So, What about the Third Secret of Fatima? In the document on the Fatima message, the Vatican Congregation noted: Sister Lucia had already given an indication for interpreting the third part of the "secret" in a letter to the Holy Father, dated 12 May 1982: The third part of the secret refers to Our Lady's words: "If not [Russia] 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'(13-VII-1917). "The third part of the secret is a symbolic revelation, referring to this part of the Message, conditioned by whether we accept or not what the Message itself asks of us: 'If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, …. Since we did not heed this appeal of the Message, we see that it has been fulfilled; Russia has invaded the world with her errors. "And if we have not yet seen the complete fulfillment of the final part of this prophecy, we are going towards it little by little with great strides. "If we do not reject the path of sin, hatred, revenge, injustice, violations of the rights of the human person, immorality and violence, …. And let us not say that it is God who is punishing us in this way; on the contrary it is people themselves who are preparing their own punishment. "In his kindness God warns us and calls us to the right path, while respecting the freedom he has given us; hence people are responsible. Let us pray that the ongoing Christian conversion which is occurring in Russia continue, in the Orthodox Christian Church, the Catholic Church and all Christian communities, Our Lady of Fatima Pray for us. Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sin, save us from the fires of hell, Lead all souls to heaven Especially those most in need of your Mercy [PRAYER] Beloved Father, through the life, death and resurrection of your only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, we have become your adopted sons and daughters. Through Baptism we are now members of His Body, the Church, which is Your family. Our Savior Jesus taught us that “whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.” We thank you that promise includes each one of us. As members of the family of Jesus we now turn to you in prayer, as OUR FATHER, ABBA. Before your Son and our Savior gave up the last drop of His Sacred blood - and breathed his last breath – to set us free from sin and death – He turned to His Beloved Mother at the foot of the Cross. And said ‘Woman, behold your son.’ Then he said to the disciple whom he loved with a special affection, John, and said, ‘Behold your mother’” (John 19: 26-27). Throughout the Church’s history and Tradition great theologians, mystics, popes and saints have all viewed John as representing each one of us. So the last gift Jesus gave to us - before giving Himself fully - was His Mother to be our Mother. The Mother of Jesus is the Mother of His Church – and our Mother. Father, in your loving plan of salvation, you promised through the prophets of Israel that a Virgin would conceive - and bear a Son - who would be called Immanuel, God with us (Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23) You taught us to hope for salvation. You fulfilled your promise. You gave us the complete fulfillment of that hope As the Apostle Paul taught, in the fullness of time you chose that woman, born under the law to redeem us - and make us your sons and daughters. (Gal. 4:4) Jesus Christ the Lord The humble Virgin whom you chose is Mary. Her “Yes” - her FIAT, brought heaven to earth and earth to Heaven. She responded to the message of your angel and all of human history was changed. She is now a part of that great cloud of witnesses gathered in your communion of love. And she prays, for each one of us, in the Body of Her Son, the Church. She participates in His ongoing redemptive mission, to bring all men and women to faith in Jesus Christ, holding a special place of honor and veneration. She is a Messenger of His Mercy, calling the whole world to turn away from sin and turn toward Jesus – to be converted, made holy by being made new in Him. In that ongoing role in your plan of salvation, she has appeared to some whose hearts are simple, childlike and open to the continued work of your Holy Spirit. In her appearance to the three children of Fatima, she warned of what would occur if men, women and Nations made the wrong choice refusing to repent, refusing to turn away from sin and turn toward Jesus Christ. But always with the goal of repentance and conversion. READ more about this Novena: http://www.catholic.org/prayers/novenas/novena.php?id=9
