The John-Henry Westen Show - What the pope's Consecration of Russia will mean for the world

00:00:00.000 There is huge breaking news out of the Vatican today on Friday, March 25th, during the celebration

00:00:05.700 of penance at which the Pope will be presiding at 5 p.m. in St. Peter's Basilica, that's

00:00:10.920 5 p.m. Rome time, Pope Francis has said he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the

00:00:15.940 Immaculate Heart of Mary.

00:00:17.140 The same act on the same day will be carried out in Fatima by his eminence, Cardinal Krajewski,

00:00:22.880 the Apostolic Almoner, and he's the envoy of the Pope there.

00:00:27.500 This is the John Henry Weston Show, where we're going to be discussing this and what it means.

00:00:31.680 Stay tuned.

00:00:51.020 Russia has factured in a huge way into the messages of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917.

00:00:57.520 On July 13th, 1917, after having shown the three children of Fatima a terrifying vision

00:01:02.980 of hell, Our Lady of Fatima said the following words to the children of Fatima.

00:01:07.680 Listen to this quote, and listen especially if it pertains to Russia.

00:01:10.720 She said,

00:01:11.140 You've seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go.

00:01:14.020 To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.

00:01:17.720 If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

00:01:22.500 The war is going to end. 0.89

00:01:23.960 Remember, that's the First World War.

00:01:25.200 But if people do not cease to offend God, a worse one will break out during the reign of Pius XI.

00:01:30.800 Now, of course, that's interesting because there was no Pius XI in 1917.

00:01:34.180 So, she continues,

00:01:35.320 To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart

00:01:40.160 and the communion of reparation on the first Saturdays.

00:01:43.760 Very important words.

00:01:45.100 She continues,

00:01:45.620 If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. 1.00

00:01:50.900 If not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church. 0.66

00:01:56.300 The good will be martyred.

00:01:57.600 The Holy Father will have much to suffer.

00:01:59.780 Various nations will be annihilated.

00:02:03.740 She continues,

00:02:04.680 In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.

00:02:07.140 The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted 1.00

00:02:10.320 and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.

00:02:13.380 So, these words are part of what has come to be known as the Second Secret of Fatima.

00:02:19.740 They've been the subject, of course, of much controversy over the last hundred years,

00:02:24.020 particularly over whether the prophecies have been fulfilled or are yet to come.

00:02:29.580 But what is clear is Russia has a tremendously important role in the fate of the world,

00:02:35.900 whether for good or for ill.

00:02:38.620 A few months before this message, in February of 1917,

00:02:42.540 the revolution had broken out in Russia and leading to the abdication of the Tsar.

00:02:47.260 Now, less than a month after the final Fatima apparition and the miracle of the sun in October 1917,

00:02:54.220 the Bolsheviks took power in the October Revolution.

00:02:58.540 It was a truly frightening time for the world.

00:03:02.180 Communist revolutions sprung up in many different places

00:03:04.880 and no one could tell where things would go.

00:03:07.840 The year 1917, the year of this revolution, is itself full of meaning.

00:03:15.200 1517 was the year of Luther's rebellion against the Church.

00:03:20.060 1717, Freemasonry was established, rebellion against Christ and the idea of Christianity.

00:03:27.260 But in 1917, the year of atheistic communist materialism represented a rebellion against God himself.

00:03:36.700 Now, we are all aware of the horrors of the Russian communist regime,

00:03:41.320 whose effects are continuing to this day through cultural Marxism and other means.

00:03:46.860 We are told that Sister Lucy, or Lucy at the time, the oldest of the three Fatima children,

00:03:54.080 did not actually even know what the word Russia meant at the time.

00:03:58.460 And yet, she always affirmed hearing it.

00:04:01.480 Russia does not feature very greatly in the later messages at Fatima,

00:04:05.580 but returns with greater force once Sister Lucia had entered the convent

00:04:11.000 and Our Lady returned to make her request for the consecration of Russia.

00:04:15.160 So, there were also visions at Thouy in France.

