Therese Neumann

To the Croatian Jesuit priest Fr. Petar Perica (1881–1944), poet and author of the famous Marian hymn 'Zdravo Djevo, Kraljice Hrvata' (Hail Virgin, Queen of Croats), Therese Neumann prophesied during his medical treatment in Germany: 'You will die a martyr's death.' The prophecy was tragically fulfilled on October 24, 1944, when Communist Partisan forces arrested Fr. Perica without trial along with approximately fifty other civilians and priests from Dubrovnik. They were taken to the islet of Daksa, where they were tortured, executed, and thrown into a common pit. Fr. Perica reportedly went to his death singing 'Tebe, Boga, hvalimo' (Te Deum). His cause for beatification as a martyr of communism has been opened.

To Fr. Petar Perica, Therese Neumann also prophesied: 'Croatia will be free and independent by the end of this century.' At the time of this prophecy (late 1930s), Croatia was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, later to be absorbed into communist Yugoslavia after World War II. The prophecy was fulfilled on June 25, 1991, when Croatia declared independence — exactly at the end of the 20th century, after decades of communist repression and through the sacrifices of the Homeland War (1991-1995).

Hitler will fall. Germany will be destroyed and reduced to rubble. But she will not remain destroyed — Germany will be rebuilt and will rise again.

Germany will be divided into two parts. A wall will separate brother from brother. But this division will not last forever — the day of reunification will come.

When a Pope comes from a distant land, Germany will be reunited. This Pope will be a sign of hope for the whole world. His pontificate will mark a turning point in the history of the Church.

After the great council, the Church will pass through a terrible crisis. Faith will weaken. Many priests will leave their vocations. Confusion will reign among the faithful. But this crisis will not last forever — the Church will be renewed.
