Both Ryan Grant and Michael Duddy are very close friends of mine. I encourage you all to listen to this interview: http://athanasiuscm.org/2014/08/25/interview-002-mike-duddy-on-fatima-and-the-3rd-secret/ Even if you are familiar with this topic, this interview really has some amazing details.
How many minutes it takes? Maybe tomorrow I will listen, thanks. Fatima is my favorite. View attachment 2203
http://www.spiritdaily.com/amorthfatima.htm If you have not made your First Saturday devotion to Our Lady, please do so, and let us promote this in our Parishes. If you do not have a First Saturday Mass, ask your Priests to do so or go to a nearby Parish that does have one. You can purchase First Saturday prayer cards from Love & Mercy Publications, PO Box 1160, Hampstead, NC 28443 www.loveandmercy.org It is good to circulate them around your Parishes. Please let us do our part and do what our Mother is asking of us! May God bless you.
I agree Lynn, to me that is the most important part- I found the article about Father Amorth interesting and while I really have no idea it rings true to me. I keep praying that what has to be done will be done as I don't profess to know either way if Russia was consecrated or not, however it is hard not to see what is happening in the world and not wonder whether it really should have been specifically Russia.
I started listening and then had to do something and then had to go in for surgery. I haven't had time. I hope to get to it sometime!! sorry! I hope others will listen!
This interview didn't surprised me, because I had read about these thing before. Mike Duddy said the second consecration of Pope Pius XII did "include Russia", but it was without the collegiality with the bishops. (Sorry, my english.) Well, what I've read the Pope didn't mention Russia by name. He said something like "the people who venerate icons". There are so much lies in internet and in books, so I'm not 100 % sure about this. It should be obvious to everyone that the consecration of Russia has not been made. No peace, no conversions etc. Besides the Virgin Mary in Fatima never asked the consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart. She asked only the consecration of Russia! I was so ashamed when I heard what Vatican said when "revealing" the 3rd secret. Oh, it was awful. And really amazing that some people, even the catholic priests, buy it. The Enemy has entered Vatican long time ago. Satan will do anything to try to destroy the Holy Catholic Church, but Jesus has promised that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) I agree that the 5 First Saturday Devotion is very important. We should ask Pope Francis to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In Portugal "the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved". That has always scared me... because it means that elsewhere it will NOT. I don't know how I can live, if the real presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in the most holy sacrament of Eucharist should be denied someday. Or if the consecration words referring to this should change. I pray this will never happen. We must pray for the purification of the Church and saintly priests and bishops. First of all pray for our Pope Francis. I love Sr Lucia! God knows how much she had to suffer for the unbelief of the people and for the indifference of the faithful for the Fatima messages. I consider Fatima apparitions to be the most important in the cause of Christian history. Saints Jacinta, Francesco and Lucia pray for us poor sinners! Amen.
I also do not know if the consecration was done as Our Lady requested or not, but our focus should be on the other half of her request - the First Saturdays. We need to do all we can possibly do to promote this - to our Priests and lay people (and even Bishops!). There is too much focus on whether the Consecration of Russia was accepted by Heaven and not enough on what we should be doing - fulfilling the rest of our Heavenly Mothers request. Please make your First Saturdays and make it known others.
I listened to the audio of Michale Duddy, and although he mentions the First Satuday devotion, once again the main focus of the interview was on the Consecration. Are we doing what Our Mother is asking of us???
You are right! Are we doing what Our Mother is asking of us. I think we should promote this devotion in our parishes and tell the priest about it also. Most of them think (I suppose) that Our Mother's request is not valid anymore. Fr Amorth about consecration: http://www.spiritdaily.com/amorthfatima.htm
Olaf, I already agree with much of what Mike Duddy shared. It makes me shutter to think of a diabolical disorientation taking place within the Church, but it certainly appears that the necessary steps to complete the consecration as requested by Mary have been interfered with by higher-ups within the Vatican. One question that grabbed my attention is whether or not we should look to 2029 rather than 2017 as the 100th anniversary of the consecration request. I had not considered that possibility before. Forward in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Here are two books I highly recommend to everyone who wants to know about Fatima: View attachment 2227 View attachment 2228 The words spoken by Our Lady in Fatima, go to link below and you can paste all apparitions and the apparitions of the Angels, too. Copy and paste to a Word documents and print. So you can read them when ever you want. I read them often. http://www.ewtn.com/Fatima/apparitions/. This is more informative. http://www.theotokos.org.uk/pages/approved/words/wordfati.html God bless U.
