The Message of Fatima
The story of Fatima begins in 1915 when three children, Lucia agedten, and her two cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, aged nine and
seven respectively, noticed a peculiar cloud in the sky. It appeared on
three different occasions, more than ordinarily white and perfectly
visible as a human form. It was a foretaste of what was to come.
Apparition of the Angel
1. In the Spring time of 1916 it came again, "a light whiter thansnow, revealing the form of a young man, he spoke: "Fear not, I am the
Angel of peace. Pray with me." Kneeling down, he bowed his head to
the ground and prayed, "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love
You. I beg pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope,
nor love you."
Having repeated these words, he rose and said: "Pray like this. The
Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of yoursupplications."
2. In mid-summer 1916 the Angel appeared again quite suddenly
saying: "What are you doing? Pray! Pray a great deal! The Hearts of
Jesus and Mary have designs of Mercy for you. Offer up Prayers and
Sacrifices to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and
offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended, and

this way. I am its Angel Guardian, the Angel of Portugal. Above all,
accept and bear with submission the sufferings sent you by our Lord."
3. In the autumn of 1916 the Angel appeared a third time, holding in
his hands a chalice surmounted by a Host, from which drops of blood
were falling into the chalice, leaaving the chalice and the Host
suspended in the air, he prostrated on the ground and repeated this
prayer three times: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I
adore you profoundly, I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul
and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of
the world in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by
which He is offended. By the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart,
through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary I beg theconversion of poor sinners."
Then rising, the Angel took the chalice and the Host. He gave the
Host to Lucia and the contents of the chalice to Jacinta and Francisco,
saying: "Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horridly
outraged by ungrateful men. Repair their crimes and console your
God."
Apparitions of Our LadyI. On May 13th 1917 Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta were playing in the
Cova da Iria, about a mile away from home, when suddenly they were

beautiful lady dressed in white, poised over a holm-oak young tree.
She was more brilliant than the sun, radiating a sparkling light. The
Lady spoke: "Do not be afraid. I will do you no harm. I am from heaven
and have come to ask you to come here for six months, on the
thirteenth day at the same hour, Later on will tell you what I want and
will return here a seventh time."
Lucia addressed the Lady: "Shall I go to heaven? "Yes, you will."
And Jacinta?" "She will go also." And Francisco?" "He will go there
too, but he most say many Rosaries first,"
Then Lucia asked; "Is Maria Das Neves in heaven?"
"Yes, she is."
'Amelia?""She will be in purgatory till the end of the world." (Amelia was
about nineteen when she died).
Our Lady asked the children: "do you wish to offer up to God all the
sufferings He desires to send you in reparation for the sins by which He
is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?"
When the children replied, "Yes we do", Our Lady said, "Then you
will have much to suffer, but the grace of God will comfort you."Finally, Our Lady instructed the children: "say the Rosary everyday
in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war"
2. June 13th, 1917, the three children had just finished saying the
Rosary with a group of people when Our Lady appeared at the same
spot again, and spoke with Lucia:" want you to say the Rosary everyday,
and to learn to read. Later I will tell you what else I want."
"I will take Jacinta and Francisco to heaven soon, but you mustremain here for some time longer. Jesus wishes to make use of you to
make me known and loved, he wants to establish in the world devotion
to my Immaculate Heart."
Lucia was sad at the thought of being left alone without her
cousins, but Our Lady said to her Do not be disheartened. My
Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to
God,"
3. July 13th. 1917 - Again there was a flash of light and Our Lady
appeared over the holm-oak young tree and spoke with Lucia."...
continue to say the Rosary everyday in honour of Our Lady in order to
obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, because only she can
obtain it."
"I want you to tell us who you are, and to perform a miracle so
that everyone will believe that you appeared to us," Lucia said.
"Continue to come here every month. In October I will tell you
who I am and what I want, and will perform a miracle so that many
may believe."
"Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say often, especially when
you make some sacrifice: "Oh Jesus this is for the love of You, for
the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committedagainst the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
Then the children were given a vision of hell in which they could see
demons and those who were damned. Our Lady said to them: "You
have seen helI where the souls of poor sinner go. In order to save them,
God wishes to establish in the world, devotion to my Immaculate
Heart. If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, there will be

