Fatima
and the Messages
for the Whole
World
Three young children, shepherds—poor and unworldly – these are
the witnesses that the Great Mother of God chose to receive the important
messages for the whole world.
Children—the
ones who were not corrupted by the world –their hearts open to receive the
truth.
These are the ones chosen to
receive these great gifts…
their names
Lucia 10 years old, Jacinta 7 years old and
Francisco 9 years old.

| Children of the Fatima Apparitions of Our Lady -- Jacinta, Lucia, Francisco |
Many of the apparitions of Our Lady were to children—in 1858
Bernadette Soubirous, a French girl of
14 from Lourdes, in 1846 Melanie aged 15
and Maximin aged 11, on the mountain of La Salette in France, and at Pontmain
in 1871 to almost all the children of that village. Notice the dates – all in the late 1800s
before the First World War and the atrocities to come.
The Apparition of Fatima happened in the year 1917… not
hundreds of years ago – It was in our times that she came… She came with warnings, prophecies and
pleadings to amend our lives –“ for God is very much offended.” It was at the time of World War I… she came
to warn about Russia’s communist agenda … at a time when there was no communism
in Russia. The sins of the world were
great, so great that she came to warn us that if we did not stop offending God,
another worse war would come… Tragically, her requests were not heeded… World
War II came in 1939—only 22 years later.
If God was offended in 1917 – what must He be now? We have not heeded her warnings – we have not
repented or made reparation – but have turned our backs on God forsaking His
commandments, His Love and have given ourselves up to worldly pursuits which
are contrary to God. And we can see the results of this
disobedience with all the wars, disasters, cruelty, immorality spreading like
wildfire around the world—a cancer that cannot be quenched—as the more it
develops the more it infiltrates and twists the basic rights of every man,
woman and child—we are told there is no sin! – that sinful acts are considered ‘normal’
BUT as the bible says, “Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20
I am not going to give the full story of Fatima here—there are
many excellent sites on the web and very informative books that do that. I just wanted to remind us all that we are in
TRUE DANGER HERE. Many souls have
already been lost to eternal damnation because of the sins of this world in our
time—many more will fall in the future.
WILL YOU HELP SAVE SOULS FROM THIS???
THE CHILDREN
ARE SHOWN
A VISION OF HELL
At Fatima, the Blessed Virgin Mary told the three child
seers that many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray or make
sacrifices for them.
In her Memoirs, Sister Lucy describes the vision of hell
that Our Lady showed the children at Fatima:
"She opened Her hands once more, as She had done the
two previous months. The rays [of light] appeared to penetrate the earth, and
we saw, as it were, a vast sea of fire.
Plunged in this fire, we saw the demons
and the souls [of the damned]. The latter were like transparent burning embers,
all blackened or burnished bronze, having human forms. They were floating about
in that conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames which issued from
within themselves, together with great clouds of smoke. Now they fell back on
every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid
shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble
with fright (it must have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people
say they heard me).
The demons were distinguished [from the souls of the
damned] by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown
animals, black and transparent like burning coals. That vision only lasted for
a moment, thanks to our good Heavenly Mother, Who at the first apparition had
promised to take us to Heaven. Without that, I think that we would have died of
terror and fear."
AN ANGEL CAME FIRST
 |
| Angel of Fatima |
Before Our Lady’s appearances in 1917, an Angel of God appeared
to Lucy when she had just turned 8 years old and two other girls in 1915-and
again in 1916 announcing that he was the Angel of Peace and Guardian of
Portugal.
The Angel , kneeling to the
ground, bowed down until his forehead reached the ground and said,
“My God, I believe, I adore,
I hope and I love You!
I ask
pardon of You for those
who do not believe, do not adore,
do not hope and do
not love you!
Having repeated these words three times, he rose and said,
“Pray thus. The
Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.”
He came teaching reverence and adoration by
prayers that we are should say every day.
On the Angel’s second appearance he found the children were
playing a game, he came and said,
“What are you doing? Pray, pray very much!
The Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary
have
designs of mercy on you.
Offer prayers
and sacrifices constantly
to the Most High….
Make of everything you can a
sacrifice,
and offer it to God as an act of reparation
for the sins by which He
is offended,
and in supplication for the conversion of sinners…”
What do we do to wasted precious time when we should be
honoring Our God, praying and making sacrifices. The world gives us television, IPhones and
IPads, electronic media of all sorts… distractions to keep us away from even
thinking about and glorifying Our God. . .
At the third apparition of the Angel , he was holding a chalice
in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of
blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the
chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down and made the children repeat
three times:
“Most Holy Trinity, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit,
I offer You
the most precious
Body, Blood, Soul
and Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in
all the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the sacrileges, outrages
and indifference by which
He Himself if offended.
And through the infinite merits of
His most
Sacred Heart, and
the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I beg of You the conversion of
poor sinners.”
Then rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his
hands. He gave the Sacred Host to Lucy
and the Sacred Blood to Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:
“Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly
outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation
for their crimes and console your God.”
The Holy Eucharist, Christ’s Divine Body and Blood do you
take it for granted????
Do you give Our
Lord the honor and adoration He justly deserves from His people?
Say the prayers that the Angel gave to the
children?
Adore Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament?
Be in the State of Grace when
receiving His Most Precious Body and Blood in Holy Communion by frequent
confession?
YES CONFESSION… so many do not take advantage of this great
sacrament to the detriment of their souls! When you say you do not sin - you call God a liar!!
DO YOU BELIEVE IN HIS TRUE
PRESENCE??
Show Him that you love Him with your whole heart and soul…
Make reparation for the sacrileges,
outrages and
indifference that is shown to Our Blessed Lord..
--- STOP BEING LUKEWARM ---
Come
we have
MUCH WORK TO DO BECAUSE GOD IS VERY MUCH OFFENDED!!!
THE FIRST APPARITION OF OUR LADY
 |
| Our Lady of Fatima and the Children |
“I am of heaven”
this was Her first great message…
For these
words are evocative of the very mystery
connected with Her person…
Several months after the first apparition of the Angel, on
May 13, 1917, Lucy tells us :
“We beheld a Lady all dressed in white. She was more brilliant than the sun, and
radiated a light more clear and intense than a crystal glass filled with
sparkling water, when the rays of the burning sun shine through it… she spoke
to us, “Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm… I am from heaven…. I have come
to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th
day, at the same hour…”
This was the
beginning of the Apparition of Our Lady, the Mother of God.
She said,
“Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and
bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the
sins by which He is offended, and of supplication for the conversion of
sinners?” "…..The children said, yes we
are willing…. Our Lady then said, “Then you are going to have much to suffer,
but the grace of God will be your comfort.”
“….Our Lady spoke again:
“Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world, and
the end of the war.”
WHAT WERE THE MESSAGES
OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA???
~ Penance
 |
| Acts of Reparation for the sins of the world |
"Men must amend
their lives, and ask pardon for their sins. . . . They must no longer offend
Our Lord, Who is already so much offended." The Fatima message is a call
for men to give up sinful practices which grieve God and draw down His
chastisements on the world, and to make reparation for them."
Our Lady told the children,
"pray much and make sacrifices
for sinners, for many souls go to hell because there is no one to make
sacrifices for them."
As to the kinds of sacrifices Our Lady was asking,
she revealed to Sr. Lucia on one occasion:
"The good Lord is allowing
Himself to be appeased . . . but He Himself complains most bitterly and
sorrowfully about the small number of souls in His grace who are willing to
renounce whatever the observance of His laws requires of them."
 |
| Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen |
"The sacrifice required of every person
is the
fulfillment of his duties in life and the observance of My law. This is the
penance that I now seek and require."
It was in this same spirit that the Angel spoke to the
children in 1916:
"Offer up everything in your power as a sacrifice to the
Lord in reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication
for the conversion of sinners . . . More than all else, accept and bear with
resignation the sufferings that God may send you."
