10 messages from the Virgin of Fatima to the world
As you are going to read, these were the messages that the shepherd children heard from Maria herself in her home:
1″ They want to offer God to endure all the sufferings that He would like to send them as reparation for the sins with which He is offended and as a supplication for the conversion of sinners ”
(May 13, 1917)
2″When you pray the rosary, say after each mystery: forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy.”
(June 13, 1917)
3″I will never leave you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the path that will lead you to God”
(June 13, 1917)
4″Jesus wants to make use of you to make me known. He wants to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world. To whom I will embrace I promise salvation and their souls will be loved by God like flowers placed by me to adorn his Throne”
(June 13, 1917)
5 “When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God will give you that he is going to punish the world for its crimes through war, hunger, persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father. “To prevent this, I will come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the reparative communion of the first Saturdays. If they comply with my wishes, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, it will spread its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecutions: the good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have to suffer a lot; several nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph”
(July 13, 1917)
6 “Make sacrifices for sinners and say many times, and especially when you make a sacrifice: Oh, Jesus, it is for your love, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary!”
(July 13, 1917)
7 “They have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wants to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world. If they do what I tell them, many souls will be saved and they will have peace. The war will end, but if they do not stop offending God in the reign of Pius XI, a worse one will begin.”
(July 13, 1917)
8 “Pray, and make sacrifices for sinners. There are many souls that go to hell because there is no one who sacrifices and prays for them”
(August 19, 1917)
9 “Continue praying the holy rosary to achieve the end of the war. In October our Lord will also come, Our Lady of Sorrows and Mount Carmel, Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus to bless the world”
(September 13, 1917)
10 “I want to tell you that they build a chapel here in honor of me, that I am the Lady of the Rosary, that they continue to pray the Rosary every day. Do not offend Our Lord any more, he is already very offended!”
(October 13, 1917)
The messages of the Virgin of Fatima are a clear call, to understanding, to fellowship, to the responsibility of our own acts and to accept the consequences of such. Therefore, when you pray, be thankful for everything you have, for the people who accompany you and ask for a guide to remedy all the mistakes you have made and want to make up for.
