of sinners and in reparation for
the offenses committed against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
The devil has been making a special
effort to keep the Message of Our Lady
of Fatima hidden so that men might go
to Hell. Country after country has been
invaded by the errors of Communism.
Wars are a punishment for sin. How
great then must be the sins of mankind!
The Catholic Church today is facing
the worst persecution in its history. If
Catholics are timid, worldly and do
not fight against this spirit of godless
materialism, they will incur the wrath
of God and the cruelty of man.
“All the Evils of the World are due
to Lukewarm Catholics.”
Pope St. Pius V
O
ur apathy, lukewarmness and lack of
interest rapidly become active support
because, by our cowardice, we help the
enemies accomplish their work. Pope
St. Pius X said, “All the strength of
Satan’s reign is due to the easygoing
weakness of the Catholics!” Attack is
the best means of defense and, if we
use Our Lady’s weapon of Sacrifice,
the Rosary and Consecration to the
Immaculate Heart, we have nothing
to fear!
The thought of this terrible thing is
too frightful to contemplate. Still more
terrible is to realize that we are the
cause of it. We are not man enough to
use the remedy the Mother of God has
placed in our hands. Sister Lucia told
us: “As soon as a sufficient number
of people are doing as She asked,
then Russia will be converted and
the world will have peace.” N
ow that we know what we have
to do, we shall be traitors to Our God
and to our fellow men if we stand
by idle. We possess immense power
through the three conditions Our
Lady has given us. Sacrifice places
great power in our hands. The Rosary
has immense power with God.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is the
invincible Heart to which it is given to
crush the head of the Serpent and all
powers of evil. The enemies have no
hope in this world or in the next. The
victory belongs to those who love and
obey our Blessed Mother.
Can we dare refuse the pleadings of the
Immaculate Heart? NO, a thousand
times, NO! Every one of us must act
now and do what the Mother of God
has asked us to do in order to save
souls. The peace of the world clearly
rests upon our shoulders!
“Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, in this tragic hour of the World’s history,
we entrust and consecrate ourselves to thy Immaculate Heart, our only
Refuge, our Hope, our Salvation. Have pity on this World, torn by the
most terrible conflicts, burning with the fires of hate - victim of its own
sins. May thy Heart be moved at the sight of so much ruin, pain and
sorrow. We consecrate to thy Maternal Heart our persons, our
families, our country - the whole of humanity. Protect and save us!
O Heart of Mary, source of true love, fill our selfish hearts with divine
charity and with that true brotherly love without which there can never
be peace. Grant that men and nations may understand and fulfill the precept
of thy Divine Son, LOVE ONE ANOTHER, in order that true peace may be
firmly established in the Justice and Tr uth of Christ.” Pope Pius XII
“HORA EST IAM NOS DE SOMNO SURGERE.” Romans, XIII - 11
