00:00:00.760 Welcome to this episode of the John Henry Weston Show, and in this episode I'll be telling
00:00:05.420 you about the sign that has caused me to wonder if we have not actually entered the time of
00:00:11.060 the chastisement predicted by Our Lady of Fatima in 1917.
00:00:15.620 We'll also look at a parallel our Lord Himself made between the Popes and King of France,
00:00:21.720 which makes me hopeful that we will see the triumph of the Immaculate Heart in the not
00:00:27.260 too distant future.
00:00:28.160 Stay tuned.
00:00:30.000 Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross.
00:00:49.900 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:00:54.260 Amen.
00:00:54.560 We just passed the 103rd anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13th.
00:01:03.380 The Mother of God appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, to warn them
00:01:07.940 and all mankind of the coming chastisement unless the world turned from its wicked ways back to Christ. 0.56
00:01:14.700 The October 13th, 1917, Fatima Miracle of the Dance of the Sun was witnessed by 70,000 people with coverage in all the secular papers of the time.
00:01:27.660 It was the most spectacular public miracle of all time.
00:01:31.940 And what was Heaven trying to communicate with this stupendous event?
00:01:36.200 Well, specifically, Our Lady warned of coming grave offenses in terms of impurity, which leads more people to hell, she said, than any other sin.
00:01:47.140 She asked for prayer of the rosary, consecration to her immaculate heart as remedies to the outrages caused against the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary.
00:01:58.900 She also said she would come back to ask for the consecration of Russia by the Pope and all the world's bishops.
00:02:06.120 Our Lady warned specifically that if Russia was not consecrated, there would be, and I quote, 0.97
00:02:13.000 wars and persecutions against the Church.
00:02:15.320 The good will be martyred.
00:02:16.900 The Holy Father will have much to suffer.
00:02:19.080 Various nations will be annihilated, end quote.
00:02:23.480 Our Lady predicted the Second World War, and it happened. 0.86
00:02:27.820 She predicted, and I quote,
00:02:29.640 fashions will be introduced that will offend our Lord very much.
00:02:32.800 Woe to women lacking in modesty, she said. 0.55
00:02:35.020 And it happened like never before in the history of the world.
00:02:40.300 She predicted wars, and there have been more wars in the last 30 years than ever before.
00:02:46.280 We have not yet seen whole nations annihilated, as she predicted.
00:02:52.500 But she added, quote,
00:02:54.260 In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
00:02:57.060 She said,
00:02:57.800 The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, which will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.
00:03:05.020 And we await that peace eagerly, both in the world and in the Church.
00:03:10.020 When we fulfill Our Lady's requests for communion of reparation on the first Saturdays,
00:03:16.440 and the Holy Father responds to the explicit request of Our Lady at Fatima,
00:03:20.980 as Cardinal Burke spoke of last week at the Rome Life Forum,
00:03:24.380 to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart in the way she explicitly asked for. 0.69
00:03:32.000 We will see the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
00:03:35.140 That is, we will see a glorious, never-before-seen peace on Earth.
00:03:40.820 A time of great rejoicing and faithfulness is coming,
00:03:44.820 and I'd guess is around the corner.
00:03:47.080 There is immense hope in this truth, in this promise,
00:03:51.840 and I don't think we have long to wait.
00:03:55.100 Heaven seems to have offered a bit of a timeline on these things,
00:03:58.920 which is recorded in the writings of Sister Lucia dos Santos,
00:04:02.300 the only one of the three Fatima seers who lived to adulthood.
00:04:06.080 It was to Lucia that Our Lady appeared again in 1929,
00:04:12.560 June 13th, 1929 to be exact.
00:04:16.380 She then requested that the Pope, in union with the world's bishops,
00:04:20.520 consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. 0.99
00:04:23.180 The only problem was that it never happened,
00:04:26.320 and Heaven showed its frustration.
