Fatima Reversed?

Is Russia’s Consecration out of date?
It’s indispensable, however late.

When on June 13, 1929, Our Lady of Fatima appeared to Sister Lucy at Tuy in Spain to ask for the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, it made perfect sense, because ever since the Russian Revolution broke out in October, 1917, Russia had been persecuting the Church and acting as the main instrument of Communism to spread its deadly errors throughout the world. However, Russia is now playing such a different part on the stage of world affairs that a number of Catholics are wondering if that Consecration is still needed. Has it not been overtaken by events?

True, with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 the Russian people began to repudiate the godless Communism under which they had suffered so much for 70 years, and since then they have not ceased to evolve towards God instead of away from him. Leading this evolution has been Russia’a Prime Minister or President since 1999, Vladimir Putin (born in1952), who by his personal example and public leadership has done all he could to promote the real revival of the Christian Orthodox religion within Russia. Some observers still doubt that Putin is genuine, but the fruits are there: thousands of churches and cathedrals rebuilt all over Russia and morality defended, while outside of Russia Putin has more than once delayed the outbreak of World War III by outwitting the delinquent Western politicians, puppets of the godless New World Order and pushing for its triumph.

Then can one say that Russia today no longer needs to be converted? No, because Orthodox Christianity is not yet Catholicism, and because Communism has reportedly left its mark on the morals of the Russian people, for instance in the still widespread practice of abortion. But what one can surely say is that by the present religious revival, witnessed for many a year now by Western visitors to Russia, Our Lady is preparing for the full conversion of Russia, and while that full conversi on may no longer be needed to put an end to Russian Communism, in the 21^st century it may be even more needed to overcome world Globalism. Let us speculate on how that might happen.

To break out of the aggressive encirclement of Russia by military bases of a nameless western power which has let itself be instrumentalised by the evil Masters of Globalism, Russia, the apparent but not the real aggressor (the two are not always the same), invades and conquers Europe thoroughly corrupted by atheistic materialism. Under the pressure of war and occupation, the Pope at last performs the Consecration of Russia, as requested by Our Lady at Fatima, and the miraculous full conversion begins to take place, but not to the putrid religion of Conciliar Rome, rather to a brand-new (and brand-old) Catholicism (Mt.XIII, 52), in which all the Truth of Eternal Rome and of the once faithful West is revitalised by the religious freshness of the post-Communist Russians drawing on everything truest and best in their own Eastern traditions.

Wishful thinking? The details here stitched together from prophecies, and even the grand lines of the speculation can be wrong, but in any case some such miracle will be wrought by Our Lady to cleanse the East of its errors and the West of its corruption, so that the Church can again breathe with both lungs, and so that there can come about that “period of peace for the world” which she promised at Fatima. In any case believers will be crying out with St Paul, “O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!” (Rom. XI, 33). If we are among the survivors, we shall be marvelling at the works of God and of his Blessed Mother.

Kyrie eleison.

Eleison Comments CXII: Russia's Conversion

NOSSA SENHORA DE FÁTIMA, ROGAI POR NOS!

A remarkable yet possible plan of Heaven for today's world can be guessed at, if Orthodox Christianity is reviving within Russia in the manner described to me a few days ago in London by a Russian. His description corresponds to the impression brought away from Russia by an American friend visiting St Petersburg a few years ago - the average Russian has distinctly more spiritual substance in him then has the average spiritually wasted Westerner. Does this connect with Our Lady of Fatima...?

The Russian in London told me that the Orthodox Church in Russia is following rather than leading a revival of Orthodoxy amongst the people. Attendance at the Orthodox liturgy has increased by half over the last two years, and now 80% of Russians are at least calling themselves "Orthodox", i.e. believers. New parishes are springing up everywhere. Bibles are snatched up as soon as they come on sale. Religious literature is flourishing, whilst atheistic propaganda is dying. "Holy Russia" is rising from the grave in which Communism from 1917 to 1989 strove to bury it.

For when the Communist structures of the Soviet "empire of evil" (Pres. Reagan) collapsed in 1989, the Russians turned for an ideology to replace Communism not to Western Liberalism but to their national and religious roots in Russian Orthodoxy. What indeed had the decadent West had to offer to Russia's new needs in the 1990's ? In economics, the plundering of their wealth by capitalist vultures; in politics, the still on-going encirclement of their frontiers to ensure the United States' permanent global hegemony by the construction of a ring of military bases which are one, if not the real, reason for the disastrous occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan never to come to an end; in religion, the attempted push eastwards of Conciliar ecumenism, with which apparently the Russian churchmen want nothing to do - on the contrary, they are aware of the Traditional Catholic movement, and support it.

