...The Catholic Church regards the three parts of the Fatima Secret and the total Fatima message to be important and of
great value to the spiritual lives of its people. It consists only of prophecies about the new condition of the Church in the
world.... Fatima and its Secret do present us with something deeply serious, for they bring us face to face with the
mysteries of eternal life. Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions.Faith and prayer are forces
which can influence history and that in the end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than
armies...On the 13th of October of 1917, Our Lady of Fatima told the 3 little shepherds 3 secrets, after what was called
the Miracle of the Sun, an alleged miraculous event that was witnessed by as many as 100,000 people. According to
many witness statements, after a downfall of rain, the clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disk
in the sky. It was said to be significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights across the landscape, the
shadows on the landscape, the people, and the surrounding clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened
towards the earth in a zigzag pattern. Witnesses reported that the ground and their previously wet clothes became
completely dry…The 3 secrets from Our Lady of Fatima: 1-the first war would finish but if people didn't stop offending
God, another worse one would come. 2-That there would be a revolution in Russia and persecutions against the
church; everyone should have faith to withstand the advance of evil (showing the vision of hell, a lot of fire that seemed
to be under the earth where demons and souls were put in human forms burning among screams and wailings of pain.
3-The Pope revealed partially the third secret on his visit to Fátima on the 13th of May of 2000: after Our Lady said the
two secrets, we have seen an angel a little farther up with an incandescent sword on the left hand that seemed to set the
world on fire. But the flames of the sword went out with the shine coming from the Virgin's right hand, pointed inits
direction. Several Bishops, priests, religious and nuns going up a mountain, at the top of which there was a big cross.
The Pope, before arriving there, crossed a city in ruins and he went praying for the dead bodies that he found on the
road. Arriving to the top of the mountain he was shot by soldiers and likewise were also shot religious people and
several people of several social classes…