00:04:19.980 In 1929, Our Lord told Sister Lucy that the time had arrived.

00:04:25.800 At a late holy hour, kneeling in darkness, lit only by a red sanctuary lamp,

00:04:31.440 praying before the Blessed Sacrament at the communion rail,

00:04:34.480 and saying the prayers that the archangel taught her in Fatima,

00:04:37.980 suddenly the chapel was filled with light.

00:04:40.320 A great cross appeared on the altar, held and supported by God the Father,

00:04:45.400 with Christ hanging upon it, and with a luminous dove at His breast.

00:04:50.840 A chalice and a host were in mid-air,

00:04:54.280 with drops of blood falling from Christ into the chalice.

00:04:58.560 To the right was Our Lady, with her immaculate heart crowned with thorns and flames,

00:05:03.460 and on the other were very large letters spelling the words grace and mercy.

00:05:10.680 In this vision, Our Lady said, and I quote,

00:05:13.300 The moment has come when God asks the Holy Father to make,

00:05:17.340 in union with the bishops of the world,

00:05:19.400 the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, 0.69

00:05:22.720 promising to save it by this means, end quote.

00:05:26.700 So you might ask, why Russia?

00:05:30.320 Now, this may all sound quite strange.

00:05:33.980 Why Russia, of course, but why a consecration,

00:05:36.820 and why to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?

00:05:38.840 Well, we can see the horrific and bloody role

00:05:43.140 that Russian communism played over the last many years,

00:05:47.140 not least toward the Russian people themselves.

00:05:50.640 And it's said that the way the communists behaved

00:05:54.220 showed that they hated the Russian people more than any others.

00:05:58.760 It enslaved around 18 million in the gulag system

00:06:02.660 based on ludicrous show trials and denunciations.

00:06:07.240 But it's estimated that 3.5 million Ukrainians died in the Holodomor,

00:06:12.720 a man-made famine that the Ukrainian government and others 0.97

00:06:16.600 recognized as a genocide by the communists.

00:06:19.720 This is to say nothing of the horrendous, blood-stained atrocities

00:06:25.000 carried out by the communists in other Soviet republics.

00:06:29.720 So, we can see why Russia is important,

00:06:33.160 but why the Immaculate Heart, and why consecration?

00:06:37.720 Sister Lucy actually records our Lord,

00:06:41.180 and these are the quotes from our Lord to Sister Lucy,

00:06:43.820 because I want my whole church to recognize that consecration

00:06:49.040 as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

00:06:51.940 The Immaculate Heart of Mary, he said, will save Russia.

00:06:56.120 It has been confided to her, end quote.

00:06:59.480 So, some say that this has already been done,

00:07:02.760 and we've indeed enjoyed a sort of peace,

00:07:06.160 and indeed the USSR, has appeared to have fallen,

00:07:10.380 but it's hardly been replaced with anything that we can clearly recognize

00:07:14.840 as the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

00:07:16.400 And as I said on a previous show,

00:07:18.400 how can we imagine that consecration happened in 1984

00:07:21.960 when we've seen more unborn children massacred since 1984

00:07:25.860 than in any period of time before that?

00:07:28.520 So, after the 1929 vision that I just mentioned,

00:07:34.840 Sister Lucy sent letter after letter to her confessors

00:07:39.280 and her bishop and various other clergy

00:07:41.440 asking that these messages reach the Pope and be fulfilled.

00:07:45.100 Again and again, she stressed the danger facing the world

00:07:48.360 and the importance of this consecration for averting it.

00:07:53.320 For example, six years later,

00:07:55.180 this is six years after our lady first came to ask for the consecration,

00:07:58.420 in 1929, as she asked.

00:08:00.080 So, six years later, she said in her letter to a priest,

00:08:02.900 and I quote,

00:08:04.000 Regarding the matter of Russia,

00:08:06.060 I think it would please our Lord very much

00:08:07.980 if you worked to make the Holy Father comply with his wishes.

