Lady of the Rosary

The purpose of this website is to inform the true story of the Lady of the Rosary and the associated Sun Miracle. Unfortunately overtime original events have been corrupted, context with held and misleading inaccuracies added to the original story.

The Lady of the Rosary was a angel of female appearance which appeared several times at place called Cova da Iria (Cove of Iria) in the village of Aljustrel, district of Vila Nova de Ourém, central Portugal in the presence of three children – Lúcia dos Santos and her two cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto. At the time of the appearance of the Lady of the Rosary in 1917 Lúcia was 10 years old, Jacinta was 7 and Francisco 9.

Prior this, Lúcia had been approached by an angel of male appearance.

First Appearance of Angel

Between April and October of 1915, around a hill near Cova da Iria, called “Monte do Cabeço”, Lúcia was shepherding some sheep with three other little companions from Casa Velha – Teresa Matias, her sister Maria Rosa and Maria Justino on the southern slope. At a certain moment, all four of them saw a cloud, whiter than snow and in the shape of a human, floating above the trees in the valley.

According to Lúcia’s description

It looked like a statue made of snow that became almost transparent by the rays of the sun,

We had hardly begun when, there before our eyes, we saw a figure poised in the air above the trees; it looked like a statue made of snow, rendered almost transparent by the rays of the sun.
– “What is that?” asked my companions, quite frightened.
– “I don’t know!”
We went on praying, with our eyes fixed on the figure before us, and as we finished our prayer, the figure disappeared

According to a second description by Lúcia:

Although I cannot give the exact date, it seems to me that it was in 1915 that the first Apparition took place. As far as I can judge, it was the Angel, although at that time he did not venture to make himself fully known. From what I can recall of the weather, I think that this must have happened between the months of April and October in the year 1915.

My three companions from Casa Velha, by name Teresa Matias and her sister Maria Rosa, and Maria Justino, were with me on the southern slope of the Cabeço. We were just about to start praying the Rosary when I saw, poised in the air above the trees that stretched down to the valley which lay at our feet, what appeared to be a cloud in human form, whiter than snow and almost transparent. My companions asked me what it was. I replied that I did not know. This happened on two further occasions, but on different days.

This Apparition made a certain impression upon me, which I do not know how to explain. Little by little, this impression faded away, and were it not for the events that followed, I think I would have forgotten it completely.

To our knowledge no further details were given by Lúcia regarding the second and third appearances of this angel during 1915.

Second and Third Appearance of Angel

To our knowledge no further details were given by Lúcia regarding the second and third appearances of this angel during 1915.

Fourth Appearance of Angel

Lúcia states she and her friends were visited by an angel transparent like snow three times in 1915, hence why this next appearance is referred to as the fourth appearance.

The fourth appearance of an angel occurred in April of the spring of 1916, while Lúcia and her two cousins were tending to their family’s sheep at place called Loca do Cabeço, in the country side area known as Valinhos, about 500 meters from the village of Aljustrel, Portugal. The angel encouraged them to pray and offered them specific prayers to recite, emphasizing the importance of penance and reparation. At this stage the angel had not yet identified himself to the children but only that he arrived in peace.

Lúcia’s own words:

We had been playing for a while when a strong wind shook the trees. Since it was a calm day, we looked up to see what was happening. Then we began to see, well above the trees that covered the stretch of land to the east, a light whiter than snow in the shape of a transparent young man who was more brilliant than a crystal struck by the rays of the sun.

Fifth Appearance of Angel

The fifth appearance of this angel occurred in the summer of 1916 over a watering well, at the backyard of Lúcia’s parent’s house, next to which the same three children were playing. This appearance is the 19th of August appearance of the angel.

Once again the angel requested the children to pray. This encounter was marked by the angel teaching the children another prayer, one that was to be frequently recited.

The Angel said:

Offer Deus a sacrifice of anything you can as an act of reparation for the sins with which He is offended and as a supplication for the conversion of sinners. Draw peace upon your country by doing this. I am its guardian angel – the Angel of Portugal. Above all, accept and endure with submission whatever suffering Deus sends you.

Lúcia – Then the angel disappeared.

Sixth Appearance of Angel

The sixth appearance of the angel occurred in October of the summer of 1916. Just like the first appearance in April, the angel appeared while the children were tending to their family’s sheep at a place called Loca do Cabeço, in the country side known as Valinhos, near the village of Aljustrel.

First Appearance of the Lady

The first appearance of a female angel occurred on May 13th, 1917, at a pastural property named Cova da Iria (Cove of Iria) in the village of Aljustrel from the district of Vila Nova de Ourém. The time of the appearance was when the sun was at its highest point in the sky between 12pm and 1pm local time. All three children were entertaining themselves playing together building a small house with loose stones, in Lúcia’s testimony, they heard a thunder clap and they saw a flash then a brilliant light illuminating and hovering over a small Holm Olk tree. Lúcia states the light was of a lady which shined more brilliant than the sun in the sky above.

Lúcia states they saw a:

Lady more brilliant than the sun

Lúcia also witnessed the branches of the Holm Oak tree bend slightly under the weight of the light. The angel is witnessed by the three children and gave the following message:

It is necessary to pray and that they should return to this spot on the 13^th of the following month at this time.

Lady – Do not be afraid. I will do you no harm!

Lúcia – Where are you from?

Lady- I am from Heaven. (The Portuguese word for both Sky and Heaven is Céu, so it’s not known which one was meant.)

Lúcia – What do you want of me?

Lady – I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at this same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterwards, I will return here yet a seventh time.

Lúcia – Can you tell me if the war will still last too long or it will be over soon?

Lady – I cannot yet tell you until I say what I want of you.

Lúcia – Shall I go to Heaven too?

Lady – Yes, you will.

Lúcia- And Jacinta?

Lady – She will go also.

Lúcia- And Francisco?

Lady – He will go there too, but he must say many Rosaries.

Lúcia- Is Maria das Neves in Heaven?

Lady – Yes, she is.

Lúcia – And Amélia?

Lady – She will be in purgatory until the end of the world.

Lady – Are you willing to offer yourselves to Deus and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and of supplication for the conversion of sinners?

Lúcia – Yes, we are willing.

Lady – Then you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of Deus will be your comfort.

Lúcia then states:

As she pronounced these last words, the Lady opened her hands for the first time, communicating to us a light so intense that, as it streamed from her hands, its rays penetrated our hearts and the innermost depths of our souls, making us see ourselves in Deus, who was that light, more clearly than we see ourselves in the best of mirrors.

After a few moments, the Lady spoke again:

Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war.

The war here in question was World War I, also known as the Great War, which began on July 28, 1914. The war ended on November 11, 1918.

The political party in power at the time in Portugal was the Republican Party, also known as the Democratic Party. This party led the government from the establishment of the First Portuguese Republic in 1910 until the 28^th of May 1926.

The sixteen years of the First Republic in Portugal saw eight presidents, 45 ministries and was a very unstable time for Portugal. This Republican party at the time was anti-clerical and began devoting its entire attention to an anti-religious policy.

Though initially neutral in WWI, Republican Britain and France requested the Portuguese Republican Party send troops to the front. Against the general wishes of the population, on February the 2^nd 1917 the first Portuguese troops arrived at the port of Brest in Brittany, France. By the time WWI ended on the 11^th of November 1918, 8,145 Portuguese soldiers had died, 13,751 wounded and 12,318 prisoners or missing.

For purposes of context, this is the war and the troops Lúcia was enquiring the angel about.

Second Appearance of the Lady

The second appearance occurred the following month on June 13^th 1917, at the same place and in the same manner previously witnessed by the three children. Lúcia states the angel requested the children to continue to pray the Rosary every day and to learn how to read. There were also a few dozen people who appeared on this day to bare witness.

Lúcia – What do you request of me? I asked.

Lady – I wish you to come here on the 13th of next month, to pray the Rosary every day, and to learn to read. Later, I will tell you what I want.

Lúcia – I asked for the cure of a sick person.

Lady – If he is converted; he will be cured during the year.

Lúcia – I would like to ask you to take us to Heaven.

Lady – Yes. I will take Jacinta and Francisco soon. But you are to stay here some time longer.

Lúcia – Am I to stay here alone? I asked, sadly.

Lady – 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 Deus.

Lúcia then stated the following:

As the Lady spoke these last words, she opened her hands and for the second time, she communicated to us the rays of that same immense light. We saw ourselves in this light, as it were, immersed in Deus. Jacinta and Francisco seemed to be in that part of the light which rose towards Heaven, and I in that which was poured out on the earth. In front of the palm of the Lady’s right hand was a heart encircled by thorns which pierced it.

This is the first time the term “Immaculate Heart” and it being encircled by thorns is mentioned by the Lady angel.

