0:03In light of the increasingly frequent
0:05misinformation regarding the responses
0:07of Pope John Paul II and the bishops to
0:09Our Lady of Fatima’s call , I wish to
0:11once again cite the letter from Father
0:13Dr. Lio Ianuzzi , this time in his more
0:15detailed version dedicated to this
0:17matter . I remind you that Father Dr.
0:24Elio Ianuzzi is an American Catholic
0:26priest , theologian , and specialist in
0:28the fields of mystical theology ,
0:30dogmatics , and patristics , and a
0:32graduate of the Pontifical Gregorian
0:34University . He participated in the work
0:37of the commission regarding the
0:39beatification of saints . He is also
0:41known for his expert knowledge
0:43regarding the writings of the Italian
0:45mystic , Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
0:47, as well as the writings of Vassula
0:49Ryden on True Life in God . Sister Lucia
1:01clearly stated no less than six times
1:04that the consecration of the world and
1:06Russia by Pope John Paul II in 1984 was
1:11accomplished once and for all in
1:13accordance with Mary’s request from
1:15Fatima . She also said that if there
1:19were bishops who , due to poor health or
1:21other reasons , did not participate in
1:23this consecration , it was nonetheless
1:25fully accepted by Mary . Thirdly , the
1:30consecration was done correctly . God is
1:35not a legalist who demands slavish
1:36adherence to His will above all else ,
1:38regardless of specific circumstances .
1:43Certain issues arising at the last
1:45minute or extraordinary situations can
1:47change our plans . But God , in His
1:51gentleness , takes into account all
1:53conditions and circumstances and adapts
1:55to us in our imperfection . Mary has
1:59repeatedly proven this by appearing to
2:01uneducated visionaries whose knowledge
2:03of grammar was poor . They even went so
2:09far as to speak from heaven to
2:10Bernadette in a poor dialect of French ,
2:12to Piccarreta in a poor dialect of
2:14Italian , and to the three shepherd
2:16children in simple , poor Portuguese ,
2:18and so on . From a more practical point
2:24of view , let us now look at the fruits
2:26of the consecration of March 25 , 1984 ,
2:33which Lucia confirmed was done
2:34according to Our Lady’s request , and
2:36was carried out to see if these are
2:38good fruits . For Jesus Himself revealed
2:43: " Every good tree bears good fruit ,
2:45and a bad tree bears bad fruit . "
2:48Following this consecration , the
2:49following events took place . On May 13 ,
2:541984 , one of the largest crowds in the
2:56history of the site gathered at the
2:58Fatima sanctuary to pray the Rosary for
3:01peace . On May 13 , 1984 , an explosion at
3:08the Soviet naval base in Severomorsk
3:10destroyed 2/3 of all missiles
3:11stockpiled for the Soviet Northern
3:13Fleet . The blast also destroyed
3:17workshops essential for missile
3:18maintenance and took the lives of
3:20hundreds of scientists and technicians .
3:25Western military experts described this
3:27event as the most serious disaster for
3:29the Soviet Navy since World War II .
3:33Again , in December 1984 , the Soviet
3:38Minister of Defense , the chief
3:40strategist for the plans to invade
3:41Western Europe , died unexpectedly and
3:43under mysterious circumstances . On
3:46March 10 , 1985 , the leader of the
3:51Soviet Union and member of the
3:53Communist Party , Chairman Konstantin
3:55Chernenko , died . On March 11 , 1985 ,
4:02Mikhail Gorbachev was elected as the
4:04leader of the Soviet Union . April 26 ,
4:081986 That year saw the disaster at the
4:14Chernobyl nuclear power plant , which
4:16potentially prevented a nuclear attack
4:18during the Cold War . On April 26 , 1987 ,
4:25the first anniversary of the Chernobyl
4:27disaster , reports emerged of the
4:29Blessed Virgin Mary appearing to a 12 -
4:31year-old girl , Maria Kisn , and
4:33subsequently to thousands of adults at
4:35the Holy Trinity Chapel in the small
4:38Ukrainian village of Hrushiv , located
4:40530 km southwest of the Chernobyl
4:42disaster site . In an article published
4:50in August 1987 , Literaturnaya Gazeta
4:52stated that over 100,000 people had
4:54arrived in the village within the first
4:56month . Although Soviet authorities
5:01closed the chapel where the apparition
5:03took place , the newspaper reported that
5:05up to 45,000 believers visited the site
5:07each day . On May 12 , 1988 , an explosion
5:14destroyed the only factory producing
5:16rocket engines for the lethal Soviet
5:18long-range SS - 24 missiles , each of
5:20which could carry 10 nuclear warheads .