00:08:12.500 She continued,

00:08:13.520 About three years ago,

00:08:15.860 our Lord was very displeased

00:08:17.980 because his request had not been attended to,

00:08:21.560 and I made this fact known to the bishop in a letter.

00:08:25.160 Up to date,

00:08:26.900 Our Lord has asked nothing more of me

00:08:29.840 except for prayers and sacrifices.

00:08:32.980 She continued quoting Jesus,

00:08:34.800 or her revelations about Jesus,

00:08:37.140 When I am speaking intimately with him,

00:08:40.320 it seems to me that he is ready to show mercy toward Russia,

00:08:44.380 as he promised five years ago,

00:08:47.040 and whom he wishes much to save, end quote.

00:08:50.100 So, it's really striking how frequently and urgently

00:08:53.500 she wrote to these people,

00:08:55.220 to these various clergy and leaders.

00:08:57.060 There are many more examples in her other letters.

00:09:01.140 The lack of a consecration was key.

00:09:04.580 In 1940,

00:09:06.320 Sister Lucy attributed the outbreak of the Second World War

00:09:09.500 to the consecration not having been done.

00:09:13.080 She said that,

00:09:14.280 and I quote,

00:09:14.760 Our Lord also regrets it.

00:09:17.600 By this act,

00:09:18.600 he would have appeased his justice

00:09:20.500 and forgiven the world

00:09:21.680 the scourge of war

00:09:23.420 that Russia is promoting 0.87

00:09:25.660 by the nations since the war in Spain, end quote.

00:09:29.800 Now,

00:09:30.640 it's not really taught in schools,

00:09:32.720 but the Spanish Civil War,

00:09:34.320 which was a prelude to World War II in many ways,

00:09:37.160 was a brutal anti-Catholic persecution

00:09:40.260 by the communist forces in Spain,

00:09:42.180 in which many priests and nuns were butchered.

00:09:46.100 In fact,

00:09:46.740 Portugal,

00:09:47.680 Spain's neighbor,

00:09:48.640 was largely spared these atrocities,

00:09:50.740 which the bishops attributed

00:09:51.940 to their own consecration of Portugal

00:09:53.860 to the Immaculate Heart.

00:09:56.360 Now,

00:09:56.900 everyone knows

00:09:57.920 that the Spanish,

00:09:59.120 that Spanish communism

00:10:00.060 was being spurred on

00:10:02.100 by the communists in Russia.

00:10:03.640 It's not a secret,

00:10:04.540 but Sister Lucy

00:10:05.860 is saying that these atrocities

00:10:08.100 would have been averted,

00:10:09.820 would have been stopped

00:10:10.820 if the consecration had been made.

00:10:13.480 In other words,

00:10:14.380 Russia was already being used 0.98

00:10:16.020 as a scourge against the world.

00:10:18.180 And Sister Lucy said further,

00:10:19.440 and I quote,

00:10:20.340 Therefore,

00:10:21.260 it is the will of God

00:10:22.800 that the request

00:10:24.260 be renewed with the Holy See.

00:10:27.660 Unless this act intervenes,

00:10:30.120 through which intervention

00:10:31.320 we would obtain peace,

00:10:32.780 the war will only end 0.78

00:10:34.780 when the blood spilled by the martyrs

00:10:37.040 is enough to appease the divine justice.

00:10:40.820 And there's even more than that.

00:10:42.900 Now,

00:10:43.280 we've all heard

00:10:44.100 of the famous

00:10:44.660 Third Secret of Fatima,

00:10:46.100 which was due to be opened in 1960,

00:10:48.540 but the consecration itself

00:10:49.560 was supposed to happen

00:10:50.520 soon after 1929.

00:10:53.780 Now,

00:10:54.380 in 1931,

00:10:55.500 Sister Lucy recounts

00:10:56.700 a frightening message from Christ,

00:10:59.100 already angry

00:11:00.160 at the hierarchy's failure

00:11:02.120 to obey his request

00:11:03.180 for the consecration

00:11:04.080 of Russia

00:11:04.720 to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

00:11:06.440 And I quote,

00:11:07.020 here's what he said,

00:11:07.600 They did not want

00:11:09.880 to heed my request.

