Taken From:
"The Whole Truth About Fatima" by Frere Michel de la Sainte TriniteTHE REQUEST FOR THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA
(Sister Lucia speaking about the apparition at Tuy, Spain; June 13th, 1929)
Then Our Lady said to me: “The moment has come when God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means.”
“So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns for sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.”
I gave an account of this to my confessor, who ordered me to write what Our Lord willed to be done.
LATER ON, OUR LORD COMPLAINS
Later on, by means of an interior communication, Our Lord said to me, complaining: “They did not want 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 its errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the Church: the Holy Father will have much to suffer.”
THE MOST PRECISE REQUEST
Let us point out right away that in 1930, in two letters to Father Gonçalves, Sister Lucy was to express in a slightly different manner the requests of Heaven, closely associating the devotion of reparation on the Five First Saturdays of the Month with the Consecration of Russia:
"The good Lord promises to end the persecution in Russia,
if the Holy Father will himself make a solemn act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the SacredHearts of Jesus and Mary, as well as ordering all the bishops of the Catholic world to do the same. The Holy Father must then promise that upon the ending of this persecution he will approve and recommend the practice of the reparatory devotion already described."**Letter received by Father Gonçalves on May 29, 1930 (Doc., p. 405). The letter of the following June 12, addressed to the same person, literally employs the same formula (Doc., p. 411) which indissolubly unites the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
