...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
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 in its 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…