Lúcia’s cousins Francisco Marto died two years later on April 4, 1919, at the age of 10, and Jacinta Marto died on February 20, 1920, at the age of 9, both due to complications from the 1918-19 world wide influenza epidemic which took 50 to 100 million lives. Jacinta stayed at the Dona Estefania hospital in Lisbon, bed 38, from February 2, 1920 until her death on February 20, 1920.

Third Appearance of the Lady

The third appearance occurred the following month on July 13^th 1917, at the same place and in the same manner witnessed by the three children. By this time there are estimated to have been 3000 to 5000 witnesses present at a slight distance away but still within view of the arrival of the cloud and the bending of the Helm Oak tree branches as the cloud landed on top of the tree.

This appearance was one of the most revealing of all appearances. It’s in this Third appearance of the Lady, that the Secret is revealed to the three children. There is much controversy regarding the Secret.

The first part of the Secret describes Hell, demons and where poor sinners go.

The second part of the Secret involves the consecration of Russia to the Lady of the Rosary’s Immaculate Heart before Russia’s errors are spread throughout the world.

The Secret was first revealed by Lúcia in 1927 to her first and second confessors while at the Dorethean Convent in Tuy, Spain, to the Mother Provincial of the Convent, to the Bishop of Leiria José Alves Correia da Silva and to the Reverend Joseph Galamba.

The Secret was eventually included and published in Lúcia’s Memoirs in 1941.

A so called third part to the Secret is very controversial. This third part was only released in the year 2000 and there are questions to it’s authenticity. I personally have doubts the third part is genuine but I’ve included it below regardless.

Lúcia – What do you request of me?

Lady – I want you to come here on the 13th of next month, to continue to pray the Rosary every day in honor 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.

Lúcia – I would like to ask you to tell us who you are, and to work a miracle so that everybody will believe that you are appearing to us.

Lady – 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.

Lúcia – I have here a petition to make, that you convert a woman from Pedrógão and another one from Fátima, and cure a child from Moita.

Lady – I will convert them, and restore the child’s health, within a year.

Lady – <part omitted under investigation>

Lúcia then states:

As Our Lady spoke these last words, she opened her hands once more, as she had done during the two previous months.

The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke now falling back on every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear.

It must have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they heard me. The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown animals, black and transparent like burning coals. Terrified and as if to plead for succour, we looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly.

The above vision is known as the first part of the secret revealed to the children at the Cova da Iria.

Lady – You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, Deus 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 Deus, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius Xl.

Lady – When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by Deus 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.

Lady – 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.

Lady – If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace;

Lady – 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.

Lady – 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 conserved.

The above section is the second part of the secret revealed to the children at the Cova da Iria.

After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: “Penance, Penance, Penance!

And we saw in an immense light that is Deus: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in white; ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross, he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.

Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal watering can in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to Deus.

This section above is the third part of the secret which may or may not be genuine as it was only released in 2000 long after Sister Lúcia died.

The order of the parts of the secret revealed to the children should be something like this:

Part 1 – the vision of hell where poor sinners end up if they don’t stop offending God.

Part 2 – request of consecration of Russia to the Lady of the Rosary’s Immaculate Heart. “In Portugal the dogma of the faith will always be conserved”.

Part 3 (may not be genuine as this part was not published in Sister Lúcia’s Memoirs, 1941 where the Secret was first mentioned. This third part was only released by the Vatican in the year 2000 long after the real Sister Lúcia had been replaced by the impostor in 1948.) –

Fourth Appearance of the Lady

The fourth appearance of the Lady occurred the following month on August 13th 1917 at the same place at the Cova da Iria (Cove of Iria). There were an estimated 15 000 to 20 000 people at the location who witnessed the cloud land on the same Holm Oak tree.

However the three children were not present because they had been detained by the police earlier that morning on the behest of the local church authorities in collusion with the mayor of Ourem.

At the time, the mayor of Ourem was Artur de Oliveira Santos, he was also the editor of the Ouriense, a local newspaper where his anti-religious opinions were often expressed. At 26 he had joined the Grand Masonic Lodge in Leiria.

The three children were placed in a jail in Ourem with the threat of being boiled in oil. When this did no succeed, the three children were then taken by the mayor and kept in his house overnight whereby he tried to extract the secret.

Lúcia states they were well taken care of by the mayor’s wife and no harm came to them. They had a good lunch, played with the mayor’s children and were given some picture books to look at. They were eventually released later that day.

The people present that day at the Cova da Iria were convinced the angel had come nonetheless, and belief in the appearances continued to grow within Portugal.

Maria Carreira, one of the most important witnesses of the apparitions since coming to the Cova for the apparition of June 13, gave the following account:

“All around the tree, the people were praying and singing hymns, but when the children did not appear, they began to get impatient. Then someone came and told us they had been kidnapped by the mayor. Everyone began talking at once; there was great anger, and I don’t know what would have happened if we hadn’t heard the clap of thunder.

“The thunder was a shock to the people. Some of them began to shout that we would be killed. We all began to spread out, away from the tree, but, of course, no one was hurt in any way.

“Just after the clap of thunder came a flash of lightning, and then we began to see a little cloud, very delicate, very white, which stopped for a few moments over the tree, and then rose in the air until it disappeared.

“As we looked around, we began to notice some strange things we had observed before and would see again in the months to follow. Our faces were reflecting all the colors of the rainbow – pink and red and blue … The trees suddenly seemed to be made not of leaves, but of flowers. The ground reflected these many colors, and so did the clothes we wore. The lanterns that someone had fixed to the arch above us looked as though they had turned to gold. Certainly, Our Lady had come, I knew, even though the children were not there.”

Fifth Appearance of the Lady

The fifth appearance of the Lady occurred six days later at Valinhos on August 19th 1917. This appearance must have been to the three children only.

During this brief apparition, Our Lady said something very significant. Her face became grave and even upset. Our Lady then referred to the coming miracle she was to perform in October, saying, If they had not taken you to Ourem, the miracle would be even greater.

Lúcia – What do you request of me?

Lady – I want you to continue going to the Cova da Iria on the 13th, and to continue praying the Rosary every day. In the last month, I will perform a miracle so that all may believe. (further conversation under investigation)

Lúcia – What do you want done with the money that the people leave in the Cova da Iria?

Lady – Have two litters made. One is to be carried by you and Jacinta and two other girls dressed in white; the other one is to be carried by Francisco and three other boys. The money from the litters is for the “festa” of Our Lady of the Rosary, and what is left over will help towards the construction of a temple that is to be built there.

Lúcia – I would like to ask you to cure some sick persons.

Lady – Yes, I will cure some of them during the year.

Lúcia – then, looking very sad, Our Lady said:

Lady – Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and to pray for them.

Sixth Appearance of the Lady

The sixth appearance of the Lady occurred on September 13th of 1917 at the same location at Cova da Iria (Cove of Iria). An estimated 30 000 people were present.

Lúcia states:

As the hour approached, I set out with Jacinta and Francisco, but owing to the crowds around us we could only advance with difficulty.

The roads were packed with people, and everyone wanted to see us and speak to us. There was no human respect whatsoever. Simple folk, and even ladies and gentlemen, struggled to break through the crowd that pressed around us. No sooner had they reached us than they threw themselves on their knees before us, begging us to place their petitions before Our Lady. Others who could not get close to us shouted from a distance

All the afflictions of poor humanity were assembled there. Some climbed up to the tops of trees and walls to see us go by. Saying yes to some, giving a hand to others to help them up, we managed to move forward, thanks to some gentlemen who went ahead and opened a passage for us through the multitude.

At last, we arrived at the Cova da Iria, and on reaching the holm oak we began to say the Rosary with the people.

Lúcia – What do you request of me?

Lady – 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. Santo Jose will appear with the child Jesus to bless the world. Deus is pleased with your sacrifices. He does not want you to sleep with the rope on, but only to wear it during the daytime.

Lúcia – I was told to ask you many things, the cure of some sick people, of a little deaf-mute girl.

Lady – Yes, she will improve within the year.

Lúcia – And the conversions that some have asked to have brought about? The cures of the sick ones?

Lady – Some I will cure, and some I will not because our Lord does not trust them.

Lúcia – People would like to have here a little temple.

Lady – half the money collected till today make two litters for our Lady of the Rosary; the other half is to help build the little temple.

Lúcia then offered Our Lady two letters and a little bottle of perfumed water which had been offered by a man from Olival.

Lúcia – They gave me this, if you want of them?

Lady – This is not appropriate to heaven. In October I will perform a miracle so that all may believe.

