The Pope invited Bishops and priests from around the world - on March 25, 2022 - to join him in consecrating "all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine" to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady of Fatima requested specifically that Russia be singularly and specifically consecrated by name. The question is whether or not Our Lady of Fatima's Request has been fulfilled or not. I personally think that the consecration has not been done properly and the failure to do the Consecration as Our Lady asked for - will have serious repercussions on the whole world and the Church. What Our Lady of Fatima asked for, is the Pope to Consecrate Russia - ALONE - to the Immaculate Heart of Mary - in union with all the Bishops of the world at the same time. Those Bishops could even pray the consecration in their own Cathedrals. What makes the Consecration Valid and Pleasing to God, is that only the nation of Russia be SINGULARLY and SPECIFICALLY mentioned BY NAME. The word consecrate means to set aside for a holy purpose. Our Lady did not ask the Pope to consecrate and set aside "all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine", but to SINGULARLY and SPECIFICALLY CONSECRATE AND SET ASIDE THE NATION OF RUSSIA to THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY. One might ask "Why does it need to be that way?" - I think it is for the reason that Our Lady warned us that Specifically, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world. From the book "FATIMA in Lucia's own words" Our Lady then said to me[Lucia]: "The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. There are so many souls whom the justice of God condemns for sins committed against me[Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary], that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray." I gave an account of this to the confessor, who ordered me to write down what Our Lady wanted done. Later, in an intimate communication, Our Lord complained to me, saying: "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." I firmly believe that if the Pope were to pray a prayer similar to the following prayer in union with all the Bishops of the world at the same time - even if the Bishops said the prayer in their own Cathedrals or their own location, again, at the same time, then God would grant through Mother Mary a period of peace to the world and the Church. The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. O Dearest Blessed Virgin Mary, thou art the purest of all creatures and we acknowledge thee as the Triune God's Immaculate masterpiece.

And so it is imperatively necessary, with mildness, patience and in a humble manner, that through the Magisterium (the teaching authority of the Church), to condemn and anathematize any such heresies that destructively hinder the salvation of souls, a most serious matter; for eternal life is at stake. By the grace of God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, may those who resist the truth be given repentance.

It would seem that they include, among other things, the following list of characteristics:" "- A reductively atheistic materialist world-view which aims at undermining anything Christian in society; - An ideology that is disconnected from Truth and reality; - A cultural Marxism that later permeated also the West with the help of the Frankfurt School and Antonio Gramsci's ideas; - A revolutionary socialistic spirit that undermines especially major aspects of family life - especially with the help of feminism, divorce and abortion; - A Hegelian dialectic philosophy, along with dialectic materialism, which claims that strife and ongoing contention in society are necessary in order to bring about higher and unfolding forms of life; such an approach essentially denies and purportedly transcends the principle or law of non-contradiction. - A form of governing "revolutionary socialism" that is also constitutionally called "Democratic Centralism," the latter formulation meaning that things have the appearance of being openly democratic, yet they are all centrally organized and managed in the background (Dr. Robert Hickson recently applied this principle to the current situation in the Church "especially with regard to the Family Synods" here); - A disregard for tradition and for the traditional institutions of society (or now of the Church, such as the Curia?) as "counter-revolutionary forces"; - A deceitful misuse of language with the intent to manipulate the public; - A method of branding one's own opponents with sweeping and demeaning epithets that abstractly categorize them as "right-wing" or "counter-revolutionary" [and what about the most-common term in use among the left: "fascist"?]; - An approach to ongoing revolutionary changes where there is both "a slow path" and "a fast path" of the Revolution; such is "the Dialectic" and the "dialectical process"; - Toward more moderate and compromising opponents, one first tries to incorporate them into the professed new system so as to use them as Lenin's "useful idiots" in the sense that they help give to the world the illusory idea that nothing has really changed; - As a last element "but of course a very important and painful one for those who lived under Communism" there is a constant sense of distrust and fear, unto the imprisonment and killing of one's intransigent opponents."

The Most Holy Virgin rested Her hand on her shoulder, and as She did so, She showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which She was holding in Her other hand. At the same time, the Child said: 'Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.'" - "The Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad." ...Sister Lucia of Fatima +++ In order that Thy, O Holy God, may be glorified, better known, loved and served, by the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we also call the members, as well as those to be members of the Catholic Church, the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, to embrace true devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Soften any hardness in our hearts [1] that we may be moved with dispositions that may be filled with sincere humility before God and subjection to authority [2]; founded on faith, fortified with hope and fruitful through charity.

