OUR LADY OF FATIMA
THIRD
APPARITION
JULY 13, 1917
Mr. Marto, father of Jacinta and
Francisco, noticed that when the third apparition began, a small grayish cloud
hovered over the holm oak, the sunlight diminished, and a cool breeze blew over
the mountain range, despite it being the height of summer. He also heard
something like flies inside an empty jug. The seers saw the customary glare,
and then Our Lady over the holm oak.
Lucia: What does Your Grace wish of
me?
Our Lady: I want you to come here on
the thirteenth of next month and to continue to pray the Rosary every day in
honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and the
end of the war, for she alone can be of any avail.
Lucia: I would like to ask you to
tell us who you are and to perform a miracle so everyone will believe that Your
Grace appears to us.
Our Lady: Continue to come here every
month. In October, I will tell you who I am and what I wish, and I will perform
a miracle that everyone shall see so as to believe.
Lucia then made a number of requests
for conversions, cures, and other graces. Our Lady recommended the constant
recitation of the rosary; thus they would obtain those graces during the year.
Then she went on: "Sacrifice
yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make a
sacrifice, 'O Jesus, this is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.'’
The vision of hell
Lucia writes, “Our Lady showed us a
great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were
demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened
or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the
air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds
of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight
or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which
horrified us and made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished
by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals,
all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant. How can we ever
be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by
promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise, I think we
would have died of fear and terror.”
The warning of the chastisement and how to
avoid it
The children then looked up at Our
Lady, who said to them so kindly and so sadly:
“You have seen hell where the souls
of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion
to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved
and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease
offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI.
When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great
sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by
means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To
prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my
Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my
requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not,
she will 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. In the end, my Immaculate Heart
will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be
converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world. In Portugal, the
dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc. ...”
"The Errors of Russia"
Communism is an atheistic ideology
that ultimately denies God’s natural order and natural law, which God inscribed
on the hearts of men. Denying God, Communism attaches divinity status to the
Party and to the State. As such, Communism transfers all personal
responsibility to the Party and totalitarian state. Denying natural law,
Communism rejects the basic rights to private property, and monogamous,
indissoluble marriage two indispensable pillars of a free society. Dictatorship
is not a chance fact in Communism, but the logical and necessary consequence of
its ideology. For strategic reasons, Communism may take on different political
forms, including apparently democratic ones, and hide behind varied labels.
Already in the 1930’s, the Communist Party launched the so-called policy of the
extended hand, in which it showed to the outside world a smiling, friendly face
while, Stalin’s iron hand imposed a ferocious, despotic dictatorship in Russia.
This deception has been used time and
again throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