Seventh Appearance of the Lady and the Sun Miracle

The seventh appearance occurred the following month on October 13th 1917 at the same location of Cova da Iria (Cove of Iris) near the village of Aljustrel. This appearance is associated with the Sun Miracle. An estimated 70 000 to 100 000 people were present to witness this event.

During the night it had rained throughout, soaking the ground and the people who made their way to Aljustrel from all directions by the thousands. By foot, by car they went to the Cova da Iria. It was passed noon by the official time in Portugal. However, when the sun arrived at its zenith the Lady appeared.

Lúcia – What do you request of me?

Lady – 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.

Lúcia – I have many things to ask you: the cure of some sick persons, the conversion of sinners, and other things

Lady – Some yes, but not others. They must amend their lives and ask forgiveness for their sins.

Lúcia – Looking very sad, Our Lady said:

Lady – Do not offend the Lord our Deus any more, because He is already so much offended! If the people amend, the war will be over, and if they do not amend their ways, the world will come to an end.

Lúcia – Is there anything more you want of me?

Lady – No, I do not need anything more of you.

Lúcia then states:

Then, opening her hands, she made them reflect on the sun, and as she ascended, the reflection of her own light continued to be projected on the sun itself.

After Our Lady had disappeared into the immense distance of the firmament, we beheld Santo Jose with the Child Jesus and Our Lady robed in white with a blue mantle, beside the sun.

St. Jose and the Child Jesus appeared to bless the world, for they traced the Sign of the Cross with their hands. When, a little later, this apparition disappeared, I saw Our Lord and Our Lady; it seemed to me that it was Our Lady of Dolours. Our Lord appeared to bless the world in the same manner as Santo Jose had done. This apparition also vanished, and I saw Our Lady once more, this time resembling Our Lady of Carmel.

It is during this seventh appearance that she identifies herself as the Lady of the Rosary for the first and only time.

After the ascendance of the Lady of the Rosary into the sky the Sun Miracle commenced for which there are many eye witness accounts.

From the road, where some vehicles were parked and where hundreds of people who had not dared to brave the mud were congregated, one could see the immense multitude turn toward the sun, which appeared free from clouds and in its zenith. It looked like a plaque of dull silver, and it was possible to look at it without the least discomfort. At that moment a great shout went up, and one could hear the spectators nearest at hand shouting: “A miracle! A miracle!”

Witness Accounts

According to multiple eyewitness testimonies, the assembled crowd observed the Sun Miracle which culminated with the apparent movement of the sun toward the earth, causing widespread panic as many believed it was the end of the world. Following this terrifying descent, witnesses described an immediate and complete transformation of their environment, despite being soaked by hours of constant rain, their clothing and the muddy ground became completely dry within minutes.

Eyewitness testimony and depiction of Sun Miracle

Joaquim Lourenço was a school boy at the time, and was with his brother and some other children in the village of Alburitel. They thought it was the end of the world. Joaquim Lourenço tells us:

“I feel incapable of describing what I saw. I looked fixedly at the sun which seemed pale and did not hurt my eyes. Looking like a ball of snow, revolving on itself, it suddenly seemed to come down in a zigzag, menacing the earth. Terrified, I ran and hid myself among the people, who were weeping and expecting the end of the world at any moment. It was a crowd which had gathered outside our local village school and we had all left classes and run into the streets because of the cries and surprised shouts of men and women who were in the street in front of the school when the miracle began.”

“During those long moments of the solar prodigy, objects around us turned all colors of the rainbow… When the people realized that the danger was over, there was an explosion of joy.”

In the United States, in Somerville, New Jersey, Mr. Albano Barros, a successful building contractor who was a child in a village near Minde, about 13 kilometres from Aljustrel. Though only twelve years old at the time, he remembers the miracle as though it had happened yesterday.

“I was watching sheep, as was my daily task, and suddenly there, in the direction of Aljustrel, I saw the sun fall from the sky. I thought it was the end of the world.”

Carlos de Azevedo Mendes, from Torres Novas, was a successful lawyer when the miracle occurred. He was twenty-eight years of age. He states:

“I saw the sun, as if it were a ball of fire, begin to move in the clouds. It had been raining all morning and the sky was full of clouds, but the rain had stopped.”

Mr. Higino Faria, lived in Olaia, 11 kilometers from Aljustrel. he stated:

“Caravans of people were passing in front of the house clothed in every possible fashion, many with-out shoes, many from distant places, like Alentejo and Algarve.”

“I was sick with a severe cold and hoarseness, and I asked, ‘Where are these people going?’ When I learned that they were going because of a predicted miracle, even though I was sick, I wished to go. Having no other means, I went on foot. My wife was very disturbed and said, ‘What are you going to do? Don’t you know you are going to aggravate the state of your health?’”

“We became victims of a heavy rain which wet our clothing and made us very cold. When I arrived at eleven o’clock, I was surprised at the great number of people on the slope of the hill. Completely wet, dirty and frozen, we waited. At one o’clock the clouds gathered into a very thick and dark form, giving the appearance of an eclipse. At that moment I looked at the multitude and had the impression that it was the day of final judgment. The faces of the people looked thin, long and yellow. Then the dark cloud broke into parts, and through the break we saw the sun shining, spinning in the shape of a wheel of fire. It seemed to approach the earth… Everyone was dried, cleaned. I who was sick, returned completely cured.”

Another witness was the priest João Gomes Menitra:

“I was living at Reguengo do Fetal, with my parents. The day before the miracle two couples arrived from Ortigosa looking for a place to spend the night. My father invited them in and also took care of their cart and horse.”

“After I said Mass on that October 13th, the two ladies invited me to go to with them. I refused at first, but they insisted so much that I decided to go, even though I did not believe in the apparitions. On the way up the mountain from Reguengo there were many people on the road, on foot, in carriage, or on bicycles. It was raining, but no one seemed to think of turning back. When we had gotten fairly well up the mountain, the carriage was left and the two couples went down near the place where the children would be, but I remained up near the road, on the outside of the Cova. I was alone. Only the horse and carriage were beside me. I remember thinking that if it rained too much, I would get under the carriage. It was about noon when a man from Alentejo came up to me and said: ‘In about a half an hour.”

“‘You know more than I do,’ I answered. But about a quarter of an hour later the people nearest the tree started crying out. Surprised, I looked and saw that the people were in various colors—yellow, white, blue. At the same time, I beheld the sun spinning at great speed and very near me. I at once thought: ‘I am going to die!’ I knelt down on some stones and raised my hand, begging the pardon of Deus for every fault I might have committed. A few moments later the sun ceased to spin and went back into its place. I looked at the place and saw a truck beside me in which a man in an overcoat stood crying aloud the words of the creed. And I told myself that I was not the only one to be afflicted.”

Dr. Almeida Garrett, PhD stated:

“The sun, at one moment surrounded with scarlet flame, at another aureoled in yellow and deep purple, seemed to be in an exceedingly fast and whirling movement, at times appearing to be loosened from the sky and to be approaching the earth, strongly radiating heat.”

Dr. Domingos Coelho reported in the newspaper Ordem:

“The sun appeared with its circumference well defined. It came down as if to the height of the clouds and began to whirl giddily upon itself like a captive ball of fire. With some interruptions, this lasted about eight minutes. The atmosphere darkened and the features of each became yellow. Everyone knelt even in the mud”

Alfonso Lopes Vieira observed from a distance of nearly 40 kilometres away:

“I was only nine years old at this time, and I went to the local village school. At about midday we were surprised by the shouts and cries of some men and women who were passing in the street in front of the school. The teacher, a good, pious woman, though nervous and impressionable, was the first to run into the road, with the children after her.”

“Outside, the people were shouting and weeping and pointing to the sun, ignoring the agitated questions of the schoolmistress. It was the great Miracle, which one could see quite distinctly from the top of the hill where my village was situated—the Miracle of the sun, accompanied by all its extraordinary phenomena.”

“I feel incapable of describing what I saw and felt. I looked fixedly at the sun, which seemed pale and did not hurt the eyes. Looking like a ball of snow revolving on itself, it suddenly seemed to come down in a zigzag, menacing the earth. Terrified, I ran and hid myself among the people, who were weeping and expecting the end of the world at any moment.”

“Near us was an unbeliever who had spent the morning mocking at the simpletons who had gone off to Cova da Iria just to see an ordinary girl. He now seemed to be paralyzed, his eyes fixed on the sun. Afterwards he trembled from head to foot and lifting up his arms fell on his knees in the mud, crying out to our Lady.”

“Meanwhile the people continued to cry out and to weep, asking Deus to pardon their sins. We all ran to the two chapels in the village, which were soon filled to overflowing. During those long moments of the solar prodigy, objects around us turned all the colors of the rainbow. We saw ourselves blue, yellow, red, etc. All these strange phenomena increased the fears of the people. After about ten minutes the sun, now dull and pallid, returned to its place. When the people realized that the danger was over, there was an explosion of joy, and everyone joined in thanksgiving and praise to our Lady.”