terrible war will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI.
"When you see a night lit up by an unknown light, know that it is
the sign God gives you that He is about to punish the world for its
crimes by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and the
Holy Father. In order to prevent this, I shall come to ask the
consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion
of Reparation of First Saturdays.
"If my wishes are fulfilled, Russia will be converted and there will
be peace. If not Russia will spread her errors throughout the world,
promoting wars and persecution of the Church. The good will be
martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer and various nations
will be annihilated. But in the end,My Immaculate Heart will triumph.The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and it will be converted,
and a period of peace will be granted to the world ...
"When you recite the Rosary, after each mystery say: "Oh my Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to
heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy."th th
4. August 13 and 15 - On the morning of August 13 the three
children were kidnapped byt h e h o s t i l e G o v e r n m e n t
Administrator and were thus
prevented from being present
in the Cova da Iria to meet Our
Lady. In the meantime a crowd
of about 18,000 had assembled
there. At noon they heard anoise like thunder and saw a
flash of light followed by a filmy
cloud which came from the
east and settled on the little
holm-oak young tree, paused
for a few moments then rose
and disappeared.
O n A u g u s t 1 5 t h t h e
children returned home after
their kidnapping experience
and went out minding sheep at
a place called Vallinhos, a short
distance from home. Here Our
Lady appeared to them and
spoke with Lucia: "I want you to
continue going to the Cova da Iria on 13th, and to continue saying the
Rosary every day. In the last month I will perform a miracle so that all
will believe."
Then with a sad expression She said: "Pray, pray very much and
make sacrifices for sinner's, for many souls go to hell because they havenobody to pray and make sacrifice for them."
5. September 13th, 1917 - As before there was a flash of light and
Our Lady appeared on the holm-oak and spoke with Lucia; "Continue
to say the Rosary in order to obtain the end of the war. In October Our
Lord will come, and also Our Lady of Dolours and our Lady of Carmel.
Saint Joseph will appear with the Child Jesus to bless the world. God is

your sacrifices. In October I will perform a miracle so that all will
believe."
6. October 13th, 1917 - Each month from May to October people
arrived in ever increasing numbers to be present for the apparition of
Our Lady. On October 13th an estimated 70,000 were present in spite of
torrential rain which began early on the evening of the 12th. At twelve
O'clock Lucia announced that Our Lady was coming. There was a flash
of light and Our Lady appeared over the holm-oak, and spoke to Lucia:
"I want to tell you that I wish a chapel to be erected here in my honour,
for I am the Lady of the Rosary. Continue to say the Rosary everyday, the
war will soon end, and the soldiers will return to their homes. Do not
offend God our Lord any more, for He is already deeply offended."As Our Lady disappeared, the curtain of clouds covering the whole
sky split as if torn down the middle and rolled aside to leave the sun
shinning in a great expanse of sky. Although it was midday, the crowd
could stare at the sun without being blinded, for it shone like a silver
disc, very clear and bright but without the blazing dazzle of normal
midday sun.
To the right of the sun the three children saw a vision of the HolyFamily St. Joseph and the Holy Child made sign of the Cross three times
over the crowd. Lucia then saw Our Lady of Dolours with Our Lord
beside her. He made the sign of the Cross over the crowd. Finally Lucia
saw a vision of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the Infant Jesus on her
knee.
The whole crowd witnessed the miracle promised by Our Lady in
her earlier apparitions. As they gazed at the sun they saw it move. Itbegan to spin like a giant wheel, shooting out great beams of coloured
light. Suddenly it seemed to break away from the sky and moving in zig-
zag jumps, appeared to plunge down towards the crowd. The
phenomenon lasted about fifteen minutes and was witnessed not only
by the huge crowd gathered in the Cova da Iria, but also by many people
in the surrounding district up to thirty miles away.
The Message of the Immaculate Heart of MaryOn December 10, 1925 Our Lady with the Child Jesus appeared to
lucia at the Convent in Pontevedra where she was then a Dorothian
Sister. Our Lady rested one hand on Lucia's shoulder, while in other
hand she held a heart surrounded with sharp thorns. The Child Jesus
spoke: "Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother. It is coveredwith the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment,
and there is not one to remove them with an act of reparation." The Our
Lady said to Lucia: "My daughter, look at my heart surrounded with the
thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their
blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and say
that I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the grace necessary
for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive
months go to Confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five
decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour
while meditating on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to me."
Jesus explained to Lucia that confession could be made eight days
or even longer. provided they receive Me in the state of grace and have

