In the Pope’s sermon he says this:
We would be mistaken to think that Fatima’s prophetic mission is complete. Here there takes on new life the plan of God which asks humanity from the beginning: “Where is your brother Abel …] Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!” (Gen 4:9). Mankind has succeeded in unleashing a cycle of death and terror, but failed in bringing it to an end… In sacred Scripture we often find that God seeks righteous men and women in order to save the city of man and he does the same here, in Fatima, when Our Lady asks: “Do you want to offer yourselves to God, to endure all the sufferings which he will send you, in an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended and of supplication for the conversion of sinners?” (Memoirs of Sister Lúcia, I, 162).
At a time when the human family was ready to sacrifice all that was most sacred on the altar of the petty and selfish interests of nations, races, ideologies, groups and individuals, our Blessed Mother came from heaven, offering to implant in the hearts of all those who trust in her the Love of God burning in her own heart. At that time it was only to three children, yet the example of their lives spread and multiplied, especially as a result of the travels of the Pilgrim Virgin, in countless groups throughout the world dedicated to the cause of fraternal solidarity. May the seven years which separate us from the centenary of the apparitions hasten the fulfilment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.
Father Z comments on this:
There is some discussion whether or not Russia has been consecrated in the way the Blessed Virgin asked. It seems that Russia has not “converted”.
However, at the end of his sermon, the Holy Father seems to be picking up on some of the language of the “second secret”.
“Seven years”.
Well, well, well, it would seem that the Consecration has NOT been done!!
 
Yes it has…

Our Lady did not say that the “Triumph” would come in a day or a year or many years…

Nor did she say what this would be…

The Servant of God Sr. Luicia said it was done.

If anyone outside the Pope would know here on earth…she would…

It was done.

Many things in the ways of God do not happen the way we may imagine…

Things can start…and then grow…remember of course this is private revelation and second remember Our Lady said…“in the end” …My Immaculate Heart would Triumph

(and Fr. Z was talking about the Triumph not the consecration…)

The Consecration wasn’t done. Basic logic confirms this. The promise by Our Lady was that peace would come. HEAVEN’S Peace, not what we think is peace. However, since 1984 (when those who think the Consecration was done), abortions have continued and increased. Billions of souls have been slaughtered and you think we have peace? Our Lady will keep her promise if its done. The absence of peace confirms that the Consecration hasn’t been done.

As for what Sr. Lucy said, it wasn’t Sr. Lucy that promised Heaven’s peace to the world, it was Our Lady. Sr. Lucy can be mistaken certainly.

Finally Father Z was talking about the consecration as he said it would appear it hasn’t been done.
 
Im asking this question from an ignorant standpoint so forgive me that - but what is this ‘‘consecration’’?

And what is the expected outcome? Is it that Russia would convert - to catholicism?

Surely if anything it would be an Orthodox country, not a catholic one, if religion were to blossom there?

I dont think the catholic church has ever had a large foothold in Russia, but I stand to be corrected.
 
The Church has said this consecration was done. However, I wonder if that precludes a re-consecration. Oh well, I guess time will tell. I note that the Holy Father did not say that the consecration was yet to come or had not been done, though. No news here about that.
