Pope Francis invokes St. John Paul II ahead of Fatima feast - Vatican Radio
Pope Francis on Wednesday said Our Lady of Fatima “invites us once again to turn to prayer, penance, and conversion.”
The Holy Father noted the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima is commemorated this year on this Friday (13 May) during his remarks to Polish-speaking pilgrims at his General Audience.
“She asks us to never offend God again. She forewarns all humanity about the necessity of abandoning oneself to God, the source of love and mercy,” Pope Francis said.
“Following the example of St. John Paul II, a great devotee of Our Lady of Fatima, let us listen attentively to the Mother of God and ask for peace for the world,” – he continued – “Praised be Jesus Christ!”
Thirty-five years ago, Pope St. John Paul II was shot by Mehmet Ali Ağca during the General Audience, which took place on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima in 1981.
The saint attributed his survival to Our Lady, and gave one of the bullets used in the attack to the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. The bullet was placed in the crown of the statue of the Virgin Mary which is housed at the shrine.

Interesting they wish to commenerate Fatima yet hold back on pertinent information! Is this not an insult to the Nth degree! Ugh ...the folly of mankind!
St. JP2 had this to say. Short story, knowledge carries responsibility. This is prior to it's release.
In a 1980 interview for the German magazine Stimme des Glaubens published in October 1981, John Paul II was asked explicitly to speak about the third secret. He said: "Because of the seriousness of its contents, in order not to encourage the world wide power of Communism to carry out certain coups, my predecessors in the chair of Peter have diplomatically preferred to withhold its publication. On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this much: if there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the earth; that, from one moment to the other, millions of people will perish... there is no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message. Many want to know merely out of curiosity, or because of their taste for sensationalism, but they forget that 'to know' implies for them a responsibility. It is dangerous to want to satisfy one's curiosity only, if one is convinced that we can do nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted."

And this was what was released. I believe it to be true. I have heard and read many interviews with clergy and laity alike, who verify this version, including Sister Lucia, herself. They are not prone to sensationalism, and I see no personal gain for them. Big picture, not many people follow Catholic media, except for me & the old church ladies making doilies in the basement of the Rectory. If we each sent these interviewees a dollar, maybe they could go to McDonalds

Thank you for the info, Paintman. I had never read the actual official version of this.And this was what was released. I believe it to be true.

In this day and age, each of us must stand firm in our beliefs and our faith. You represent your faith well, and always offer us a better understanding of the Catholic faith. I appreciate you sharing it with us.

That the wise man may hear , and increase in learning, and the man of understanding may attain unto wise councils; How I warned and warned that Satan would enter into the hierarchy in Rome , the third secret, my child , is that Satan would enter into my son's church ! Our lady of the Roses , may 13th 1978 . The enthronement of the fallen Archangel lucifer , St Pauls chapel in the Vatican and linked with concurrent satanic rites in the USA , N Carolina , 1963 . Malachi Martin wrote a book on this " Windswept House " and another book of interest is " The keys to his Blood . "

Malachi Martin swore an oath he would not reveal the 3rd Secret and to my knowledge he never did ! As for Satanism he affirmed this to be within the Vatican.....makes one think about the peodophiles and who the priests really served , it was certainly not GOD !

Debi the Diplomat here wishing to point out that all organized religions do have their own evil that sneaks in the doors, no matter what the dogma or name above the door says. Evil has come into many places these days. Makes me wonder if what Malachi said isn't also applicable to all religions to some degree. Once again, it is up to the TRUE believers of any faith to discern and serve their faith with God in their hearts. To me, it comes down to each individual serving their faith with love and honesty. The truth of any Church is dependent upon the souls within it, right down to the least of us who may have the most love within.

Father Martin was a very smart and educated man indeed. His views and theories are very thought provoking and nerve rattling all at the same time. If what he says is true, with all the evil and hatred in this world, we should all be very afraid. But we shouldn't forget to live, learn and love because the time we have here is very limited.