at Tuy, to ask the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart,
promising by this means to prevent the spreading of its errors and to
bring about its conversion.
In 1943 Our Lord appeared to Lucia and complained bitterly and
sorrowfully that there are so small a number of souls who are willing to
renounce whatever the observances of His law requires of them saying:
"The sacrifice required of every person is the fulfillment of his duties in
life and the observance of My law. This is the penance I now seek and
require."
Why Five First Saturdays?
Our Lady asks for the First Saturday devotion in reparation for the
sins committed by those who:-1. Deny her Immaculate Conception ;
2. Deny her Virginity;
3. Deny her Divine Maternity ;
4. Disrespect her Statues and Images;
5. Down-grade devotion to her, especially among children.
The Message of Divine MercyOn February 22. 1931, as Sister Faustina, now Blessed Faustina,
relates the experience:
"I saw Jesus dressed in a white garment. He held one hand raised in
blessing and with the other, He was touching His garment at the breast.
From under the garment came two rays of light; one red, the other
pale."As she knelt motionless,
immersed in cross currents of joy
and fear, Our Lord spoke:
'Paint a picture according to
the vision you see with the
inscription, "Jesus I Trust in You." I
desire that this picture bevenerated first in your chapel and
then throughout the whole
world.'
This apparition repeated
itsel f so many t imes. Her
confessor advised her to ask for
an explanation of the red and
white rays. She did and she was
instructed:
"The rays on the picture
represent the blood and water
which gushed forth from the
depths of My Mercy when My
agonizing Heart was opened on
the Cross. The pale rays symbolize
the water, which justifies the
soul; the red rays represent the blood, which is the life of the soul.
These rays shield the soul before the wrath of My Father. Fortunate is he
who lives in their shelter, for the just hand of God will never reach him."

