April 30 – Our Lady of Africa (Algiers, Algeria, 1876) - Canonization of Sister Faustina (2000)

"You have to prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come"

Sister Faustina Kowalska (1) recorded about twenty apparitions of the Virgin Mary in her Diary, and about thirty visions of Christ, the angels and departed souls.

Here is what the Virgin Mary told her on March 25, 1936:

“Then I saw the Mother of God, who said to me, Oh, how pleasing to God is the soul that follows faithfully the inspirations of His grace! I gave the Savior to the world; as for you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for [granting] mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day. Fear nothing. Be faithful to the end.” (Diary, 635)

And a few months later: 

“I saw Her, so lovely and so beautiful that I have no words to express even a small part of this beauty. She was all [in] white, with a blue sash around Her waist. Her cloak was also blue, and there was a crown on Her head. Marvelous light streamed forth from Her whole figure. I am the Queen of heaven and earth, but especially the Mother of your [Congregation]. She pressed me to Her heart and said, I feel constant compassion for you. (Diary, 804)
