MARY'S WORDS AT FATIMA
13
May 1917
"Do
not be afraid, I will not harm you."
"I
come from heaven."
"I
have come to ask you to come here for six months on the 13th day
of the month, at this same hour. Later I shall say who I am and
what I desire. And I shall return here yet a seventh time."
"Are
you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings
He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the conversion
of sinners?"
"Then
you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of God will
be your comfort."
13
June 1917
"Say the Rosary every day, to bring peace to the world and
the end of the war."
"I
want you to come on the 13th of next month, [July] to pray the Rosary
every day, and to learn to read. Later, I will tell you what I want."
"If
he is converted, he will be cured during the year." (reference
to a sick person)
"I
will take Jacinta and Francisco shortly; but you will stay here
for some time to come. Jesus wants to use you to make Me known and
loved. He wishes to establish the devotion to My Immaculate Heart
throughout the world. I promise salvation to whoever embraces it;
these souls will be dear to God, like flowers put by Me to adorn
his throne."
"No,
my daughter. Are you suffering a great deal? Don't lose heart. I
will never forsake you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge
and the way that will lead you to God."
13
July 1917
"I want you to come here on the 13th of next month, [August]
to continue to pray the Rosary every day in honour of Our Lady of
the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of
the war, because only she can help you."
"Continue
to come here every month. In October, I will tell you who I am and
what I want, and I will perform a miracle for all to see and believe."
"Sacrifice
yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially when you
make some sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion
of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary."
"You
have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them,
God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.
If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there
will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease
offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate
of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light,
know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about
to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and
persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.
"To
prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia
to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First
Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted,
and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout
the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good
will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various
nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will
triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will
be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
"When
you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: 'O my Jesus, forgive
us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially
those who are most in need.' "
August
1917
"Go again to the Cova da Iria on the 13th and continue to say
the Rosary every day.
"Pray,
pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls
go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and pray
for them."
13
September 1917
"Continue to pray the Rosary in order to obtain the end of
the war. In October Our Lord will come, as well as Our Lady of Dolours
and Our Lady of Carmel. Saint Joseph will appear with the Child
Jesus to bless the world. God is pleased with your sacrifices. He
does not want you to sleep with the rope on, but only to wear it
during the daytime."
"Yes,
I will cure some, but not others. In October I will perform a miracle
so that all may believe."
13
October 1917
"I want to tell you that a chapel is to be built here in my
honour. I am the Lady of the Rosary. Continue always to pray the
Rosary every day. The war is going to end, and the soldiers will
soon return to their homes."
