SAINT OF THE DAY Our Lady of Fatima (Continued) JULY 15, 2018 Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917. The text of the Third Secret, ST. according to the Vatican, was published on 26 June 2000. The following are Lucia’s words: St. Bonaventure, known as "the seraphic doctor," was I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me born at Bagnoregio, in the Lazio region of central Italy, in to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and 1221. He received the name of Bonaventure in consequence through your Most Holy Mother and mine. After the two parts of an exclamation of St. , when, in response which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a to the pleading of the child's mother, the saint prayed for little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left John's recovery from a dangerous illness, and, foreseeing the hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they future greatness of the little John, cried out "O Buona would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with ventura"-O good fortune! the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her At the age of twenty-two St. Bonaventure entered the right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel Franciscan Order.

Our Lady of Fatima ~ The Second Secret You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.
