Our Lady of Fatima

GREAT PROMISE OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA

Our Lady has asked sister Lucy that propagate in the world the communion of reparation on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months doing the same end the confession, a quarter of an hour of meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary and recitandone the third part with the same purpose of repairing the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences committed against her Immaculate Heart, promising to those who practiced this devotion to assist them in the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the Salvation.

WHAT HAPPENED AT FATIMA

To tell us what happened at Fatima is the same as Lucy in a recent book testify that “Queriniana” presented as: “LUCIA TELLS FATIMA” – Memoirs – letters-documents – original title: “Memorias e cartas de irmà Lùcia”. A mine of breaking news on an affair which has ploughed through three quarters of a century and who arrives just now in full bloom.

 

The story of Fatima, the apparition of the Virgin Mary to three Shepherd children that tell how their case with simplicity and determination really singular can do anyway good also for those not brought for things that go beyond “This land” and put us in touch with a spiritual reality hard to decipher. The three before you give it to meet the guardian angel of their homeland, (Portugal) e,-so they tell the guys-very beautiful prayers and teaches them new.
Such as: “MY GOD, I BELIEVE, I ADORE, I HOPE AND I LOVE YOU-I BEG YOUR PARDON FOR ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, DO NOT ADORE, DO NOT HOPE, DO NOT LOVE YOU. He himself, after praying three times with these words, takes to say: “PRAY THAT THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY ARE ATTENTIVE TO THE VOICE OF YOUR PETITIONS”.
And later: “WHAT DO YOU DO? Pray! PRAY A LOT! THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY HAVE MERCIFUL DESIGNS ON YOU: DO YOU OFFER CONSTANTLY HIGH PRAYERS AND SACRIFICES.” DO YOU OFFER A SACRIFICE AS AN ACT OF REPARATION FOR THE SINS BY WHICH HE IS OFFENDED, AND IN SUPPLICATION FOR THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS. YOU GET SO FOR YOUR COUNTRY PEACE. I AM HIS GUARDIAN ANGEL, THE ANGEL OF PORTUGAL. Especially; ACCEPTED AND BORNE WITH SUBMISSION THE SUFFERINGS THAT THE LORD SENDS”Icilio says Happy in his beautiful volume revised and expanded by Eugenio Fornasari, which for the visionaries it was one thing to look like “Vera Annunciation” But the Angel in a subsequent appearance--so tell the kids-invites you to turn to God a new prayer: “MOST HOLY TRINITY, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT; I LOVE YOU DEEPLY AND I OFFER YOU THE MOST PRECIOUS BODY, BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY OF JESUS CHRIST PRESENT IN ALL THE TABERNACLES OF THE TER, IN REPARATION FOR THE OUTRAGES, SACRILEGES AND INDIFFERENCES BY WHICH HE IS OFFENDED. AND FOR THE INFINITE MERITS OF HIS MOST SACRED HEART AND THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, I BEG THE CONVERSION OF POOR SINNERS”. And offering them the chalice and the host said:” TAKE AND DRINK THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, HORRIBLY OUTRAGED BY UNGRATEFUL MEN. MAKE REPARATION FOR THEIR CRIMES AND CONSOLE YOUR GOD”.
In the spring of the following year (1917) at the Cova dazzling flashes of light here is preceded by two appear above a small green Holm a lady brighter sunlight caressing gesture and voice with reassuring ... “Don't be afraid. I MEAN YOU NO HARM. Lucia question:”Where does it come from?, “I COME FROM HEAVEN”. What do you want from me? “I CAME TO ASK YOU TO COME HERE FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, THE DAY THIRTEEN, AT THIS VERY HOUR. THEN I WILL TELL YOU WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT. I WILL RETURN HERE A SEVENTH TIME AGAIN”. “And I'll go to heaven?” “Yes” “And Jacinta?” “SHE ALSO” And Francis? ” HE, TOO, BUT MUST SAY HIS ROSARY” Lucy says that he remembered by two girls who had died recently: “Maria das Neves is already in heaven? “YES, IT'S THE '” “And Amelia?” WILL REMAIN IN LIMBO UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD”. Resumes Lucia:”You tell me if the war ends soon or if it lasts a long time? “I CAN'T TELL YOU YET, BEFORE TELLING YOU WHAT I WANT”.
Mrs. splendidissima starts to speak:”YOU WANT TO OFFER YOURSELVES TO GOD READY TO BEAR ALL THE SUFFERINGS THAT HE WILL WANT TO SEND YOU, IN REPARATION FOR THE SINS BY WHICH HE IS OFFENDED, AND TO OBTAIN THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS?