00:11:11.580 And that's the request

00:11:12.320 to consecrate Russia, right?

00:11:13.700 So,

00:11:14.060 they did not want

00:11:14.600 to heed my request.

00:11:16.240 Like the King of France,

00:11:17.400 they will repent

00:11:18.260 and do it,

00:11:19.300 but it will be late.

00:11:20.700 Russia will have already 0.98

00:11:22.340 spread its errors

00:11:23.060 throughout the world,

00:11:24.240 provoking wars

00:11:25.180 and persecutions

00:11:26.140 against the Church.

00:11:27.220 The Holy Father

00:11:27.920 will have much to suffer,

00:11:29.220 end quote.

00:11:29.540 And then,

00:11:31.700 she relayed this message

00:11:33.160 from Christ

00:11:33.960 to her bishop

00:11:34.740 and the hierarchy.

00:11:36.100 And I quote again,

00:11:37.480 Make it known

00:11:38.080 to my ministers

00:11:38.740 that given they follow

00:11:40.320 the example

00:11:40.920 of the King of France

00:11:41.780 in delaying the execution

00:11:43.100 of my request,

00:11:44.420 they will follow him

00:11:45.640 into misfortune.

00:11:46.920 It will never be too late

00:11:48.820 to have recourse

00:11:49.820 to Jesus and Mary.

00:11:51.700 End quote.

00:11:52.620 So,

00:11:53.320 what does this mean,

00:11:54.340 the King of France?

00:11:55.620 Well,

00:11:56.380 in 1689,

00:11:58.260 Christ had ordered

00:11:59.060 through St. Margaret

00:12:00.640 Mary à la Côte

00:12:01.540 that the King Louis

00:12:03.080 of France

00:12:03.760 consecrate France 0.99

00:12:06.320 to the Sacred Heart

00:12:07.960 of Jesus.

00:12:09.180 He promised great blessings

00:12:10.520 for this act

00:12:11.440 and punishments

00:12:12.340 for failing to do so.

00:12:14.380 And for various reasons,

00:12:15.880 it didn't happen.

00:12:17.320 And a hundred years later,

00:12:19.640 the later King,

00:12:21.660 Louis XVI at the time,

00:12:23.820 lost his head

00:12:24.700 in the French Revolution

00:12:25.600 and the monarchy

00:12:27.320 was overthrown.

00:12:29.020 So,

00:12:29.940 what a frightening message

00:12:31.780 that if the consecration

00:12:33.400 of Russia

00:12:34.160 is not done,

00:12:35.000 the hierarchy

00:12:35.640 will go the way

00:12:37.280 of the King of France.

00:12:39.260 Who knows exactly

00:12:40.380 what threat,

00:12:42.040 that threat actually means,

00:12:43.180 but we can leave that aside

00:12:44.820 for our purposes.

00:12:46.040 Thinking about Russia,

00:12:47.240 we see again

00:12:47.980 that Sister Lucy says

00:12:49.260 that

00:12:49.880 the delays

00:12:51.860 mean that

00:12:52.960 even when the consecration

00:12:54.340 is made,

00:12:55.300 Russia will have already 0.98

00:12:56.320 spread its errors

00:12:57.480 and provoked wars

00:12:58.440 and persecutions.

00:13:00.380 So,

00:13:01.060 there was another interview,

00:13:02.480 a key interview

00:13:03.320 that Sister Lucy gave

00:13:04.840 in 1957.

00:13:06.700 She gave it to a priest

00:13:07.540 called Father Fuentes.

00:13:09.960 Listen to what she says there

00:13:11.060 in this interview

00:13:12.200 with Father Fuentes,

00:13:13.600 which, by the way,

00:13:14.360 was given

00:13:14.640 approbation to publish

00:13:15.780 approbation to publish

00:13:16.680 by the bishop.

