The Fatima Secrets given 100 years ago this week!
Here we present Cornelia Ferreira's recent Fatima newsletter, this month focusing on the Secrets revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to the Children of Fatima on July 13, 1917. It is a perfect time, being the 100th anniversary of this apparition and the revelation of the Secrets to discuss the content with the world again. Focused on here are the First and Second Secrets. The First Secret involved the vision of Hell given to the Three Children, the Second Secret focused on Russia and the consequences of which would follow from the Pope's failure to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. One related to the eternal destiny of individuals, one related to the political and spiritual fate of the world. In the Third Secret, which I will deal with in the next posting, deals with the predicted --- and now realized --- apostasy in the Church.
I thank Cornelia Ferreira's continuing efforts to put forward the true message of Our Lady at Fatima.

Apparition of July 13, 1917
As recounted in Sister
Lucia’s Memoirs
A few moments after arriving at the Cova da Iria,
near the holmoak, where a large number of
people were praying the Rosary, we saw the
flash of light once more, and a moment later Our
Lady appeared on the holmoak.
“What do you want of me?” I [Lucia] asked.
“I want you to come here on the 13th of next
month, to continue to pray the Rosary every day
in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order
to obtain peace for the world and the end of the
war, because only She can help you.”
“I would like to ask you to tell us who you are,
and to work a miracle so that everybody will
believe that you are appearing to us.”
“Continue to come here every month. In
October, I will tell you who I am and what I
want, and I will perform a miracle for all to see
and believe.”
I then made some requests, but I cannot recall
now just what they were. What I do remember is
that Our Lady said it was necessary for such
people to pray the Rosary in order to obtain
these graces during the year. And She continued:
“Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many
times, especially whenever you make some
sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the
conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the
sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of
Mary.”

“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 will 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…. Do not tell this to anybody.
Francisco, yes, you may tell him.
“When you pray the Rosary, say after each
mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the
fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially
those who are most in need.”
After this, there was a moment of silence, and then
I asked:
“Is there anything more that you want of me?”
“No, I do not want anything more of you today.”
Then, as before, Our Lady began to ascend
towards the East, until She finally disappeared in
the immense distance of the firmament.
As Our Lady spoke these last words, She
opened Her hands once more, as She had done
during the two previous months. The rays of
light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we
saw as it were a sea of fire. 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 huge
fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid
shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which
horrified us and made us tremble with fear. (It
must have been this sight which caused me to
cry out, as people say they heard me.) The
demons could be distinguished by their
terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful
and unknown animals, black and transparent
like burning coals. Terrified and as if to plead
for succour, we looked up at Our Lady, who
said to us, 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.
