayer. The only way is through God. If you do not take refuge in God, where will you hide when the fire has spread everywhere?" -Our Lady of Kibeho

People did not listen to Our Lady of Kibeho and look at the results of disobedience. Our Lady of America gave Sister Mildred a mission to consecrate the US to Our Lady of America and place her image of Our Lady of America in the National Shire in DC. We can bring protection and conversion to our country and possible the world. If we do not we will receive the consequences.

How I wish I could do more to help. I try to be one who listens and does as I am told. I wish I could reverse the course we are on. I know Our Lady is talking to all of us, and I believe I am doing what I can to help gain the graces people need to repent. I have faith in God, but I feel like I am living in the time of Noah, and only a few are helping to build the ark.

God, please, help us to know what else to do; help us to pray more, to love more, to sacrifice more, for the sake of our fellow man. Please O Lord, have mercy.

Immaculate heart of Mary
We offer up our faults
and empty ourselves so that Your Divine Son
may dwell in us.
Forgive us our sins dear Jesus!
How you have suffered for us!
How sorrowful is Your dear Mother!
How ungrateful are proud people's hearts!
We offer up our ills for the sake of His sorrowful passion!

I was fortunate to have heard Immacule' at Eucharistic Congress in Charlotte
several years ago . I went to her and held her hand. I looked into her radiant face. I believe that all she said was true. This is why I am going to be more willing to consider the reality of Our Lady's apparitions today. It is frightening but recently I keep getting the message that I am to tell of the closeness of Our Lord. That He is truly here and truly reachable all of the time. He will walk us through everything when we invite Him even in mental and psychological stress. His presence is discernable even to me. This knowledge can remove fear when I remember Him and Our Blessed Mother of Perpetual Help. Take comfort in their love. At all times, "Let not our hearts be troubled ".

Pope Francis has apologised for the Catholic churches part in the Rwandan Genocide.
The Holy Father said when referring to Rwanda "The sins and failings of the church and its members had disfigured the face of Catholicism."
The prophecy of Our Lady of Kibeho was apparently used to justify massacre on an industrial scale as act of fulfillment.

Our actions are a manifestation of our genotype, a phrophesy of mass murder is like sowing seeds ...they will not grow unless the soil is fertile and watered. Consider, this evil violence wasn’t a brief venting of maniacal anger, it occurred over months. Premeditated, planned and enacted by willing hands. Did it happen in the USA? In Europe? No. We’re the people told about Christianity many many decades before, about the existence of God, about mercy, about charity, about damnation and how to achieve it? Yes.

We must thank God for His mercy.

Mr. Glenn Dallaire I LOVE your website. It is helpful when writing reports. Thank You so much for doing this. May God Bless and your family a hundredfold. Deo Gratias!

Thank you Heavenly Father for your love.We Rwandans are grateful. You have been chosen us as an instrument to warn the world against the disaster brought by sin.I am firmly convinced that though, we Rwandans are sinners,we are not the most sinful people ,or at least we are at the same level as others.

My take from Kibeho and Rwanda is that the Kibeho message is for everyone on earth. Sin brings disaster and death. it is a warning of what can or will befall the world, if we do not repent and come back to God.

With the hate for Trump in America and chastising people wearing MAGA hats....or hating Trump supporters beating them out of restaurants..the media being used as a weapon of spreading propaganda and hate....sometimes I wonder. So much hate...our lady of Kibeho...help the USA and it's leaders..help both the democrats and the republicans and the media...let there be no hate....

Helen said...

Thank you. This was very informative. The Virgin Mary says many chastisements can be delayed with prayers.

no, it didn't happen like that in america. In america we delighted satan by butchering children in their mother's womb.

peter maurin said...

you are of course talking about the hate that Donald Trump and Steve bannon and reince priebus have brought to the United States correct?

peter maurin said...

And butchering the native peoples and the slaves that we brought here as property

no. Donal Trump is the good guy. The democrats need to respect others that do not agree with them. Fortunately that is 3/4 of America.

People don’t want to discuss the real cause of the genocide. One people (tutsi) who are small minority but want to control over majority
And consider themselves god sent leaders of 80% hutu

Tutsi believe that they are superior people
They are indeed superior considering that they. Now control uganda rwanda congo drc burundi

They believe other tribes are inferior to them and should bow to them by force if necessary

They are extremely secretive and sectarian
As a group, they plan their strategic tribal imperialism as a tribe
They have long term (50yrs. Etc) tribal imperialist plans over others
