Fatima in Lucia's Own Words: The Memoirs of Sister Lucia, the Last Fatima Visionary

by Lúcia of Fátima

“You have seen hell, where 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 reign 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. “In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved, etc…Do not tell this to anybody. Francisco, yes, you may tell him. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: ‘O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.’