The journalist on location from the pro-government, anti-clerical, Lisbon paper O Seculo wrote:

“At one o’clock in the afternoon, midday by the sun, the rain stopped. The sky, pearly grey in colour, illuminated the vast arid landscape with a strange light. The sun had a transparent gauzy veil so that the eyes could easily be fixed upon it. The grey mother-of-pearl tone turned into a sheet of silver which broke up as the clouds were torn apart and the silver sun, enveloped in the same gauzy grey light, was seen to whirl and turn in the circle of broken clouds. A cry went up from every mouth and people fell on their knees on the muddy ground….”

“The light turned a beautiful blue, as if it had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched hands. The blue faded slowly, and then the light seemed to pass through yellow glass. Yellow stains fell against white handkerchiefs, against the dark skirts of the women. They were repeated on the trees, on the stones and on the serra. People wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like hours, so vivid were they.”

Another journalist from the O Dia testified the following:

“We looked easily at the sun, which for some reason did not blind us. It seemed to flicker on and off, first one way, then another. It cast its rays in many directions and painted everything in different colors— the trees, the people, the air and the ground. But what was most extraordinary, I thought, was that the sun did not hurt our eyes. Everything was still and quiet, and everyone was looking up. Then at a certain moment, the sun appeared to stop spinning. It then began to move and to dance in the sky until it seemed to detach itself from its place and fall upon us. It was a terrible moment.”

Father Manuel Nunes Formigão Júnior (1 January 1883 – 30 January 1958) was another witness to the Sun Miracle and had on several occasions prior this interviewed all three children regarding the previous appearances. He described the Sun Miracle:

“As if like a bolt from the blue, the clouds were wrenched apart, and the sun at its zenith appeared in all its splendor. It began to revolve vertiginously on its axis, like the most magnificent fire wheel that could be imagined, taking on all the colors of the rainbow and sending forth multicolored flashes of light, producing the most astounding effect. This sublime and incomparable spectacle, which was repeated three distinct times, lasted for about ten minutes. The immense multitude, overcome by the evidence of such a tremendous prodigy, threw themselves on their knees.”

There are many other surviving first witness accounts.

World Events

The pontificate period of Pius XI started in February the 6^th of 1922 and lasted till his death in February the 10^th 1939. There were several main events that occurred in the locations mentioned by Lúcia and the Lady during this period.

Russia

In Russia the anti-clerical Bolshevik Red Communists seized power during the October Revolution, 1917 with the aim to spread their brand of communism all over the world and were in power during this pontificate period of Pius XI – 1922 to 1939.

During the Bolshevik Revolution, 322 bishops and over 1,200 priests were executed, with many others imprisoned or exiled. Lenin took power of Russia on November 9, 1917. Soon after, Lenin’s International Banker sponsors instructed him to advocate immediate revolution in all European nations not yet under their financial and political subjugation.

Portugal

In Portugal the anti-clerical Republican Party was overthrown in 1926 by the Portuguese military and in the same year appoints a university lecturer by the name of António Salazar to organize the nation’s finances as the Minister of Finance. Later in 1932, Portuguese military relinquishes power and appoints António Salazar as Prime Minister of Portugal.

Portuguese bishops consecrated their country to the Lady of the Rosary’s Immaculate Heart on May 13, 1931 and again on May 13, 1938.

Spain

Bordering Portugal, atrocities against the clergy and the general population by the Spanish Republican party under foreign control began in May 1931, with communist fueled violence leading to the burning of churches and attacks on religious figures. Such atrocities escalating during the Spanish Civil War whereby this violence resulted in the deaths of thousands of clergy members and civilian population with the destruction of many properties.

Individual clergymen were executed while entire religious communities were shot, leading to a death toll of 13 bishops, 4,172 diocesan priests and seminarians, 2,364 monks and friars and 283 nuns, for a total of 6,832 clerical victims. Civilian deaths are estimated to have been approximately 300 000.

On the 17^th of July, 1936, a group of communists wearing the uniforms of governmental troops called at a convent in Barcelona. The leader informed the mother superior that because mob violence was feared he had orders to escort the sisters of the convent to a place of safety. The sisters gathered together their few belongings and, unsuspectingly, accompanied the soldiers who took them to the suburbs where they murdered them all.

Regarding the type of communism in Spain and in other nations around the world, Winston Churchill wrote:

“The communists helped set it up so they could knock it down again and create more political and economic chaos, until they had the country and the people in such a state that the leaders could advocate with reason, that only a communist dictatorship could restore law and order to save the day.”

As early as 1921, Lenin had informed members of the Third International that Spain was to be the next nation sovietized.

Communist intentions towards Portugal were made very clear early on by the Spanish Republican prime minster Largo Caballero, in an interview by Edward Knoblaugh, who afterwards wrote for the Correspondent in Spain.

Caballero is quoted as saying:

“Within 5 years the republic will be so organized that it will be easy for my party to use it as a stepping stone to our objective. The Iberian Peninsula will be one, Portugal will come in peacefully to Spain we hope, but by force if necessary. Lenin declared Spain would be the second Soviet Republic in Europe. Lenin’s prophecy will come true; I shall be the second Lenin who should make it come true.”

The Red international bankers of world revolution behind the Russian revolution had also been behind the financing of the Spanish communist revolution and responsible for several other past revolutions in European nations.

Spanish Civil War

In early 1936, a Galician general by the name of Francisco Franco reluctantly but gradually emerged as the primary leader of the Spanish anti-communist alliance. This alliance came to be known as the Nationalists. With the support of the rural population, General Franco advanced his troops from their strongholds in the south and west of the country.

During the Spanish Civil War, the republicans and communists were aided by Russia, Britain, France, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Estonia and other nations. General Franco was aided by Portugal, Italy and Germany.

From the very beginning of Franco’s rise in 1936, António Salazar’s Portugal provided logistical support, communications, financial aid, medical aid, ammunition and military weapons. An estimated 12 000 Portuguese volunteer troops, known as the Viriatos, crossed the border to assist Franco’s armies. Italy sent an estimated 70 000 troops while Germany sent 13 000 troops. During the early stages of the civil war on April the 28th 1938, Portugal formally recognized General Franco as the sole sovereign of Spain.

Thousands of people from around the world travelled to Spain and enlisted for both the Nationalists and the Republican-Communists.

Franco eventually entered the Spanish capital and declared victory over the republicans and communists on 1 April 1939.

Solar Storm

On January 25–26, 1938, the sky was lit up with an aurora borealis light storm, seen all across the world. The great aurora that was witnessed across Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. The storm was remarkable primarily because of how far and wide it was observed, and for the brightness of its green strip lights and red glow, which led many to believe the cause was a fire. Reports collected at the time show that the aurora was witnessed in the far north of Canada, and spread as far south as California. In Europe, the aurora was seen in North Scotland, Austria, in southern Sicily, Gibraltar and Portugal.

This event was characterized by a brilliant blood-red sky. The display of lights was experienced across the world, as reported in different news archives. The lights sent some into panic, as many were awestruck, astonished by the rarity of the experience. Canada experienced the most vivid auroral displays on the nights of January 24–26. In Austria, some residents called on the fire department as they believed something was on fire. Alarm bells were rung into a frenzy that night and the fire departments were constantly sounding new alarms, trying to calm the citizens. The loud multitude of ringing further caused panic, causing some residents to flee to more rural areas. The same fright was seen in London where many also believed whole streets were on fire, even the guards of Windsor Castle summoned the fire brigade to put out the said “fire”.

In Switzerland, the snow-covered peaks of the Swiss Alps were glowing bright and reflecting some of the auroral rays, causing a reflective disco effect. In San Diego, the National Forest Service was alerted on the night of January 22 to respond to a “great fire in the back country”; after they checked out the back roads, they discovered it was the crimson aurora borealis in the northern sky. In Bermuda, many people believed that a massive freight ship was on fire at sea. Steamship captains were calling the wireless stations to learn if there were any S.O.S calls and if they could help.

A witness account by Dr. B.A. Keen, former president of the Royal Meteorological Society had written the following during and after seeing the spectacle:

“At Harpenden, the display was seen from 18:45 until well after midnight. The early stages appeared as a red glow in the northwest and later in the northeast, with a low broad green arc in between. The area of the luminous sky increased, and by 20:30 the green color with areas of red extended well south of Orion. Up to 23:00, there seemed to be three periods of brilliant display: the first, and perhaps the best, at 19:45 when a bright red glow in the north-north-east was traversed by many sharply defined green and white shafts, at 20:30 especially in the east; and again at 21:45, when diffuse and rapidly fluctuating green streamers appeared between north-east and north-west, directed towards the Zenith. Thereafter, the luminosity decreased, but as late as 23:00 a broad green arc stretching from northwest to northeast was still clearly visible. About midnight, a fourth display began with red streamers in the northwest, which extended until a broad red band was formed passing through the zenith to the northeast. At 01:00, faint red and green glow was still visible.”

