The fatima.org site has a petition that you can sign to urge Pope Francis to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary rather than just the world on October 13. Not much time left though. http://www.fatima.org/fathersdesk/lp/fdlp0913.asp All the drama about what the Pope did or did not say won't matter much if he actually does carry out the consecration of Russia as our Lady requested because then its all in her hands. One Mother of God on your side is worth more than a 1000 popes no matter how orthodox or holy they may be.
From the fatima.org page: And we know the Pope loves Our Lady! In a way, we made sure of it! When we went to Rome before the papal conclave, we lobbied all the Cardinals, stressing how important it was that we have a Marian Pope who would do as Our Lady of Fatima asked! The Cardinals elected Pope Francis. The day after his election he made a surprise visit to St. Mary Major, where he knelt before the Icon of Our Lady. We had reason then to believe that our prayers had been answered! Within weeks of his election, Pope Francis asked Cardinal Archbishop of Lisbon — twice! — to consecrate his papacy to Our Lady of Fatima! This consecration took place on May 13, at the Shrine of Fatima, with all the bishops of Portugal participating! No Pope had ever done this — not in the almost 100 years since the apparitions of Fatima! What could it mean? IT COULD ONLY MEAN THAT WE HAVE IN POPE FRANCIS THE HOLY FATHER WE HAVE WAITED AND PRAYED FOR! The Holy Father’s devotion to Our Lady swept like a fire of love through the world. Listen — - On June 8, the bishops of the Philippines consecrated their nation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! - On June 16, all the Eastern Catholic Patriarchs of the Middle East, along with Lebanon’s bishops consecrated Lebanon and the Middle East to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! - On August 15, the Cardinal Primate of all Ireland in the name of all the Irish bishops at the National Shrine of Our Lady at Knock consecrated Ireland to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Then, Pope Francis announced he intends to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in a solemn ceremony in Rome on Oct. 13, 2013 — the 96th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun!
Is it enough for him to consecrate or does he need all the bishops in all the world to do so as well? If he needs all bishops to join in then that would take a true miracle.
He needs to have the bishops join him I believe. Yes, it would be a miracle but that shouldn't be a problem for the one true church, right?
Has anyone tried to send this petition? I've sent it but the email given in Fr. Grunner's letter: pcpl@laity.va) is not recognized by my email program. I've changed it to pcpl@laici.va (after some search) and it was returned, because of "sender unknown".... Besides, my computer froze in the process .... Can anyone help???? Thanks
Hi Rosa, Some people believe that it does, but Our Lady of Fatima specifically asked for Russia to be consecrated. There are, myself included, many people who don't believe it was done correctly in the past and this question has often been discussed here.