He then gave her a short prayer and told her to recite it often:
"0 Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a
fount of Mercy for us. I trust in You."
Sister Faustina looked deep into the Merciful heart of Christ, and
wrote in her diary:
"The Lord permitted me to see the immensity and greatness of His
Mercy. If only souls could realize how much God loves them! All
comparison, no matter how strong and touching, is only a pale shadow
of the reality."
Jesus confirmed her statement many times, and pleaded for the
return of sinners-great sinners. He told her:
"Write, the greater the misery the stronger the right to Mercy.Summon all souls to the confidence in the incomprehensible abyss of
My Mercy for I desire to save all. The well of Mercy was opened wide
with a lance on the Cross for souls. I do not exclude anyone."
Again and again Our Lord came to Sister Faustina and repeated His
invitation to sinners, assuring them of His open arms.
Know, My daughter, that My Heart is Mercy itself. From this sea of
mercy graces pour out upon the whole world. No soul that comes to medeparts without being comforted. All misery vanish in my Mercy, and
every grace, redemptive and sanctifying, stem from this source."
"Distrust of souls tears at My bosom. The lack of confidence in
chosen souls hurts Me most. Despite My inexhaustible love they do not
trust Me!"
Our Lord had a word too for our times. As hopes for peace fade,
floods rampage, strikes threaten and the whole world continue to beunsettled. His words to Sister Faustina take on a deeper meaning.
"Tell ailing mankind to draw close to My Merciful Heart and I will fill
it with peace... mankind will not find solace until it turns with
confidence to My Mercy."
In order to bring about this all-out conversion to the Mercy of God,
Our Saviour offered some aids to that end. Four were specifically
mention: the Picture, the Chaplet of Mercy, the Novena, the Feast.
The PictureAt the first apparition Our Lord instructed Sister Faustina to paint a
picture with the words: "JESUS I TRUST IN YOU." Our Lord desires the
picture to be venerated and attached a promise to it:
"I promise that the soul that will venerate this picture will notperish. I further promise to that soul victory over its enemies already
here on earth and especially in the hour of death. I Myself, shall defend
that soul as my own glory ..."
A most unusual aspect of the Mercy message is the promise of
physical protection; contained in the words:
I will preserve the cities and homes in which this picture shall be
found." The promise was miraculously manifested during the second
world war in the manner in which Cracow and Vilno were spared from
destruction when Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. Warsaw and
practically every other major Polish city was either destroyed or badly
damaged except for Cracow and Vilno which happened then to be the
only two cities where official ecclesiastical approval was granted for
spread of the message and display of the picture for public veneration.

The Chaplet of MercyOn September 13, 1935, Sister Faustina saw an Angel, depicted to
her as the executor of God's wrath, In his hands were lightning bolts of
thunder. She understood the Angel was about to visit a certain place on
earth and mete out punishment on its inhabitants. Our Divine Saviour,had made Sister Faustina's heart after His own merciful one, and she
was sorrowful and begged the angel for mercy. But somehow she
realized that her poor prayers were without power to appease the
wrath of God. Then suddenly the Holy Trinity was manifested and at the
same time she heard these words:
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of
your most beloved Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of oursins and the sins of the whole world. Through His most sorrowful
passion have mercy on us and on the whole world,"
Wonder of wonders, as she repeated the words over and over the
Angel was powerless to mete out the punishment. The next day While
going into the chapel she heard once again:
As many time as you enter the chapel, immediately recite the
prayer I taught you yesterday."
She recited it at once and the voice spoke again:
"This prayer is given to appease the wrath of God. You will recite it
for nine days on the part of the Rosary (Five decades) in the following
manner."
The following day an inner voice taught her to say this prayer on
ordinary rosary beads.
The NovenaOur Blessed Lord also gave Sister Faustina a Novena to His Mercy.
He said: "I desire the confidence of My creatures. Let not even the weak
and sinful fear to approach Me; even though their sins be numerous as
the sand of the earth all will vanish in the fathomless pit of My Mercy."
She received definite instructions on how to make this Novena:
"During these nine days I want you to lead souls to the fount of
My Mercy, in order that they may draw from it strength, refreshment
and all the graces they need in the trials of their lives, equally in the
hour of death. Each day you will lead a group of different souls and
immerse them in the sea of My Mercy. Each day you will beseech the
Father through my bitter passion for grace for these souls."
The Feast of Mercy
The Novena can he made at any time, but our Lord wishes it be
made beginning Good Friday in preparation for the Feast He was to tell
her about: the Feast of His Mercy, which should be celebrated on the
first Sunday of Easter. Our Lord said;
"My daughter, speak to the world of My inexhaustible Mercy. I
desire that the Feast be a refuge and a shelter for all souls, especially forpoor sinners, The very depths of My Mercy will be opened on that day, I
will pour out a sea of graces upon those souls that will approach the
fount of My Mercy. The souls that will go to confession and communion
(on that day) will obtain a complete remission of sin and punishment.
Let no soul fear to come to Me, even if its sins be as scarlet. This
Feast emerged from the bosom of My Mercy and is founded in the

