Did you give yourself to Christ?

Did you love as he loved?

Did you pray as he prayed?

Did you forgive us?

He forgave.

We are coming to the end of this message.

But before we close, I want to take you back to Fatima one final time.

I want to take you back to October 13, 1917, the day of the miracle of the sun.

70,000 people gathered at the coaria that day.

believers and skeptics alike, journalists who had come to mock, scientists who had come to debunk.

And at noon, after the rain and the mud, after the long cold weight, the sun broke through the clouds and it danced.

It It hurled itself in the perception of those 70,000 witnesses toward the earth.

People fell to their knees screaming.

People who had been soaking wet for hours found their clothes dry.

People who had been sick reported healing.

70,000 witnesses.

This was reported in the secular press of Portugal in the newspaper written by people who did not believe who had come to disprove and who instead found themselves on their knees in the mud weeping believing God does not need our belief to act but our belief opens us to receive what he is offering.

And what was happening at that moment while the sun danced while the crowd wept and prayed in the vision of the three children our lady of Fatima appeared and then beside her appeared our lady of sorrows and St.

Joseph and the child Jesus and finally our lord himself appeared and he blessed the world in the form of a cross.

He aimed a r the instrument of his suffering and his triumph.

The sign that St.

Paul calls in the first letter to the Corinthians chapter 1 verse 18.

Folly to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

The power of God is in the cross, not in the missiles, not in the nuclear arsenals, not in the diplomacy of nations.

The power of God is in the cross.

And that cross has already won.

It won on Calvary.

It won at the empty tomb.

It wins in every soul that surreners to the mercy of Christ.

It is winning right now in ways the world cannot see.

in ways that will only be clear when we stand on the other side of eternity and look back at this moment and understand finally understand the love that was at work in all of this.

So is the third secret of Fatima unfolding right now.

I believe and I say this with all the reverence and humility at my disposal.

I believe we are living in the shadow of Fatima’s warnings.

I believe the events unfolding in the Middle East, the war between Iran and Israel, the involvement of the great powers, the spiritual crisis within the church, the collapse of Christian civilization in the West.

I believe all of these things are bound together in a providential moment that heaven has been preparing us for.

I believe the third secret is not merely a historical document.

I believe it is a living warning, a living invitation, an urgent, merciful cry from a mother who loves her children too much to be silent while they walk toward destruction.

And I believe with a faith that death itself cannot shake.

I believe in the triumph.

The triumph of the immaculate heart.

The triumph that our lady promised.

The triumph that is not coming.

It is already won in the eternal councils of God.

We are simply living through the pages that preceded.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

The Lord is with us.

Our Lady is interceding.

The angels are at their posts.

And we, you and I, we have been given the extraordinary, humbling, awe inspiring privilege of living in this moment.

This moment that saints and prophets long to see.

This moment that is the crucible in which souls are being forged for eternity.

Be faithful.

Be prayerful.

Be fearless.

And pray.

Pray with all your heart that the immaculate heart of Mary will triumph soon.

That the world will find its peace in Christ.

That every soul, even the most hardened, even the most lost, even those now firing missiles at one another in the ancient lands of scripture that every one of those souls will find their way home to the God who is even now running toward them with arms wide open.

May God bless you.

May our Lady of Fatima intercede for you and for this broken beloved world.

And may the sacred heart of Jesus reign every heart today, tomorrow, and unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