“Yes, we want it!”.

“THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO SUFFER A LOT, BUT THE GRACE OF GOD WILL BE YOUR COMFORT”.

When the Lady he uttered these last words, first opened his hands, by giving us a light so bright, a kind of reflection that came out and we entered the chest and in the depths of the soul, letting us see ourselves in God, which was that light, more clearly how we see ourselves in the best of the mirrors. Then, for an intimate impulse we fell to his knees and we repeated intimately: ” Holy Trinity, I adore you. My God, I love you in the Blessed Sacrament”.

After a while, our Lady said: “RECITE THE CROWN EVERY DAY TO ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE AND THE END OF THE WAR”.…… Then the Lady began to rise and disappeared into a sky that seemed to open up. ..

And it came at 13 June, the feast of Saint Anthony, but for now it is the visionaries ” Feast of Mary”at the Cova da Iria.

Lucia exclaims at once: “Already we have seen the lightning; now comes the Lady!” Of race walked to il leccio followed by cousins dialogue between Lucia and the Virgin leaves people astonished: Lucia:”You have commanded me to come here. Would you do me a favor and tell me what you want from me”? “I WANT TO TELL YOU TO COME BACK HERE ON THE THIRTEENTH OF NEXT MONTH; TO CONTINUE RECIRARE THE ROSARY EVERY DAY, AND I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU LEARN TO READ, TO TELL YOU THEN WHAT I WANT”.

He asked the healing of a sick-“TO CONVERT, AND WILL HEAL WITHIN THE YEAR!”.-I would like to ask you to take us to Heaven- “Yes; JACINTA AND FRANCISCO THEM SHORTLY, BUT YOU STAY HERE FOR A WHILE YET. JESUS WANTS TO USE YOU TO MAKE ME KNOWN AND LOVED. WANTS TO ESTABLISH IN THE WORLD DEVOTION TO MY IMMACULATE HEART. TO WHOM DOES THE RIGHT ' I PROMISE SALVATION-THESE SOULS WILL BE FAVORED BY GOD, AND HOW FLOWERS WILL BE PLACED BY ME IN FRONT OF HIS THRONE”.”I'll stay here alone? -“NO, MY CHILD”. AND YOU SUFFER MUCH? DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, I'M NOT ABANDONING YOU EVER. MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL BE YOUR REFUGE AND THE WAY WHICH WILL LEAD YOU TO GOD.

It was in uttering these last words that she opened her hands and told us, for the second time, the reflection of that immense light, where we saw ourselves as immersed in God in front of the Palm of the right hand of the Virgin there was a heart crowned with thorns that there seemed to be planted. We finally figured out that it was the Immaculate Heart of Mary, outraged by the sins of mankind, he wanted to repair.

More than 2000 people lie on 13 July at the Cova da Iria to see the visionaries who see our Lady

High noon preceded by the usual Flash, Mrs. appears ...

“What do you want from me?”

“I WANT to” – replied the apparition – “YOU COME HERE on 13 of the FOLLOWING MONTH and that you will continue to TELL the CROWN every day to OUR LADY of the ROSARY for PEACE in the WORLD and the end of the war; WHY ONLY SHE CAN HELP.”