However, let us be under no illusion: Russian Orthodoxy welds together religion and patriotism in a not wholly godly mixture, and Orthodoxy is still schismatic by refusing the Papal Supremacy, and heretical by refusing a number of dogmas, so Russians do need to be converted to the truly Universal or Catholic Church. But if Our Lady of Fatima has singled out their country for the Consecration to her Heart, may it not be, not because the Russians are still wicked Communists but because the Russian people's huge sufferings from their 70 Babylonian years of Communist captivity are calling forth from the always religious depths of "Holy Russia" an upsurge of spiritual vitality which could save the true Church, presently wilting in the West, where Church Authority may still have large numbers but it has little Faith, whilst the Traditional remnant has the true Faith but little by way of numbers and less by way of Authority ?  God knows how the Western Church also needs conversion !

May it then be Russia's smashing of the encirclement in a Third World War leading to its occupation of Europe, which will at last drive the Latin Pope to consecrate Russia to Our Lady's Heart, as she has so long been asking for in vain?  Will at that moment the Russians' renewed religious vigor save our languishing Catholic Authority and Tradition, whose Truth will in turn cleanse their errors ?  If so, then God will once again have "concluded all in unbelief, that He may have mercy on all...How incomprehensible are His judgments, and how unsearchable His ways... To Him be glory for ever" (Rom. XI, 32...36). 

Catholics, mainstream and of Tradition, pray your hearts out for the Consecration of Russia to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, or "Theotokos" as she is known in the Eastern Church.

                             
Kyrie eleison. 

FATIMA

Or the means chosen by God to redress the present situation
by a Dominican father
taken from the official site of the Dominicans of Avrillé

This is a sermon given in the Dominican monastery la Haye-aux-Bonshommes in Avrillé (France).

The Fatima Message

Starting on May 13, the Most Holy Virgin appeared to three young shepherds on the 13th of every month in the presence of a growing number of pilgrims and the inquisitive. The children alone saw Our Lady.

It is not sufficient to say that the message was a call for prayer and penance, as the Vatican claims. Such a lack of precision allows the particular demands given by Our Lady for our times to be placed under the bushel. We must therefore state the exact nature and the aim of the prayer request. Therefore, it is more correct to say that the instructions given by Our Lady between May 13 and October 13 may be summed up in these words: the daily Rosary and sacrifices for the conversion of sinners. That is the Fatima message in general.

To this general message were later added two particular requests that were in keeping with the promise made as early as July 13:

- in 1925, the request was made for the Five First Saturdays devotion in reparation for sins ;

- and in 1929, the request was made for the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Pope in union with all the bishops in the world.

It would be an error to limit the Fatima message to these two particular requests and to forget the general request: the daily Rosary and sacrifices for the conversion of sinners.

The Miracle of the Sun: the Facts

Let us go back to the 13th day of October 1917, the day that we are commemorating today.

As early as July 13, the Virgin Mary announced a huge miracle that would take place on October 13 so that the entire world may believe in the reality of the apparitions and in the serious nature of Heaven’s warning.

The story is well known: a crowd of nearly 100,000 people gathered in the area; they were mostly Catholics, but also non-believers, militant atheists, and even the freemasonic government minister for national education. A torrential rain pouring from midnight on soaked everyone to the bones and rendered the Cova da Iria[1] into a muddy field: in order to give blessings, God wills that we first do penance. At midday, Lucy asked the people to fold their umbrellas. The entire crowd complied and magnificently displayed their faith and obedience. A few moments later, the sun broke through the clouds and Our Lady appeared above a small holm-oak. She asked for the conversion of sinners and, as in every apparition, she insisted on the daily recitation of the Rosary.

Then, suddenly, Lucy cried out: « Look at the sun! » In front of the stupefied crowd of people, the sun gyrated in on itself as if it were a fire wheel, turning various colors of the rainbow. This lasted nearly eight minutes but seemed like hours. This cannot be attributed to a collective hallucination, because the phenomenon was seen within a forty-kilometer radius by various individuals.

While the sun was spinning around, the three young shepherds, Lucy, Jacinta and Francisco alone saw a vision that symbolized the three sets of the mysteries of the Rosary:

- representing the Joyful Mysteries: St. Joseph appeared with the Child Jesus and Our Lady: St. Joseph and the Child Jesus were blessing the world;

- representing the Sorrowful Mysteries: Our Lord appeared with Our Lady of Sorrows;

- representing the Glorious Mysteries: the Virgin Mary in Heaven was seen holding the scapular of Mount Carmel.

The sun then turned blood red in color and seemed to fall from the sky and hurl itself towards the earth. Everyone believed that the end of the world had come. Then everything stopped – the sun returned to its normal place in the sky.

The people got up and noted another phenomenon: their soaked clothes were completely dry.

The non-believers had to acknowledge the reality of the facts. The following day, newspapers, including those most hostile towards the Church, all reported on the event.

What lessons may we draw today from this miracle?