5:26August 29 , 1989 Regarding the
5:32consecration of Russia , Sister Lucia
5:34wrote : " They then asked me if it was
5:36done as Our Lady requested , and I
5:38answered : Yes . " On November 9 , 1989 ,
5:46the Berlin Wall fell , and Christian
5:48freedom and the ability to worship
5:50publicly were restored throughout
5:52Eastern Europe for the first time since
5:54the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 . Later
6:01, in November and December 1989 ,
6:03peaceful revolutions took place in
6:06Czechoslovakia , Romania , Bulgaria , and
6:08Albania . In 1990 , East and West Germany
6:14were reunited , and on July 3 , 1990 ,
6:16Sister Lucia confirmed in
6:18correspondence that the consecration
6:20had been accomplished . On December 25 ,
6:271991 , the Union of Soviet Socialist
6:30Republics was dissolved . Considering
6:37the above events , as well as my
6:39numerous travels to all continents of
6:40the world , including Russia and Ukraine
6:42where I preached on several occasions ,
6:44I encourage you to reflect on the
6:46spiritual and moral state of the
6:47Western and Eastern Church and to form
6:49your own opinion . As to whether Russia
6:56has truly been converted . In Western
7:02Europe , at least 28 cathedrals have
7:04been sold and continue to be sold to be
7:06converted into casinos , hotels , cafes ,
7:08and mountain resorts for climbers .
7:14Churches are emptying every year , and
7:16many Christians have apostatized . Many
7:20priests are also failing Jesus , and
7:21monasteries and convents are being
7:23vacated . Governments are extinguishing
7:29the last faint light of Christianity
7:31that remains in public schools and
7:33public spaces , and banning the teaching
7:34of catechism in schools under the
7:36pretext that there are followers of
7:38other religions in the classrooms who
7:39might be offended . Leaders of the
7:44Western world have openly endorsed a
7:46new world order . The European Union
7:51allows same-sex marriage , even in
7:53churches . And in the Western world ,
7:58much more immorality has spread ,
8:00leading to a loss of human and
8:01spiritual values that previous
8:03generations had persistently worked to
8:05establish . In 2015 , the United States
8:12Supreme Court recognized same-sex
8:14marriage as legal . In the Western world
8:19, abortion is commonly available and
8:20legally permitted . In the USA , abortion
8:25has become the subject of federal law
8:27that is to be imposed on all Christian
8:29hospitals and institutions , thereby
8:31forcing them to comply or close down .
8:38In contrast , in Russia , hundreds of new
8:39churches are being built out of
8:41necessity , and those currently in use
8:43are overflowing with the faithful .
8:48Russian churches are packed to the brim
8:50with worshippers , and monasteries and
8:51convents are full of new novices . The
8:56Russian government does not deny Christ
8:58; rather , it speaks of Him openly and
9:00encourages schools to maintain a
9:02Christian character and teach students
9:04the catechism . The government , together
9:09with the church , has openly declared
9:11that Russia will not be part of the
9:13European Union , as it has lost its
9:15moral values and the Christianity that
9:17existed there in the past , even under
9:19Soviet rule . They abandoned their faith
9:23and denied Christ . This time they
9:27declared : " No one will tear us away
9:29from our faith , and we will defend it
9:31unto death . " The Russian government has
9:34openly condemned the new world order .
9:38Russia has stated that homosexual
9:40individuals promoting this agenda are
9:42not welcome and cannot organize parades
9:44, let alone enter into same-sex
9:46marriages . Russia also declared that
9:53any foreigner who wants to live in
9:55Russia will be required to learn the
9:57Russian language , become a Christian ,
9:58and follow Russian traditions .
10:03Otherwise , they will not be welcome .
10:08Although Russia is predominantly
10:10Orthodox , the Orthodox have all seven
10:12sacraments , which Rome recognizes as
10:14valid . In 2015 , Russian Minister of
10:22Health Veronika Skvortsova and
10:23Patriarch Kirill of the Russian
10:25Orthodox Church signed an agreement
10:27that bans abortion advertising and
10:29public announcements regarding abortion
10:31, and also includes palliative care
10:33throughout Russia . Now the question is ,
10:40which of these two needs conversion ?
10:45Just as in the time of the Egyptians ,
10:47God sent plagues that lasted for
10:49several months to move them to renounce
10:51their false gods and remind them that
10:52He alone is their God . So , during the
10:58time of the global pandemic , He took
11:00away the false gods we worship . It is
11:05remarkable that with this virus , which
11:07is an evil but one that God permitted ,
11:09we witnessed the closure of all places
11:11of entertainment , theaters , stadiums ,
11:13public centers , and businesses . Perhaps
11:19this event was meant to turn us back
11:21toward God , who in the messages of True
11:23Life in God reveals the following . Call
11:28the people together and tell them that
11:30without repentance and sincerity in
11:32your prayer , this evil will last longer
11:34than you think . Turn to Me , your God ,
11:38and repent . Sincere and universal
11:42prayer will reach Me , your God . Fasting
11:45will drive away demons . Every sacrifice
11:48is pleasing to Me . Cast off your
11:52lethargic spirit , renounce your evil
11:54ways , and make peace with Me , your God .