World War II

It’s widely agreed the Spanish Civil War reflected the ideological struggles that would later escalate into World War II in late 1939.

The International Bankers, through their placement of republican and communist agents in different government positions, planned to subjugate all European nations by dividing their national populations into various religious, economic, political, social and labour groups.

While the International Bankers were weakening one nation’s war potential they were secretly strengthening that of another. The International Bankers would then finance both sides of the war making large financial profits while destroying the sovereignty and cultural independence of the nations they profited from.

António Salazar must have understood this plan by the International Bankers behind the scenes. Not only did he keep Portugal free from WWII he also managed to guide General Franco’s Spain into not falling into the trap of taking one side or the other.

This is where the Pacto Ibérico came into play and was vital for the eventual sovereignty of both nations after WWII. This pact, formally the Portuguese–Spanish Treaty of Friendship and Non-Aggression, was a non-aggression pact that was signed at Lisbon, just a few days before the end of the Spanish Civil War, on 18 March 1939 by Portugal’s Prime Minister António Salazar, representing Portugal, and Ambassador Nicolás Franco, representing Spain. The treaty was ratified on 25 March 1939. The pact proved to be a decisive instrument in keeping the both nations free of the International Bankers.

António Salazar understood both nations needed to create a defensive shield from both warring sides which were controlled by the one and same International Bankers.

Another important factor was the centuries old Treaty of Windsor (1386) between Portugal and England.

The Treaty of Windsor established a friendship that would be bolstered and reinforced throughout the following centuries in the interests of the two nations. Winston Churchill, speaking in the House of Commons in 1943, described the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance as “an alliance without parallel in world history.”

The Pacto Ibérico brought Spain closer to England’s sphere of influence via the Treaty of Windsor.

This was António Salazar’s checkmate against the International Bankers which were behind the scenes manipulating both sides in WWII. The Treaty of Windsor is still in effect today; it is the oldest diplomatic treaty in recorded history and has stood the test of time.

Lúcia Following the Sun Miracle

Lúcia remained in Aljustrel for the next 4 years. Lúcia’s father, Antonio, died in 1919. On the 16th of June 1921, at the age of 14, Lúcia departed Aljustel and moved to Vilar, Porto where she enrolled in a school run by the Sisters of St. Dorothy. Lúcia arrived at the school in the morning of the 17th June 1921 and was accompanied by Dona Filomena Miranda whom Bishop Silva had charged to accompany Lúcia. This lady was later to be Lúcia’s godmother at her confirmation. Shortly after arriving, Lúcia was presented to the Directress of the College at Asilo de Vilar, Mother Maria das Dores Magalhaes.

Lúcia remained in Vilar, Porto for the next 5 years till she turned 18 years of age. Bishop da Silva himself chose for Lúcia the College of the Dorothean Sisters at Vilar, where he had been chaplain. Moreover, being originally from the diocese of Porto, he still had some friends who could help in the formation of Lúcia.

On October 24, 1925 Lúcia, then 18 years old, entered the College of the Dorothean Sisters at Tuy. The next day she was sent as the postulant to the convent with a school which was located at Travesia Isabel II in Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain. Lúcia stayed there until July 20, 1926.

The Superior of the convent of Pontevedra was at that time Mother Maria das Dores Magalhaes who was already familiar with Lúcia because she was the Directress of the College of Asilo de Vilar where Lúcia was the boarding student from June 1921 until October 1925. Lúcia remained in Tuy, till 1948.

Building of a temple on the site of the appearances begun on August 6, 1918.

By 1921, Cova da Iria had become the hub of a new religious revival in Portugal. Though the Freemasonic Portuguese government had boasted that religion would be wiped out of Portugal within two generations, their vision was being jeopardized by the new life Cova da Iria was breathing into Portugal. In response, the Portuguese army was deployed to deny access to the Cova da Iria. This maneuver was strongly and persistently protested. Finally, realizing the futility of the endeavor, the captain of the guard relented, and the people were once again allowed free access to the place where the Lafy of the Rosary appeared.

By 1922, the throngs of people making pilgrimages to the Cova da Iria were so numerous that the Bishop of Leiria, Bishop da Silva, authorized that a well be dug in order to provide enough water. The project didn’t seem promising, as the land was very dry, and stone obstructed the digging. However, plenty of water soon appeared on the spot, and both the pilgrims and local inhabitants came in great numbers to draw water from a source they believed to be miraculous.

Many miracles were worked with the water from the well. People left their wound dressings there as testament to their cures, and countless others filled containers with the water to take back to the sick. Following these events, devotion to the Lady of the Rosary grew to such a degree that opponents became even more determined to obstruct the movement.

On March 6, 1922 the temple, erected at the site of the appearances, was dynamited. That night a powerful explosion awakened the inhabitants of the surrounding hamlets. They found the temple in flames, with only the walls remaining.

According to testimonies at the time, the place was covered in debris and ashes. Religious objects used in the celebrations were damaged. The original image of the Lady of the Rosary, fortunately, was not in place at that time, as it had been removed for safety and kept in the Carreira family home.

The men responsible for the destruction, friends of the mayor, had perforated some walls of the temple and had inserted four explosive devices. A fifth one, placed on the trunk of the holm-oak tree on which the Lady of the Rosary had appeared, had not exploded.

Indignation at the terrorism was widespread, but no one was arrested or tried for this crime. Despite such violent opposition to devotion to the Lady of the Rosary, it would not prevent the tens of thousands from making pilgrimages to honor Her at the Cova da Iria.

Assassination of Sister Lúcia and Switch with Impostor

We know the real Sister Lúcia was assassinated in the year 1948 and replaced with an impostor.

Against Sister Lúcia’s wishes to remain with the Sisters of Saint Dorothea, where she had been for the last 22 years, and against the objections of the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Dorothea, Lúcia was forced to transfer to a Carmelite Convent in Coimbra in 1948. The transfer was personally forced by the then Vatican Secretary Giovanni Montini who was to become Pope VI of Vatican II in 1963.

The real Sister Lúcia was never seen after 1948. Another woman impostor arrived at the Carmelite Convent in place of the real Sister Lúcia. There’s no picture of the real Sister Lúcia wearing a Carmelite outfit.

In 1948, the Carmelite nuns in Coimbra had never seen or previously met the real Sister so they had no idea what she looked like. The Impostor would have had letters of endorsement from the Vatican officials who planned and forced the transfer.

For the next 20 years no private visits, even from direct family, were permitted without direct permission from the Vatican authority.

The real Sister Lúcia’s father, Antonio, had died in 1919 and her mother, Maria Rosa Ferreira, who used to visit her daughter once a year had died back in 1942.

Evidence of Impostor

Farther Paul Kramer interviewed Lúcia’s older sister Carolina and she is quoted as saying:

“Lúcia never used a typewriter or a computer; she always wrote in long hand. Whenever she would visit her sister at the Carmelite Convent she was not allowed to speak with her privately and she would sit with the other sisters at a distance, she couldn’t see close up who was this person.”

Father Joaquim Alonso, the official historian tasked with documenting the truth about the famous apparitions at Cova Da Iria in 1917, who spent 20 years of his life gathering evidence for his 24-volume work to be published only for his work to be suddenly confiscated and locked away in 1974.

In 1976, two years after the suppression of his work on the apparitions he published his own book titled “The truth about the Secret of Fatima”. On page 91 – he presents two photos of Sister Lúcia, one is from 1967 and the other is pre-1950s, he points out the physical differences, he draws attention to the lips, the woman from 1967 picture has thin lips while the original Sister Lúcia has full thick lips. Father Joaquim Alonso then writes “judge for yourself dear reader”.

Further Evidence of Impostor

Credit to the following evidence of an impostor must be given to Dr. Peter Chojnowski who has spent much time and effort to obtain scientific evidence of an impostor.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Expert analysis of photographs by the plastic surgeon Dr. Julio Garcia, board certified as a plastic surgeon by the American board of plastic surgeons, a member of the American academy of cosmetic surgery and chief of plastic surgery at two American hospitals. The doctor’s conclusion:

“I am very confident they are not the same individual?”

Oral Surgeon Report by Dr. Joseoh Mascaro DMD

Dr. Mascaro, a well expected oral surgeon with 40 years experience after analysing the pre 1948 photos with the post 1948 photos concludes:

“There is no good explanation except two different individuals”.

