message of fatima and the three days of darkness

A dark wind blew everywhere. The Bishop of Leiria informed Sister Lucia of this. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated'. She repeated her conviction that the vision of Fatima concerns above all the struggle of atheistic Communism against the Church and against Christians, and describes the terrible sufferings of the victims of the faith in the twentieth century. There is something more: from the suffering of the witnesses there comes a purifying and renewing power, because their suffering is the actualization of the suffering of Christ himself and a communication in the here and now of its saving effect. The Church considers the Apocalypse as Divinely inspired and remains to be the last prophetic work She acknowledges as such.

Mt 21:16). A person who foretells what is going to happen responds to the curiosity of the mind, which wants to draw back the veil on the future.

This protection seems also to be linked to the so-called third part of the secret of Fatima. It is clear from the above two revelations that God had forewarned mankind of a great and terrible chastisement. Such visions therefore are never simple photographs of the other world, but are influenced by the potentialities and limitations of the perceiving subject. A small number of lay persons and clergy would defend it against a larger number trying to destroy it by introducing devastating changes. Sister Lucia responded by pointing out that she had received the vision but not its interpretation. Since the Pope was unable to be present, his recorded Address was broadcast. After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. Sister Lucia personally confirmed that this solemn and universal act of consecration corresponded to what Our Lady wished (Sim, est feita, tal como Nossa Senhora a pediu, desde o dia 25 de Maro de 1984: Yes it has been done just as Our Lady asked, on 25 March 1984: Letter of 8 November 1989). On the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29, 1820, she saw Saint Peter descending from heaven, robed in papal vestments and surrounded by a legion of angels. This too is the message of Fatima which, with its urgent call to conversion and penance, draws us to the heart of the Gospel. It is the vision as a whole that matters, and the details must be understood on the basis of the images taken in their entirety. The insistent invitation of Mary Most Holy to penance is nothing but the manifestation of her maternal concern for the fate of the human family, in need of conversion and forgiveness (Pope John Paul II, Message for the 1997 World Day of the Sick, No. Just as the places of the earth are synthetically described in the two images of the mountain and the city, and are directed towards the cross, so too time is presented in a compressed way.

This does not mean that a private revelation will not offer new emphases or give rise to new devotional forms, or deepen and spread older forms. The Second Vatican Council notes three essential ways in which the Spirit guides in the Church, and therefore three ways in which the word grows: through the meditation and study of the faithful, through the deep understanding which comes from spiritual experience, and through the preaching of those who, in the succession of the episcopate, have received the sure charism of truth (Dei Verbum, 8). The interpretation, she said, belonged not to the visionary but to the Church.
