The vital importance of the 1st Saturdays of Fatima for our times
Lhe devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, associated with that of the Sacred Heart, was brought to us by God as THE WAY to face the evils of modern times and to help us overcome them. put an end to it. Sister Lucia explained on June 20, 1939:
"Our Lady has promised to delay the scourge of war if this devotion is spread and practiced. We see that She will obtain the remission of this chastisement to the extent of the efforts made to propagate this devotion, but I fear that it will not be possible to do more than we are doing at present and that God, displeased, will withdraw the arm of His Mercy and let the world be ravaged by this chastisement which will be different from any other of the past. "
A CONCERNING global situation
Nous percevons tous une aggravation de la situation. Le sentiment d’imminence d’un effondrement général se fait sentir dans de multiples domaines, santé, sécurité, économie, etc. Mais surtout le risque de guerre se fait sentir de plus en plus. Il est urgent d’agir pour la paix avec les moyens spirituels qui nous ont été donnés.
Only the means willed by God HIMSELF can save the world.
On December 26, 1957, Sister Lucia explained why Our Lady's requests at Fatima were the fundamental means to save the world and how heavy is the responsibility of all those who, knowinglyrefuse to do so:
"She said (the Blessed Virgin NDLR), both to myself and to my cousins, that God was giving the last two remedies in the world the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, these being the last two remediationses this means that there won't be another."
"Always in the plans of providence, when God is going to chastise the world, he exhausts all other remedies first. Now, as he has seen that the Monde made no mention of the Sacred Heart, so, as we would say in our imperfect way of speaking, he offers us with a certain fear the Sacred Heart. last means of salvationhis Blessed Mother. For if we despise and reject this ultimate means , WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE FORGIVENESS OF HEAVEN BECAUSE WE HAVE COMMITTED A SIN AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH CONSISTS IN OPENLY REJECTING WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE AND WILL THE SALVATION OFFERED TO US."
And Benedict XVI recalled on May 13, 2010:
" Anyone who thinks that Fatima's prophetic mission is over would be mistaken...".
Proof of the effectiveness of this god-given devotion
Numerous examples of miracles obtained by the Immaculate Heart of Mary show that this way of working is exceptionally powerful.
- In Hiroshima, a small religious congregation dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and having built a chapel dedicated to Fatima was 800 m from the bomb when it exploded. While everyone else at that distance died instantly or from radiation, the members of this congregation were spared and lived to the age of 85 with no health problems.
- During the D-Day landings, 3 villages in Normandy at the heart of the operation had dedicated themselves a few days before to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Not a single inhabitant of these villages was killed, nor was there any destruction, despite the fact that everything in the surrounding area was razed to the ground.
- Before the 2nd World War, Portugal was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by its bishops. The country was totally untouched by the conflict.
It is therefore urgent to carry out with obedience and humility on the 1st Saturday of the month