“The differences cannot be explained by dental work and are caused by different skeletal structures of the face. Because of this medical fact, the pictures are not and cannot be of the same individual.”

Forensic Expert - Lois Gibson

Lois Gibson is one of the worlds foremost forensic artists who holds the 2017 Guiness World Record for most identifications by a forensic artist. She has helped Houston’s police force solve 1266 crimes with her forensic work and is able to re create faces even from skulls.

Gibson states:

“the two have completely different facial structures and therefore it is impossible these are the same woman.”

Facial Recognition Report

Leading developer in advanced facial recognition technology for the military, intelligence and law enforcement reports they are not the same individual.

Ophthalmology Report

Dr. Sean Donahue M.D. presented the pictures to 20 of the top strabismus experts in the world at a conference in New York. Accordingly a super majority of the experts said the younger woman had strabismus (lazy eye) in her right eye while the elder woman did not have the condition, a condition which worsens with age.

Handwriting Evidence

Bart Baggett is a court qualified forensic document examiner and is one of the best handwriting experts in the world. He stated:

“All the letters and all the signatures post 1960 were forgeries”

The lower case h, seen at the top of the picture, written before the 1950s is consistently below the line. The post 1950s letters have the lower case h consistently above or on the line as can be seen at bottom of picture.

The upper case S, seen at the top of the picture, written before the 1950s has a hook at the top of the S. The post 1950s letters have the upper case S with no hook at top of the S as can be seen at bottom of picture.

The conclusions from the handwriting analysis were that the post 1960s writings are definitely written by a different hand when compared to the known pre 1960s writings. Timeline of discrepancy in handwriting matches perfectly with discrepancies in the historical and photographic evidence.

Interviews with the real Sister Lúcia

Sister Lúcia Interview with Father Hubert Jongen - February 1946. Location: Dorethean Convent,Tuy Spain

Father Hubert Jongen (1907-2007), a Dutch Montfortian. In February 1946, he obtained permission to visit Sister Lúcia at the Dorothean Convent in Tuy, Spain. Father Jongen had four long interviews with Sister Lúcia on February 3 and 4, 1946, and was able to question her in detail about the apparitions. Sister Lúcia had already written and published her Memoirs 5 years earlier in 1941 which included the Secret divulged to both herself, Jacinta and Francisco.

Father Jongen (FJ): Are you absolutely sure that the Angel appeared to you?

Sister Lúcia (SL): I saw him.

FJ: The total silence of you three children concerning these apparitions prevents many from giving them credence.

SL: It is not true that we never spoke to anyone about them.

FJ: To whom then did you reveal the apparitions?

SL: First to the Dean of Olival. I trusted him and did not hide anything from him. He advised me to keep them secret.

FJ: Did you follow his advice?

SL: Yes, and we revealed them only to the Bishop of Leiria.

FJ: What did he say?

SL: He too advised secrecy.

FJ: Why did you not speak to anyone about the Angel at the time of the apparitions?

SL: I and the other girls saw the Angel vaguely in 1915. Francisco and Jacinta were not with us. I did not speak of this apparition to anyone but the other girls did and people mocked us. It was a lesson which I had not forgotten when the Angel appeared to us in 1916. We decided to keep it secret.

FJ: That is natural, but the priest who interviewed you recently on the matter finds it hard to explain the fact that three children so young could have kept a secret for so long.

SL: He would not if he had gone through all we did.

FJ: What do you mean?

SL: After hearing through Jacinta of Our Lady’s first apparition, many plagued us unceasingly with detailed and captious questions. As they ridiculed everything, we decided to say only that we had seen Our Lady. If they asked us what Our Lady said, we would answer that She desired that everyone say the Rosary and we added nothing else.

FJ: That was a good reason for not divulging the apparitions but only for a while. Why were they not made known before 1936?

SL: The Dean of Olival, the Bishop of Leiria, circumstances, everything urged us to be silent. Shouldn’t I wait until the bishop made me speak?

FJ: When did you receive permission from Heaven, as you say in your Memoirs, to reveal the Secret?

SL: It was in 1927, here in Tuy, while in the Chapel.

FJ: Did you tell your confessor about it?

SL: Immediately.

FJ: What did he say?

SL: He told me to write the Secret with the exception of the third part. I think he did not read it; he returned it to me. A little later, I had another confessor who ordered me to burn it. Then he told me to write it again.

FJ: It is regretful that the Secret was not published before the war, for then Our Lady’s prediction would have had more value. Why did you not make it known before?

SL: No one asked me for the Secret.

FJ: To whom else did you reveal the Secret before the war?

SL: To Mother Provincial, the Bishop of Leiria, and the Reverend Joseph Galamba.

FJ: Did you reveal everything without exception?

SL: I cannot remember.

FJ: Did you give only the general sense of what Our Lady told you, or did you quote Her words literally?

SL: When I speak of the apparitions, I limit myself only to the general sense of the words. When I write, on the contrary, I take care to quote literally. And so I wanted to write the Secret word by word.

FJ: Are you sure you kept everything in your memory?

SL: I think so.

FJ: Were the words of the Secret revealed in the same order they were communicated to you?

SL: Yes.

The Dean of Olival mentioned by Sister Lúcia was Father Faustino Jose Jacinto Ferreira and the Bishop of Leiria was Bishop José Alves Correia da Silva (15 January 1872 – 4 December 1957). The Reverand Jose Galamba mentioned was José Galamba de Oliveira born in Aldeia-Nova, Olival in Ourem (4 February 1903 – 25 September 1984).

Sister Lúcia Interview with William Thomas Walsh - Monday, July 15, 1946. Location: Dorethean Convent, Vilar, Portugal

William Thomas Walsh was an American historian, author, educator, and violinist. His work significantly increased awareness of Sister Lúcia and the Lady of the Rosary appearances among Americans. Unfortunately he died three years after the 1946 interview in February 1949.

With respects to this interview, I don’t know why it was said to have occurred in the Dorethean Convent at Vilar, Porto, Portugal when Sister Lúcia had left Vilar in 1925 and was living in the Dorethean Convent at Tuy, Spain from October 1925 to 1948. Maybe Sister Lúcia returned for a visit but this needs to be further investigated.

William Walsh, states the interview lasted three hours and that Mother Pignatelli, Father Galamba, Father Rocha, Father Furtado and Mr. Daniel Sullivan were present during the interview.

The interview below:

WTW: First I presented a few questions from America, some perhaps a little obvious and unnecessary. One, from a sculptor, was whether the rosary in the hand of Our Lady had had five or fifteen decades.

Lúcia: I didn’t count them

WTW: When the Angel of Peace gave you Holy Communion at Cabeço, did it seem to you like a dream or a vision, or was it like the reality of receiving Holy Communion in a church?

Lúcia: I cannot be absolutely sure of that, because I was not in any ordinary state of mind during such an experience, and there was something so intimate, so interior, so intense about the apparition of the Angel and what he said and did. But I believe it was like the real experience of receiving in a church, for I felt the contact of the Host.

WTW: Did you see Our Lord in the year 1927?

Lúcia: Twice

WTW: When you reported the words of the Angel and of Our Lady, did you give the exact words as they were spoken, or only the general sense?

Lúcia: The Angel’s words had an intense and overpowering quality, a supernatural reality that could not be forgotten. They seemed to engrave themselves exactly and indelibly upon the memory. It was different with the words of Our Lady. I could not be sure that every word was exact. It was rather the sense that came to me, and I put what I understood into words. It is not easy to explain this.”

WTW: Our Lady showed you many souls going to hell. Did you get the impression from her that more souls are damned than saved?

Lúcia: I saw those that were going down. I didn’t see those that were going up.

WTW: Does the statue in the shrine at Cova da Iria look like the Lady you saw there?”

Lúcia: No, not much. I was disappointed when I saw it. For one thing, it was too gαy, too ‘alegre’. When I saw Our Lady she was more ‘triste’, or rather more compassionate. But it would be impossible to describe Our Lady, and it would be impossible to make the statue as beautiful as she is.

WTW: She left the room a moment and returned with a small print of Our Lady on some sort of transparent plastic material, the most simple and unadorned I had seen, and handed it to me.

Lúcia: This is the picture that comes nearest to what I saw,Our Lady seemed to be made of light, and her garments were also. There was no border of gold, no ornamentation.

WTW: In many books about Fatima, the prayer Our Lady asked you to say after the decades of the Rosary is given in some form as this: ‘O my Jesus, pardon our sins, save us from the fire of hell, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory, especially the most abandoned.’ Is that correct?”

