Our Blessed Mother at Fatima
On May 13th, 1917 three children were playing games in the field while tending their sheep. Suddenly they saw a flash of light. Thinking it to be lightning, the children gathered the sheep and started for home. They took refuge under a tree about a hundred yards away. They saw a flash of light again. They began running when they saw, standing over a small holmoak tree, a Lady dressed in white more brilliant than the sun.
That was the beginning of Our Blessed Mother at Fatima. She visited the children six times bringing them messages for the world. In all Her appearances at Fatima, Our Mother repeatedly emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and of performing acts of reparation and sacrifice.
Our Ladys Message to the world is contained in what has come to be called the Secret. The Secret actually consists of three parts, the first two of which have been revealed. The first part of the Secret was a horrifying vision of hell “where the souls of poor sinners go” and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls. The second part of the Secret told of the outbreak of World War II and asked for the Consecration of Russia as a condition of world peace. It also predicted the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart following Russias consecration and conversion.
The last part of the Secret (often called the “Third Secret”) has not yet been made public, but Lucia wrote it down in 1944 and is in the possession of the Pope.
What Is Fatima?
Heavens Intervention to Save Us From Persecution, War, Annihilation, Enslavement and Hell
Fatima is a visit by Our Heavenly Mother Mary in our time for our time. It is a Message of concern, a practical plan for world peace, a promise of Heaven.
It is Heavens interventions to save us from persecution, martyrdom, war, enslavement or annihilation. Above all its a way to save our souls from Hell. It is meant for you.
Today Our Lady, by Divine Providence, invites you to learn The Whole Truth About Fatima by giving you this opportunity to know Her beautiful message of Fatima.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared 6 times to 3 shepherd children; Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta; between May 13 and October 13, 1917. She came to the little village of Fatima, which had remained faithful to the Catholic Church during the recent persecutions by the government.
Our Ladys Message
She came with a message from God to every man, woman and child of our century. Our Lady of Fatima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and that many souls would go to Heaven if Her requests were listened to and obeyed.
She told us that war is a punishment for sin; that God would punish the world for its sins in our time by means of war, hunger, persecution of the Church and persecution of the Holy Father, the Pope, unless we listened to and obeyed the command of God.
Our Ladys Triumph
At Fatima, Pope John Paul II said on May 13; “the message of Fatima is more relevant and more urgent” than when Our Lady first appeared. The message is an anguished appeal of Our Heavenly Mother, Who sees us in great danger and Who comes to offer Her help and advice. Her message is also a prophecy, a clear indication of what was about to transpire in the 20th century, and what is still going to happen infallibly in the near future, depending on our response to Her requests.
THE CHURCH
Approves Fatima
The Catholic Church has endorsed the Fatima message since 1930. Five successive Popes have publicly indicated their approval of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima and Her message. Two Popes went to Fatima on Pilgrimage. Pope John Paul II went there twice, once in 1982 and again in May 1991.
GOD HIMSELF
Endorses Fatima
As a great sign of this whole mesage truly coming from God, a marvelous miracle was worked in the sky above Fatima before 70,000 witnessses on October 3, 1917 at the time, date and place that Lucy and the other two children had prophesied in the name of Our Lady of Fatima.
Pope John Paul II surrounded by millions of pilgrims on one of his visits to Fatima, Portugal. The photo on the front cover shows more of the millions of pilgrims who came to Fatima to honor Our Lady on the occasion of a Pope John Paul II pilgrimage.
As also prophesied, Francisco and Jacinta died in the odor of sanctity in 1919 and 1920. Lucy became a Carmelite Sister.
Sister Lucy is still alive today. She is 90 years old.
Our Lady of Fatima continues to work miracles today through Fatima water which is sent from Fatima around the world. This Fatima water sprang up in Fatima at the spot the Bishop told people to dig, very near where Our Lady appeared at the Cova da Iria (the Cove of Peace) in Fatima. Still other people are cured when they go on pilgrimage to Fatima, which is about 90 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal.
When he went to Fatima, Pope John Paul II said: “The message of Fatima is addressed to every human being.”
A Message of Warning and Hope
If we do not heed Her soon, then Our Ladys horrible prophecy may well be realized in the near future even in our own back yards.
She told us that God had chosen to