12:00Let Me hear : " Lord , have mercy on me , a
12:02sinner , " and I will show you mercy and
12:04pour out blessings upon you all . Come ,
12:09do not be afraid . I am listening . God
12:16allowed this isolation to detach us
12:18from the distractions of this world and
12:20give us the opportunity to open
12:21ourselves to personal inner renewal
12:23during Lent by focusing on the one
12:25thing that truly matters . Jesus . The
12:34world today needs great penance , a
12:36conversion of hearts , and a return to
12:38God and His holy laws . We do not need
12:42more discos , fireworks , or spectacles
12:44that , in the name of worshiping God ,
12:46increasingly resemble worldly
12:48entertainment . We do not need stadiums
12:53filled with crowds of shouting people ,
12:55holding their cell phones up in the air
12:57. God desires something much deeper . He
13:03desires humble , pure , and faithful
13:05souls who give Him glory not only with
13:07words and singing , but above all with
13:10their lives , daily conduct , and witness
13:12of faith . True worship begins in the
13:18human heart , in its love for God and
13:20neighbor , in obedience to His
13:22commandments , in humility , prayer , and
13:24readiness for sacrifice . Let our lives
13:30become a prayer , and our actions a
13:31testimony to whom we truly serve . For
13:37the greatest glory we can give to God
13:39is a heart that belongs to Him fully .
13:45The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
13:47with your spirit . On December 13 , 1993 ,
13:55through the messages of True Life in
13:57God , Jesus delivered the following
13:59message . Your sister Russia will be the
14:07head of many nations and will finally
14:09give Me glory . Her shepherds will
14:15gather while elsewhere treaties will be
14:17broken . And rebellion will pave its way
14:22to abolish the perpetual sacrifice . The
14:28shepherds of Russia will gather to
14:30rebuild My house , honoring the
14:32perpetual sacrifice , worshiping Me , and
14:34showing Me reverence . When in the last
14:42days nation after nation falls and
14:43sinks into corruption , because they
14:45have set up the appalling abomination
14:47in the holy place , the shepherds of
14:49Russia will gather to sanctify her
14:50altars . And while others will worship a
15:01lifeless figure , a product of human art
15:03, an image devoid of breath , the
15:05shepherds of Russia will gather , giving
15:07Me glory , for I , God , will keep her
15:09faithfulness intact . And while
15:18elsewhere very evil efforts will be
15:20made to shorten the days of My
15:21spokespersons , because they are the
15:23hope of this world . The shepherds of
15:31Russia will gather to protect My holy
15:33sacrifice , and I , for My part , will
15:35establish My throne in her and gather
15:37together all who bear My name for My
15:39glory . Her ruined altars , for many
15:49among those who live under My name will
15:51finally side with her , and her
15:53shepherds , with one hand and in one
15:54spirit , will rebuild My tottering house
15:56. What was once distorted will now be
16:06straightened , and I will adorn Russia
16:08with magnificent robes because of her
16:10zeal for Me . I will place her shepherds
16:15at the head of countless nations . I
16:19have engraved the seal of consecration
16:21upon her , so that she may again offer
16:22Me incense and a sweet fragrance .
16:25Therefore , I will shower her shepherds
16:27with miracles . Russia , my faithfulness
16:32and my gentleness shall sanctify you ,
16:34Russia , my daughter . Acknowledge me
16:39completely , and I swear to you that I
16:41will exalt your offspring like the
16:43stars and clothe them in holy garments .
16:49Acknowledge me completely , Russia , and
16:51I will annihilate all your adversaries .
16:57If you acknowledge me completely , I
16:58will perform new miracles within you to
17:00prove to all living under the sun my
17:02mercy and my holiness . Russia , rejoice
17:07and be glad , and celebrate the feast of
17:10my transfiguration . In one instant , I
17:13have transformed your image . Your
17:16misery and oppression were a punishment
17:17for the sins of the world . And now I
17:21wait to show you grace , Russia , for you
17:23will ultimately give me glory . I tell
17:28you , while others will destroy , you
17:30will build . While many will fall , your
17:35shepherds will rise , if you place your
17:37trust in me . And while some of my own ,
17:43sitting at the table with me , will
17:45wickedly betray me . You will be the one
17:51who reaches out to defend my name , my
17:53honor , and my sacrifice . And in this
17:58way , every one of your sins will be
18:00atoned for . Then you will step forward
18:05faithfully and save your brother , your
18:07brother who became a victim of the evil
18:09one . You will raise the church to unity
18:14, and justice will dwell within her .
18:18Justice will bring peace and eternal
18:20security . Happy you will be , singing
18:24songs of glory to me . Rich you will be ,
18:28because for the faithfulness shown to
18:30your King , He will repay you a
18:31hundredfold . Amen .
