Hiroshima Miracle

When Hiroshima was bombed on August 6, 1945, Jesuits priests Hugo Lassalle, Hubert Schiffer, Wilhelm Kleinsorge, and Hubert Cieslik were at the rectory of the church of Our Lady of the Assumption in the Japanese city. The nuclear weapons caused the deaths of 130,000 people. Three days later, the American military killed 40,000 instantly as it dropped its bombs in Nagasaki. In both instances most of those killed were civilians.

According to Fr Cieslik, they only had minor injuries caused by broken windows, but not from the fatal atomic energy.  In 1976, Fr Schiffer confirmed that after 200 times of examinations by doctors through the years not any of the clergies had any trace of radiation in their bodies.

The four religious acknowledged the protection by God and the Blessed Virgin Mary.  They said, “We were living the message of Fatima and we prayed the Rosary every day.”

One of the promises granted to those who recite the rosary is: “The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.” Surely, the atomic energy that flattened Hiroshima was hell on earth; yet the armor of God protected His loyal servants.

For whoever seeks God’s protection; he shall be protected. “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14) (Bro Mel B Libre)
