the popein Malta, returns to the conflict in Ukraine and stresses that despite its eruption on February 24, it “has been fueled over the years. Yes, the war has been preparing for some time with large investments and arms trade». For this reason, Francis warns today not to prepare any more wars and demands that “the huge funds that continue to be earmarked for armaments be converted into development, health and food”. Not weapons, but “we need compassion and care, not ideological visions and populisms that feed on hate words and don’t care about the concrete lives of people, ordinary people”.
The Pope’s fear in recent weeks is the prolongation and widening of the Russia/Ukraine war, which may turn into a global conflict and also lead to deployment nuclear weapons (as suggested by the Russian and American leaders). Therefore, on March 25, the Pope wanted to carry out the solemn consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with this request: “Relieve us from war, protect the world from the nuclear threat”. The consecration was an express assent by the Pope to Our Lady of Fatima’s request on July 13, 1917. At this apparition, the Virgin gave the three shepherd children the famous mystery, the third part of which was a vision centered on the Holy Father, who, before reaching a great cross, “crossed a great city, half in ruins and half trembling, with shaky step, racked with pain and pain, and praying for the souls of the corpses he met on his way”. On the top of the mountain, “at the foot of the great cross, he was killed” along with “other bishops, priests” and believers.
INTERPRETATION
The destroyed city with the dead on the street looks like a devastated scene of a war. But which one? When this third part of the mystery, talked about for decades, was revealed at the behest of John Paul II in June 2000 a symbolic interpretation was proposed: the vision represented twentiethcentury Calvary marred by totalitarianism, wars, genocides, from persecution of Christians and martyrdom (with a pope nearly killed). But if the Third Secret concerned only the prophetic vision of the attack on the Pope and the wars that had already taken place in the twentieth century, because in 1984 (three years after the attack), then Cardinal Ratzinger declared that the secret had not yet been disclosed , “to avoid sensationalism”? The text published in 2000 does not seem to justify this concern. And it was Benedict XVI. himself, who in Fatima in 2010 contradicted those who claimed that what the Third Secret announced now belongs to the past century: “Whoever believed that the prophetic mission of Fatima is over. Here we experience God’s plan, which has challenged mankind from the beginning: “Where is Abel, your brother? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!”. Man was able to unleash a cycle of death and terror, but he is unable to break it ».
This again raised the question of what the explanation for this vision of the devastation of war is. There are “details” that indicate the existence of a part of the Third Secret that has not been revealed. It would be the part containing the words with which the Madonna herself explains this vision (as she had explained the vision of Hell to the little shepherds a little earlier). Among other things, on December 8, 1941, Sister Lucia, illustrating the second part of the mystery once more, added a quote from the Virgin: “In Portugal the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc.” in which the etc. refers to the continuation of the speech, which is then not there in the third part of the mystery revealed in 2000. There are no words from Our Lady. In my book The Fourth Secret of Fatima, I listed the elements that indicate the existence of a missing part of the third secret. These are of course hypotheses. But Sister Lucia’s interview with Father Agostino Fuentes (postulator of the process of beatification of the other shepherd children) seems significant, where she declared in 1957: “The Blessed Virgin told us that many nations will disappear from the face of the earth. She said that if we don’t achieve the conversion of this miserable nation first, Russia will be God’s chosen instrument to punish the whole world.
THE CLEANING
Many “apocalyptic hypotheses have appeared in the newspapers over the years. But the recent official publication of Sister Lucia’s biography, edited by her sisters from Coimbra, went unnoticed. The book is based on the unpublished writings of the visionary. Among other things, Sister Lucia tells how Our Lady helped her to overcome the difficulties she had to write the “third secret requested by the ecclesiastical authority. She does this on the diary page of January 3, 1944. At 4 p.m. the nun goes to the chapel, where she is comforted by Our Lady and has this vision: “I felt the spirit flooded with a mystery of light that is God and in to him I saw and heard: the point of the spear like a flame that expands until it touches the axis of the earth and trembles: mountains, cities, towns and villages with their inhabitants are buried. The sea, the rivers and the clouds burst their banks, inundating, inundating and whirling with them an incalculable number of houses and people: it is the cleansing of the world from the sin into which it has immersed itself. Hatred and ambition provoke a destructive war ». The Then card. Ratzinger explained that the prophetic warnings of Fatima are given to avert these impending dangers: the consecration last March 25 had this purpose. Sister Lucia added in the diary: “Later I heard a gentle voice in my spirit saying, ‘In time one faith, one baptism, one church, holy, catholic, apostolic. Heaven forever!’». Could this be the “conversion of Russia” demanded by Our Lady, the return of the Eastern Church to unity with Rome?
