Our Lady told the Fatima children that if Russia was consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, a new era of peace would dawn. In 1984 Pope John Paul II consecrated Russia and the world, and as Fr. Joe notes, Communism collapsed within a few years. 

Father Joe tells how Francisco was a "little contemplative"; he would retreat to the attic of his house to escape the crowds, be quiet, and listen to God.All of us need to be alone and to pray at times, as Jesus did often.

What will happen if we are faithful to Our Lady's calls? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains the importance of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary: Has it happened, is it happening, or is yet to happen? Has Russia been consecrated and what do we need to do to usher in the conversion of Russia. Also, the need to do the Five First Saturdays Devotions.