The Miracle of the Sun: Lessons to be Drawn
The largest miracle in the entire history of the Church

Firstly let us observe the spectacular nature of this miracle. We must turn to the Old Testament to find similar prodigies that were performed in front of an immense crowd of people: such as the manifestation of God to Moses and to the Hebrew people on Mount Sinai (Ex 19); or when Joshua stopped the sun and the moon from advancing so that nightfall would not prevent the Jews from exterminating the enemies of Yahweh (Jos 10). The miracle of October 13, 1917 is assuredly the largest miracle in the entire history of the Church. Let us ask why.

The history of the Church is the history of the struggle between two cities: the city of God and the city of Satan:

 "These two Cities are made by two loves: the heavenly City by love of God even to the contempt of self; the earthly City by love of oneself even to the contempt of God (St. Augustin, The City of God)."

This magnificent synthesis of St. Augustine is nothing other than what is written in the Book of Genesis:

 "I will put enmities between thee [the snake] and the Woman [the Virgin Mary], and between thy seed and her seed [Our Lord; the Church]: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel [the persecutions of the Church] (Gen 3, 15)."

We are now living in the times when "the devil is fighting the decisive battle, meaning the final battle ", says Our Lady[2]. This is the day when the general assault of all anti-Christian forces is launched against the Church.

 "It is urgent that we realize the terrible reality that we are in. We do not wish to frighten people, but this is an urgent call to the reality of our situation, comments Sr. Lucy [3]."

And it is in order to draw our attention to this final phase of the history of the Church that Heaven produced the largest miracle of the past 2,000 years.

Paradoxically, the current Church authorities are totally silent on this event.

And so, in the year 2000, when Cardinal Ratzinger released to the public a questionable version of the third secret of Fatima, he made no allusion whatsoever to this miracle.

Why this silence?

The current Church authorities have not yet fulfilled the Virgin Mary’s request, and so it is understandable that they are embarassed by this miracle, which clearly proves the heavenly origin of this request. At the same time – could it be their guilty conscience? – these authorities feel obliged to talk from time to time about Fatima and to perform the consecrations of the world or of mankind. Pope Francis made one such consecration on October 13, 2013[4]. However, by not consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as Our Lady requested, the popes are unable to provide the world with the promised remedy, and the situation continues to get worse.

The Fatima apparitions are the key to understanding the entire history of our era

We will now move to the second important consideration: the Fatima apparitions are the key to understanding all the events of the 20th century and all that we are living through today, whether in the religious or political sphere. To be truly convinced of this, one only needs to read the authoritative work by French Br. Michel of the Holy Trinity, The Whole Truth about Fatima[5].

The troubles, the upheavals and the unprecedented decadence of our times are the direct consequences of the fact that churchmen have not yet wished to fulfill the request of Our Lady of Fatima:

 "I will come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and for the Five First Saturdays in reparation for the sins, said Our Lady on July 13, 1917. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If my requests are not granted, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions against the Church."

The October 1917 Revolution that took place immediately after the request of Our Lady of Fatima was not a simple coup d’état bringing about a regime change. The aim of the Revolution was especially « to spread throughout the world the institutions and the mores of atheism[6] », and the immorality that was to follow in its wake[7].

This Revolution occurred precisely during the huge conflagration of 1914 – 1918, which was the first Great War aiming to prepare for a one-world government. It is this that constitutes the errors of Russia: the creation of an atheistic society without Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the supreme assault against the Social Kingship of Our Lord. And we must admit that these errors have now spread throughout the entire world. No nation has been spared.

The only effective obstacle to this plan was the Church. In order to protect the Church and the world from this plot, the Virgin Mary requested Pope Pius XI in 1921, by the intermediary of Sr. Lucy, to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. The Pope did not believe the matter was worth pursuing. Ten years later Our Lord complained to Sr. Lucy:

 "Tell My ministers: because they are following the example of the king of France in delaying the fulfillment of My request, they will share in his tragedy[8]."

It was indeed during those years that an organisation was put in place by Moscow in order to infiltrate seminaries and novitiates with agents who had false vocations. These agents later reached influencial positions and gradually worked to effect a new orientation in the Church. This has been proven by a good number of documents. (We have provided references in an article about Fatima[9] in our review le Sel de la Terre.) The Pope having ignored the protection that Heaven was offering, the Church became the plaything of her enemies.

At the time of the Second Vatican Council, Moscow doubled the budget they allocated to the Pax organization, which was one of the principal agents of Communist infiltration into the Church[10]. Among other things, this group contributed to the attacks directed at the Curia during the Council[11].

