Our Lady of Fatima said, "If My
requests are heeded, many souls will be saved and there will be peace." Among Her requests was
that the Third Secret of Fatima be revealed to the world no later than 1960. In the words of Brother
Michael of the Holy Trinity (Little Brothers of the Sacred Heart), even if we know what the themes
of this Secret are, "nothing is so important, so necessary, so urgent as to make known the text
in its limpid truth, in its full prophetic richness, in its divine profundity and transcendence. For
between everything we could say about it, and the very words of the Queen of Prophets, there is of
course an abyss!!"
In 1946, Sister Lucy was asked when the Third Secret would be revealed to the
world, and without hesitation she said, "In 1960." In 1955 Cardinal Ottaviani asked
her why it was not to be opened before 1960. She told him, "because then it will seem
clearer (mais claro)." Sister Lucy had made the Bishop of Fatima-Leiria promise that the
Secret would be read to the world at her death, but in no event later than 1960, "because
the blessed Virgin wishes it so." And from Canon Barthas: "Moreover, it [the Third
Secret] will soon be known, since Sister Lucy affirms that Our Lady wills that it can be
published beginning in 1960."
In 1960:
Many reliable
witnesses, including Our Lady’s message at Bayside, allow us to establish the fact with certitude,
that the Third Secret was to be revealed to the world no later than 1960, by express wish of Our
Lady of Fatima:
-
Cardinal
Cerejeira:
“From the two parts of the Secret already revealed, the third part has not been made known,
but it has been written and placed in a sealed envelope and will be opened in 1960, we know
enough to enable us to conclude that the salvation of the world, in this extraordinary movement
of history, has been placed by God in the Immaculate Heart of Mary.” (Cardinal Cerejeira,
September 7, 1946, at the closing of the Marian Congress of Campinas, Brazil)
-
Canon
Galamba:
“When the bishop refused to open the letter, Lucy made him promise that it would definitely be
opened and read to the world either at her death or in 1960, whichever would come first.” (La
Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, pp. 46-47)
-
Fr.
Jongen: Fr. Jongen interrogated Sister Lucy on February 3-4, 1946: “You have already
made know two parts of the Secret. When will the time arrive for the third part?” “I
communicated the third part in a letter to the Bishop of Leiria,” she answered. “But it
cannot be made known before 1960.” (Review Mediatrice et
Reine, October 1946, pp. 110-112)
-
John
Haffert: “At the bishop’s house (in Leiria), I sat at the table on his right, with the
four Canons. During that first dinner, Canon Jose Galamba de Oliveira turned to me when the
bishop had left the room momentarily and asked: “Why don’t you ask the bishop to open the
Secret?” Endeavoring not to show my ignorance concerning Fatima—which at that time was
almost complete—I simply looked at him without expression. He continued: "The bishop can
open the Secret. He doesn’t have to wait until 1960.” (Dear Bishop! John Haffert, AMI 1981, pp. 3-4)
-
Cardinal
Cerejeira:
In February 1960 the Patriarch of Lisbon reported the directions which the Bishop of Leiria
“has passed on to him” on the subject of the Third Secret: “Bishop da Silva enclosed (the
envelope sealed by Lucy) in another envelope on which he indicated that the letter had to be
opened in 1960 by himself, Bishop Jose Correia da Silva, if he was still alive, or if not, by
the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon.” (Novidades,
February 24, 1960, quoted by La Documentation catholique,
June 19, 1960, col. 751)
-
Canon
Barthas:
during his conversations with Sister Lucy on October 17-18, 1946, he had the opportunity to
question her on the Third Secret. He writes: “When will the third element of the Secret be