My Mercies. I desire that it be celebrated with great solemnity on
the first Sunday of Easter."
Our Blessed Lord warns:
"Write: before I come as the just One. I first open wide the gate of
My mercy. He who does not want to pass through the gates of Mercy
will have to pass through the gates of justice.
Our Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Faustina too. On the Feast
of the Annunciation in 1936. Mary said to her:
"I gave the world a saviour. You must proclaim His Mercy to it and
prepare it for His Second Coming. He will then come not as a Merciful
Saviour, but as a just judge. It will be a day of horror; resolved to be the
day of justice, the day of the wrath of God. Angels tremble before it ...Speak to souls of His great Mercy while there is still time. If you remain
silent now you will have to account for a great number of souls on that
final day. Fear nothing. Be faithful to the end.
The Message of the Sacred Heart
The sacred Heart of Jesus and its unbounded love for man was
known in the Church long before St Margaret Mary. But only a few
of the faithful were devoted to it or honoured it. Its worldwide
devotion was destined for a later period in the world's history,
when men's hearts were growing cold and indifferent and Our Lord
received insults in return for His love; when the terrible heresy of
Jansenism which set limits on God's love and Mercy was gaining
ground like cancer in France.On the feast day of St John. in the little dark convent chapel
standing to this day, Margaret was wholly overcome by the Divine
presence. She relates "He made me rest for a long time upon His
Sacred Breast, where He revealed to me the marvels of His love and
the unexplainable secrets of His Sacred heart ..." He said, My Divine
Heart is so inflamed with love for men, and for thee in particular,
that being unable any longer to contain within itself the flame of its
burning Charity, it must spread them abroad by thy means ..."
In another vision, Christ's Heart was exposed to her on a throne
of fire and flame, casting rays on every side brighter than the sun
and as clear as crystal. He told her that the limitless love which He
had for men had been the source of all His sufferings. It was the
great desire He had to be perfectly loved by men which had madeHim form the design of revealing to them His Heart and of giving
them, in these latter times, this last proof of His love and proposing
to them an object to engage them to love Him. "He assured me that
we must honour the Heart of God under the figure of His flesh, a
picture of which he wishes to be exposed in order to touch the hard
hearts of men ... And wherever this picture should be exposed to besingularly honoured, it would draw every sort of blessing"
In yet another vision on a first Friday on an unnamed month,
she relates, "He revealed to me the unspeakable wonders of His
pure love and showed to me how intensely He had loved men, from
who he received in return only ingratitude and slights." He said,
"Do you at least comfort Me as far as you are able." When she

could do this. He ordered her to receive Holy Communion as
often as obedience permitted. He especially commanded her to
receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of every month. He
added, "Every night between Thursday and Friday, I will make you
share in the overpowering sadness which I felt in the garden ofolives."
She was to rise between 11 o'clock and midnight and remain
prostrate on the ground with Him for an hour to lessen or reduce in
some way the bitterness which He felt at finding Himself deserted
by His apostles at that time.
A great vision occurred during the octave Corpus Christi in June
1675. Margaret kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament exposed,
heard these words, "Behold this Heart which has so loved men, that
it spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself in order
to prove its love for them." Our Lord then demanded that the First
Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi be a feast day set aside to
honour His Heart; the faithful were to go to communion and make a
solemn act of reparation to His Sacred heart. He said, "I promisethee that My Heart shall open to wield abundantly the sway of its
Divine love upon those who shall thus honour it and cause it to be
so honoured."
Promises of the Sacred Heart ofJesus
Below are summarized the twelve most important promises
made by Our Lord to St Margaret Mary to those who shall honourHis Heart.
1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of
life.
2. I will bring peace into their families.
3. I will comfort them in all their trials and hardships.
4. I will be their secure refuge during life and above all in
death.
5. I will pour special blessings upon all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and Infinite
Ocean of mercy.
7. Lukewarm souls shall become devoted souls.
8. Devoted souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
9. I will bless every dwelling where a picture of My Heartshall be exposed and honoured.
10. I will give to priests the gift of converting the most
hardened souls.
11. Those persons who spread this devotion shall have their
names written in My Heart never to be erased or wiped
away.
12. I promise thee, in the limitless mercy of My heart, that its
all powerful love will grant to all those who go to
communion on the First Friday of every month for nine
continuous months, the final grace of repentance; they
shall not perish or die in its disfavour or without receiving
the Sacraments. My Divine heart will be their assured

