Many people, unfortunately, do not realize that Jesus and Mary are depending
on them. The world is getting worse and many souls are being spiritually lost
every day. Many souls are going to hell.
You have been given many graces through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross,
and through Our Lady's pierced Immaculate Heart. We must reflect on the fact
that although each one of us is unworthy of the great graces of knowing,
believing and understanding the Fatima message in this time of apostasy, we
have nevertheless been specially chosen.
We cannot hide these talents that Jesus and Mary have given us - we must do
our part.
Of course our first act of cooperation with these graces, of allowing Jesus to use
us, is to pray and sacrifice as Our Lady taught us at Fatima. But we are also
called upon to work, to do our part by the sweat of our brow.
To this end do all you can to be informed about the full Fatima message and to
make it known to many others. [As Sister Lucy tells us, each person must
"begin to reform himself spiritually. Each person must not only save his own
soul but also all the souls that God has placed in our path"].
We can do this by making extra copies of this issue of The Fatima
Crusader available to our friends and neighbors.
But besides all these good works we should also do whatever else we can to
bring about the Triumph of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. It is only through the
act of obedience of the Pope and the bishops to the solemn command to
consecrate Russia as given to them by God Himself through Our Lady of Fatima
- that Our Lady's victory will take place. It is only in this way that devotion to
Our Lady's Immaculate Heart will be finally established in the world.
Our Lady tells us "Jesus wishes to use you to make Me known and loved". You
can do a lot more than you think. Ask Our Lady to show you how. She will lead
you if you let Her. Ask Her to guide you and confide yourself and your work to
Her care. Consecrate and reconsecrate yourself to Her Immaculate Heart
especially in these apocalyptic and apostate times.

"Modern times" St. Maximilian Kolbe used to say, "are dominated by satan and
they shall be so even more in the future .... The Immaculate One alone has
received from God the promise of victory over satan but being in the glory of
Heaven, She needs us today to work together with Her. She seeks souls
consecrated entirely to Her and become in Her hands a force to conquer satan
and to become under Her direction, an effective means for establishing the
Kingdom of God".
But we know that it is only "by this means" that is, by the Consecration of
Russia as Our Lady of Fatima commanded - that the Kingdom of God will be
established. Therefore let us renew our resolve to do all we can to bring this
about. To this end I answer here some specific questions about what you can do
to help the Pope and the bishops bring about the fulfillment of this most
important, most urgent Request of Our Lady of Fatima.
petitions from around the world for the definition of the Assumption in 1950.
Petitions are also encouraged in order to obtain the canonization of the Saints.

A: Yes. It will help all of us. For some of us and our loved ones it may be the
one factor that causes us to save our souls from the eternal fires of Hell. I will
explain briefly.
The Catholic faith is the foundation of our salvation. We are obliged to defend
our faith against any attack. If we lose our faith we lose our eternal salvation.
But our faith is being undermined today from within the Church. Our Lady
warned us of this in the Third Secret so that we would not be deceived into
losing our faith. Today, because the Third Secret has not been officially
revealed, many of the Faithful have lost the faith and cannot be saved unless
they effectively repent and regain it before they die. Still more souls will be lost
if the Third Secret is not revealed soon.

A: Yes. If you forward them to us we will make a copy before sending them on
to the Pope. If for any reason they are not delivered to the Pope through our
first channel, we can send the copies through another channel.
If enough people sign petitions, even before they reach the Holy Father, he will
hear of them because such a large number of voices cannot be hidden from
him.
Q: Is not the Holy Father infallible and therefore how can you
suggest that he has not done his duty?
A: Yes, the Pope is infallible. That was solemnly defined by Vatican Council One
in 1870. That means that when the Pope pronounces by his Solemn Magisterium
or by his Ordinary and Universal Magisterium Ex-cathedra on Faith and Morals
he cannot make a mistake in what he teaches.
But Catholic teaching and Church History also make clear that the Pope can
err in matters of faith and morals, even in public pronouncements, when he
does not engage his papal magisterial authority. Furthermore in the governing
of the Church there is no guarantee that the Pope will not make errors in
judgment. This is further explained in Father Paul Leonard's article on page 5 of
our Special Report.
Therefore it is entirely possible for a Pope or several Popes to not fulfill their
duty. And that is the case with regard to the Consecration of Russia.

Q: Has the Pope done all he can to fulfill this most solemn duty of
his?
A: No. He has not. But he has been convinced by his advisors (some of whom, I
think, do not believe in Our Lady of Fatima) that he has done all he can. The
Pope has, in January 1991, publicly stated he did all he could to stop the war in
the Gulf, but if he had done the Consecration of Russia, the Gulf War would
never have taken place. He thinks that he can do no more because he is
opposed by some bishops and he does not seem to know how to overcome their
opposition.

2) That he order the bishops to do the same, in union with him and at the same
time.
The Pope ultimately really need not concern himself about the obedience of the
bishops if he gives them the order correctly.
A: He can reveal the Third Secret which spells out quite clearly the guilt of
certain Bishops and Cardinals for the present state of apostasy within the
Church. By making it public it will be a moment of grace.
Those bishops who have gone on the wrong path and have misled their flock will
either repent or rebel openly. They will either become Catholic again or declare
their break with Rome more openly. Thus the Pope need not worry about those
who pretend to be Catholic but really have already left the Church. Now he will
know and so will the faithful. Then the Church which is presently divided against
itself can heal its internal wounds and work in unity towards fulfilling Our Lady
of Fatima's requests. If the internal divisions go on without healing, the Church
will not stand because Jesus told us "A house divided against itself cannot
stand."
