OUR LADY OF KNOCK, PADRE PIO AND THE END TIMES

August 21st is the anniversary of Our Lady appearing at Knock, Ireland. The picture above is a depiction of the apparition, with John the Beloved appearing alongside Our Lady. John the Beloved wrote the Book of Revelation, the hellscape that will be the End Times. I wrote a piece for Catholic Link, at the request of the editor Becky Roach, as to why Padre Pio said we are to be especially devoted to Our Lady of Knock now.  I do not state that we are in the reign of the beast presently, but rather that the humble farming people who witnessed Our Lady of Knock, who fell and prayed the Rosary instantly when they beheld John the Beloved, are the models for the people who suffer the time foretold by John the Beloved.