Lúcia: No, it is not, the correct form is the one I have written in my account of the apparition on July 13: ‘O my Jesus, pardon us, and save us from the fire of hell; draw all souls to heaven, especially those most in need.

WTW: Have you ever read the works of Saint Teresa of Avila?” I was thinking especially of the descriptions of uncreated light in the Libro de su vida.

Lúcia: No. Parts of them were read to us in the refectory.

WTW: Have you had any revelations from Our Lady about the end of the world?

Lúcia: I cannot answer that question.

WTW: Some persons believe that Jacinta’s vision of a persecuted Pope referred to some particular Pontiff. Some believe the present Holy Father was the one she saw.

Lúcia: Jacinta said it was a Pope. There was nothing to indicate any particular Pope.

WTW: Why did you say nothing about the Angel of Peace for so many years?

Lúcia: Nobody told me to. I am under obedience. The priest to whom I mentioned it at the time told me not to speak of it again. I never did until the Bishop told me to write everything down.

Lúcia: The Angel left us feeling exhausted, helpless, overpowered, and we remained lost to everything for hours. Our Lady always made us feel light and joyous.

WTW: Finally we came to the important subject of the second July secret, of which so many different and conflicting versions have been published. Lucia made it plain that Our Lady did not ask for the consecration of the world to her Immaculate Heart. What she demanded specifically was the consecration of Russia. She did not comment, of course, on the fact that Pope Pius XII had consecrated the world, not Russia to the Immaculate Heart in 1942. But she said more than once, and with deliberate emphasis:

Lúcia: What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, she will convert Russia and there will be peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world.

WTW: Does this mean in your opinion, that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism?

Lúcia: Yes.

WTW: Did Our Lady ever say anything to you about the United States of America?

Lúcia: No, she never did. But I wish you would have Masses said for me in the United States.

After the interviewer’s return to the USA, he wrote several more questions which the Bishop of Leiria was good enough to send to Sister Lúcia. Her answers, written February 17, 1947, are summarised here:

Q. Is it your opinion that the Pope and the Bishops will consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart only after the laity have done their duty, in Rosaries, sacrifices, first Saturday Communions, etc?

A. The Holy Father has already consecrated Russia, including it in the consecration of the world, but it has not been done in the form indicated by Our Lady: I do not know whether Our Lady accepts it, done in this way, as complying with her promises. Prayer and sacrifice are always the means necessary to draw down the graces and blessings of Deus.

Q. Did you write the wishes of Our Lady to Pope Pius XI?

A. In 1929 I wrote the desires and requests of Our Lord and of Our Lady, which were the same, and delivered the writing to my confessor; he was then the Reverend Father Bernardo Gonçalves, a Jesuit, now Superior of the Mission of Zambezia Leif dizi: His Reverence transmitted it to His Excellency the Most Reverend Senhor Bishop of Leiria, and sometime later it was transmitted to His Holiness Pius XI. I do not know the exact date when it was communicated to His Holiness or the name of the person of whom my confessor availed himself. But I remember well that my confessor told me that the Holy Father had heard the message graciously and had promised to consider it.

Q. Can you give me a brief account of any other revelations you have received from Our Lady since 1917?

A. What has been published of the revelations later than 1917 appears to me sufficient to make possible the realisation of the wishes of Our Lord, and I do not think the moment opportune to state anything further.

Fake Interviews with Impostor

In my opinion, every interview in the Carmelite Convent from 1948 onwards is with an Impostor.

Impostor Interview with Father Howard Edward Rafferty, August 15, 1950

Father Howard Rafferty (17 Jul 1914 to 29 Mar 1991) was Carmelite priest. This interview was supposed to have occurred at the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra Portugal on August 15, 1950. Pope Pius XII would have authorised and organised this interview. A certain Father Luis acted as interpreter. This interview was with the Impostor because contrary to everything the real Sister Lúcia had stated in the past, the Impostor introduced a new condition.

Interview below:

FR: First of all, did Our lady of Mount Carmel come at Fatima.?

Impostor: Oh, yes Father, she did. Oh yes she came.

FR: Did you know that it was Our Lady of Mount Carmel? In some of the books the writers say that you were not sure what you said seen on the 13th of October because so many things happened one after the other that you couldn’t possibly remember everything.—that is was so confused that you couldn’t tell what color our Lady was wearing or how she was dressed or anything else. How did you know?”

Impostor: Oh Father I knew it was Our Lady of Mount Carmel because in Sept of 1917 Our Blessed Mother told me that she was going to come as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. There was no doubt in my mind that I was seeing what Our Lady told me I was going to see a month before it actually happened.

FR: Well how did she look?

Impostor: She looked like the picture in the parish church.

FR: Why did Our Lady come that way? What did she mean?”

Impostor: She meant that we should wear the scapular.

FR: How do you know that? She didn’t say anything when she came with the scapular?

Impostor: Father, and she began pounding the grill-work, I saw the Blessed Mother and I know what she meant! If I had misinterpreted her message or had a different idea than what she wanted me to have Our Lady would have spoken about the scapular.

FR: Now let’s get this straight, I am going back to America. I probably will never be here again and never see you again, Everyone in America believe there are four conditions of the Fatima message:

First of all, we are to say the Rosary every day
Secondly we are to offer the sacrifices of our daily lives
Thirdly, we are to make communions of reparations on First Saturdays.
Finally, we are to consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Impostor: Oh there is one more condition- the wearing of the scapular-the symbol of our consecration.

FR: Well, now let me get this straight, you mean to say that if someone did all four things and didn’t wear the scapular that he would not fulfil what our Lady asked for?

Impostor: He could not fulfil- He could not fulfil what Our Lady asked for at Fatima if he refused to wear the scapular!

FR: Well, in other words it isn’t just something that our Lady would like us to do it is something that is essential to the message In other words if you don’t wear the scapular you could not follow that message.

Impostor: Exactly, you could not follow the message of Fatima unless you add also the fifth condition which is the wearing of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady.

Are we to really believe the real Sister Lúcia since 1917 till 1950, a span of 33 years forgot to mention that the wearing of a Scapular would be required to fulfil what the angel asked? This is clearly an orchestrated interview with an impostor with an agenda. This was Father Rafferty’s first ever meeting with the seer of Cova da Iria and he described her as:

“I assure you that she doesn’t look delicate. She doesn’t even look thin. She is on the plump side. Recall the features of her face, as you have seen her in pictures rough sort of features — Thick features you would say.”

This is clearly the impostor as the real Sister Lúcia was on the thinner side and certainly would not pound the grill as stated earlier by Father Rafferty. The impostor also says Mary instead of the Lady of the Rosary.

Impostor Interview with Father Joseph Schweigl on September 2nd 1952.

Father Joseph Schweigl (1894 to 1964) was Austrian Jesuit sent by Pope Pius XII to interview and interrogate the seer of Cova da Iria. Once again this was supposed to have occurred at the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra, Portugal.

Father Joseph Schweigl had never met the real Sister Lúcia but was instructed by the then Pope to obtain information about the Third Secret. This interview has never been made public but the myth that the third secret consists of two parts commences here.

It should be noted there are not three Secrets but only one Secret which Sister Lúcia divided into three parts. Father Joseph Schweigl introduces the myth that the third part of the Secret is itself comprised of two parts. This claim has overtime proven to be false.

No details of who attended this interview with the impostor, if it happened at all, have been made available.

Impostor Interview with Father Riccardo Lombardi in October 1953.

Father Riccardo Lombardi was an Italian priest who was granted an interview about the Better World Movement. his was published in the Vatican newspaper Osservatore della Domenica on February 7, 1954.

Interview below:

Fr. Lombardi: Tell me, is the ‘Better World Movement’ a response of the Church to the words spoken to Our Lady?

Impostor: Father, there is certainly a great need for this renewal. If it is not done, and taking into account the present development of humanity, only a limited number of the human race will be saved.

Fr. Lombardi: Do you really believe that many will go to Hell? I hope that God will save the greater part of humanity.

Impostor: Father, many will be lost.

Fr. Lombardi: It is true that the world is full of evil, but there is always a hope of salvation.

Impostor: No Father, many will be lost.

If this interview even actually occurred, it’s clear the agenda is to legitimise the ‘Better World Movement’ – an organisation created the year before on the 10th of February 1952 on the orders of Pius XII and was run by Fr. Lombardi.

This is the same Pius XII that claims to have witnessed not one but four personal Sun Miracles while walking in his garden in Rome in 1950. Pius XII stated:

“The sun, which was still quite high, looked like a pale, opaque sphere, entirely surrounded by a luminous circle,” he recalled he could look at it “without the slightest bother. There was a very light little cloud in front of it.” He also said the sun “moved outward slightly, either spinning, or moving from left to right and vice versa.”