00:13:18.280 Quote,

00:13:18.940 the chastisement

00:13:19.820 from heaven

00:13:20.260 is imminent.

00:13:21.600 The year 1960

00:13:22.640 is on us.

00:13:23.860 End quote.

00:13:24.540 And that year,

00:13:25.500 of course,

00:13:25.780 the third secret

00:13:26.320 was supposed to be revealed.

00:13:27.720 So,

00:13:28.180 then she continues.

00:13:29.620 And then,

00:13:30.540 what will happen?

00:13:31.840 It will be very sad

00:13:33.360 for everyone

00:13:34.000 and far from

00:13:35.380 a happy thing

00:13:36.160 if the world

00:13:37.420 does not pray

00:13:38.440 and do penance

00:13:39.080 before then.

00:13:40.260 End quote.

00:13:41.700 But,

00:13:42.380 does she seem

00:13:43.720 to tell us

00:13:44.420 with hints

00:13:45.940 what the third secret

00:13:47.380 says?

00:13:48.720 This is the third part

00:13:50.160 of the message

00:13:51.040 of Our Lady,

00:13:52.100 which still remains

00:13:53.560 secret until 1960,

00:13:55.040 she said.

00:13:56.020 Tell them,

00:13:56.920 Father,

00:13:57.480 that the Blessed Virgin

00:13:58.620 said repeatedly

00:14:00.140 to my cousins

00:14:01.120 Francisco and Yatsinta

00:14:02.080 as well as to me

00:14:03.240 that many nations

00:14:04.760 would disappear

00:14:05.580 from the face

00:14:06.480 of the earth,

00:14:07.740 that Russia 0.72

00:14:08.660 would be the instrument

00:14:09.800 of chastisement,

00:14:10.700 from heaven

00:14:11.340 for the whole world

00:14:12.700 if the conversion

00:14:13.560 of that poor nation

00:14:14.460 is not obtained

00:14:16.120 beforehand.

00:14:17.980 End quote.

00:14:20.180 That is so,

00:14:21.580 you know what,

00:14:22.220 that's so important,

00:14:22.860 we should actually

00:14:23.300 listen to that again.

00:14:24.400 Many nations

00:14:25.380 would disappear

00:14:26.660 from the face

00:14:27.800 of the earth

00:14:28.640 and Russia

00:14:29.720 would be the instrument

00:14:30.820 of chastisement

00:14:31.620 from heaven

00:14:32.040 for the whole world

00:14:33.140 if the conversion

00:14:34.480 of that poor nation

00:14:35.480 is not obtained

00:14:36.400 beforehand.

00:14:38.700 Given our situation

00:14:40.100 right now in the world,

00:14:41.060 that should put

00:14:42.520 everybody in such alarm

00:14:44.080 and please God

00:14:45.560 give us such hope

00:14:46.540 for the consecration

00:14:48.260 of the Russia

00:14:49.600 to the Immaculate Heart

00:14:50.360 of Mary.

00:14:52.180 So,

00:14:53.140 what is this

00:14:54.440 consecration right now?

00:14:55.740 Pope Francis

00:14:56.320 has said he's going

00:14:57.080 to consecrate

00:14:57.800 Russia and Ukraine.

00:14:59.780 There's no mention

00:15:00.860 of doing this

00:15:01.840 with all the bishops

00:15:03.380 of the world

00:15:03.880 as is heaven's request,

00:15:05.240 so we don't know

00:15:05.980 what that's going to mean

00:15:06.760 when it was done

00:15:07.480 before just

00:15:08.300 by the Pope

00:15:08.920 like that

00:15:09.460 without doing it

00:15:10.860 with all the world

00:15:11.400 bishops.

00:15:12.000 It wasn't accepted.

00:15:13.460 So,

00:15:13.840 what is this one

00:15:14.320 going to mean?

00:15:14.740 I don't know.

