The Message of Fatima
The Message of Fatima is both a warning and a promise. In 1917, between May 13 and October 13, the Queen of Heaven appeared 6 times to three shepherd children in a small village near Fatima, Portugal in order to warn of impending chastisement and offer mankind a sure way of safety and peace. Most Catholics today believe that the Message of Fatima is a thing of the past and no longer pertains to this modern church, which is so focused on social justice and ecology issues.
They are wrong.
The oldest of the shepherd children of Fatima, Lucia explained the message of Fatima to Father Fuentes years later:
“Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world, but She made me understand this for three reasons.”
“The first reason is because She told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Also, from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility.“
“The second reason is because She said to my cousins as well as to myself, that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others.”
“The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence, God always, before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies. Now, when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever, then as we say in our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with certain fear the last means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother. It is with certain fear because if you despise and repulse this ultimate means, we will not have any more forgiveness from Heaven, because we will have committed a sin which the Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Ghost.
The Importance of the Rosary
“Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary, to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations, that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves, we will sanctify ourselves, we will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.”
The message of Fatima is then that we are now in a life or death struggle, even though most people are oblivious. As Sister Lucia warns us, “we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility.” Where do you stand?"
What did Our Lady of Fatima ask for?
At Fatima, the Blessed Virgin did not ask extraordinary things. Essentially, her requests were for prayer (Rosary) and reparation, much as the Old Testament prophets and Jesus’ own demands that the Israelites repent. What she asks is:
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA
The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate heart of Mary, if it were properly done by the Pope in unison with the Bishops of the Church would serve several purposes. Among these are:
Fatima’s message is more relevant today than it ever was. When Pope John XXIII refused to release the message that Our Lady commanded be released in the year 1960, the world experienced a spiritual shock: the Vicar of Christ on earth refusing to obey the Mother of Christ. Never before in history has such a thing happened.
And thus began the Chastisement
The initial chastisement was the result of the spiritual blindness which descended upon the pope and hierarchy following their wilful disobedience. When one separates himself from God by mortal sins, the darkened reason is unable to discern the correct path and stumbles into error and folly. Vatican II and its poisonous fruits, which caused unprecedented abandonment of religious vocations and the loss of faith and Catholic identity of entire nations was the fruit of this spiritual ignorance which descended upon the Church.
ISIS has threatened to raise their hateful flag over the Vatican, and they appear intent in carrying through on all their despicable agenda, so it is not beyond the bounds of reason that the Chastisement may include God’s unleashing the terrible forces of nature (as in the above scenario) and an islamist attack on the Vatican, which could end with the familiar “Bishop in White” at the foot of the cross, as foretold in the released portion of the Third Secret.
What steps are called for at this late hour? How can we return to the message of Fatima?
Take every opportunity to read more about Fatima and its true message. Pray and sacrifice daily for the Consecration of Russia as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. Subscribe to the Fatima Center’s newsletter. John Vennari’s Catholic Family News is a wonderful source for all things related to Fatima, true Catholic teaching.
Now is the time for us to draw close to the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God and trust in her merciful love, which will never fail us. Let us strive to save our souls and all those souls who have been entrusted to us.

What did Our Lady of Fatima ask for?
At Fatima, the Blessed Virgin did not ask extraordinary things. Essentially, her requests were for prayer (Rosary) and reparation, much as the Old Testament prophets and Jesus’ own demands that the Israelites repent. What she asks is:
- Pray at least five decades of the Rosary each day
- Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, i.e., Total Consecration to her Immaculate Heart and including the Brown Scapular.
- Practice of the devotion of First Saturdays of Reparation.
- The consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA
The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate heart of Mary, if it were properly done by the Pope in unison with the Bishops of the Church would serve several purposes. Among these are:
- It is an act that must be initiated and commanded by the Pope personally, therefore it would correct the Vatican II error of collegiality.
- Such an act would indicate the mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, thus correcting Vatican II’s error of false ecumenism with protestant heretics.
- If the Pope were to promote the devotion of the First Saturdays it would provide a strong instruction to the world that sin offends God and that we must pray and make reparation to prevent souls from falling into hell. What an excellent teaching against the pernicious heresy of the neo-modernist theology that is devastating the Church!
Fatima’s message is more relevant today than it ever was. When Pope John XXIII refused to release the message that Our Lady commanded be released in the year 1960, the world experienced a spiritual shock: the Vicar of Christ on earth refusing to obey the Mother of Christ. Never before in history has such a thing happened.

What steps are called for at this late hour? How can we return to the message of Fatima?
- By our personal acts of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of His Mother, Our Lady.
- By our daily rosary for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and through her, of Christ the King.
- By our daily sacrifices in loving reparation for sins against the Sacred and Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary.
- By wearing of Our Lady’s own Scapular of Mount Carmel.
- By practicing the devotion of the First Saturdays of Reparation This devotion is an urgent necessity!
- By promoting the entire Message of Fatima by example and by sharing the information regarding these devotions and the Message of Fatima with others.
