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.
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.
00:01:50.900 If not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
00:20:38.780 MeWe,
00:20:39.200 Rumble,
00:20:39.700 and on our
00:20:40.380 email list.
00:20:41.360 You can find
00:20:42.160 all the direct
00:20:43.200 links in the
00:20:44.260 description of
00:20:45.100 this video.
00:20:46.440 May God bless
00:20:47.080 you and keep
00:20:47.580 you,
00:20:48.040 and we are
00:20:48.540 so thankful
00:20:49.060 that you've
00:20:49.520 chosen to
