Fatima 1917 (20th Century)

As if to ask for help, we raised our eyes to Our Lady, who told us, with kindness and sadness: You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish on earth the devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

"But if it is not done and if the world does not cease offending God, Divine Justice will manifest itself with newer and even greater punishments. Russia will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and per secutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much of sufferrand various nations will be destroyed...

If men will repent, God will pardon them, but if they do not amend their lives, there will come upon the earth the most terrible chastisement ever known.

If people do what I ask, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war (1 st World War) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God , another even worse, will begin in the reign of Pius XI.

When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God will give you that He is going to punish the world by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father.

To prevent it, I shall come to ask for the Consecra tion of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Commun ion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If people attend to my requests, Russia will be converted-and the world will have peace.

Ask, ask again insistently for the promulgation of repara tion in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the First Saturdays. THE TIME IS COMING WHEN THE RIGOR OF MY JUSTICE WILL PUNISH THE CRIMES OF DIF FERENT NATIONS. SOME OF THEM WILL BE ANNI-

HILATED. IN THE END THE SEVERITY OF MY JUS TICE WILL FALL MOST SEVERELY ON THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY MY REIGN IN SOULS.

It will be too late; Russia will already have spread her errors throughout the world.
