At the Cova da Iria in 1917, Our Lady promised: ‘I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia.

Our Lady of Fatima warned in 1917 that if Her requests were not heeded, Russia would “spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.

True to Her word, Our Lady reappeared to Sister Lucy on June 13, 1929 at Tuy, Spain, when in a great and sublime vision representing the Blessed Trinity, She announced that “the moment has come for God to ask the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. By this means, He promises to save Russia.”

When God sent Our Lady to convey His command that Russia be consecrated, it seems clear that He expected swift obedience from the Pope and bishops. The pastors of the Church, however, chose to delay and, on August 19, 1931, Our Lord Himself appeared to Sister Lucy in Rianjo, Spain and expressed His displeasure, saying “make it known to My ministers that, given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution My command, they will follow him also into misfortune”… He said, “they will do it, but it will be late.” …  and  “It is never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.”

Our Lord’s warning is a grave one indeed, referring as it does to His command, through St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, to the Sun King, Louis XIV of France in 1689, that he consecrate his nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He flat out refused the request from heaven. The King chose to ignore the command and thus condemned his dynasty (Louis XVI) and throne to the horrors of revolution, chaos and the guillotine, exactly 100 years later, in 1789

In response to Sister Lucy’s question why He would not convert Russia without the Holy Father consecrating that nation to His Mother’s Immaculate Heart, Our Lord replied “Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that it may extend its cult later and put the devotion of the Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.”

In 1947, professor Walsh asked if the ”errors of Russia” mean that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism? Sister Lucy answer “YES!”

However, in His infinite mercy, God has offered us a way to avoid this terrible punishment. Through the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we will not only avoid the predicted chastisements, but we will be granted a period of peace throughout the world for all mankind.

In 1946, during a gathering of youth at Fátima, Sister Lucia was asked by a young Russian girl, Natacha Derfelden as to how the conversion of Russia would be accomplished. Sister Lucia responded that the conversion of Russia would come through the Eastern Orthodox Church and “the Oriental rite”, seemingly meaning the conversion implied reconciliation and reunion between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.

Note – The Catholic Church does recognize the Orthodox Churches as valid sister Churches. This recognition is based on the shared apostolic succession of bishops and the belief that the Orthodox Churches have maintained the sacraments and teachings of the early Christian Church. The Catholic Church acknowledges the validity of the sacraments administered by the Orthodox Churches, including the Eucharist and Holy Orders. This recognition of the Orthodox Churches as sister Churches is an important aspect of ecumenical dialogue and efforts towards unity between the Catholic and Orthodox traditions. (ex. Canon Law says a Catholic marrying an Orthodox Christian by an Orthdox priest has a valid marriage)

The title “Patriarch of the West” was a papal title that was used in the past but is no longer in use. It originated in the year 642 by Pope Theodore I and was occasionally used thereafter , although it did not have a clear meaning. The Vatican stated that the title symbolized the pope’s role as the head of the Western Church. However, in 2006, Pope Benedict XVI decided to drop the title, and it is no longer officially recognized.

As Sister Lucy herself declared in a September 1985 interview, the attempted consecration of March 25, 1984, did not satisfy Our Lady’s requests because “there was no participation of the bishops and there was no mention of Russia.” In consecrating the world in general on that date without mentioning Russia, the Holy Father himself acknowledged in the presence of tens of thousands of witnesses, both during and after the ceremony, that the people of Russia were still “awaiting our consecration and confiding.” The next day these statements were reported in the Pope’s own newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, and the Italian Bishops’ publication, Avvenire.

We have yet to witness the physical annihilation of nations foretold at Fatima. But the spiritual annihilation is well under way and the longer the delay, the greater the number of souls that will spend eternity in hell. Must we wait until the physical annihilation of nations occurs and many more souls are lost before we finally do exactly what Our Lady commanded us to do in God’s name?

According to a report from more than 15 years ago, John Paul spoke about the “Third Secret” to a group in Fulda, Germany, on a visit there on November 17,1980. His words were tape-recorded.

What emerges is a picture rather more disturbing than the one painted by Ratzinger last month.

In that private gathering, the Pope spoke of a “troubling” message, of predictions of “oceans flooding entire continents, people annihilated suddenly, by the millions, from one instant to the next.” (Heaven knew in 1917 of the very new 2022 weaponry)

“We must be well prepared,” the Pope said, “for great trials in the near future, which can even require the sacrifice of our lives.” And he explained why he had not made the message public: “If a message announces that millions of people are going to die, one doesn’t really wish to have it made public. Many want to know it only out of curiosity, but they forget that knowledge brings responsibility.”

John Paul then reached into his pocket and, in front of the astonished onlookers, pulled out his Rosary. “Here is the medicine against this evil!” he exclaimed. “Pray, pray, and don’t ask any more questions. Leave everything else up to the Madonna!”

Still, John Paul has also expressed himself in a calmer way with regard to the “Third Secret.” In May 1991 he visited Fatima, and during a homily, told his listeners: “This is not an old world that is coming to an end, but a new one that is beginning.”

Note – On March 25, 2022,  the Pope Consecrated Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

Remember the Lord’s 100-year warning to Louis the Sun King in 1689. The apparition at Tui occurred in 1929, so the consecration in 2022 is seven years before the 100th anniversary.