~ Prayer
As Our Lady revealed in the third apparition:
"You must
recite the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace
for the world and the end of the war for only she can obtain this."
The Rosary is basically a gospel prayer,
and for those who
pray it properly, it is, as Sr. Lucia said,
"a simple method of getting
closer to God....
But to pray it properly
requires that each decade
be a
reflection on some aspect of the joyful,
sorrowful or glorious mysteries of our
redemption.
Without that meditation,
the Rosary would
become monotonous
repetition.
 |
| Meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary -- The Gospel |
As Pope Paul VI wrote in MARIALIS CULTUS:
"Without this
(contemplation) the Rosary is a body without a soul, and its recitation is in
danger of becoming a mechanical repetition of formulas." In praying the
Rosary we can well take Our Lady as a model, for as the Scriptures tell us,
"Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her Heart."
After repeatedly asking for the daily Rosary, and
identifying herself as "The Lady of the Rosary," the Blessed Mother
terminated the final apparition by showing the children three separate tableaux
symbolizing the entire message of the Rosary.
The first was a vision of the
Holy Family -
representing the Joyful mysteries;
the second a vision of Our
Lady of Sorrows -
representing the Sorrowful mysteries;
and the third a vision
of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel -
representing the Glorious mysteries.
~ Devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
On June 13, Our Lady let the children know that
"Jesus
wishes to establish throughout the world devotion
to my Immaculate Heart."
Several times in the June and July apparitions Our Lady spoke of this devotion,
as we shall see; and soon there began to burn in their hearts (especially
Jacinta's) a deep love for the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
 |
| Jacinta seer of Fatima |
Shortly before Jacinta went to the hospital where she was to
die, she said to Lucia:
"In a short time now I am going to heaven. You are
to stay here and say that God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
. . . Tell everybody that God grants graces
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and that they must ask them from her.
Tell them that the Heart of Jesus wishes that by His side should be venerated
the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask peace through the Immaculate
Heart of Mary; God has placed it in her hands. Oh that I could put into the
heart of everybody the flame that I feel burning within my breast and which
makes me love so much the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary."
On July 13th, Our Lady said
"Sacrifice yourselves for sinners;
and
say often when you make some sacrifice,
'My Jesus, it is for love of You,
for
the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for sins committed
against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.'"
After showing the children a vision of hell, Our Lady said
to them:
"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.
To save
them, God wishes to establish
throughout the world devotion to my Immaculate
Heart.
If people do as I shall ask many souls will be saved,
and there will be
peace....
But if people do not cease offending God...
another and more terrible
war will begin.
When you see a night illumined by an unknown light,
know that
this is the great sign that
God gives that
the chastisement of the world
for
its many transgressions
is at hand through war, famine,
persecution of the Church
and of the Holy Father."
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask
the consecration
of Russia to my Immaculate Heart,
and
Communions of reparation
on the First
Saturdays.
If my requests are heard, Russia will be converted
and there will be
peace.
If not, she will spread her errors
throughout the world, fomenting wars
and persecution of the Church.
The good will suffer martyrdom;
the Holy Father
will suffer much;
different nations will be annihilated.
But in the end my
Immaculate Heart will triumph.
The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me,
which
will be converted, and sometime of peace
will be granted to humanity."
Then Our Lady made known her request for Communions of
reparation:
"My daughter,
look at my Heart encircled
with the thorns
with
which ungrateful men pierce it
at every
moment by
their blasphemies and
ingratitude.
Do you at least
try to console me
and announce in my name that
I
promise to assist at the hour of death
with the graces necessary
for salvation all those who,
on the first Saturday
of five consecutive months,
go to
Confession and
receive Holy Communion,
recite the Rosary and
keep me company
for 15 minutes
while meditating on the
mysteries of the Rosary
with the
intention of making reparation to me."
'..…it appears clearly that this manifestation of the Virgin
Mary, the most spectacular one that ever took place, occupies a unique and
truly extraordinary place in the history of our time.'