We should therefore not be surprised that the two major documents passed by the Council, and not without opposition, were:

- the document on Religious Liberty[12], which sanctions the secularization of States, that is to say their becoming atheistic States, preventing the Social Reign of Our Lord and forbidding the constitution of officially Catholic nations;

- and the document Nostra Aetate[13] which, along with the decree on Ecumenism[14], leads to what we see today: churchmen who abandon missionary activities in order to work towards uniting all religions for the service of the atheistic and anti-Christian world government. Last October 1st, in an interview with the chief editor of the newpaper Repubblica in Italy, an interview which made huge waves, Pope Francis declared: « Proselytism [that is, missionary activity] is a pompous absurdity ». But this Ecumenism, which refuses the conversion of non-Catholics, leads to Religious Indifferentism, and Religious Indifferentism leads to Apostasy and to Atheism. That is what we see today in the entire world.

Yes, the errors of Russia have penetrated inside the Church.

The means chosen by God to redress the current situation

So, what must we do? And can we do anything, we who are so few?

We need to understand that God alone can now redress the situation. There is no longer any solution on the purely human level. But that does not mean that there is nothing for us to do: God always wants the co-operation of His creatures, but the co-operation must be in accordance with His plan.

The Two Battles

Some years ago an eminent traditional Catholic thinker summed up the situation very well when he said that there are two battles that must be fought at the same time:

1) We must fight in order to preserve our last holdings. It is obvious that we must above all maintain our chapels, our monasteries, our schools, our publications, our associations[15], and, generally speaking, we must hold on to our hope of salvation and to the orthodoxy of our Doctrine. This is the lower battle. It is a defensive battle, a battle where we hold our own against the enemy.

2) But on a level higher than these countless battles of self-preservation, a battle of the greatest importance has begun and whose objective is the transfer of power[16]. « I will reign in spite of My enemies », said the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret-Mary in 1689[17]; a promise that was renewed in the 19th and 20th centuries to a large number of mystics, in particular to Madame Royer in France. […] We may rest assured that today Our Lord is working mysteriously, as He always does, towards the destruction of the Beast and towards the restoration of His own Reign. This mysterious battle which is led by Christ the King constitutes the higher battle, and that is the principal objective[18].

The Lower Battle

Concerning the lower battle, the battle fought by men, Fr. Calmel O.P. had these enlightening words to say:

 "May each priest, each layman, each little group of priests and laymen, who have authority and influence over a small remnant of the Church and of Christendom go to the utmost of their possibilities and power. […] May the leaders of the small groups and their members know each other and communicate with each other. May each of these small groups thus protected, defended, led and guided in their prayer and chants by a true authority, become as much as possible a bastion of holiness: this is what will garantee the continuity of the true Church and what will efficaciously prepare for a revival, when the day chosen by God comes[19].

Let us note what Fr. Calmel says: our bastions must be bastions of holiness.

What is worrisome at the moment is not so much the advancement of the forces of evil, but rather the softening of the good. Actually, there’s probably a link between the two tendencies. Those who knew the heroic beginnings of Tradition with Archbishop Lefebvre note that today the traditionalists have become quite lukewarm in comparison to those heroic days: the slovenly manner of dressing, sinful and imprudent use of the Internet, weakening of the convictions among the young, the faithful who no longer read in order to maintain their Faith and to oppose errors, fewer people going on spiritual retreats, a proportional decrease in vocations, etc.

If our principal focus in this lower battle is not on our sanctification, we will not preserve our bastions. We will be swept away in the general apostasy. Let us be watchful, let us wake up!

The Higher Battle

Above this battle of self-preservation lies the higher battle whose goal it is to completely defeat the forces of evil. This is where God’s battle lies. And where do we stand in this battle?

There is but one simple action that each one must take. Our Lady confided that action to Sr. Lucy of Fatima:

 "Many times, while I was spending precious hours in her company, Our Lady insisted that we fulfill our daily duties according to our state in life and that we offer this effort for the reparation of our sins and for the conversion of sinners. This is the fundamental condition which will enable us to push back the forces of evil that threaten to submerge the world today and which will bring about the conversion of Russia and a period of peace to the world. But she also explained the importance of the Rosary because it is the one principal means given to us by Our Lady for the sanctification of our daily duties[20].

This is how we can truly and efficaciously participate in the final battle which will definitively crush the enemies of the Church. This is within everyone’s reach and that is very encouraging!

Conclusion

Let us conclude with the words of Abp. Lefebvre which he gave in a sermon in his last Pontifical Mass on November 1, 1990 in Écône on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the SSPX. This is his testament:

 "My dear Friends, you can easily see the importance of your role. […] You are a small remnant, but you carry the torch boldly. […] Ah! What a beautiful task, what a noble crusade lies ahead of you! The good God has placed you in a period of the history of mankind that is exciting for young people such as yourselves! It was just like this at the time of the Machabees when they left the corrupt Jewish society, and they too were very few. Judas Machabee with only eight hundred soldiers faced an army of twenty thousand – and he defeated them. And so, be confident, my dear Friends, God is with you. He will not abandon you, just as He has not abandoned us over the course of the last twenty years. Nor will He abandon you in the future because it is Himself that God wants. God does not want to disappear; He is God, He wants to remain God, not only in Heaven, but also here on earth. That is why He wants soldiers in His army.

