matter what our religious or political bent that the world is getting we weirder and Wilder by the day and yes that applies to the chaos that has seeped into the church the Third Secret of Fatima has been only partially revealed and it maybe announces today's crisis in the church the story of Fatima is a journey of Faith mystery and miracles that continues to inspire Millions worldwide the message of peace and Penance from our lady still resonates today inviting us to reflect and pray for World Peace 23 years after the apparitions Lucia dos Santos under the
orders of the local Bishop of Fatima was tasked with writing down the secrets our lady had entrusted to them she quickly wrote down the first two Secrets but hesitated when it came to the third it was only out of obedience to the bishop that Lucia finally wrote down the third secret and sealed it in an envelope that was not to be opened until 1960 when it was believed the world would be better prepared to understand it in 2000 Francisco and hinta Marto were beatified by Pope John Paul II becoming the youngest non-m martyr children to
be beatified by the Roman Catholic church coinciding with the Centennial of the Fatima apparitions the siblings were canonized by Pope Francis in 2017 during a series of six apparitions Our Lady of Fatima entrusted the three children with three Secrets or visions known as the three secrets of Fatima the first secret was a terrifying vision of Hell Lucia recounted that the Virgin Mary showed them what hell was like complete with the suffering of the souls trapped there although the vision lasted only a moment it was nearly unbearable for the children deepening their faith in Mary's promise
to guide her devotees to Christ to save Souls from Eternal suffering in the second secret the Virgin Mary revealed a prophetic Vision to the children World War I ongoing during the apparitions would end but a new world war would begin as predicted World War II began in 1939 confirming the prophecy these secrets are not merely distant Visions but calls to action urging us to lead lives of faith and devotion Our Lady of Fatima warns us of the dangers we Face guiding us with messages of Hope and Penance stay tuned for further Revelations about these powerful
prophecies and their significance for us today now we delve into the enigmatic and fascinating Third Secret of Fatima the best-kept secret of the 20th century secrecy breeds speculation and much speculation was made as to the content of this Third Secret some declarations made by Lucia complaining that the Holy Father had not made the consecration to Mary requested by the Blessed Virgin LED some to think that the Third Secret contained apocalyptic predictions that the popes preferred to reserve to themselves in order to avoid Panic after the accident Pope John Paul II began to turn around his
person he became the pope of Fatima even making a pilgrimage to the site and placing the bullet that had wounded him in the crown of the image there as a sign of Thanksgiving for her maternal protection he said that one hand pulled the trigger and another hand guided the bullet it is indeed amazing to note how the bullet was able to pass through his body in very sensitive areas without hitting any vital organs nearly 20 years would pass before the pope would publish the secret there was a certain effort to publish it in 1984 and
another current wanted to reveal the secret on a May 13th in commemoration of the anniversary of the first Apparition as Russia was specifically mentioned in the first parts of the message the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to Fresh speculation the Angel's message asking for Penance in order to avoid Earthly catastrophes should be taken to Heart the message of Fatima is consistent with the message revealed in the Third Secret prayer and Devotion to the Blessed Virgin should be coupled with penance Mary can avert disasters because of her special relationship with her son the
Third Secret is often associated with the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II he is thus identified as the bishop in white seen by the children but the prophecy seems to be much greater than this perhaps the deeper lesson is that prayer and Penance need to be practiced as the best possible protection against a general apostasy apostasy is the sin of denying the fa faith and what was once a manner of escaping death from persecution has become almost a fad in many Western countries it seems popular or cool to be unchurched and unaffiliated to organized
religion curiously the rise in apostasy has not ended the era of Martyrs for the 20th century has witnessed on the contrary a multiplication of Martyrs both clergy and Ley Russia itself proved to be a country rich in Martyrs and persecution of the Christianity the exhortation of the Blessed Virgin to prayer and Penance has not been heeded sufficiently and thus she has not been able to intervene as she would have liked the conversion of Russia is still lacking in Fatima Mary asked the shepherd children to pray for the Holy Father her message would be difficult for
him but also a source of consolation and strength what is clear about the secret is that it is a call to prayer for Bishops and especially the Pope the Church of the 20th and now 21st century is a church that faces persecution and needs the protection of prayer and Mary's mantle Our Lady of Fatima pray for us Vatican discloses Third Secret of Fatima here then is the vision of the Third Secret that was released by The Vatican on June 26 2000 at the left of our lady and a little above we saw an angel with
a flaming sword in his left hand flashing it gave out Flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire but they died out in contact with the Splendor that our lady radiated towards him from her right hand pointing to the Earth with his right hand the angel cried out in a loud voice Penance Penance Penance and we saw in an immense light that is God something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in in front of it a bishop dressed in white we had the impression that it was
the Holy Father other bishops priests men and women religious going up a steep Mountain at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough Hune trunks as of a cork tree with the bark before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in Ruins and half trembling with halting step Afflicted with pain and sorrow he prayed for The Souls of the corpses he met on his way having reached the top of the mountain on his knees at the foot of the big cross he was killed by a group of soldiers
