Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa, a great contemporary mystic, received powerful messages from Christ, warning of approaching divine justice. This video reveals forgotten warnings and prophecies that Portugal urgently needs to hear, given the gravity of the moment, the urgency of repentance, and the need for conversion. These revelations could change Portugal’s destiny!

At the age of 14, in March 1918, an incident changed her life. Her former employer and two other men tried to break into her room to rape her, approximately five months after the Miracle of the Sun in Fátima, Portugal. To escape them, Alexandrina jumped 4.0 meters from a window, barely surviving; her spine broke. Until the age of 19, Alexandrina could “crawl” to the church where she remained bent over in prayer, to the amazement of her parishioners. During her early years, she prayed to the Blessed Mother for the grace of healing. She suffered gradual paralysis beginning in 1925, confining her to bed for about 30 years. The parish priest lent her an image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the month of May.

Fatima for the Portuguese
The Portuguese feel none of the daily hardships of the little shepherds of Fátima. Self-denial and penance are outdated ideas. This is the generation of “me” and “now.” They could learn penance from Our Lady and the little shepherds.
Many Portuguese maintain a life consisting of half the world deceiving the other half, and we must belong to the deceiving half… a hellish norm!