The Consecration Requested by Our Lady in the Aparitions of Fatima and the Providential Mission of Russia

The Consecration Requested by Our Lady in the Aparitions of Fatima and the Providential Mission of Russia

By IGM at Cruzados translated by Michael Fuller

The Icon of Our Lady of Fatima in Russia

The consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, requested by the Virgin in the apparitions to the little shepherds of Fatima is still a topic that lends itself to controversy, denials and debates.  We believe it is not an issue that remains in the past, but, on the contrary, each day it becomes more relevant to our times.  Rather we attest that it raises the issue that the enemies firmly established within the conciliar church, which sedevacantists claim to oppose, disdain and disregard.

In the third apparition at Fatima, July 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin, after having showed the fate of the condemned souls in Hell, told the three shepherd children the following:

"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them[the souls of poor sinners who are on their way to hell], God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated."

The relationship between the mention of Russia in the message and the Bolshevik Revolution which took place a little later that year, was clear and as such the association between the evils of atheistic Communism that the revolution sought to spread throughout the world and the consecration of Russia was evident.  The message is more than clear about this.

However, in this apparition Our Lady did not ask for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. There she announced that she would return to request it.  She did shortly after in 1929.  Why? What is the relationship between that year and the request of the consecration?  If 1917 is marked by the apparition in Fatima and the Bolshevik Revolution, events which can and should be in relation to each other, what sense does it make or what did Heaven want us to know with the explicit request of the consecration of Russia made in 1929?

But before going into this question, first let us take a look at this request. On the 13th of June, 1929, Sister Lucy of Fatima, while a novitiate of the St. Dorothy Sisters in Tuy, Spain, witnessed another apparition of Our Lady, who was returning to fulfill that of the one announced in 1917.  This is what was said by Our Lady to Sister Lucy:

"The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns for sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray."

It is known that the consecration of Russia, as it had been requested by Our Lady, was never carried out.  There were consecrations of the world, but not the exclusive consecration of Russia by the Pope in union with all of the bishops of the world.

Some believe or teach that this consecration is no longer needed, since Russia has already spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church, so it would be useless to do the consecration.

Is this true?

The conclusion of the Secret of Fatima is:

"In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

But before that happens, there will be a great chastisement for the Church and the world.
This chastisement, according to the divine message, will begin in Russia:

"If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated."

However, the two opposing positions to the consecration of Russia give their reasons: the Liberals say it is not necessary since Communism has fallen in Russia; and some sedevacantists, that Russia has already chastised the world in the spreading of Communism, so the consecration would be unnecessary. For some, then, the request of the Virgin would have already been successfully fulfilled; for others, the chastisement arrived, so everything has come to pass.

Perhaps, to better understand the implications of the message, you have to think about the following: what is it that Russia will spread around the world?  What are these errors?  The answer seems obvious: Communism.  But, what is Communism?  Not an ideology, not a philosophy, not an economic system, not a form of government.  It is indeed this: "a conspiracy for revolution".  And this revolution ends in diabolical hatred of God.

We have taken the definition of Communism given in one of the key documents for understanding the revolution in the modern world, especially that of the history of the last hundred years.  We refer to the "Rakovsky interrogation", also known as " the Red Symphony" (the document that can be read on this is available in summary here or in full here).

What is it about?

In 1938, the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, during one of Stalin's purges against their trotskyist enemies, conducted an interrogation on the masonic Illuminati agent Christian Rakovsky, a reputed first class conspirator, partner of Trotsky in the Russian Revolution, and ambassador of Moscow in Paris.  Rakovsky is dealt with for an entire night, his life was at risk, with revelations that should have never come to light, but became known by extraordinary circumstances.  This agent of the Rothschild's explains for example that: "The aim of the Revolution is no less than to redefine reality in terms of the interests of the bankers. This involves the promotion of subjective truth over objective truth."  It is discovered that the power of money ("international imperialism of money" coined by Pope Pius XI) is what has been funding the anti-Christian revolutions and Communism from the very beginning. Regarding the revolution in Russia and the international banks having lost control of Stalin, the same international banks that financed the Soviet Revolution then financed Hitler in order to oppose the "Bonapartist" tyrant who had interrupted the rapid globalization of the revolution and took out Trotsky, and he was also soon out of action because of a deadly disease.  They thus opened the way to a war on two fronts, whose ultimate goal was to expand the Communist revolution on a global scale.  Then they loss control of Hitler, who began to issue his own money against the interests of international banks, forcing them to make an alliance with Stalin. Two dates are key in this revolutionary process; one on the 25th of October 1917, and the other on the 24th of October, 1929.

