From a certain point of view, the contemporary era is one of mysteries.
The Second World War, for example, was a war of mysteries. No war has
been so shrouded in mysteries than WWII. To cite only two examples:
How can the fall of France to Germany be explained? France had built the
supposedly impregnable Maginot Line, which was a kind of Chinese Wall
to protect itself from any German invasion. Why didn’t the French
people, one of the most intelligent and courageous peoples in the world,
protect their borders with Belgium? But they did not, and the Germans
invaded France from there. It is even more difficult to explain given
that the Germans had already invaded France in WWI in exactly the same
way, through Belgium.
Another mystery surrounds the capture of Rudolph Hess on his way to
Scotland. Hess was a Deputy Führer and considered the heir to Hitler. At
a certain moment, the news reported that he was in a small plane flying
over England and Scotland, the plane crashed, he parachuted out, and
broke his leg on landing. Since he could not walk, he was captured. What
was a man of the importance of Hess doing on such a dangerous flight,
unprotected, at a time when England and Germany were at war? A mystery.
Another mystery of our era regards the Fatima message. At Fatima in 1917
Our Lady confided a secret message to Sister Lucy to be revealed to the
world at a certain prescribed time. This secret message was linked to a
public one, which she gave the three young seers. She confided the
secret to Lucy, who was supposed to reveal it or give to others to
reveal at a certain moment. It is a prodigiously important mission, to
have a message from Our Lady. Our Lady wanted to warn mankind about some
very important things. This was the reason for the secret.
Our Lady left one of the seers on earth to be in charge of this secret
and either speak out at the proper moment and make it known, or tell
someone in authority that the moment to reveal it had arrived. I have
never heard of anything like this in the 20 centuries of the History of
the Church. A person received a message from Our Lady in 1917, and until
today, 1977, 60 years later, the secret has not been revealed.
During these 60 years, the decadence in customs predicted by Our Lady in
Fatima has risen to an unimaginable degree. The Communism foreseen by
Our Lady took power in Russia and spread throughout the world. And this
enigmatic messenger has remained quiet. On one occasion, she did have
some words to say. It was when a remarkable display of aureole borealis
was visible across Europe in 1938, a year before World War II began.
When this occurred, Sister Lucy from her cloister in Spain spoke out and
said that this was the sign given by God that a chastisement of mankind
was imminent. Then, afterwards, again she was quiet. Time is passing,
world events have reached a crucial stage, but she remains silent. It is
a mystery hanging over the secret.
What we can realize is that a message with these special conditions must
be a very important one, a key-revelation of human history.
Can one at least conjecture the content of this message? Nothing forbids
one from doing so. There are certain indications that lead one to
conclude that this secret is an addendum to the revelations of Fatima
that are already known. Both messages were given on the same occasion,
by the same person to the same person. Also, several parts of the known
message of Fatima are not entirely clear and seem to require further
explanation. Now then, a confidential addendum to a known message
normally addresses the same topic. Someone who writes a letter and adds a
post-scriptum usually touches on some aspect of the letter’s
topic. The unity of the revelation of Our Lady induces one to suppose
that this would be the case with regard to the message she gave.
These are the topics addressed in the known message: an enormous sin
committed by mankind that becomes increasingly worse; a chastisement
being prepared for that sin. She foretold that if mankind would convert,
then “Russia will be converted, and there will be peace. If not, Russia
shall spread her errors throughout the world, promoting wars and
persecution of the Church; the good will be martyred, the Holy Father
will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.”
Our Lady confided the secret message to Lucy, right

We can see that Russia plays a decisive role in the message. It brings
either the reward or the chastisement for mankind. Therefore, this part
leads one to think that the secret also relates in some way to Russia
and its errors, that is, Communism. You can see that there is a mystery
about Russia. One could suppose the secret would give a word of
clarification on it.
The progressivists and revolutionaries do not like to speak about
Fatima. Almost no progressivist priest gives a sermon on Fatima. There
is a kind of tacit prohibition to speak about it. It seems they suspect
that something in the secret would oppose their movement. Do they know
the secret?
It is currently said that the secret is given to each new Pope to read.
So, the Pope knows it, and also has the right to reveal it to anyone he
chooses. To whom would Paul VI possibly have given the secret to read?