who fired bullets and arrows at him and in the same way there died one after another the other bishops priests men and women religious and various lay people of different ranks and positions beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand in which they gathered up the blood of the martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God the official Vatican interpretation of this is that it is a prophecy of the 1981 assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II and of
course most of you are aware Cardinal ratzinger has stated that Catholics are not under obligation to accept this interpretation regarding what the Vatican released there seems to be no reason to doubt that this is actually part of the Third Secret the problems however show themselves in other areas about the Third Secret this was a vision seen by the Sears in which a bishop dressed in white taken to be the pope struggled up a mountain through a half ruined City followed by numerous Catholics of all ranks at the top of the mountain was a rough wooden
cross and here the pope and his followers were all killed this Vision was explained in 2000 as symbolic of the sufferings undergone by the church during the 20th century in particular Fama Fanatics have held hunger strikes one even hijacked a plane to try to force the Vatican to disclose the secret during John Paul's first visit to the Shrine in 1982 on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt a knife-wielding Spanish priest tried to kill the pope but was wrestled To The Ground by security officers Pope John Paul II has always credited the virgin of Fatima
with saving his life after he visited the Shrine in 1982 to give thanks for his survival a bullet extracted from his body was placed alongside diamonds in a gold crown worn by a statue of the virgin in 1991 on the 10th anniversary of the attack he returned again to give thanks for his life as well as for the collapse of Communism which Believers say the virgin of Fatima also predicted in 1917 on the solemn occasion of his visit to Fatima his Holiness has directed me to make an announcement to you Cardinal sodano said adding that
the pope wishes his pilgrimage to be a renewed gesture of gratitude to our lady for her protection during these years of his papacy this protection seems also to be linked to the so-called third part of The Secret of Fatima Pope John Paul II did refer to the prophecies today speaking of Fatima where these times of tribulation were foretold but he made no mention of the Third Secret instead he once again gave thanks for the goodness of God toward me when severely struck on that May 13th 1981 I was rescued from Death this Revelation helps to
explain the Pope's conviction that Our Lady of Fatima saved his life in an attack that took place on the 65th anniversary of the first Apparition at Fatima the pope believed that a motherly hand which guided the bullet's path delivered him from the threshold of death the pope first learned of the secret a few days after he was elected in 1978 the Vatican said he did not announce it himself today said his spokesman Dr wakin Navaro vals because he was personally involved Vatican officials did not say why the secret was not revealed sooner after the assassination
attempt in 1981 the fact that the pope put the two dead witnesses to the virgin's apparitions on the path of sainthood today was another sign of his Devotion to Fatima the two Francisco and Jinta Marto are the first children ever beatified by the Roman Catholic Church who were not Martyrs beatification which is bestowed only on the dead is the penultimate step before saood for many decades the Third Secret of Fatima was considered by many people people to be one of the great Mysteries of the church because our lady's Third Secret given privately only to Lucy
was held back for many more years it led to much speculation and many conspiracy theories about its contents what seemed clear was that the message reinforced with much more detail that Humanity faced a very dire future filled with chaos if it did not turn away from sin I think we can all agree no matter what our religious or political bent that the world is getting weirder and Wilder by the day and yes that applies to the chaos that has seeped into the church here's what Pope John Paul II said in 1980 during a visit to
Fula Germany when asked about the Third Secret he replied if there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the earth that from one moment to the other millions of people will perish there is no no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message many want to know merely out of curiosity or because of their taste for sensationalism but they forget that to know implies for them a responsibility it is dangerous to want to satisfy one's curiosity only if one is convinced that we can
do nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted later Cardinal ratzinger indirectly admitted in an interview that the Third Third Secret did indeed contain these catastrophic warnings Cardinal ratzinger's response that revealing the Third Secret would add nothing necessary for the Christian to know and that it would mean exposing the church to the danger of sensationalism exploitation of the content also seemed to confirm albeit with prudent circumlocutions that the contents of the Third Secret of Fatima did contain those disconcerting messages clear cly both John Paul II and Cardinal ratzinger dodged the question but why if the
Third Secret did not contain these frightening threats why not just say so a no would not have been Sensational and in fact would have helped diffuse the speculation for decades the world has known the main message of Fatima the Blessed Mother warned that punishment would come involving great sufferings for the world if mankind did not repent from from its sins especially sins of the Flesh and bad marriages but our lady also warned that Wars are only punishments for the sins of the world so in 2000 when the Vatican revealed what it said was the Third