In the words of Rakovsky:

"Remember the morning of the 24th of October, 1929. The time will come when this day will be for the history of the revolution more important than October 1917. On the day of the 24th October there took place the crash of the New York Stock Exchange, the beginning of the so-called 'depression', a real revolution.

"Take note of the following: In that year 1929 the first year of the American revolution, in February Trotsky leaves Russia; the crash takes place in October...the financing of Hitler is agreed in July 1929. You think that all this was by chance? The four years of the rule of Hoover was used for the preparation for the seizure of power in the United States and USSR; there by means of a financial revolution, and here [Russia] with the help of war and the defeat [of Stalin] which was to follow..."

If the revolution had triumphed in 1917 in Russia, it was in 1929 when it triumphed completely in the USA and thus began the successful global expansion of the errors which arose in Russia.  Although one might think that already in 1913 with the fraudulent foundation of the Federal Reserve, the revolutionary and international usury had won by implanting itself into the economic levers of the country, it was in 1929 when the "American Classic" was enslaved to Wall Street and its moral crushed.

Exactly in between those two events that occurred that year, the departure of Trotsky, Rothschild agent to the USA, and the crash of October, there was the apparition of the Virgin in Tuy.  Shortly after her request, the bankers agreed to finance Hitler, a preparation of World War.

We should also pay attention to this detail, which seems significant: the interrogation of Rakovsky was held on the night of the 25th to the 26th of January, 1938 (from 9 pm to 3 am in Western European time).  In other words, the interview began after the appearance of the unknown light which Our Lady had announced would be seen in the sky as a warning and an announcement of the next war!

That war was being announced by an Illuminati agent that very night.  It was a war driven by the world communist revolution, whose arm was in Moscow, but whose brain resided in the United States (although both countries were pawns of the Zionist Jews, remember that in the same week that produced the Soviet Revolution the "Balfour Declaration" was materialized in London, which opened the doors to Zionism for the future occupation of Palestine).  All this was allowed by Providence as a chastisement to the rebellious men to God.

So then if we inevitably link the announcement of 1917 with the Russian revolution, we can relate the request made in 1929 with the other revolution of 1929, or rather, the other stage of the same revolution.  This is because those responsible were the same, with the sole purpose of ending all vestiges of the Christian order and the Catholic Church.  To achieve this they had to to work clandestinely ad intra the Church, on the one hand (they would triumph in the October Revolution of Vatican II, which started an October 11, 1962) and ad extra corrupting and crushing society's heirs of the Roman order of Christianity.

But then, why did Our Lady not request the consecration of the USA but only of Russia?   Has it not been the more successful model of the corruption of Anglo-American-Zionist wickedness than the formal system of Russian Communism, outdated since 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall?

The answer is this: Russia has a providential mission in history.

Universalism is a constant in its history and no one can deny that Communism is gaining strength or that it is valued in a country that not only has an imperial vocation, but also feels destined to perform universal "redemption".  Since the days of the czars, the Russians have believed they were destined to save Europe.  Tsar Alexander I fought against the doctrines of the French Revolution.  On several occasions Russia was a defensive safeguard for Christianity.  "No other people have felt so sharp and instinctive for not having done anything for this world", says Fr. Alfredo Sáenz in his book "De la Rus' de Vladimir al 'Hombre nuevo' sovietico" .  Vladimir Soloviev spoke about the historical and religious mission of Russia. "The distinctively religious character of the Russian people as well as the mystical tendency exhibited in our philosophy, our literature and our arts seem to indicate for Russia a great religious mission."(Russia and the Universal Church, op.cit.)  He also stated that the special vocation of Russia was "a power capable of taking up the work of Constantine and Charlemagne with better hope of success"(cfr. op. cit.).  Dostoevsky also took care to emphasize the universal mission of Russia.  Moreover, the threat of Russia to Europe had been pointed out by Napoleon Bonaparte, by the Marquis de Custine and Donoso Cortés, among others.  Being that Russia is the largest country in the world and is endowed with such totalitarian will, it is well understood that while being dominated by an inverted, satanic religion, like Communism, it could easily wipe out Europe.  Even more so if you consider that it has renounced its Christian identity.  Louis Veuillot said: "The world will be socialist or Christian, but it will not be liberal.  If liberalism does not succumb to Catholicism, which is its negation, it will succumb to socialism, which is its consequence" (cit. In A. Saenz, c).

