“I am always awaiting the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. Without that Consecration,…
"In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom, freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallized, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world."
- Edgar Cayce (18 March 1877 – 3 January 1945), Quote 1944, No. 3976-29
“I wouldn’t have chosen the Russians or Kiev or The East for salvation. But salvation is to come from the East for us all.”
- Rev. Malachi Brendan Martin (23 July 1921 – 27 July 1999) Quote 22 March 1997, New York City
"These things will come to pass so that Holy Russia may hang on the Cross with my Son to redeem the world. The only way the world can be redeemed is through suffering with my Son. Fear not. There will come a day when, under the Sign of my Son, I will lead Russia to show my Son's face to the world."
- S.D. Catherine de Hueck Doherty (15 August 1896 – 14 December 1985) Quote 1905
Satan has a done a masterful job of stopping the consecration of Russia as requested by Our Lady. The popes are to blame.
@petrus100452 I agree with much of what you wrote. However, I disagree with you on one rather important point. In a locution Our Lord Jesus told Sister Lucia of Fatima at Rianjo Spain in August 1931,
“Make it known to My ministers [Pope & Bishops] that, given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My request [Consecration of Russia], they will follow him into misfortune. It will never be too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.” - Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. II, p. 365-366
In 1936 Sr. Lucia wrote to her confessor, Fr. Gonçalves, her recollection of the decisive revelation in August 1931:
“Our Lord complainingly said to me, ‘They did not want to heed My request. Like the King of France they will repent and do so, but it will be late. Russia will already have spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The Holy Father will have much to suffer.’” - Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. II, p. 366
Sr. Lucia asked Our Lord, “Why He would not convert Russia without the Holy Father making that Consecration?”
The Lord answered, “Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that Consecration as a Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that it may extend its cult later on and put the Devotion to this Immaculate Heart alongside the Devotion to My Sacred Heart.”
“But my God, the Holy Father probably won’t believe me, unless You Yourself move him with a special inspiration.”
“The Holy Father! Pray very much for the Holy Father. He will do it, but it will be late!”
“Nevertheless, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will save Russia. It has been entrusted to Her.” - Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. II, p. 424
In 1931 it was not too late, but in 2024 it is too late (for the consecration, not for taking our refuge to Jesus and Mary). The expression "it is never too late" means that it is not too late at that point - it should have been done much earlier - but there is always a moment for the fulfilling of conditions that it is too late. I think now God will use Russia as an instrument of chastisement for the world. And - according to many prophecies - Russia will still convert and will be the country that will Glorify God the most.
@Live Mike I do not exactly know what you mean. What is in contradiction with the statements of Our Lord? And what do you mean that God's chastisement is a loving discipline of the world (I mean, of course it is, but it is nevertheless a chastisement)?
I meant... Your comment appears to be in direct contradiction with Our Lord's statements... "It will never be too late"... "they will repent and do so, but it will be late"... "He will do it, but it will be late!" @petrus100452
I hold that after the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Pope together with all the Catholic Bishops of the world in strict accordance with the request of God (13 June 1929)... Russia will become Catholic practically immediately...Then Russia will be God's specially blessed nation as His chosen instrument in the restoration of Christianity to Europe.
Recall the hopeful promise of Our Lady of Fatima when She delivered the Great Secret, 13 July 1917: “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.”
- Memorias e Cartas da Irma Lucia, 1973, p. 340-341
One more comment from Live Mike
U.S. Air Force Chaplain Father John P. Duggan once asked Padre Pio about the future of America and Russia. Padre Pio said plainly,
“The Russian people will be converted. Their total conversion will happen very fast. The conversion of the United States will be slow but sure.”
On another occasion, Padre Pio reiterated this same prophecy to an American soldier, Corporal Leone Fanning (later Father Leone Fanning). Fanning asked Padre Pio about the conversion of Russia and he replied,
“Yes, Russia will be converted as the Blessed Virgin said she would. However, Russia will teach the United States a lesson in conversion.“
- Frank M. Rega, Padre Pio and America, TAN, 2005, p. 142-143; C. Bernard Ruffin, Padre Pio: The True Story, Revised and Expanded, 1991, p. 264, 266
@Live Mike Yes, this promise of Mary's Triumph is our hope. We are now experiencing, both in the USA and in Russia (and in the rest of the world) the fury of Satan to prevent this coming Triumph. We persevere in prayer and trustful patience.
The Consecration of Russia never happened according to Our Lady of Fatima's wishes and instructions. She wanted the Consecration to prevent Russia from spreading her errors throughout the world. Because the Consecration never happened (it was supposed to happen back in the 1960s, according to Our Lord's words to Sister Lucia), Marxist communism has indeed spread throughout the world. Currently we also see in the Western world a cultural Marxism which, although it does not bear the name, has the same godless laws as Communism itself. Perhaps it is still good for a pope (but the current occupant of the See of Peter will not do so as Mary asked) to consecrate Russia (in unity with all the bishops). But for the reason Mary asked this at Fatima, it is too late. The errors have spread and this cannot be reversed (except by an intervention of God Himself). But for the conversion of Russia itself, perhaps it would be good.
Fulfilling Our Lady's command requires that a valid Pope be on the throne of St. Peter - there remains much doubt about the current occupant in this regard. "Synodality" is making these doubts all the more obvious since the synodal church is a direct attempt to destroy the divine mandate of the Catholic Church. Would the true successor St. Peter do this? Or if the current occupant was at one time such, has he become the pope under the control of satan as Fr. Malachi Maritin warned was prophesied in the full 3rd Secret of Fatima? Much prayer and fasting on our part are required. Ave Maria!