Secret in its entirety the collective reaction of many people was that's it people sensed a disconnect between the Urgent warnings of Our Lady of Fatima throughout the years to repent and the vatican's Bland report that everything about the Third Secret had already happened for example that the pope would be attacked but survive instead people look around and saw the world still sliding toward total corruption and evil just as our lady warned who can deny that lawful man-woman marriage has broken down completely families are in chaos and suicide is legally sanctioned the list of outrageous evils
is well known and it goes on on and on the children were ented to meet Our Lady of Fatima there were many adults at that time but why did Our Lady of Fatima choose to reveal herself to three children that's not a coincidence guys and not every child will receive such Grace from our lady the life of Lu Francisco and Chinta little Shepherds of Fatima is a history of grace and mercy in in these children we see in action the same paradoxical Force which marks and acts in the whole history of Salvation the infinite disproportion
between the history of the proud and Powerful with their schemes strategies and conflicts and the history of the humble who in the truth of their existence are invited by God to be a leaven of transformation of humanity as seers of God's mercy the little Shepherds will make known the message by them welcomed through their simple lives they are chosen to be Witnesses of the presence of God's love of the God who is love irradiating and making transparent to the world his merciful face that will turn their lives into a reflection of that light which is
God himself in the shade of an oak the lady made them see themselves in this light born in aljustrel a small place of Fatima Parish in the early 20th century the brothers Francis and Jinta and their cousin Luchia grow in a modest family environment in a harsh quiet and remote Village they did not know how to read or write and little would actually know about geography history and World wisdom Beyond the Horizon and mountains they received a very simple Christian upbringing and education as it was expected in the secluded environment in which they lived Lucia's
mother introduced her daughter and nephew to catechesis and Lucia herself a little older than her cousins will teach them the biblical stories and the prayers she had learned from her mother however despite the Simplicity of their Christian initiation their parents and gave them a living example of committed Faith the Sunday participation in the Eucharist prayer in family truth and respect for all charity towards the poor and the needy Lucia was a mindful child attentive to God's love the inner desire to be fully wrapped in the Embrace of God will be the continuous line of the
path she will follow Francisco with his contemplative gaze feeding the inner silence stared at nature as one who feels the creation and plunges into the beauty of the Creator he was fascinated by both the sunrise and sunset which was his preferred candle the candle of the Lord Penta had a special preference for the candle of our Lady the moon which did not hurt the eyes the little girl accompanied very closely her cousin Luchia for whom she had great affection she embraced the Lambs called them by name and walked among them carrying on in her bosom
to do as our Lord they lived intensely as only children can do these children lived a simple life devoted all their love to God sincerely without un necessary thoughts and received the Divine response in a 1916 spring afternoon after their simple prayer the little Shepherd saw over the trees a light whiter than snow in the shape of a young man transparent as Crystal when the sun shines through it at this moment nothing would make them assume that light in human form was the herald of God's peace that would initiate them in their school of spirituality
and prayer it was something totally unexpected and the little Shepherds felt caught up in the contemplation of that immense light plunged into an intense atmosphere in which the strength of the presence of God made them to be absorbed and struck dumb with amazement the angel of Peace visited them three times in spring and summer of 1916 his words deeply impressed upon the minds of the children as a light which made them understand who God is how he loves them and desires to be loved refer to God's heart speak of a heart attentive to the voice
of the humble for which he has a plan of Mercy the angel invites the children to the profound Adoration of the Most Holy Trinity to associate themselves with the sacrifice of Christ in the reconciliation of all in God afterwards he offers them the body and blood of Christ this first and foremost gift in whose light they will be asked asked to offer themselves in sacrifice for all ungrateful men for all those who do not know how to live in an attitude of Thanksgiving since then the little Shepherds will live plunged in this worship of God
with a discreet but confident and bold desire to turn their lives into a gift offered to the Creator in behalf of others this will be their vocation when our lady more brilliant than the sun breaks out on May 13th 1917 and enters into the lives of three children for 6 months every 13th the Virgin Mary will renew this invitation on base of which the three Shepherds will become humble Witnesses of God's heart in the complexity of a suffering world 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 in a succession of images unveiled by our lady the little Shepherds grasp the idea that God's heart is caring for the human history that sin consists in being indifferent to God's heart that God is merciful and is always in search of man entangled in his dramas and misfortunes and that those who embrace the light of God's heart are invited to participate by prayer pray and sacrifice in his care for Humanity on the first immersion
in that light Lucia Francisco and hinta still savoring The Echoes of the depth they had experienced decided not to tell anything of what happened but hinta strongly affected by the beauty of the lady and full of an irrepressible Joy cannot refrain herself she is the first Herald and messenger of this newfound Divine Joy commun unated by the lady and like the Disciples of IMA who in front of the Pascal mystery had a burning feeling in the chest she will confess to her friends I had inside me something that would not let me be silent the