00:15:15.700 LifeSide has already

00:15:16.560 contacted the Vatican

00:15:17.540 to ask if it's

00:15:18.520 going to be done

00:15:19.060 with all the bishops

00:15:20.600 of the world

00:15:21.060 simultaneously,

00:15:21.660 which was the request.

00:15:23.100 We haven't got

00:15:23.580 an answer yet.

00:15:24.160 We're waiting

00:15:24.500 to hear back

00:15:24.940 from the Vatican.

00:15:26.180 So,

00:15:26.600 what can we do?

00:15:27.800 Well,

00:15:28.140 as we watch

00:15:28.860 what's going on

00:15:29.680 over in Ukraine,

00:15:31.240 can we not see

00:15:32.140 the beginnings

00:15:32.600 of this prophecy

00:15:33.400 in light of these words?

00:15:35.360 It's chilling.

00:15:36.340 You know,

00:15:36.580 it's chilling stuff.

00:15:38.060 The elimination

00:15:39.220 of the various nations,

00:15:41.100 we haven't seen that yet.

00:15:42.640 We might live

00:15:43.200 a nuclear war

00:15:43.840 and that's exactly

00:15:44.720 what's being threatened

00:15:45.440 right now.

00:15:46.200 But we recall

00:15:47.360 that these things,

00:15:49.460 they're not about

00:15:50.760 stirring up hatred

00:15:52.040 or warmongering,

00:15:53.300 but we want to

00:15:54.020 think about them

00:15:55.220 to focus on how

00:15:56.440 we should view

00:15:57.380 these events,

00:15:58.500 what might be

00:15:59.180 more helpful

00:16:00.000 to ourselves.

00:16:01.800 There's no whipping

00:16:02.840 ourselves up

00:16:03.440 into a frenzy.

00:16:04.140 What we can do

00:16:05.560 is pray

00:16:06.060 and observe

00:16:06.620 a good Lent

00:16:07.120 with proper fasting

00:16:08.440 and the Ember Days,

00:16:09.480 by the way,

00:16:10.120 which are the first

00:16:11.500 week of Lent,

00:16:12.500 and by doing

00:16:13.720 penance for sin.

00:16:15.680 But Sister Lucy

00:16:16.300 also told us

00:16:17.420 that we were

00:16:18.740 to do two

00:16:19.740 specific things.

00:16:21.280 The first

00:16:21.680 is pretty basic.

00:16:22.640 We should all

00:16:23.020 be praying

00:16:23.400 the Rosary

00:16:24.040 every day.

00:16:25.340 In the interview

00:16:26.300 with Father Fuentes,

00:16:27.900 she said

00:16:28.600 that Our Lady

00:16:29.400 told her,

00:16:30.520 the Rosary

00:16:31.060 has been given

00:16:32.540 a new efficacy,

00:16:34.380 she said.

00:16:35.300 She has given

00:16:36.160 this efficacy

00:16:37.320 to such an extent

00:16:38.700 that there is

00:16:39.640 no problem,

00:16:40.740 no matter how

00:16:41.340 difficult it is,

00:16:42.440 whether temporal

00:16:43.400 or above all

00:16:44.320 spiritual,

00:16:45.100 in the personal

00:16:45.720 life of each

00:16:46.520 one of us,

00:16:47.220 of our families,

00:16:48.520 of the families

00:16:49.300 of the world

00:16:50.280 or of the religious

00:16:51.540 communities,

00:16:51.960 or even in the life

00:16:53.040 of peoples

00:16:53.700 and nations

00:16:54.660 that cannot be solved

00:16:56.040 by the Rosary.

00:16:57.960 End quote.

00:16:58.200 So those

00:16:59.440 are strong

00:16:59.900 promises

00:17:00.320 and we should

00:17:01.120 trust them.

00:17:02.420 But the second

00:17:03.260 means,

00:17:04.560 the second way

00:17:05.640 she told us

00:17:06.300 is uniquely

00:17:07.540 linked to Fatima.

00:17:09.220 We can observe

00:17:10.260 the first

00:17:11.060 Saturday devotions

00:17:12.180 revealed by

00:17:13.000 Our Lady of Fatima.