revealed to us?” Already in 1946, to this question Lucy and the Bishop of Leiria answered me
uniformly, without hesitation and without comment: “In 1960.” And when I pushed my audacity
so far as to ask why it was necessary to wait until then, the only response I received from
either one was: “Because the Blessed Virgin wishes it
so.” (Barthas, Fatima, merveille du XXe
siecle, p. 83. Fatima-editions, 1952)
-
Canon
Galamba:
“The third part of the Secret, written down by Sister Lucy, was sealed by the hands of His
Grace the Bishop of Leiria and will be opened either after the seer’s death or at the latest
in 1960 (ou apos a morte da vidente ou o mais tardar em 1960).” (Fatima,
altar do mundo, Vol. II, p. 147)
-
The
Armstrongs:
On May14, 1953, Lucy received a visit from the Armstrongs, who were able to question her on the
third Secret. In their account published in 1955, they confirmed that the third Secret “had to
be opened and divulged in 1960.” (A. O. Armstrong,
Fatima, pilgrimage to peace, The World’s Work, Kingswood, Surrey, 1955)
-
Cardinal
Ottaviani:
On May 17, 1955, Cardinal Ottaviani, Pro-Prefect of the Holy Office, came to the Carmel of Saint
Teresa at Coimbra. He interrogated Lucy on the third Secret; and in his conference of 1967
recalled: “The message was not to be opened before 1960. I asked Sister Lucy, ‘Why this
date?’ She answered, ‘Because then it will seem clearer (mais claro).” (La
Documentation catholique, March 19, 1967, col. 542)
-
Cardinal
Tisserant:
On October 13, 1956, Cardinal Tisserant, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for the Eastern
Church, came as a papal legate to bless “Domus Pacis” at Fatima, the international
headquarters of the Blue Army. During his homily he declared: “A part of this message must
remain hidden until 1960; but a part has been made public in 1942 by the ecclesiastical
authorities…” (quoted by G. Renault, Fatima, p.
225, Plon, 1957)
-
Father
Schweigl:
In November 1956, Father Schweigl titled a chapter of his little work, “Towards the Year
1960…” and he writes, “… The third part of the message must remain secret until 1960.”
(Fatima e la conversione della Russia, p. 13, Rome,
1956)
-
Father
Joaquin Alonso, official archivist of Fatima: “Other bishops also spoke—and with authority—about the year 1960
as the date indicated for opening the famous letter. Thus, when the then titular Bishop of Tiava,
and Auxiliary Bishop of Lisbon asked Lucy when the Secret was to be opened, he always received
the same answer: in 1960.” (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, p. 46)
-
Father
Joaquin Alonso:
“When Don Jose, the first Bishop of Leiria and Sister Lucy agreed that the letter was to be
opened in 1960, they obviously meant that its contents should be made public for the good of the
Church and the world.” (ibid., p. 54)
-
Bishop
Venancio: “I
think that the letter will not be opened before 1960. Sister Lucy had asked that it should not
be opened before her death, or not before 1960. We are now in 1959 and Sister Lucy is in good
health.”
(La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, p. 46)
-
Father
Fuentes:
Father Fuentes interviewed Sister Lucy on December 26, 1957 and told him: “Father, the Most
Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid attention to Her Message, neither the good nor
the bad. The good continue on their way but without giving any importance to Her Message… I am
still not able to give any other details because it is still a secret. According to the will of
the Most Holy Virgin, only the Holy Father and the Bishop of Fatima are permitted to know the
Secret, but they have chosen not to know it so that they would not be influenced. This is the third part [third Secret] of the Message of Our Lady which
will remain secret until 1960.”
(La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr.
Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, p. 103-104)
-
F.