00:04:29.540 Our Lord Himself appeared to Sister Lucia in a vision in 1931,
00:04:33.900 expressing dismay that the Pope would not carry out the consecration of Russia
00:04:39.280 as requested by Our Lady in 1929.
00:04:43.400 Like the King of France, he said to Lucia,
00:04:46.780 they will repent of it, and they will do it, but it will be late.
00:04:51.460 He continued, this is our Lord to Sister Lucia in 1931.
00:04:55.600 Russia will already have spread its errors in the world. 0.99
00:04:59.920 He added, make it known to my ministers,
00:05:02.820 seeing that they follow in the example of the King of France
00:05:06.420 in delaying the execution of my demand,
00:05:09.020 they will also have to follow him into misfortune.
00:05:13.400 Now, that warning has implications for us in our days,
00:05:18.040 and perhaps a bit of a timeline too.
00:05:20.460 The mention of the King of France by Our Lord
00:05:22.520 refers to the request He made of St. Margaret Mary a la Coke.
00:05:26.640 On June 13th, 1689, Jesus asked her to have the King of France
00:05:32.980 consecrate France to his sacred heart. 0.75
00:05:36.680 But for 100 years, the kings of France failed to make that consecration.
00:05:43.000 And on June 13th, 1789, 100 years to the day of their request,
00:05:50.020 the King of France was stripped of his legislative authority
00:05:53.060 and four years later executed.
00:05:56.340 So, our Lord's warning to Sister Lucia
00:05:59.580 that the Pope and the bishops are following in the example of the King of France
00:06:03.940 in refusing to do the consecration,
00:06:06.320 and that they'd follow likewise in misfortune,
00:06:09.060 is very significant indeed.
00:06:11.660 Perhaps significant also in terms of the 100 years to the day timeline.
00:06:17.140 When are the 100 years up for the request of Our Lady of Fatima to consecrate Russia?
00:06:25.280 Well, remember, in 1917, Our Lady said she would return to ask for the consecration,
00:06:31.280 and then appeared again to say it was time to do it on June 13th, 1929.
00:06:39.200 And we're less than a decade from the centenary of Our Lady's request for the consecration of Russia,
00:06:45.780 which would be June 13th, 2029.
00:06:50.160 So, let's play our part in hastening the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
00:06:54.620 Let us pray the rosary, wear the scapular, make the first Saturday's devotion,
00:06:59.880 and request the not-yet-done explicit consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart,
00:07:05.440 as Cardinal Burke called for last week at Rome Life Forum.
00:07:09.320 Let's pray that it may come before June 13th, 2029.
00:07:14.400 Are there signs today that suggest that we may have entered the Fatima-prophesied chastisement?
00:07:23.300 Well, not only has Russia spread her errors all over the world, 0.92
00:07:27.640 but for the first time in history,
00:07:30.360 the greater part of Catholic humanity
00:07:32.780 has been deprived of the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
00:07:36.880 We will never be able to comprehend the gravity of this fully.
00:07:43.520 In order to appreciate it just a little bit,
00:07:46.500 listen to the words of St. Alphonsus Liguori in his Discourses on the Mass in Office.
00:07:51.260 He wrote, and I quote,
00:07:52.000 A single Mass gives more honor to God than can ever be given to Him
00:07:58.460 by all the prayers and austerities of the saints,
00:08:01.580 all the labors and fatigues of the apostles,
00:08:04.420 all the torments of the martyrs,
00:08:06.540 and all the adoration of the seraphim and the Mother of God.
00:08:11.960 End quote.
00:08:13.640 Wow.
00:08:14.160 Yet for the last few months,
00:08:17.220 this, the greatest treasure on earth,
00:08:20.180 the very pearl of great price has been taken from us.
00:08:23.700 It's a loss beyond our comprehension.
00:08:28.200 And as this deprivation continues,
00:08:31.660 it brings to mind the apocalyptic warnings of Christ Himself,
00:08:35.140 which we read of in the Gospel of Matthew.
