Multiple Popes have unofficially connected the Miracle of Fatima with the prophesied event in the Apocalypse. If this was the prophesied event, then would it really be a private revelation? Obviously a person would not be obligated to believe this until it was officially confirmed, but if it was the prophesied event, then it was never not the prophesied event. It doesn’t suddenly become the event when it’s recognized, but when it happens.

The Church has spoken. Why are you having such an issue with that? If it updates it’s findings, then people will be obliged to believe then. However, the Vatican has made it very clear, time and time again, that it is a private devotion. We are called, therefore, to treat it as nothing more than that.
 
Amen. Good post. 14 days till the big day now!

We say a Hail Mary with the Priest after the final Mass blessing and then he says Our Lady of Fatima, we respond, pray for us.

Medjugore is not yet an approved apparition. Will it ever be? We have to wait patiently for the Vatican to decide.

Another approved apparition is Our Lady of Kibeho. There she asked for the seven Sorrows Rosary
 
I would definitely encourage you to talk to Mary personally, as you mention. She is our Mother. St. John Paul II wrote in Redemptoris Mater that Mary was given to each human person from the Cross, so that we could each have a unique mother child, and unique child-mother relationship with her. St. Max. Kolbe said that we can learn more from going directly to Mary’s Immaculate Heart than from reading an infinity of works about her. She loves you so much. She is my constant comforter and helper. As St. Stanislaus Kostka said: “what more can I say than that she is my mother?”
 
Yes, Medugorje is still controversial. They say the Pope will rule on it before the end of the year. My Irish mother in law went there seeking a cure, and said the place left her cold. The Irish are big on pilgrimages, and it’s easy to travel around Europe for them.

There are other beautiful options: Lourdes is fantastic.
 
She’s Irish? Has she been to the shrine of Our Lady of Knock, then?
 
If the Pope approved Medjugorje, I would go there, but with so many approved apparitions in Europe it’s hard for me to justify traveling to one that isn’t. I have gone to the site of one apparition that is not officially approved, but the visionary was named a Servant of God and the apparition is local to my area and not a giant tourist attraction. I don’t want to get involved with any Veronica Lueken or Garabandal situations.

Yes looking forwards to connecting to Blessed Mother Mary. In my walk - it started with Jesus, then the Father, then the getting to talk to the Holy Spirit, then his Holy Angels and now Mary, don’t quite know what to expect from her.
 
It was part of a prophesy in the Bible. The church leaders have not given a definite ruling other than to declare it worthy of belief. But, then, if the full third secret (Each secret consisted of a vision and an explanation from Our Lady, but we only have a vision from the last one) was about Vatican II (As many who read it have hinted, and why did Our Lady say to reveal it in 1960?), then why would they want to give it more credence? But, there are many credible people who point out it is a public revelation:

It was accompanied by a miracle the likes of which have not been seen since Biblical times. On par with the Parting of the Red Sea.
 
Father Malachi Martin read the third secret, and he was stationed at the Vatican at the time, being a Jesuit.

Father Gruner ran The Fatima Center for decades.

We owe God worship. The Rosary takes 15 minutes. It’s the least we can do.
 
Cardinal Odi said:

Thirty years later, after much water had run under the bridge, Cardinal Oddi confessed to the same magazine (30 Giorni): “The Secret of Fatima contains a sad prophecy about the Church and, for this reason Pope John did not divulge it. And neither have Paul VI or John Paul II. It seems to me that what is basically written is that the Pope would convene a Council in 1960 which, contrary to expectations, would indirectly result in many difficulties for the Church.” (3)
