Our Lady of Fatima


Third Fatima Secret to be Published
June 26

The 40-page document contains a reproduction of the manuscript written by Lucia dos Santos, one of the three children to whom the Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima in 1917. Lucia-- the sole survivor among the Fatima seers, who is now a Carmelite nun living in Coimbra, Portugal-- wrote down the message in 1944.
The document that will be published on June 26 will include the complete message of Fatima, with a presentation of the historical context prepared under the direction of Archbishop Bertone. Cardinal Ratzinger has also prepared a 12-page commentary.

A Summary

On May 13th, 1917 three children were playing games in the field while tending their sheep. Suddenly they saw a flash of light. Thinking  it to be lightning, the children gathered the sheep and started for home. They took refuge under a tree about a hundred yards away. They saw a flash of light again. They began running when they saw, standing over a small holmoak tree, a Lady dressed in white more brilliant than the sun.
That was the beginning of  Our Blessed Mother at Fatima.  She visited the children six times bringing them messages for the world.  In all Her appearances at Fatima, Our Mother repeatedly emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and of performing acts of reparation and sacrifice.

Our Lady's Message to the world is contained in what has come to be 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 horrifying vision of hell "where the souls of poor sinners go" and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls. The second part of the Secret  told of the outbreak of World War II and asked for the Consecration of Russia as a condition of world peace. It also predicted the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart following Russia's consecration and conversion.
The last part of the Secret (often called the "Third Secret") has not yet been made public, but Lucia  wrote it down in 1944 and is in the possession of the Pope.

On December 10, 1925, Our Lady appeared with the Child Jesus to Lucia and said:
"Look, My daughter, at My Heart, encircled with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it at every instant with their blasphemy and ingratitude. You at least try to console Me with the practice of the First Saturdays."
The Catholic Church has officially endorsed the Fatima Message as worthy of belief since 1930.  Pope John Paul II has publicly credited Our Lady of Fatima for saving his life during the assassination attempt in 1981. The following year, he went to Fatima to give thanks for Her intervention.
