The consecration of Russia, asked at Fatima in 1917, was to stop atheism from spreading to other nations. That consecration never happened then and Russia spread its atheism. ... So, what exactly is this consecration all about?
The Consecration
would have prevented Russia from spreading its errors had it been accomplished when requested, and it may well prevent a nuclear war and the annihilation of Nations if it is done next week, but the conversion of Russia and the period of peace will follow whenever it takes place. In 1931, Christ said the consecration would happen until after Russia had spread her errors:
“They did not wish to heed My request. Like the king of France, they will repent and do it, but it will be late. Russia will have already spread her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church; the Holy Father will have much to suffer.”»
Commenting on the words, "In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The holy father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world," Frere Michele wrote: "Just as He is faithful, God is inflexible in His commands. He does not change His designs to cater to the capriciousness of men. No, He will not change His plan. He absolutely wills the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as a preliminary condition for its miraculous conversion."
As far as what the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will entail, Frere Michele wrote:
The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. 3:
THE MYSTERY OF THE THIRD SECRET
In effect we have good reasons to think that Our Lady of Fatima, appearing at the dawn of this century, at the very hour when the first Beast of the Apocalypse was taking shape – a Beast which She came to designate and denounce by name – announced equally, in Her third Secret, the events corresponding to the third image of the triptych in chapters 12 and 13 of the Apocalypse.
If Sister Lucy could declare that the third Secret was in the Apocalypse, would it not correspond precisely to this passage concerning the apostasy of the pastors of the Church, placing themselves at the service of an impious political power – chapter 13, verses 11 to 18? The fact that the first two parts of the Secret correspond, in an astonishing manner, to the preceding verses strongly inclines us to think so.
As the Secret in its entirety describes the final combat of the forces of Evil against the Immaculate Virgin, we would find there the three satanic powers described by Saint John: in the first part, the devil himself and the vision of hell corresponding to the Dragon of the Apocalypse; in the second part, the hegemony of Russian communism corresponds to the first Beast; finally, in the third part, the apostasy and treason of many pastors of the Church correspond to the description of the false lamb, the false prophet in the service of the Beast.
Moreover, in perfect coherence with our previous demonstrations on the most probable contents of the third Secret, its conclusion, full of an invincible hope and announcing a decisive victory, confirms us in this hypothesis. After the revelation of the third Secret, the Blessed Virgin continues:
«In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.»
Such a triumph, announced so solemnly – and which, as we will see, is not without an evocation of the future Jerusalem, the Christendom of tomorrow, of Chapters 21 and 22 of the Apocalypse: “and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God...” (Apoc. 21:2) – such a triumph of itself indicates above all the spiritual significance of the tragic battle preceding it. And its temporal expression – «in the end» – so heavy with implications, allows us to guess the furious struggle, no doubt even the reversals and seeming total defeat that will come before the final victory of the New Eve. Does not this triumph come to close a battle which was above all Her own, the one announced in the proto-Gospel? «She shall crush thy head.» Yes, it is She who will overcome the diabolical wave sweeping over the Church, the impiety installed even in the sanctuary, and all the obscure forces which foment apostasy. For clothed with the power of the Most High, She is more fearsome than an army in battle array: "Fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array», according to the words of the Canticle of Canticles (Ct. 6:10).
In short, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary undoubtedly refers much more to the third Secret than even the second. For the recovery of peace will be a gift from Heaven, but it is not, properly speaking, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her victory is of another order, supernatural, and then temporal by addition. It will first be the victory of the Faith, which will put an end to the time of apostasy and the great shortcomings of the Church’s pastors.
This will be the final triumph of the Woman of the Apocalypse, the Mother of the faithful and the Queen of Apostles, crowned with twelve stars,1196 Her decisive victory over the Prince of lies, instigator of all heresy, all schism, all impiety and apostasy: “Cunctas haereses tu sola interemisti in universo mundo!” You alone, O Mary Immaculate, Virgin Most Faithful and indestructible rampart of eternal Truth, have destroyed all heresies in the whole world.
250 years before the Fatima apparitions, Ven. Mary of Agreda wrote the following about the destruction "of all the heresies and sects" through the intercession of the Blessed Mother:“I have been informed of a great mystery, which affords us consolation in this conflict of the holy Church against her wicked enemies. Namely, on account of this triumph of most holy Mary and on account of another, which She gained over the demons after the Ascension of our Lord, the Almighty, in reward of Her battles, decreed, that through Her intercession and virtue all the heresies and sects of the world against the holy Church were to be destroyed and extinguished. The time appointed for this blessing was not made known to me; probably, the fulfillment of this decree is dependent upon some tacit and unknown condition.”
The "tacit unknown condition" is the Consecration of Russia, as later revealed at Fatima.
In addition to the conversion of Russia and the era of peace, Christ revealed another purpose of the Consecration to Sr. Lucy. When she asked Him why Russia would not be converted without it, He replied: “Because I want My whole Church to recognize this consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so as to extend its cult and place devotion to this Immaculate Heart alongside the devotion to My Divine Heart.”If Christ intends for the fruits of the Consecration to glorify his Mother and be recognized as the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart, how glorious should we expect these fruits to be? At Quito, the Blessed Mother described the victory as being accomplished "in a marvelous way:
“To test this faith and confidence of the just, there will be occasions in which everything will seem to be lost and paralyzed. … This night will be most horrible, for, humanly speaking, evil will seem to triumph. This, then, will mark the arrival of My hour, when I, in a marvelous way, will dethrone the proud and cursed Satan, trampling him under My feet and fettering him in the infernal abyss. Thus the Church and Country will be finally free of his cruel tyranny.” (Our Lady of Good Success).
Everything is falling into place for the Consecration and Triumph of the Immaculate Heart to begin next week, on
Friday, March 25th, which corresponds to the day the first Adam was created and to the day the second Adam was Incarnated. It is also the day that Christ, by His Passion and death, redeemed mankind and restored the spiritual order. All that remains is the final defeat of Satan and the restoration of the corporeal and temporal order, brought about by the Passion of the Church (Col. 1:24) and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
