Transcript
00:00:00.000
She made clear that devotion to her Immaculate Heart is both a refuge and the way that leads to God.
00:00:13.580
During the apparition of August 19th, which was postponed due to the imprisonment of the shepherd children,
00:00:20.960
the Virgin confirmed her instruction regarding the need of praying the rosary
00:00:25.460
and offering many sacrifices for the salvation of souls.
00:00:30.000
She also promised that during the last apparition, I quote,
00:00:35.140
I will perform a miracle so that all may believe.
00:00:40.000
On September 13th, Our Lady once again confirmed the children in the practice of praying the rosary
00:00:45.540
and offering sacrifices for the salvation of souls and peace in the world.
00:00:53.340
She declared, in October, our Lord will come, as well as Our Lady of Sorrows and Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
00:00:59.540
St. Joseph will appear with the child Jesus to bless the world.
00:01:04.120
Faithful to Our Lady's promise, on October 13th, after asking that a chapel be built to her honor as Our Lady of the Rosary
00:01:14.600
and urging the daily praying of the rosary and repentance and reparation for sins,
00:01:20.500
God provided the miracle of the Son to confirm faith in the message which Our Lady brought to the world at Fatima.
00:01:30.100
Time does not permit a fuller meditation on these other apparitions.
00:01:34.480
I now return to the third part of the secret or message of Fatima.
00:01:40.060
Without entering into a discussion regarding whether the third part of the secret has been fully revealed,
00:01:45.860
it seems clear from the most respected studies of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima
00:01:51.100
that it has to do with the diabolical forces unleashed upon the world in our time
00:02:01.100
which leads souls away from the truth of the faith and therefore from the divine love
00:02:06.380
flowing from the glorious pierced heart of Jesus.
00:02:10.240
Frère Michel de la Saint-Trinité, in his monumental study of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima,
00:02:16.620
writes the following regarding the third part of the secret or what is often called the third secret.
00:02:22.720
Take a look at this. This is Cardinal Burke talking in 2017 about demonic forces entering the Church
00:02:31.120
at that time in 2017. Hard to believe that's so long ago.
00:02:34.640
This was given at Rome Life Forum, a conference that LifeSite has been running since 2014, actually.
00:02:40.860
Do you know that we're running another one this year, October 31st of November 1st?
00:02:45.780
That is right at the end of this horrific synod on synodality.
00:02:51.380
October 31st, November 1st, 2023. Come join us in Rome.
00:03:00.180
Watch Cardinal Burke give this snippet on demonic forces entering into the Vatican
00:03:09.140
In short, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary undoubtedly refers much more to the third secret
00:03:18.360
than even the second. For the recovery of peace will be a gift from heaven.
00:03:25.220
But it is not properly speaking the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
00:03:30.340
Her victory is of another order, supernatural, and then temporal by addition.
00:03:44.580
and the great shortcomings of the Church's pastors.
00:03:53.440
associated with man's disobedient rebellion before God,
00:03:57.760
infinitely more horrible are the spiritual chastisements
00:04:01.840
for they have to do with the fruit of grievous sin, eternal death.
00:04:10.720
which places man in the relationship of unity of heart
00:04:14.000
with the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the mediation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
00:04:22.260
which rebellion against God necessarily brings upon its perpetrators
00:04:27.740
and upon the whole of both society and the Church.
00:04:37.420
is the heart of the office of the Church's pastors,
00:04:43.120
the bishops in communion with the See of Peter,
00:04:48.400
For that reason, the third secret is directed with particular force
00:04:53.700
to those who exercise the pastoral office in the Church.
00:05:00.800
in fidelity to the Church's constant teaching and practice,
00:05:05.420
whether through a superficial, confused, or even worldly approach,
00:05:11.280
endangers mortally in the deepest spiritual sense
00:05:15.640
the very souls for whom they have been consecrated to care spiritually.
00:05:22.460
The poisonous fruit of the failure of the Church's pastors
00:05:49.260
in his homily for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul
00:06:00.900
upon the close of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
00:06:52.420
observing that after the Second Vatican Council,
00:30:50.260
bring Our Lady's message of trust in the victory of
00:30:53.480
her Immaculate Heart, which is indeed the victory of the
00:30:58.780
The world looks to Portugal for the sign of the
00:31:02.640
faith, which alone brings about the victory of the
00:31:12.500
In conclusion, let us not give way to discouragement
00:31:16.180
before the tumultuous situation in which the world and
00:31:24.140
Rather, let us heed once again the maternal direction of the
00:31:29.620
Virgin of Fatima for a new evangelization of the church and
00:31:36.520
Let us be invested with the scapular of Our Lady of Mount
00:31:39.940
Carmel and pray daily the Holy Rosary for the conversion of
00:31:46.720
Let us center all of our labors upon participation in the
00:31:50.600
sacrifice of the Mass, the act of thanksgiving after each Holy
00:31:54.660
Mass and throughout the day, Eucharistic adoration and the
00:31:59.000
daily praying of the Holy Rosary by which our Lord, through the
00:32:02.620
intercession of Our Lady, transforms our lives and our world.
00:32:08.160
Let us make reparation for the many and grievous offenses against
00:32:12.160
the immeasurable and unceasing love of God for us by practicing the
00:32:16.640
devotion of the first Saturdays and by embracing suffering and
00:32:20.980
sacrifice for the love of all our brothers and sisters, especially
00:32:28.520
Let us consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and work
00:32:33.440
for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
00:32:37.320
Certainly, Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the world, including
00:32:43.120
Russia, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25, 1984.
00:32:48.360
But today, once again, we hear the call of Our Lady of Fatima to
00:32:52.900
consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart in accord with her explicit
00:33:00.200
The requested consecration is at once a recognition of the importance which
00:33:06.400
Russia continues to have in God's plan for peace and a sign of profound love
00:33:17.760
May the Mother of God and Mother of Divine Grace lead many souls to unite
00:33:23.760
their hearts to her Immaculate Heart in the total consecration of their
00:33:30.820
As the Mother of God teaches us, there is no sure way to grow daily in the
00:33:35.480
spiritual life and thus to become rivers of living water for a world which
00:33:41.240
thirsts so much for the truth and love which are only found in the Sacred Heart
00:33:47.480
So may the truth and love of Christ animate our homes and make them a light of hope
00:33:53.040
for all who struggle against the forces of materialism and relativism.
00:33:59.180
The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph over any darkness in our hearts.
00:34:05.440
Through her triumph in our hearts and in the hearts of many, through the triumph of
00:34:10.900
the faith, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will also triumph over the great darkness of our
00:34:17.120
time by leading souls to the truth and love of her Divine Son, by leading souls to give
00:34:24.040
their hearts with hers completely into the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
00:34:30.500
She will continue to speak to our hearts as she spoke to the hearts of the wine stewards
