Blessed Elena Aiello (1895-1961), an Italian stigmatic nun, who was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011, also made some prophecies which appear to link the future martyrdom of a pope with a coming chastisement involving a massive earthquake. You can find some biographical information on Bl. Elena at the Mystics of the Church blog here. “People are offending God too much. Were I to show you all the sins committed on a single day, you would surely die of grief. These are grave times. The world is thoroughly upset because it is in a worse condition than at the time of the deluge. Materialism marches on ever fomenting bloody strifes and fratricidal struggles. Clear signs portend that peace is in danger. That scourge, like the shadow of a dark cloud, is now moving across mankind: only my power, as Mother of God, is preventing the outbreak of the storm. All is hanging on a slender thread. When that thread shall snap, Divine Justice shall pounce upon the world and execute its dreadful, purging designs. All the nations shall be punished because sins, like a muddy river, are now covering all the earth. “The powers of evil are getting ready to strike furiously in every part of the globe. Tragic events are in store for the future. For quite a while, and in many a way, I have warned the world. The nation’s rulers do indeed understand the gravity of these dangers, but they refuse to acknowledge that it is necessary for all people to practice a truly Christian life to counteract that scourge. Oh, what torture I feel in my heart, on beholding mankind so engrossed in all kinds of things and completely ignoring the most important duty of their reconciliation with God. The time is not far off now when the whole world shall be greatly disturbed. A great deal of blood of just and innocent people as well as saintly priests will be poured out. The Church shall suffer very much and hatred will be at its very peak”. “Italy shall be humiliated and purged in her blood. She shall suffer very much indeed on account of the multitude of sins committed in this privileged nation, the abode of the Vicar of Christ”. “You cannot possibly imagine what is going to happen. A great revolution shall break out and the streets shall be stained with blood. The Pope’s sufferings on this occasion may well be compared to the agony that will shorten his pilgrimage on earth. His successor shall pilot the boat during the storm. But the punishment of the wicked shall not be slow. That will be an exceedingly dreadful day. The earth shall quake so violently as to scare all mankind. And so, the wicked shall perish according to the inexorably severity of Divine Justice. If possible, publish this message throughout the world, and admonish all the people to do penance and to return right away to God”. Like various other prophecies (including most famously the Third Secret of Fatima), Bl. Elena foresees the suffering and martyrdom of a pope - who will endure an agony that will shorten his pilgrimage on earth (see the earlier post Prophecies of the Martyr-Pope for a list of the many prophecies which foretell the future assassination of a pope). The numerous prophecies of the martyrdom of a future pope were sensationally brought back into focus earlier this year by a prediction attributed to Cardinal Paolo Romeo stating that the pope would die sometime in the year 2012 (see the earlier post Pope Benedict XVI Assassination Plot in 2012?). Speaking of the successor to martyred pontiff, Bl. Elena uses language which clearly alludes to St. John Boscos Dream of the Two Pillars: His successor shall pilot the boat during the storm. It will be useful to compare this statement with the relevant portion of Don Boscos dream below, which foretells that it will be the pope who succeeds the martyred pontiff that will lead the Church during the Second Pentecost: “Suddenly the Pope falls gravely wounded. Immediately, those who are with him run to help him and they lift him up. A second time the Pope is struck, he falls again and dies. A shout of victory and joy rings out amongst the enemies; from their ships an unspeakable mockery arises. “But hardly is the Pontiff dead than another takes his place. The pilots, having met together, have elected the Pope so promptly that the news of the death of the Pope coincides with the news of the election of the successor. The adversaries begin to lose courage. “The new Pope, putting the enemy to rout and overcoming every obstacle, guides the ship right up to the two columns and comes to rest between them; he makes it fast with a light chain that hangs from the bow to an anchor of the column on which stands the Host; and with another light chain which hangs from the stern, he fastens it at the opposite end to another anchor hanging from the column on which stands the Immaculate Virgin.
