“...my Immaculate Heart will triumph”

[MariaChristi]

.

… “my Immaculate Heart will triumph”. What does this mean? The Heart open to God, purified by contemplation of God, is stronger than guns and weapons of every kind. The fiat of Mary, the word of her heart, has changed the history of the world, because it brought the Saviour into the world—because, thanks to her Yes, God could become man in our world and remains so for all time. The Evil One has power in this world, as we see and experience continually; he has power because our freedom continually lets itself be led away from God. But since God himself took a human heart and has thus steered human freedom towards what is good, the freedom to choose evil no longer has the last word. From that time forth, the word that prevails is this: “In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). The message of Fatima invites us to trust in this promise. (Underlining is mine)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The words above are quoted from the Vatican document on the Message of Fatima, issued by then Joseph Card. Ratzinger, as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who is now our Pope Emeritus, (Benedict XVI). In the very beginning of this document we read:
.

…Throughout history there have been supernatural apparitions and signs which go to the heart of human events and which, to the surprise of believers and non-believers alike, play their part in the unfolding of history. These manifestations can never contradict the content of faith, and must therefore have their focus in the core of Christ’s proclamation: the Father’s love which leads men and women to conversion and bestows the grace required to abandon oneself to him with filial devotion. This too is the message of Fatima which, with its urgent call to conversion and penance, draws us to the heart of the Gospel.

Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions…

May God help us, by His Grace, to continue to heed the ongoing prophetic message of conversion and penance, given by Our Lady of the Rosary, at Fatima. Let us pray with her for our salvation and the salvation of the world. Each of us is living in this period of history by God’s Will. We were born for these times. Let us be faithful to His Grace through Mary, our Mother and Model.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us and with us, for the world Jesus died to save. Triumph in our hearts that we may say our “Yes” as you and Jesus gave yourselves on Calvary, to our Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