00:17:13.980 This is the idea.

00:17:15.260 For five

00:17:16.180 consecutive Saturdays,

00:17:17.540 and just keep

00:17:18.160 doing it,

00:17:18.560 of course,

00:17:18.800 once you've done

00:17:19.300 the five,

00:17:19.940 we go to confession,

00:17:21.500 receive Holy Communion,

00:17:22.860 offer five decades

00:17:23.740 of the Rosary,

00:17:24.820 and then 15 minutes

00:17:25.960 of meditation

00:17:26.540 on the mysteries

00:17:27.720 of the Rosary,

00:17:28.540 all in a spirit

00:17:29.480 of reparation

00:17:30.140 for sins committed

00:17:30.860 against the Immaculate

00:17:31.980 Heart of Mary.

00:17:33.100 Now, if you're

00:17:33.660 wondering about

00:17:34.100 the meditations,

00:17:34.940 I've done a 15-minute

00:17:36.020 meditation for you

00:17:37.020 on the mysteries.

00:17:37.680 If you want to use

00:17:38.300 that, great,

00:17:39.120 but you can just

00:17:39.680 spend 15 minutes

00:17:41.080 meditating on

00:17:41.860 all the mysteries

00:17:42.600 or one of the mysteries,

00:17:43.500 whatever you wish,

00:17:44.120 but 15 minutes

00:17:44.980 of meditation

00:17:45.460 apart from the Rosary

00:17:46.380 itself.

00:17:46.940 This is what

00:17:47.800 our sister Lucy

00:17:49.660 said in 1939

00:17:50.800 to a priest about it.

00:17:52.220 She said,

00:17:52.640 and I quote,

00:17:53.380 War or peace

00:17:54.360 in the world

00:17:54.900 depends on

00:17:56.280 practicing this

00:17:57.180 devotion.

00:17:57.940 That's the first

00:17:58.400 Saturday's devotion.

00:18:00.040 United to the

00:18:01.440 consecration

00:18:01.940 to the Immaculate

00:18:02.760 Heart of Mary.

00:18:04.080 So, we just

00:18:05.540 passed the first

00:18:06.360 Saturday of March,

00:18:07.540 so we're going

00:18:08.420 to focus then

00:18:09.140 on the first

00:18:09.920 Saturday of April.

00:18:11.420 Who knows

00:18:12.280 whether what

00:18:13.700 is happening

00:18:14.260 in Ukraine

00:18:14.800 is the start

00:18:15.580 of something

00:18:16.040 bigger and darker,

00:18:17.380 but heaven warned

00:18:18.300 us nearly 100

00:18:19.860 years ago

00:18:20.640 and gave us

00:18:21.460 the weapons

00:18:22.120 to overcome

00:18:23.260 these things.

00:18:25.020 It's no good

00:18:26.140 tweeting things

00:18:27.180 like pray for Ukraine

00:18:28.460 and then merely

00:18:29.440 sending good

00:18:30.160 vibrations over there.

00:18:31.300 The best thing

00:18:31.900 we can do

00:18:32.580 for Ukraine

00:18:33.360 and perhaps

00:18:34.080 ourselves

00:18:34.440 is to pray

00:18:35.340 for the conversion

00:18:36.040 of Russia

00:18:36.520 and to make

00:18:37.360 reparation

00:18:37.920 to the Immaculate

00:18:38.820 Heart

00:18:39.160 in these

00:18:40.060 first Saturday

00:18:41.160 devotions.

00:18:42.360 These are

00:18:43.220 our weapons

00:18:43.700 and it's time

00:18:44.440 to pick them up.

00:18:45.840 This is John Henry

00:18:46.540 Weston

00:18:46.960 for LifeSite News

00:18:47.980 and may God bless you.

00:18:49.060 We have been

00:18:52.240 warning everyone

00:18:53.200 who would listen

00:18:53.920 and attempting

00:18:54.760 to build up

00:18:55.660 alternative platforms

00:18:56.900 to continue

00:18:57.940 to reach you.

