Our Lady's Apparitions in Kibeho

In 1981 Our Lady appeared to three young people in Kibeho, Rwanda. Ultimately seven would claim visions, but it is the visions of the first three young people which have been approved by the Church. Mary warned about the Rwandan massacre to come when corpses would lie in the streets and the rivers would run with blood. Ultimately over a million people were murdered in the bloody genocide. One of the visionaries was killed in the massacre. Another joined a contemplative order of nuns and the third remains as a lay person in the parish. Mary's message was consistent with the messages of Lourdes and Fatima: prayer and conversion are the road to peace. At the time Rwanda was a peaceful country, a paradise. No one could except an authentic messenger of God could predict the horrors that would come a decade later. And yet Mary showed them to the young people.

“In July, 1982, and the following months, August 15, 1982, the Assumption, and again on September 4th and in January 1983, Our Lady showed us a lot about the war. Often she talked in general that the world is bad, that people do not have love, contrary to what God shed his blood for; Our Lady insists as well on love. Our Lady talked about and showed us some visions of reality where people killed each other, blood running, fire burning on the hill, mass graves, skulls, beheaded bodies, skulls put apart....

“Our Lady appeared here to remind us what we have forgotten....Her message: she insisted on prayer and on conversion, on penance and humility.”