We can easily conjecture that it would not be to anyone on the right. He
probably revealed it to elements of the left. So, one can suppose that
Progressivism knows about it and does not want to speak about it.
What we have, then, is this situation: Our Lady wants the secret to be
revealed; her enemies want to keep it hidden. Why does Our Lady permit
her adversaries to contradict her will? A mere glance from her would
suffice, and all the devils would flee in terror. An Angel could appear
to Sister Lucy and open the door of her convent like the Angel that
opened the door of the prison of St. Peter, and order her: “Leave this
place and announce the secret.” Why doesn't Our Lady exercise her power
over the Devil? Why doesn’t God send an Angel to liberate Sister Lucy?
Here we have another mystery. There is a mysterious design of God
whereby He allows the Devil to obscure the light of Fatima.
It is an invitation for the sons and daughters of Our Lady to try to
understand the secret by a reasonable analysis. This is what we are
doing here.
Let me go a step further. The reason for a secret to be held back with
this extraordinary care must be that it is extraordinarily harmful to
the enemy. What secret could be so damaging to the enemy? What things,
if said in 1917, could be harmful for the Church, and if said today,
could cause the defeat of the enemies of the Church? The answer to this
question can shed light on the secret’s content.
In 1917 Our Lady could have told Lucy to reveal the secret at that time.
But she did not, because this would have damaged the Church. So, in the
secret is something that was harmful to the good then, and is harmful
to the evil today. What would that be?
A probable answer to this question could be the decadence that has
entered the Catholic Hierarchy today as a chastisement of mankind. If
this situation would have been revealed in 1917, it would have caused
scandal and countless apostasies. But if it were revealed now, it could
certainly damage Progressivism.
Imagine if this were the secret:
“My children, in the near future a time will come when a weakened and
disoriented Communism will lose its influence over public opinion, but
it will be supported and re-installed by the Pope, Cardinals, countless
Bishops, priests, and religious men and women. You must resist them! To
fight for the Papacy and the Hierarchy is to fight against the bad
orientation they are giving the Church.”
This could be the secret.
Isn’t it true that this could produce an extremely healthy reaction
among Catholics and in Russia that could change the situation? I
certainly think so.
A mystery shrouds the Fatima secret
|
How will the secret be revealed? Will Sister Lucy be the necessary
messenger to reveal the secret? These are other mysteries. Our Lady told
Jacinta that Sister Lucy would go to Heaven. I do not know if she has
to reveal the secret, or if the secret could be revealed by another
source. At any rate, her existence is extremely valuable to prevent a
false secret from being presented as the true one. I think the enemies
could very well invent a false secret. The only guarantee we have for
this not to happen is her witness.
Some time ago during Paul VI’s pontificate, a news item reported that a
thief entered the Vatican and stole, among other things, the sealed
envelope that contained the secret of Fatima from the special room where
it was kept. As far as I know, the report was never denied. So it can
be that the secret is no longer with Sister Lucy but somewhere else,
with this thief. If this is true, then Our Lady can find a way for this
envelope to be found and opened. This could be the atomic bomb of Our
Lady. She would be reserving it to drop on the public at a certain
moment. We should ask her to use this weapon she has held in reserve for
so long.
In one of his famous dreams, St. John Bosco saw the enemy entering the
Vatican; the Pope, followed by a multitude of Bishops, priests,
religious men and women were leaving the Vatican, immersed in a cloud of
smoke that became increasingly dense. The Pope was acting like a mad
man in the dense fog of smoke. Then, an Angel appeared and spoke to the
Pope, advising him to fight against the invading enemy. The Pope
followed the counsel and returned to the Vatican. The smoke disappeared,
and the enemy was defeated.
One is induced to ask if this dream has a symbolic sense. Does it
represent a Pope who abandons the Catholic cause, and the Church that
enters a period of confusion and obscurity?
The question is: Is the secret of Fatima related to such a situation? If
it is, then instead of a policy of flight and conciliation, shouldn’t
the Vatican adopt a strategy of a strong fight against the enemies of
the Church who are within?
You can see how the dream of St. John Bosco and the secret of Fatima may be harmoniously linked.
I end these comments on the mystery of Fatima by suggesting that you pray to Our Lady to find a way to reveal her secret.