The Spanish writer Juan Manuel de Prada says in an article: "Dostoevsky summarizes the Russian plan through the mouth of the ascetic Paisius in The Brothers Karamazov:  'according to certain theories only too clearly formulated in the nineteenth century, the Church ought to be transformed into the State, as though this would be an advance from a lower to a higher form, so as to disappear into it, making way for science, for the spirit of the age, and civilisation. And if the Church resists and is unwilling, some corner will be set apart for her in the State, and even that under control and this will be so everywhere in all modern European countries. But Russian hopes and conceptions demand not that the Church should pass as from a lower into a higher type into the State, but, on the contrary, that the State should end by being worthy to become only the Church and nothing else. So be it! So be it!’  Dostoevsky prophesied the Bolshevik revolution, anticipating its radically anti-Christian and inhumane sign as a divine punishment cast onto Russia for its purification; and he also prophesied the regeneration of the West, which could only be achieved through Russia.  And so he wrote in A Writer's Diary: 'The fall of your Europe is inevitable (...) All these parliamentary doctrines, all the civic theories professed today, all the accumulated wealth, all of this will be destroyed in an instant and disappear without a trace.'   With these words of Dostoevsky, those who are full of tertulian alfalfa will crave mystical-spiritual ruminations.  But in order to defend such ruminations many Russians shed their blood in the Gulag; and some after surviving the Gulag continued to defend these, such as Solzhenitsyn, who in The Oak and the Calf wrote: 'As for the West, there is no hope; indeed, we should never rely on the West.  If we get freedom, we will only owe it to ourselves.  If the twentieth century teaches a lesson to humanity, it will be us who will have given it to the West and not the West to us: the excess of well-being and an atmosphere of the contamination of shamelessness have atrophied the will and judgment.'" ("Por qué estamos con Rusia ",abc.es).

After visiting the USSR in the years that it was still communist, Father Sáenz wrote: "The fact that Marxism is a cosmovisional religion, although inverted, gives us hope that once the Soviets convert, they will retain that sense of totality that has nothing to do with totalitarianism, and again embrace the religion, this time the true religion, and not seclude it to the sacristy but instead try to impregnate it with all of their activities"(op. cit.).  And he quotes these little known words of the American Bishop Fulton Sheen.:

"When Russia receives the gift of faith, their mission will be that of an apostle for the rest of the world.  It will come together in giving faith to the rest of world. Why do we have such hope in Russia?  Why must it be the means of evangelizing the nations of the earth?  Because Russia has fire, Russia has zeal. God could do something with the hatred of Saul transforming it into love;  He could do something with the passion of Magdalena changing it into zeal; but God cannot do anything with those who are neither hot nor cold. These He will spew them out of His mouth.

"The great shame of our world is that we have the truth, but we have no zeal.  The Communists have zeal, but do not have the truth.  Communism is like a fire which spreads itself all over the world; it is almost like a reverse Pentecost.  Someday, instead of bowing ourselves to the earth that fire will start to burn upwards, ascending, in a genuine way like Pentecost, giving people joy, life and peace, instead of hatred, destruction and death.  Our Western world lacks that fire.  There is no longer profound and selfless love or consecrations to great causes ... We are cold, dull, apathetic."

The German Walter Schubart has written his part in "Europe and the Soul of the East" (1938): "Today, Western Christians, those who are by routine, speak with horror of the Russians fallen deeply, thinking while in their own superiority.  Nevertheless, I say: precisely how Russia is today is how it must be to give life to the new faith.  You have to fall to climb, and we must fall deeply in order to climb higher.  From the depths of evil and torment reckless roads part to the heights of holiness.  This is the Christian psychology of guilt.  From the most inhuman can come the most elevated.  When evil in a paroxysm of crime recognizes itself, it will pass suddenly to the will of regeneration. The Western Christian, Christian by custom, can be fair and honest, but not fruitful.  It is bourgeois-and the bourgeoisie is sterile.  It lacks the crown of thorns.  It is not in the equilibrium of the bourgeois world, but in the midst of the apocalyptic thunder where religion is reborn." And in another part of the same work: "The West gave humanity the most studied forms of technique, the state organization and communication; but it stole the soul.  The mission of Russia is to return it. Russia has precisely the spiritual forces that Europe lost or destroyed.  Russia is a piece of Asia and also a member of the Christian community of nations; therein lies the distinctness and uniqueness of its historic mission.  Only Russia reunites the conditions for infusing the soul again into a generation ravaged by the desire for power and stagnant in positivism. (...) It seems a bold statement, but it must be done with all resolve: Russia is the only country that can redeem and will redeem Europe, because in respect to the whole problem of life, it takes an opposite stance to that of all European peoples. Precisely from the very foundation of its suffering without example, it will draw a deeper understanding of man and the meaning of life, knowledge, and announce to the nations of the earth. The Russian has for himself psychological conditions today lacking from all Western nations."

