Contrary to the claims of some people,
the first part of Mary’s Message is
Sacrifice. This is something that the
modern world does not like to hear.
Self holds sway in the world: selfexpression
and self-satisfaction but
not self-denial. The world is brought up
without discipline, while passions run
riot. Literature, amusements, dances and
music of every kind are encouraged.
The First Part of The Message:
Sacrifice Is Necessary
Without Sacrifice,
We cannot do our Daily Duty!
Without Sacrifice,
We cannot avoid Sin!
All through the story of Fatima, we
hear the words of Sacrifice, Outrages,
Reparation and Ingratitude. Sacrifice
is demanded of us as it is an essential
condition for peace! Keep the Lord’s
Day holy. The reading of good Catholic
books must have a part in our everyday
life.
Attending Holy Mass on Sunday is not
enough! The heart of the Sacrifice asked
of us is avoidance of sin, especially
sins of the flesh. The sea of impurity
swallows up multitudes of souls.
What are we doing to clean up
this Ocean of Evil?!!
The Second Part of The Message:
“PRAY THE ROSARY!”
The Rosary has been neglected by very
many. It must be prayed with devotion
and reverently with meditation on the
Mysteries. The Rosary is the great and
infallible key to the Heart of God. It
makes Hell tremble.
The Third Part of The Message:
“The Scapular will be for all
‘THE SIGN OF OUR CONSECRATION’
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!”
Pope Pius XII
O
ur Lady asked for the Consecration
of the world, Russia, our homes
and each individual, as well as the
Communion of Reparation on the
First Saturday of each month.
We shall promise to wear the Scapular
of Mt. Carmel as an act of consecration
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and
will renew this promise often especially
in moments of temptation.
“I promise to assist at the hour of death,
with all the graces necessary for
Salvation, all those who on the First
Saturday of five consecutive months
will go to Confession, receive Holy
Communion and keep me company for a
quarter of an hour while meditating
on the 15 Mysteries of the Rosary,
and to offer up all in reparation.”
If we do all this, the world will have
peace! This, then, will save our families,
our country and obtain peace for the
world. Sacrifice is the part we contribute.
Sacrifice is essential and is the most
important part of the Message. Our Lady
told the children that many souls go to
Hell because there is no one to pray for
them or make sacrifices for them. She
urged them: “Sacrifice yourselves for
sinners!” Say often, “Oh my Jesus, it is
for love of Thee, for the conversion
