These choice graces also helped her fulfil her vocation as Heaven’s messenger. Help me to be grateful to Her and to correspond to such great mercies.» 2 This Immaculate Heart is the canal by which God makes the multitude of His graces gush into my soul. How this certainty encourages and strengthens me! In Her I find strength and consolation. It is the heart of the best of mothers it is always attentive and it watches over the least of its children. «The Immaculate Heart of Mary is my refuge, especially in the most difficult hours. Lucy privately confided this to her former confessor, Father Aparicio: Over twenty years later, these words still resounded in Lucy’s heart and formed the whole basis of her consolation, for the wonderful promise had been entirely fulfilled. « MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL BE YOUR REFUGE.» You suffer a great deal do not be discouraged, I will never abandon you! My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way which will lead you to God.» 1 He wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart.» And to Lucy’s anguished question, «Am I to remain here all alone?» Our Lady had responded by a solemn promise: «No, My daughter.

We must return to the central apparition of July 13, where Our Lady of Fatima revealed Her great prophetic message to the three shepherds: the threefold and wonderful Secret of Her Immaculate Heart, the salvation of souls and nations and the Church’s ultimate recourse before the unchained forces of evil.īut we must also return to Her apparition of June 13, 1917, when She revealed to the three seers their individual vocation, their particular mission in Her service. They are like a divine wellspring, from which this great river of grace and mercy has been poured out over the world. To relate the wonderful history of Fatima, we must always return to the first manifestations of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the Cova da Iria, in June and July of 1917.