“I would like to ask you to tell us who it is; to make a miracle because they believe all that she seems”:

“CONTINUE TO COME HERE EVERY MONTH. IN OCTOBER I WILL TELL WHO I AM, WHAT I WANT AND I WILL DO A MIRACLE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT.”

For further requests for pardons the apparition replied that “... would not have healed the cripple ... nor would free from poverty: but he recited the Rosary every day with the family; That the patient had not hurried, she knew better when it suited him come and get it; other people would get the graces would in the next year, but that it was necessary that played the Rosary.

“OFFER SACRIFICES FOR SINNERS, AND SAY MANY TIMES, ESPECIALLY EVERY TIME YOU MAKE SOME SACRIFICES: O JESUS IS FOR YOUR SAKE, FOR THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS AND IN REPARATION FOR THE SINS COMMITTED AGAINST THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY”!

“You don't want anything from me?”

“NO, TODAY I DON'T WANT ANYMORE”.

“Me neither,”eslamò Lucia ...

Those who had attended had observed this time a white cloud that had fallen on Oak, accompanied by a marked lowering of sunlight ...

But the mother of the Lord in that day had entrusted a secret linked to the delivery of silence composed of three parts, the first two of which were revealed by Lucia, for obedience in 1941 and which relate to: “THE SALVATION OF SOULS” the first and “DEVOTION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY” the second and the third part still remains shrouded in mystery.

Lucia Says: “Saying these words, Mrs. opened hands again, as in the two previous months. It seemed that the reflection penetrated the Earth and saw a sea of fire. Immersed in that fire, demons and souls, as if they were transparent and black embers, or bronze, in human form, floating about in the conflagration, transported by the flames coming out from themselves, along with clouds of smoke that fell from all parts equal to fall sparks in the great fire, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair that aroused horror and they tremble with fear.

The demons were distinguished by the horrific and creepy scary animal forms and unknown, but black-clear Red hot coals.

Scared and how to ask for help, we raised our eyes to our Lady, who said to us with kindness and sorrow: “YOU HAVE SEEN HELL WHERE THE SOULS OF POOR SINNERS GO”.

“TO SAVE THEM, THE LORD WANTS TO ESTABLISH IN THE WORLD DEVOTION TO MY IMMACULATE HEART. IF YOU WILL DO WHAT I TELL YOU MANY SOULS WILL BE SAVED AND THERE WILL BE PEACE. THE WAR WILL END. BUT IF YOU DO NOT CEASE OFFENDING GOD, IN THE REIGN OF PIUS XI, HE WILL START ANOTHER WORSE. WHEN YOU SEE A NIGHT ILLUMINED BY AN UNKNOWN LIGHT, KNOW THAT THIS IS THE GREAT SIGN WHICH GIVES GOD THAT NEXT IS THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WORLD FOR ITS MANY CRIMES, THROUGH WAR FAMINE AND PERSECUTIONS AGAINST THE CHURCH AND AGAINST THE POPE.”

“TO PREVENT THIS, I SHALL COME TO ASK FOR THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO MY IMMACULATE HEART, AND THE COMMUNION OF REPARATION OF THE FIRST SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH. IF YOU WILL LISTEN TO MY QUESTIONS, RUSSIA WILL BE CONVERTED AND THERE WILL BE PEACE. OTHERWISE IT WILL SPREAD HER ERRORS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD CAUSING WARS AND PERSECUTIONS OF THE CHURCH; MANY GOOD WILL BE MARTYRED, THE HOLY FATHER WILL HAVE MUCH TO SUFFER: VARIOUS NATIONS WILL BE ANNIHILATED.” “FINALLY MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH, THE HOLY FATHER WILL CONSECRATE RUSSIA TO ME, WHICH WILL BE CONVERTED, AND A PERIOD OF PEACE WILL BE GRANTED TO THE WORLD. IN PORTUGAL THE DOGMA OF THE FAITH WILL ALWAYS ... ...”

