Hi all, 

I read a quote from Sr Lucia, she was talking to her nephew who was a devout priest.

He said " surely there's always hope for our salvation"
Lucia " no father.................. many will be lost"



Now this worried me a little, as she implied that there won't always be hope for salvation, that it's like, the gates of salvation will almost be closed at some point?

Am I reading too much into this?????

Just confused when she answered "no father" 


We know many will be lost.. always have been throughout history, but people have always had hope for salvation and could turn to God.

You haven't given much to go on.
Where did you read the quote?
Sr Lucy didn't converse in English so who did the translation?
Did somebody overhear a private conversation?
Which Sr Lucy are we talking about?


Salvation is an individual thing in the sense that each man must work out his own, and there is hope for salvation up until the moment of death. That does not mean that many will not be lost.

It also doesn't mean none will be saved.  OP needs to give more info.

.
There is nothing new about the principle that everyone is at risk for losing their salvation.
.
All the saints were very much concerned with keeping on the straight and narrow as death was approaching. 
.
St. Therese of Lisieux had enormous preoccupation with the fear that she was in danger of committing a sin at the last moment. 
.
If that was the case with a nun like her, what does that mean for the rest of us?

She had passed away twenty years before the Fatima apparitions.