00:08:38.060 He said, and I quote,
00:08:38.940 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation,
00:08:42.220 which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
00:08:44.680 standing in the holy place.
00:08:46.280 He that reads, let him understand.
00:08:48.520 And then they that are in Judea,
00:08:50.400 let them flee to the mountains.
00:08:53.500 The verse from Daniel,
00:08:55.860 which our Lord references,
00:08:57.480 is this, Daniel 12, 11.
00:08:59.900 And I'll quote it.
00:09:01.020 And from the time when the continual sacrifice
00:09:03.520 shall be taken away,
00:09:05.840 and the abomination of desolation
00:09:07.000 desolation shall be set up in the holy place,
00:09:09.580 there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
00:09:13.740 End quote.
00:09:15.520 In a conversation with some of my closest friends,
00:09:18.300 I mentioned that the removal of the mass
00:09:20.700 from nearly all the faithful throughout the earth
00:09:23.140 seems like a fulfillment of that prophecy.
00:09:27.360 And I'm praying, of course,
00:09:28.940 that it will not last as long as predicted,
00:09:30.980 a thousand two hundred ninety days,
00:09:32.540 or about three and a half years.
00:09:34.440 But it was pointed out to me by my friends that,
00:09:36.560 you know, the holy sacrifice has not,
00:09:38.760 in fact, ceased.
00:09:39.580 Of course, priests continue to offer the mass privately.
00:09:43.500 Nevertheless, it seemed to me that
00:09:45.300 even in the worst times to come,
00:09:48.200 should masses all be banned under pain of death, 1.00
00:09:50.980 let's say,
00:09:51.880 there will still always be faithful priests
00:09:54.200 who will secretly offer the holy sacrifice of the mass.
00:09:57.460 They'll be happy even to risk their lives to do that.
00:10:00.040 This notion,
00:10:02.780 this thought, if you will,
00:10:04.220 was bolstered by the interpretation of St. Robert Bellarmine
00:10:07.260 in his famous work on the Roman pontiff.
00:10:10.540 St. Robert Bellarmine,
00:10:11.620 one of the greatest doctors of the church,
00:10:13.580 he interprets this passage from the book of Daniel we spoke of
00:10:16.940 as saying that all public ceremonies
00:10:20.560 and sacrifices of religion will cease.
00:10:22.660 There are, of course,
00:10:26.180 all sorts of other explanations.
00:10:29.720 But I wonder if these signs indicate
00:10:32.120 that the chastisement predicted at Fatima has begun.
00:10:36.400 I'd guess things will get much worse before they get better.
00:10:39.700 But the good news is that the Fatima chastisement, 1.00
00:10:42.600 whenever it happens,
00:10:43.940 is the prelude to the most glorious time of peace
00:10:47.020 and conversion that will ever be granted the world.
00:10:49.820 Thirty years ago now,
00:10:52.400 Pope Benedict XVI hoped and prayed
00:10:55.000 for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
00:10:57.540 It was on May 13, 2010,
00:11:00.820 in a homily.
00:11:02.100 He hoped it would occur,
00:11:03.680 that is, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart would occur
00:11:05.680 by the centenary of the first apparition of Fatima,
00:11:09.340 May 13, 2017.
00:11:12.120 So in 2010, Pope Benedict said,
00:11:15.580 the apparitions hastened the fulfillment
00:11:18.560 of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart
00:11:21.880 to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.
00:11:26.120 Well, let us, too, be hopeful in this same way
00:11:29.980 and pray that we will see the triumph of the Immaculate Heart
00:11:33.020 within this decade
00:11:34.100 that corresponds to the message
00:11:36.480 our Lord gave to Sister Lucia
00:11:38.540 comparing the King of France to the Pope.
00:11:42.120 May the nine years,
00:11:43.860 which separate us from the centenary
00:11:45.920 of Our Lady's request for the consecration of Russia,
00:11:49.160 hasten the fulfillment
00:11:50.240 of the prophecy of the triumph
00:11:52.180 of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
00:11:53.760 to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.