news of the apparitions of the lady of the Rosary soon will make its way and the number of those who as pilgrims come to the kova deera will certainly increase and so the children will have much to suffer at the hands of those who doubted or opposed them already in the first encounter almost as if to confirm the children Fiat the lady had assured them that they would have much to suffer as was the case with prophets the vocation of the little Shepherds accepts suffering as an integral part of their mission they will be for
many accused of Fraud and greed even their own families except perhaps the father of Francisco and hinta fear they are spreading a lie and are afraid for their life at home and everywhere they are subjected to visits and to incessant and strenuous interrogations but the greatest trial and affliction would occur on August 13th on the morning of that day the children are surprised by the visit of the municipality of a administrator a well-known Mason and free thinker after having questioned them in their home and at the rectory because he wanted at all costs to know
the secret they insisted on keeping concealed the administrator in a tricky and deceitful way proposes to lead them to the the kova iria but in fact conveys them to a there he insists on pressing the kids to unveil their secret and even reach the point of locking them for a while in a cell with other prisoners and of uttering the threat of making them fry in olive oil Francisco innocent reply radiates peace and joy if they kill us it's all the same we'll go to heaven the life of the shepherd children no more ceased to
be paced and measured by God's heart the Fiat uttered to the lady more brilliant than the sun was constantly renewed by the innocent desire of Lucia Francisco and Jinta to intensify in their lives the passionate affection for God the presence of God became for them sacred ground and like Moses barefoot in front of the burning bush their intimacy is transmuted into an act of adoration in the presence of that inner light which is God which burns without consuming that's the ineffable secret of strengthening them this sacred Bush burning in their chest awakens them as once
did to Moses for the mission of caring for those who live in the slavery of sin and ingratitude and so in sight of all others they are the presence of God's light and also before God mediators in behalf of all others their lives become a constant offering of everything they are and do however slight for the love of God and in favor of Sinners Francisco hinta and luchia's lives assume this vocation that is inseparably contemplative compassionate and announcing but each each of them will take on with a particular and greater accent the specific nature of
their calling Francisco moved by his inner eye sensitive to the spirit's light listens to the call to worship and contemplation little Jinta translates The Joy Purity and generosity of Faith welcomed as an offering of God's heart and diffused through the chores and Trifles of her life as a simple girl into a sacrifice acceptable to God in behalf of humanity Lucia welcomes the mission to evangelize to make known the good news of God's mercy responding to the merciful God's desire to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Lucia is the witness who quenches herself
in order that light of the secret of God's mercy Shine without interruption as already definitively revealed by the Sun and remembered at Fatima in her we can catch a glimpse of the faithful witness of a gift that is accepted and offered to the world Francisco and H's lives were brief and simple they only lived from Love and for love which was revealed to them in the light offered by the hands of such a beautiful lady and that was all at the end of 1918 Francisco and hinta are taken by a Bronco pneumonia epidemic the lady
had assured them they would go to heaven and very soon and so the children understood that their time was coming who would suspect that so brief and simple lives were capable of such love a calling to repentance although many of the secrets speak of past events there is a Common Thread in all of them the call to the conversion of Sinners because their bad behavior is the main cause of the evils of the world this is the perennial news of the message of foda Pope John Paul II had a special relationship with Our Lady of
Fatima because of the assassination attempt against him he attributed his survival to her guiding hand though three bullets pierced his torso two went through his abdomen without hitting any vital organs while the third barely missed his heart in a 1997 message for the world day of the sick Pope John Paul II remarked on the importance of Our Lady of Fatima's call to repentance a demonstration of her concern for mankind the lady of the message seems to read the signs of the times the signs of our time with special Insight the insistent invitation of Mary Most
Holy to penance is nothing but the manifestation of her maternal concern for the fate of the Human family in need of conversion and forgiveness Pope Benedict was also greatly devoted to Our Lady of Fatima and waved the 5-year waiting period for the sainthood cause of sister Lucia because of her role in The Miracles of Fatima in a message at The Shrine of Fatima in 2010 he discussed how Our Lady of Fatima calls for us to give up the Comforts of the world and offer ourselves to God in sacred scripture we often find that God seeks
righteous men and women in order to save the city of man and he does the same here in Fatima when our lady asks do you want to offer yourselves to God to endure all the sufferings which he will send you in an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended and of Supplication for the conversion of Sinners at a time when the Human family was ready to sacrifice all that was most sacred on the altar of the petty and selfish interests of Nations races ideologies groups and individuals our blessed mother came from
Heaven offering to implant in the hearts of all those who trust in her the love of God burning in her own heart at that time it was only to three children yet the example of their lives spread and multiplied especially as a result of the travels of the pilgrim virgin in countless groups throughout the world dedicated to the cause of fraternal solidarity
