Essay / Our Holy Mother at Fatima - 1750
Our Holy Mother at FatimaOn May 13, 1917, three children were playing in the fields while taking care of their sheep. Suddenly, they saw a flash of light. Thinking it was a flash of lightning, the children gathered the sheep and started back towards the house. They took refuge under a tree about a hundred meters away. They saw a flash of light again. They started to run when they saw, standing above a small green oak, a Lady dressed in white brighter than the sun. This was the beginning of Our Blessed Mother at Fatima. She visited the children six times to bring them messages for the world. In all her appearances at Fatima, Our Mother repeatedly emphasized the need to pray the Rosary daily, to wear the brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and to perform acts of reparation and sacrifice. Our Lady's message to the world is contained in what has become called the "Secret." The Secret actually consists of three parts, the first two of which have been revealed. The first part of The Secret was a horrific vision of hell "where the souls of poor sinners go" and contained an urgent call from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls. The second part of The Secret recounted the outbreak of the Second World War and demanded the consecration of Russia as a condition for world peace. He also predicts the triumph of His Immaculate Heart after the consecration and conversion of Russia. The last part of the Secret (often called the "Third Secret") has not yet been made public, but Lucy wrote it in 1944 and is in the possession of the Pope.What is Fatima?The Intervention from heaven to save us from persecution, war, annihilation, slavery and hellFatima is a visit from our Heavenly Mother Mary in our time and for our time.