This is a clear attempt by the Vatican to rip off the narrative of the genuine October 13th 1917 Sun Miracle, prophesied 3 months in advance and witnessed by tens of thousands, which had occurred 33 years earlier. Such a ludicrous claim by Pope Pius XII could only have been made if the real Sister Lúcia was no longer alive because her opinion on Pius XII claims of witnessing an identical Sun Miracle 4 times would have been sought after. This fabrication by Pius XII shows how desperate the Vatican was to control the real Sister Lúcia’s narrative of the Sun Miracle and the Secret given to her.

Impostor Interview with Father Augustine Fuentes on December 26, 1957

Father Augustin Fuentes, from Mexico, was preparing to become the postulator of the causes for beatification of Francisco and Jacinta Marto – the other two children who had witnessed the appearances of the Lady of the Rosary. Once again, this priest was sent by the same Pope Pius XII.

Upon returning back to his native Mexico, in a speech in front of the sisters of Motherhouse of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Mexico on May 22, 1958, Fr. Fuentes said:

FF: I wish only to tell you about the last conversation which I had with Sister Lucy on the 26th of December last year. I met her in her convent. She was very sad, very pale and emaciated. She said to me:

Impostor: NO ONE HAS PAID ANY ATTENTION – Father, the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad. The good continue on their way but without giving any importance to Her Message. The bad, not seeing the punishment of God actually falling upon them, continue their life of sin without even caring about the message. But believe me, Father, God will chastise the world and this will be in a terrible manner. The punishment from Heaven is imminent.

Impostor: THE SECRET NOT REVEALED – Father, how much time is there before 1960 arrives? It will be very sad for everyone, not one person will rejoice at all if beforehand the world does not pray and do penance. I am not able to give any other details because it is still a secret. According to the will of the Most Holy Virgin, only the Holy Father and the Bishop of Fatima are permitted to know the secret, but they have chosen to not know it so that they would not be influenced. This is the third part of the Message of Our Lady which will remain secret until 1960.

Impostor: RUSSIA, THE SCOURGE OF GOD – Tell them Father, that many times, the Most Holy Virgin told my cousins Francisco and Jacinta, as well as myself, that many nations will disappear from the face of the earth. She said that Russia will be the instrument of chastisement chosen by Heaven to punish the whole world if we do not beforehand obtain the conversion of that poor nation.

Impostor: THE DECISIVE BATTLE» BETWEEN MARY AND SATAN – THE FALLING AWAY OF CONSECRATED SOULS AND PRIESTS – Father, the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin. And the devil knows what it is that most offends God and which in a short space of time will gain for him the greatest number of souls. Thus the devil does everything to overcome souls consecrated to God, because in this way the devil will succeed in leaving the souls of the faithful abandoned by their leaders, thereby the more easily will he seize them. That which afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus is the fall of religious and priestly souls. The devil knows that religious and priests who fall away from their beautiful vocation drag numerous souls to hell… The devil wishes to take possession of consecrated souls. He tries to corrupt them in order to lull to sleep the souls of laypeople and thereby lead them to final impenitence. He employs all tricks, even going so far as to suggest the delay of entrance into religious life. Resulting from this is the sterility of the interior life, and among the laypeople, coldness (lack of enthusiasm) regarding the subject of renouncing pleasures and the total dedication of themselves to God.

Impostor: THAT WHICH SANCTIFIED JACINTA AND FRANCISCO – Tell them also Father, that my cousins Francisco and Jacinta sacrificed themselves because in all the apparitions of the Most Holy Virgin, they always saw Her very sad. She never smiled at us. This sadness, this anguish which we noted in Her penetrated our souls. This sadness is caused by the offences against God and the punishments which menace sinners. And so, we children did not know what to think except to invent various means of praying and making sacrifices. The other thing which sanctified these children was to see the vision of hell.

Impostor: THE MISSION OF SISTER LUCY – Father, that is why my mission is not to indicate to the world the material punishments which are certain to come if the world does not pray and do penance beforehand. No! My mission is to indicate to everyone the imminent danger we are in of losing our souls for all eternity if we remain obstinate in sin.

Impostor: THE URGENCY OF CONVERSION – Father, we should not wait for an appeal to the world to come from Rome on the part of the Holy Father, to do penance. Nor should we wait for the call to penance to come from our bishops in our diocese, nor from the religious congregations. No! Our Lord has already very often used these means and the world has not paid attention. That is why now, it is necessary for each one of us to begin to reform himself spiritually. Each person must not only save his own soul but also all the souls that God has placed on our path. The devil does all in his power to distract us and to take away from us the love for prayer; we shall be saved together or we shall be damned together.

Impostor: LAST TIMES OF THE WORLD – Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world but She made me understand this for three reasons.

Impostor: THE FINAL BATTLE – The first reason is because She told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Hence from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility.

Impostor: THE LAST REMEDIES – The second reason is because She said to my cousins as well as to myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others.

Impostor: THE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT. The third reason is because, in the plans of Divine Providence, God always, before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies. Now, when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever, then, as we say in our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with a certain trepidation the last means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother. It is with a certain trepidation because if you despise and repulse this ultimate means we will not have any more forgiveness from Heaven because we will have committed a sin which the Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Spirit. This sin consists of openly rejecting, with full knowledge and consent, the salvation which He offers. Let us remember that Jesus Christ is a very good Son and that He does not permit that we offend and despise His Most Holy Mother. We have recorded through many centuries of Church history the obvious testimony which demonstrates, by the terrible chastisements which have befallen those who have attacked the honour of His Most Holy Mother, how Our Lord Jesus Christ has always defended the honour of His Mother.

Impostor: PRAYER AND SACRIFICE AND THE HOLY ROSARY – the two means to save the world are prayer and sacrifice. Regarding the Holy Rosary: Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or, above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.

Impostor:DEVOTION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY – Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Most Holy Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon, and as the certain door by which we are to enter Heaven.

Source: Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité in Volume III of his series The Whole Truth About Fatima.

When compared to previous interviews anyone in a right mind can see this is a complete fabrication and cannot even be called an interview but rather a giant grotesque work of propaganda.

The Lady of the Rosary has now become the Virgin Mother, the Immaculate Heart of the Lady of the Rosary has turned into the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The supposed deadline of the 1960s is mentioned for the first time ever. The Heart of Jesus was never mentioned before. Satan and the devil is mentioned for the first time ever. The real sister Lúcia never once mentioned Satan or the devil. Jesus Christ as the son of the Holy Mother is mentioned for the first time ever.

The real Sister Lúcia, in 1941 published in her Memoirs that if the angel’s warning were not headed, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world. The deadline given by the angel was the pontificate period of Pius XI which ended in February the 10^th 1939, not the 1960s as later claimed by the impostor.

Soon after the Carmelite Convent published the following from the impostor:

Father Fuentes spoke to me in his capacity as Postulator for the causes of beatification of the servants of God, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. We spoke solely on things connected with this subject; therefore, whatever else he refers to is neither exact nor true. I am sorry about it, for I do not understand what good can be done for souls when it is not based on God, Who is the Truth. I know nothing, and could therefore say nothing, about such punishments, which are falsely attributed to me.

Father Alonso, who in the past had met the real Sister Lúcia agreed that Fr. Fuentes made up the interview.

The Father Fuentes interview and it’s subsequent publication all over the world was a false flag operation to mislead the public. By the Vatican denouncing the interview as a fraud after the horse had bolted gave the unsuspecting public the idea Father Fuentes had discovered something new and revealing that had yet not been disclosed, but the Vatican was quietly holding on to. This in effect distorts the genuine message already published by the real Sister Lúcia back in 1941.

The next time the impostor emerged for an interview or to the public was 10 years later in 1967.

The Secret

It’s often reported Lúcia was given three separate secrets at the Cova da Iria but this is incorrect. It’s one secret, given at the third appearance of the Lady of the Rosary, which Lúcia recounted in her Memoirs 1941.

The details of the Secret have been somewhat contested over time. The so called third part of the Secret may not be genuine as it was not included in Sister Lúcia’s Memoirs of 1941 and only released in the year 2000 longer after Sister Lúcia had been replaced by the impostor in 1948.

Part I

As Our Lady spoke these last words, she opened her hands once more, as she had done during the two previous months.

Part II

You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, Deus 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 Deus, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius Xl.

When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by Deus 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 conserved.

Part III (may not be genuine)

Analysis of the Secret

From the first part of the secret we have confirmation of the existence of Hell, a description of Demons and the existence of souls in human form. The second part of the secret emphasises on the consecration of Russia to the Lady of the Rosary’s Immaculate Heart and the consequences if this is not done in time.