What pope Piux XII said during his consecration: "...Give peace to the people separated from us by error or by schism and especially to the one who professes such singular devotion to thee and in whose homes an honored place was ever accorded thy venerable icon (today perhaps often kept hidden to await better days); bring them back to the one fold of Christ under the one true shepherd...(page 67)" (Booklet: The Children of Fatima. Show Us the Way of Holiness and Peace. By Francis Barreto)
"Yet, in the midst of burned bodies, charred skeletons, and structural damage, just eight blocks from ground zero (exactly 1 kilometer or 6/10 of a mile), a two story Catholic presbytery miraculously remained intact with no apparent damage to it whatsoever, not even the windows were broken. When an investigation was made, it was discovered that there survived a community of eight German Jesuit priests who were all found unscathed, with only a few minor injuries." "Father Hubert Shiffer who headed the community was one of those Jesuit priests. He was 30 years old when the atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima and lived another 33 years in good health to tell the miracle. The same is said of the other seven priests of the community. Aside from some slight surface abrasions or scratches, they all lived out their days in full health with no radiation sickness, no loss of hearing, or any other visible long term defects or cancer from radiation. Father Shiffer was thoroughly examined and questioned by more than 200 scientists who were unable to explain how he and his companions had survived the atomic blast. He attributed the miracle to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He declared: "I was in the middle of the atomic explosion and I am still here alive and well. I was not struck down by its destruction." Furthermore, for several years hundreds of experts and investigators continued to study and investigate the scientific reasons as to why the presbytery house was not affected, and when asked, Father Shiffer remarked each time: "We believe that we survived because we were living the Message of Fatima. We lived and prayed the Rosary daily in that home." In 1976, at the Eucharistic Congress held in Philadelphia (USA), Father Shiffer publicly testified and recounted his experiences at Hiroshima. At that time, all eight members of the Jesuit community were still alive. In an interview with Fr. Paul Ruge, he describes the horrific nightmare of August 6, 1945: "Suddenly, a terrific explosion filled the air with one bursting thunder stroke. An invisible force lifted me from the chair, hurled me through the air, shook me, battered me, whirled me 'round and round' like a leaf in a gust of autumn wind." Fr. Ruge relates that the next thing he remembered was that he opened his eyes and found himself laying on the ground. He looked around and there was NOTHING in any direction: the railroad station and buildings in all directions were leveled to the ground. The only physical harm to himself was that he could feel a few pieces of glass in the back of his neck. As far as he could tell, there was nothing else physically wrong with himself. According to Dr. Stephen Rinehart, a nuclear physicist with the U.S. Department of Defense who had studied this phenomenon intently, they should have been dead in a flash. In his commentary on the Hiroshima blast he states: "Their residence should still have been utterly destroyed (temp; 2000 F and air blast pressures; 100 psi). In contrast, unreinforced masonry or brick walls (representative of commercial construction) are destroyed at 3 psi, which will also cause car damage and burst windows. At 10 psi, a human will experience severe lung and heart damage, burst eardrums and at 20 psi your limbs can be blown off. Your head will be blown off by 40 psi and no residential or unreinforced commercial construction would be left standing. At 80 psi even reinforced concrete is heavily damaged and no human would be alive because your skull would be crushed. All the cotton clothes would be on fire at 350 F (probably at 275 F) and your lungs would be inoperative within a minute breathing air (even for a few seconds) at these temperatures."
The jesuits' cat survived too. I think he or she was out at the time of the atomic bomb exploded. Does anyone remember reading about this?