The Virgin, after warning of “DON'T TELL THIS TO ANYONE EXCEPT TO FRANCESCO”, had concluded “WHEN YOU SAY THE ROSARY, SAY AT THE END OF EACH TEN: “O MY JESUS, FORGIVE OUR FAULTS; PRESERVATECI FROM THE FIRES OF HELL; BRING ALL SOULS TO HEAVEN, ESPECIALLY THOSE MOST IN NEED AND HO (YOUR MERCY)”.

He approached then the fourth date with the Lady: the August day 13: and the little Holm, the flicker of a Flash followed immediately by the appearance of a white cloud ... that soon disappears.

The guys aren't able to come this time to the appointment because the Mayor of the town, strongly anticlerical duped them and transferred to municipal House ... evidently were beginning to be dangerous for thinking well. Nothing availed to move kids from their fixed idea to Madonna, this time down at the Cova da Iria had not met due to force majeure. Nothing availed him to reveal the secret confided to them by the mother of Jesus and nothing could threats ...

The secret “Could not reveal, because our Lady had commanded them not to tell anyone ...”

Eventually the seers are put into prigione...ma even this li moves from delivery of Mary. Are threatened with death, and: even this makes them desist ...

But the best surprise the boys had the following Sunday – day 19 at the place called Valinhos where our Lady reaches them unexpectedly and quenches their suffering and anguish to be missed on 13 to the Cova.

“What do you want from me?” is the usual beautiful Lucia question. ...

“I WANT to TELL YOU that YOU WILL CONTINUE to GO to the COVA DA IRIA on DAY 13; THAT WE SAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY. IN THE LAST MONTH, I'LL DO THE MIRACLE, SO THAT ALL MAY BELIEVE. IF IT HAD NOT BROUGHT INTO THE VILLAGE THE MIRACLE WOULD HAVE BEEN GRANDER”.

“What do you want me to make some money that people leave at the Cova da Iria?”

“MAKE TWO STRETCHERS: A GET HER FACE WITH JACINTA AND TWO OTHER GIRLS; the other TAKE FRANCIS with THREE OTHER CHILDREN. MONEY STRETCHERS ARE FOR THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY; AND WHAT MOVE FORWARD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CHAPEL, THAT WILL DO.”

“I would like to ask you the healing of some sufferers.

“YES, SOME WILL HEAL THEM LATER THIS YEAR. “-“PRAY, PRAY MUCH; AND MAKE SACRIFICES FOR SINNERS, MIND THAT MANY, MANY SOULS GO TO HELL BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE WHO MAKE SACRIFICES AND PRAY FOR THEM”.

After this he began to rise into the sky in the direction of East and disappeared to their sight ...

For a fifth appearance at the Cova de Iria there was a large crowd from all over, maybe by number of twelve thousand people. Is the 13 September and are about to shoot the 12 ... here comes the Sun veil and the globe of light arriving from East to West ... Maria gets to talk to his little dear ....

“CONTINUE TO RECITE THE CROWN TO OBTAIN THE END OF THE WAR. THE LORD WILL COME IN OCTOBER, OUR LADY OF SORROWS, OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL, SAINT JOSEPH WITH THE CHILD JESUS, TO BLESS THE WORLD. GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOUR SACRIFICES, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH THE ROPE. TAKE ONLY THE DAY.”

“They begged me to ask him many things: the healing of some sufferers, a deaf-mute.

“YES, SOMEONE WILL WAIVE OTHER, NO. IN OCTOBER I WILL DO THE MIRACLE SO THAT ALL MAY BELIEVE.”

For all those present during this interview, he had been visibly permission from Madonna to see a part of the sky going yellow gold and a white cloud encircle the leccio wrapping in her alone even the visionaries.

As well as all could attend upon dismissal of vision ascend the luminous globe skyward and see a shower of white petals infiniti that come to little to Earth disappeared.

The following month, October, was to be the month of leave by our Lady at Cova da Iria, because our Lady had specifically mentioned in 13 of October, the date of its last appearance. Therefore everyone is anxiously waiting to see the miracle that had been announced for that date from the visionaries on behalf of the mother of the Lord.

