...The Catholic Church regards the three parts of the Fatima Secret and the total Fatima
message to be important and of great value to the spiritual lives of its people. It consists
only of prophecies about the new condition of the Church in the world.... Fatima and its
Secret do present us with something deeply serious, for they bring us face to face with the
mysteries of eternal life. Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions.
Faith and prayer are forces which can influence history and that in the end prayer is more
powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies...
…On the 13th of October of 1917, Our Lady of Fatima told the 3 little shepherds 3 secrets,
after what was called the Miracle of the Sun, an alleged miraculous event that was
witnessed by as many as 100,000 people. According to many witness statements, after a
downfall of rain, the clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disk in the
sky. It was said to be significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights
across the landscape, the shadows on the landscape, the people, and the surrounding
clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened towards the earth in a zigzag pattern.
Witnesses reported that the ground and their previously wet clothes became completely dry…
…The 3 secrets from Our Lady of Fatima: 1-the first war would finish but if people didn't
stop offending God, another worse one would come. 2-That there would be a revolution in
Russia and persecutions against the church; everyone should have faith to withstand the
advance of evil (showing the vision of hell, a lot of fire that seemed to be under the earth
where demons and souls were put in human forms burning among screams and wailings of
pain. 3-The Pope revealed partially the third secret on his visit to Fátima on the 13th of
May of 2000: after Our Lady said the two secrets, we have seen an angel a little farther up
with an incandescent sword on the left hand that seemed to set the world on fire. But the
flames of the sword went out with the shine coming from the Virgin's right hand, pointed in
its direction. Several Bishops, priests, religious and nuns going up a mountain, at the top
of which there was a big cross. The Pope, before arriving there, crossed a city in ruins and
he went praying for the dead bodies that he found on the road. Arriving to the top of the
mountain he was shot by soldiers and likewise were also shot religious people and several
people of several social classes…