The Message of the Miraculous MedalIn July of 1830, Our Lady appeared to Sister Laboure, now Saint
Catherine Laboure and gave her the message of herMiraculous
Medal. On 18th, July She said. "My child you too will know sadness,
but in the time of trial, come here before the altar and pour out allyour troubles. Then you will receive every
consolation.
"My child, the good
God wishes to charge
you with a mission. You
will have much to
suffer, but you will bear
it all with the thought
that you are doing it for
His glory. You will
understand what the
good God desires, and
it will trouble you only until you make it known to him who is todirect you. You will be contradicted, but you will also have the
graces you need. Do not doubt. Speak with confidence and
simplicity. Fear not,"
Late afternoon, Saturday, November 27, while she was at
meditation with other religious at the chapel, Our Lady revealed
the mission to her. Our Lady appeared to her standing next to apicture of St. Joseph, and upon what seemed to be a shinning
globe. Her simple, flowing dress resembled the colour of the sky at
dawn, a radiant white, shot through with shimmering gold. A white
veil covered her head, falling gracefully to bare feet and in her
hands she held a small golden ball surmounted with a cross, which
she pressed lovingly to her heart.
Sister Laboure gazed in ecstasy at the marvelous sight, quiteheedless of the other sisters around her. Then suddenly she
noticed that the Virgin's fingers were glistening with numerous
brilliant rings. The stones in these rings sent forth such dazzling
rays that one could hardly bear to look upon them. Indeed they
enveloped the Blessed Virgin in so much splendor that neither her
feet nor her robe could be seen. And yet some of the preciousstones were not sending forth any rays.
"The globe which you see represents the world, especially
France, and every one in it. The rays are the symbol of the grace I
shed on those who ask me for them." then after a pause She said:
"The stones which send forth no light represent the graces which
people forget to ask me."
Suddenly the golden ball which the Blessed Virgin was holding
vanished. She lowered her hands, and the brilliant rays shone forth
with even greater splendor. A moment later an oval frame
appeared about her, with an inscription in golden letters: '0 Mary
conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.'
Then to Sister Laboure's astonishment, a heavenly voice spoke
for those who wear it with confidence."

Ijebu-Oru, Ijebu-Ode diocese (Dec 1997)
This is a reprint; the first print was by the
Franciscans of the Immaculat e
within the depths of her own heart: "Have a medal made after
this model," It said. AII who wear it after it has been blessed will
receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck.
Graces will abound for those who wear it with confidence."
Presently the vision seemed to turn around, revealing a letter Msurmounted by a cross and a bar. Beneath the M were the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary; the first crowned with-thorns, the other pierced by
a sword, and the whole encircled by twelve stars.
Sister Laboure explained to her Mother Superior at one time
that the rays of glory proceeding from her outstretched hands, was
to make people to understand that in God's plan, all grace and
blessings are distributed through the Most Holy Mary.
The Message of the Brown ScapularThe Blessed Virgin gave this
promise to Saint Simon Stock
on July 16th in the year 1251:
"Whosoever dies clothed in
this (Scapular) shall not suffer
eternal fire."
Also to Saint Dominic She
gave the message:
"One day through the
Rosary and the Scapular I willsave the world."
St. Alphonsus says: "Just as men take pride in having others
wear their livery, so the Most Holy Mary is pleased when her
servants wear her Scapular as a mark that they have dedicated
themselves to her service, and are members of the true Family of
the Mother of God."The Lamb of God who takest away the sin of the world is