On the morning of day 13 a crowd was already gathering and far-fetched came from all over the area, but also many from Oporto, Coimbra, from Lisbon with special envoys of the national and international press. It is spoken by about 60,000 admissions to await the event.

Begins the recitation of the Rosary beneath a persistent drizzle ... high noon Lucy announced to have noticed the “Lightning!”

“Here she is! Here she is!”-Lucia now is ecstatic towards the apparition ...

“What do you want from me?”

“I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT HERE IS A CHAPEL IN MY HONOR; WHO ARE OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY; THEY CONTINUE TO TELL THE CROWN EVERYDAY. THE WAR WILL END AND THE SOLDIERS WILL SOON RETURN TO THEIR HOMES.”

“I have many things to ask: If caring for the sick and if converts some sinners, etc.”

“SOME YES; OTHERS, NO. MUST BE REDEEMED; ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THEIR SINS. ” “DO NOT OFFEND GOD OUR LORD ANYMORE, WHO'S ALREADY SO OFFENDED.”

The Virgin, now open your hands, does reflect in the Sun; and, while it had been erected, the reflection of his own light continued to be reflected in the Sun. Moved by an inner inspiration Lucia yells at everyone to look towards the Sun ... there,-gone the Madonna in the immensity of the heavens-the visionaries see next to the Sun St. Joseph and child and our Lady, dressed in white with blue cloak.

St. Joseph and the child seemed to bless the world with certain gestures in the shape of a cross that went out with the hand. A few moments later, another picture: “The Lord and the blessed mother that Lucia seemed to be our Lady of Sorrows. The Lord seemed to bless the world, in the same manner as St. Joseph. Finally a third framework follows: “the Madonna, with similar appearance to our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Everyone here, from coming to the visionaries to further than several kilometres were able to witness the great miracle that the Madonna kept in store, what will be called:”THE MIRACLE OF THE SUN”!

CAME TRUE ON PRODIGY PROMISED TO LUCIA FOR HIS PEOPLE BY OUR LADY!!!

They saw the rain cease abruptly, tearing off clouds, the solar disc look like a silver Moon and turn sharply on itself, like a wheel of fire, projecting beams of light in every direction of each color, which flared up fantastically the clouds in the sky, the trees, the rocks, Earth, and riverberavano on the immense crowd, abbagliandola.

A few moments of rest, and then again a dance of light, like a pinwheel dazzling and rich.

One more stop and then, for the third time, a fireworks display, more diverse, more colourful and more radiant than ever.

The multitude feels like the Sun from releasing itself from the firmament and you rush to set fire to it; and therefore a single, immense cry of amazement and terror, breaks out: “Miracle! Miracle!”

When everything ends well the clothes just before water-soaked are completely dry at all this people that has felt the need to ask forgiveness for the wrongs done to the Lord ....

At the Cova da Iria Madonna was really dropped and had actually operated in front of everyone, because everyone could believe and testify!

HIS MESSAGE OF MERCY AND SALVATION!

But for the visionaries the apparition continues: following the Virgin that is slowly rising in the background of sunlight until it was lost ... and at the Sun appears a last picture: the HOLY FAMILY.

On the right the Madonna with mantle Cerulean and his face brighter than the Sun; left St. Joseph with the baby Jesus, in the Act of blessing the world with the sign of redemption.

Finally still another painting seen from Lucia: the Lord blessing the people and again our Lady under the aspect of Addolorata and Carmine then.

To fade the last picture yet the Sun stained light prodigious heaven and Earth, things and creatures ...

Note: although as written cannot be brought to believe as a dogma but we must so much gratitude to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco who recounted.

Compiling these pages is also served by what is written brilliantly by Luigi Gonzaga De Fonseca in “The wonders of Fatima” Ediz. Revised and updated by Joaquin Maria Alonso's Editions: Paul 1997.