Stein:
“The testimonies which have announced the revelation of the Secret for 1960 are of such weight
and so numerous that in our opinion, even if the ecclesiastical authorities of Fatima [in 1959
the experts themselves were still unaware that Rome had taken the Secret from the Bishop of
Leiria over two years previously] had not yet resolved to publish the Secret in 1960, they would
now see themselves forced to do so by the circumstances.” (Mensagem
de Fatima, July-August, 1959)
-
Father
Dias Coelho:
“If it were only a question of much ado about nothing, this would already be sufficient reason
for dealing with the matter, at least with the purpose of quashing these rumors. But in reality
testimony on the existence of the third part of the Secret of Fatima (the first and second part
having been published already in 1942) is so weighty, coming from persons like Don Jose, Bishop
of Leiria, his successor, Don Venancio, Cardinal Cerejeira, and Cardinal Tisserant, that it
leaves no doubt. Also, we can use, as an unquestionable fact, this assertion of Dr. Galamba de
Oliveira (in 1953) in Fatima, Altar do Mundo: ‘The
third part of the Secret was sealed in the hands of His Grace the Bishop of Leiria, and will be
opened either after the seer’s death or at the latest in 1960.’” (L’Homme
Nouveau, No. 269, November 22, 1959)
-
Canon
Barthas: "We know that there remains an element still reserved, of which it is useless
to guess the content. Moreover, it will soon be known, since Lucy affirms that Our Lady wills
that it can be published beginning in 1960." (The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. III,
Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity, p. 500, footnote 33)
-
Father
Joaquin Alonso, noting the effects of the disobedience of the hierarchy not to disclose the
third Secret in 1960, as indicated by Our Lady of Fatima:
“Simple folks waited up until May 13 [1960] when it was believed that the revelation [of the
third Secret] would be made. Later, people felt a profound disenchantment and disappointment
which did great harm to devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, both inside and outside Portugal.” (La
Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, p. 46)
All
testimonies and statements reveal clearly and with certitude, that Heaven (not Sister Lucy!) but Heaven,
desired and willed that Our Lady’s third Secret of Fatima was to be revealed to the whole world no
later than 1960.
Sister Lucy writes the Third Secret
In 1941 Sister Lucy had written her third and
fourth memoirs, writing the first two parts of the great Secret of Fatima. In her third memoir
Sister Lucy has made it clear that "the secret is made up of three parts, two of which I am
going to reveal." In her fourth memoir she restated the first two parts, leaving out once again
"that part of the Secret which I am not permitted to reveal at present." Yet in the fourth
memoir Sister Lucy did reveal one additional fragment of the Secret which had not appeared in the
third memoir: Before the "O my Jesus", and after the end of the second part of the Secret,
we find this curious sentence, obviously deprived of its context: "Em Portugal se conservera
sempre o doguema da fe." - "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be
preserved." It is interesting to note that the first two parts of the Secret do not mention the
subject of the loss of dogma at all.
In September of 1944, Bishop da Silva
suggested that Sister Lucy write down the text of the Third Secret, but she said that she could not
take that responsibility upon herself without a formal, written order. Even when the order was given
a month later by her bishop, she was unable to commit to writing this Third Secret. Sister Lucy, who
had lived a life of obedience to her superiors, was not physically able to obey the command. She
attributed this paralysis to a preternatural cause.[1] According to Frere Michel in his
monumental book on the Third Secret:
"Having received the formal order to write down the Secret in
mid-October, two months later Sister Lucy still had not done so. This shows how much the writing
of this text made her tremble. Indeed as she took up her pen, she found her incapable of writing.
In effect, as she asked Don Garcia for advice she added that she had wanted to obey several times,
that she had sat down to write, without being able to. This mysterious impediment still existed on
December 24, 1943, where she makes it clear in a letter to Don Garcia 'that this phenomenon was
not due to natural causes.'
"...Undoubtedly we see it as Satan's final outburst against the
messenger of the Immaculate One, guessing what a great weapon this prophecy would be, once it was
set down in black and white, against his domination and his claim of being able to infiltrate the
very heart of the Church...thus the seer's great trial was the measure of how great was the event
about to be accomplished." [2]
Finally, on January 2, 1944, Sister Lucy was able to write down the text of
the Secret in the chapel at the convent of Tuy. According to the account of Canon Martins dos Reis, she
was able to proceed only "after Our Lady appeared to her to tell her to write the famous secret
... in conformity with what had been asked of her."[3]
On January 9, 1944, Sister Lucy wrote to
Bishop da Silva to tell him that the Third Secret of Fatima had been written down and placed in a
sealed envelope. On June 17, 1944, the envelope was delivered to Bishop da Silva, by Sister Lucy's
bishop confessor in Tuy. The five month delay had resulted from Sister Lucy's unwillingness to
entrust the envelope to anyone but a bishop. Bishop da Silva made the famous promise to Sister Lucy
that the envelope would be unsealed and the Secret revealed not later than 1960.
Our Lady, Queen of the angels and saints, and our spiritual Mother, has our
eternal salvation at heart more than anyone we will ever know. Let us pray that the real Third Secret
will soon be revealed, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls!
"How
I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms
of 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 13, 1978