Today Russia is living, after a period of post-communist transition, in a very outstanding rediscovery of traditional religious and cultural roots, asserting itself in the leadership of the court tsarist Vladimir Putin.  Facing the abysmal degeneration that occupies the apostate and sodomite West, Russia seems to embody the Christian values ​​abandoned by those defending the natural order, the family and the hierarchical sense of respect for authority and tradition.  "Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation." "Only God will judge them," Putin said in a speech in November 2013.

The post-Christian Western world is being formed today against Russia, because it sees there its antithesis and its "stumbling block".  If it must be removed so that the Antichrist is revealed, and both Rome and the Roman order have been defeated--previously having been undermined and corrupted by the forerunners of the Antichrist (liberalism in society, modernism in the Church, immorality, degeneration and widespread Satanism ), the New World Order can not yet be carried out, because there is something that hinders it.  The Roman order of traditional Christian values, though denigrated and not subject to Catholic orthodoxy, exists in Russia today, but to be able to resist completely and victoriously the conversion to Catholicism must occur in this country.

Returning to the errors that Russia will spread, we can see that what began in Russia, then moved to the United States, and in that Heaven warned us that if on the one hand Russia has a providential mission in its plans for chastisement- it will be a chastisement for the sins of the world and serve as a maker of peace and restoration with its conversion, on the other hand those errors that arose there would not be unique to Russia, although the spread of the same errors or their defeat does depend on the conversion of this country.  The delay in performing this consecration will bring great punishments.  Recall that Sister Lucy received this message in an intimate communication of our Lord:

"Make it known to My ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will follow him into misfortune."

The reference was to Louis XIV, who did not consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as requested by Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacocque, and later his descendant Louis XVI (who ended up doing it while imprisoned) was dethroned by the French Revolution and beheaded in 1793. * 

That same year, 1931, was the proclamation of the Second Republic in Spain, thus beginning the burning of churches and convents and the satanic anti-Catholic persecution by communists.

The Communist revolution which was orchestrated by the powers that be (which produced the two World Wars) could not bring to an end the religiosity of Russia by forcing atheism.  The subsequent attempt of wanting to implant the revolutionary,Western Liberalism after the fall of formal Communism (an attempt made by Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, Illuminati agents both born in 1931), also did not bring results.  And just the same as at the time when an obstacle called Stalin had emerged, now there is the new obstacle called Putin, although in an opposite way and therefore more dangerous, because he does not need terror in order to govern his country.  For that reason there is no other option than war for those who seek to create the New World Order of the Antichrist. Today things have been inverted and the tables have turned and although most do not notice, the satanic Revolution is embodied in the United States with their Zionist allies and what was formerly known as the "Christian West" has changed hemispheres, reaching towards Russia.

But the salvation of Russia also depends on the consecration to the Immaculate Heart.  This is why the Blessed. Virgin told Sister Lucy:

"The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to make the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. There are so many souls whom the Justice of God condemns for sins committed against Me, that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray."

We believe that this is the reason because in the absence of that consecration the next war would be devastating for Russia, with the reign of the Antichrist establishing itself on its ruins and the ruins of all Christendom.  However, the promise of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart sustains our hope. Sister Lucy has stated: "The Holy Father will do the consecration, but it will be late.  And yet, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will save Russia. This is certain."

Hence the principal importance of this devotion, even warning of the many positive signs in Russia and its reaction to Western wickedness, are not understood or emphasized.  Therefore, as Bishop Richard Williamson says: "However, let us be under no illusion: Russian Orthodoxy welds together religion and patriotism in a not wholly godly mixture, and Orthodoxy is still schismatic by refusing the Papal Supremacy, and heretical by refusing a number of dogmas, so Russians do need to be converted to the truly Universal or Catholic Church. But if Our Lady of Fatima has singled out their country for the Consecration to her Heart, may it not be, not because the Russians are still wicked Communists but because the Russian people's huge sufferings from their 70 Babylonian years of Communist captivity are calling forth from the always religious depths of "Holy Russia" an upsurge of spiritual vitality which could save the true Church, presently wilting in the West, where Church Authority may still have large numbers but it has little Faith, whilst the Traditional remnant has the true Faith but little by way of numbers and less by way of Authority?  God knows how the Western Church also needs conversion!

"May it then be Russia's smashing of the encirclement in a Third World War leading to its occupation of Europe, which will at last drive the Latin Pope to consecrate Russia to Our Lady's Heart, as she has so long been asking for in vain?  Will at that moment the Russians' renewed religious vigor save our languishing Catholic Authority and Tradition, whose Truth will in turn cleanse their errors ?  If so, then God will once again have "concluded all in unbelief, that He may have mercy on all...How incomprehensible are His judgments, and how unsearchable His ways... To Him be glory for ever" (Rom. XI, 32...36).

Catholics, mainstream and of Tradition, pray your hearts out for the Consecration of Russia to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, or "Theotokos" as she is known in the Eastern Church.