00:18:59.520 We have established

00:19:00.520 ourselves on all

00:19:01.480 sorts of platforms

00:19:02.360 I'm going to explain

00:19:03.120 in a minute,

00:19:03.880 but the most important

00:19:04.860 thing to do

00:19:05.340 is come direct

00:19:06.080 to LifeSiteNews.com

00:19:08.260 because there

00:19:09.400 we will always be.

00:19:11.080 But we've also

00:19:11.740 established ourselves

00:19:12.740 on platforms

00:19:13.740 like Parler

00:19:14.440 and MeWe

00:19:15.380 and our videos

00:19:16.340 can be found

00:19:17.000 on Rumble as well.

00:19:18.180 We would love

00:19:19.760 to see each

00:19:20.520 of you

00:19:20.780 on those

00:19:21.160 platforms too

00:19:21.940 as they are

00:19:22.720 not censoring

00:19:23.560 or suppressing

00:19:24.380 the truth

00:19:24.840 that we are

00:19:25.320 sharing

00:19:25.680 every single

00:19:26.760 day.

00:19:27.540 More than

00:19:28.480 these alternative

00:19:29.340 social media

00:19:29.900 platforms,

00:19:30.680 we highly

00:19:31.340 encourage you

00:19:32.000 to subscribe

00:19:32.720 to our email

00:19:33.580 newsletter.

00:19:34.560 We have

00:19:35.260 really built

00:19:36.160 up a large

00:19:36.880 list of loyal

00:19:37.620 readers on our

00:19:38.340 email marketing

00:19:39.020 platform and

00:19:40.380 we have prepared

00:19:41.040 several backup

00:19:42.000 plans for,

00:19:43.620 well,

00:19:44.360 I want to say

00:19:44.900 if,

00:19:45.260 but it's really

00:19:45.760 when,

00:19:46.600 we are removed

00:19:47.660 from our

00:19:48.120 current platform

00:19:48.880 as well.

00:19:50.120 Additionally,

00:19:51.040 I really encourage

00:19:52.080 you,

00:19:52.400 as I said

00:19:52.900 before,

00:19:53.420 to make it

00:19:53.980 a regular

00:19:54.580 habit to go

00:19:55.520 directly to

00:19:56.200 LifeSiteNews.com.

00:19:57.580 Make it

00:19:58.380 your homepage.

00:19:59.640 While all

00:20:00.680 of these

00:20:00.980 different platforms

00:20:01.780 are an excellent

00:20:02.980 way to curate

00:20:04.000 your news,

00:20:04.780 going directly

00:20:05.580 to our website

00:20:06.340 means that you

00:20:07.280 will never

00:20:07.760 encounter any

00:20:08.660 censorship or

00:20:09.800 sudden loss

00:20:10.520 of LifeSite News

00:20:11.340 reporting.

00:20:12.220 Here's the thing.

00:20:13.620 We will never

00:20:15.240 stop sharing

00:20:16.100 the truth.

00:20:16.520 We founded

00:20:17.680 this organization

00:20:18.480 with the mission

00:20:19.300 to be the

00:20:20.300 life,

00:20:20.880 family,

00:20:21.220 and culture

00:20:21.740 source for

00:20:22.560 men and

00:20:23.120 women who 0.99

00:20:23.700 seek to

00:20:24.400 know the

00:20:24.840 truth.

00:20:25.660 We have

00:20:26.180 established a

00:20:27.140 track record

00:20:27.800 of honest

00:20:28.400 reports and

00:20:29.460 this will

00:20:30.100 never stop,

00:20:31.080 even with

00:20:32.160 censorship

00:20:32.900 happening around

00:20:33.920 the globe.

00:20:35.020 Again,

00:20:35.800 I'm encouraging

00:20:36.800 you to join us

00:20:37.980 on Parler,

00:20:46.440 May God bless

00:20:47.080 you and keep

00:20:47.580 you,
