long but WORTH IT!! This first talk will try to connect the historical dots beginning with the well-known locution of Pope Leo XIII at the end of the 19th Century to try to see the outline of the final conflict between God and the Kingdom of darkness that is rebelling against Him. The rebellion is led by Satan and God has delegated leadership of the host of heaven to the Blessed Mother with Archangel Michael. Paul's reference in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 to the Mystery of Iniquity being already at work in secret, and God's allowing the deception of deliberate nonbelievers and the unrighteous, is echoed in the Blessed Mother's warning to Sister Lucia of Fatima of a diabolical disorientation within the Church contributing to a future apostasy, and of our Mother's prophesy in 1961 to the four Garabandal visionaries that they would later contradict one another and come to doubt having experienced the visions as part of the same confusion that now exists in the Church.
This first will focus on the 1st and 2nd parts of the Secret of Fatima; especially the vital importance of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Consecration of Russia. The second will consider the claims of the Vatican's 26 June 2000 publication, The Message of Fatima, that John Paul II's 1984 consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary has been accepted by heaven as fulfilling Mary's request at Fatima for the papal consecration of Russia, and to have fully revealed the 3rd part of the Fatima Secret. It will then consider the Tribulation, the Warning, and the Miracle and the “Chastisement prophesied by the Blessed Mother at Garabandal and Akita, and suggest personal spiritual preparation for them.
I want to assure you that I love each one of the popes I refer to. We must be merciful as Christ is merciful to obtain mercy we must love one another; especially our pontiffs even in our miseries and pray for them as Mary prays for us.
On 13 October 1884 Pope Leo XIII had just finished celebrating holy Mass when he fell into a mystical state and heard Satan boast to Jesus that he could destroy his Church if Jesus would give him power for 100 years over all those who would serve him. Jesus agreed! Leo became pale with alarm and wrote a strong prayer invoking God's protection of his Church through Archangel Michael and his heavenly cohort. This prayer, modified in 1930, was said by all the faithful after low mass throughout the church until 1971.
Satan began this final battle in Holy Russia in 1905 seizing on existing social, economic and political injustice as the opportunity to foment violent uprisings. On 22 January 1095 thousands of impoverished Muscovites carrying only religious icons and led by an Orthodox priest converged on the Winter Palace of their Tsar with five petitions: amnesty for those already arrested, certain civil liberties, a living wage, gradual land reform and universal suffrage. In response the Tsar's Cossacks attacked the unarmed petitioners killing over 1,000. That provoked mutiny in the navy and a peasant revolt that involved up to 2,800,000 persons by the time order was restored in December. But the underlying issues of injustice were not resolved and discontent seethed until the "Great War" of 1914-1918 was nearing its end.
In mid March of 1917 revolution began in Russia within the armed forces. Within two weeks the Bolshevik Lev Trotsky had boarded a ship in New York for Russia. In April Vladimir Lenin with a small contingent of his Bolsheviks was secretly returned from thirteen years of voluntary exile in Switzerland through Germany and Sweden in a sealed railway car by Kaiser Wilhelm, intending to further destabilize Russia. The Bolsheviks gradually gained control of the revolutionaries and were able to control most of the government by October 1917. After three more years of brutal civil war the Bolsheviks had totally replaced the autocracy of the Christian Czar with the totalitarianism of satanic dictatorship. Terror and the Gulag were added to a new system of social, economic and political injustice, but now directed against God and his Church, and all opposition.
Satan's pride compelled him to reveal his hand in the destruction of Holy Russia from the start of the revolution. In 1905 when Catherine de Hueck Doherty was a nine year old girl living comfortably with her family in rural Russia, it was customary for pilgrims to walk long distances to pray at its many shrines. One evening a single old woman pilgrim sought shelter at the farm of Catherine's family and the family and servants eagerly gathered by kerosene lamps around a crackling fireplace to hear tell of her pious adventures. Well into the evening, after relating many blessings received at the holy shrines, the woman told of passing through a thick forest with a growing sense of an evil presence that even set the forest creatures on edge. Around a bend another road joined hers and a single man walking in her direction joined her.
Although she sensed some evil about him he behaved well. He didn't use a Christian greeting, just calling her Granny. When she told him of her holy pilgrimage he laughed about religion being superstition fed to peasants by priests to pacify them to accept the many injustices that afflicted them. He was eloquent and persuasive and she soon began to believe him. Then he began mocking the Blessed Mother and calling the virgin birth fiction and devotion to Mary idolatry. She quietly took a small bottle of holy water and sprinkled him with it in the name of Jesus and the Holy Trinity. He screamed, fell twisting to the ground an before vanishing cried out: "You old fool! All Russia will be covered with rivers of blood over the things I've said. Millions will think like I do. There will be moaning and groaning and tears all over this land. I am out to win it and win it I will. And neither your God nor your Blessed Virgin will be able to save it."
The old woman fainted in terror. Awakening, she continued walking cautiously.
Suddenly, there was a very great light on the road, and a young woman, dressed just like me in a pilgrim's garb, with an icon on her breast, came up gently to my side. 'Fear not, Grandma, ' she said, 'it is true what the man said, but he as not a man. These things will come to pass so that Holy Russia may hang on the cross with my Son to redeem the world. The only way the world can be redeemed is through suffering with my Son. Fear not. There will come a day when, under the sign of my Son, I will lead Russia to show my Son's face to the world.' Then she vanished too, and I saw the lights of the village.
Like the blasphemy Goliath hurled against God, Satan's blasphemy against Christ echoes through our times waiting for a modern David to crush him to uphold the honor of God. Young David had only five smooth stones and his skill with his sling. Yet his faith and his courage vanquished Goliath because God was with him! As we shall see, our Pontiffs have the promise of Jesus' Holy Mother Mary that when the Pope together with his Bishops solemnly consecrates Russia to her Immaculate Heart, and leads the Church in First Saturday reparatory devotions to her Immaculate Heart, and leads the Church in First Saturday reparatory devotions to her Immaculate heart, she will convert Russia and a period of peace will be granted to the world. Is that not the "day when, under the sign of my Son, I will lead Russia to show my Son's face to the world" prophesied by Mary to the pilgrim in Catherine Doherty's story? Is not this leadership of the Blessed Mother in the Church's war against Satan prophesied in Genesis 3:15-16 and Revelation 11:19-12:6, 13-17?