It is thee, Our Lady who also appeared at Fatima as Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and thus it is also our will that the Rosary and Brown Scapular (garment of grace) together may bear witness to the infinite Mercy of God, by establishing, promoting and fostering a more ardent and loving devotion, homage and veneration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen. [1] Genesis 17:1, 3 Kings 8:61 (Solomon's prayer and sacrifices), Deuteronomy 18:13, Saint Matthew 5:48 +++ [1]: - === Other: - Our Lady gave the Church through St. Dominic in the early 13th century the Rosary which is a summary of the Christian faith that teaches us in depth the mystery of Divine Love - Our Lady replied to St. Dominic: "the Angelic Psalter (Psalms of King David), which is the foundation-stone of the New Testament ... Preach my Psalter (The Most Holy Rosary - the 150 Ave Marias patterned after the 150 Psalms)." (The Secret of the Rosary for Renewal and Salvation by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort) - The key to the Rosary is the meditation upon its Mysteries - Our Lady gave the Church through St. Simon Stock the Brown Scapular in 1251 and said "Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire!" - Our Lady told Saint Dominic: "One day through the ROSARY and SCAPULAR I will save the world." - Our Lady has revealed: "Pray the Rosary every day" and "Wear the Scapular devoutly and perseveringly." +++ Without all the footnotes and notes - the "Prayer" actually flows smoothly. It is a prayer that has the potential of saving the world if the Pope - Pope Francis I - were to say it in union with all the Catholic Bishops of the world at the same time - as Our Lady of Fatima Requested. And so - I'm copying and pasting the PRAYER here. It is a Consecration PRAYER - setting aside for a holy purpose. It takes about 15 minutes to say this prayer properly and the prayer addresses a different audience at different times - i.e. Mother Mary, Jesus, the Church, particularly God the Father, or the Triune God. So as a Prayer I think it is fine. What do you think? Sincerely and Kind Regards in +J M J, Roger The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. O Dearest Blessed Virgin Mary, thou art the purest of all creatures and we acknowledge thee as the Triune God's Immaculate masterpiece. Thou art His own created daughter (the handmaid of the Lord as wisdom personified), the Most Holy Mother of His Only Begotten Son, and the Beloved Spouse of the Holy Ghost. As thy children, servants and slaves out of pure love, through thee, Our Mother, Queen and Mistress; [1] we humbly approach Thy Divine Son Jesus Christ in Whom we are unworthy of [2], to The Almighty and Eternal Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost. It is thee, Our Lady of Fatima in whom thou made manifest this request of God to the Church: "The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means." [1] First and foremost, O Virgin Mary, the holy Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ, True God and True Man, took place in thy virginal womb, at the annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee"; and by thy consent, complete and full cooperation with God's Will, through thy Fiat: "Be it done unto me according to thy word." [1] Thy pure blood, (originating from thy Immaculate Heart), and by the sole operation of the Holy Ghost, formed the body of Jesus Christ [2], supplied His human nature, and began the redemption of all mankind and the salvation of many. [3] We express our gratitude with the sentiment of Saint Elizabeth: Whence is this to us that the Mother of Our Lord should come to us? [1] O Blessed Virgin Mary, thou art the Mother of the human nature of the Word and Wisdom Incarnate, (not of the existence [2] of the Divine Nature or the essence of God [3]), but of the individual and Whole Person of Jesus Christ. O Blessed Mother, as an article of faith: thy Divine Son is True God [4] and True Man [5] such that in the Divine Person of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Our God [6] Who possesses both a formed body and a created soul [7]; the union of His human nature took place not in the Divine Nature but in the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity [8], the Only Son of the Eternal Father, and of thee, O Mary, perpetually and always Virgin. [9] O Holy Mother of God [1] and of mankind, our supernatural Mother in grace, we give thee great thanks for voluntarily travailing (by thy afflicted Heart so generous in thy bitter sorrow and grief [2]) in delivering our spiritual birth, enduring tremendously great pangs of labor [3] at the foot of the Cross [4]. As thy children, Mother Mary, we will with firm resolve and reverential fear and trembling along with zealous work [5], toil, labour and effort "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." [6] We so hope for eternal salvation and life [7] in being and remaining members of the Mystical Body of Christ, the Catholic Church [8], through which God is Our Heavenly Father and thee, O Mary are Our Heavenly Mother. Hail Mary Our Sovereign Queen and that of the nine Choirs of Holy Angels, by grace, alongside Jesus Our King by nature and by conquest, in whom the Kingdom of God [1] (necessitates a Queen). Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, that (by thy all powerful intercession) we may be made pleasing in the sight of God. Purify and present our daily prayers, works, joys and sufferings, in the spirit of sacrifice through conformity and uniformity to God's Holy Will, that they may be acceptable to Jesus Our King. O Mother of Mercy [1], obtain for us the grace of the forgiveness of all our sins as well as the gift of final perseverance, from thy Divine Son, through sincere and perfect contrition for having offended God Who is all good and deserving of all our love. Dispense sanctifying grace in our souls through the Sacraments of the Church instituted by Christ and obtain for us the friendship of God by means of thy Immaculate Heart. O Mary, the first living Tabernacle where the Father enclosed His Word, thy Immaculate Heart is the first (living) Monstrance that sheltered Him, thy lap and thy arms were the first altar and the first throne upon which the Son of God made man was adored. There the Angels, the Shepherds and the wise men of the earth adored Him. It is thee O Mary, the first Who took the Son of God (made man) in thy pure and Immaculate hands and brought Him to the Temple to offer Him to the Father as a victim. [1] O, how good it is to enter into this tender, sweet and Immaculate Heart that to the fullest capacity partakes in the eternal bliss, life and love of Our Lord. This most compassionate and Immaculate Heart, the refuge of sinners that receives penitent souls, whose Motherly love's aim is only to lead us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. O, how good and lovely it is to securely rest in this Immaculate Heart [1], this temple, sanctuary, "Spiritual Vessel", the "Ark of the Covenant" [2] and the tabernacle of the Divinity of the most High God [3]; through which God Himself takes His humble abode, both in time and in eternity. O Lord Jesus Christ, the one mediator of God and men [1] giving us something in common with God in Thy Sacred Humanity, Who condescended from Heaven to earth only through the Blessed Virgin Mary. By the same means Thou came to us; it is also only through her, that we return back to Thee; [2] for it is indeed, really, truly and simply God's Will and design from all eternity that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the channel of grace and the humble and sweet means that we approach thee, dear Jesus. For in as much as we know, honor, and love the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we likewise know, honor, and love Thy Most Sacred Heart, Divine Master; and in hearing Thy Most Holy Mother we hear Thee [3]. It is Thee, O Lord, Who gives Thy virtues, obtains from the Father graces, and dispenses the gifts of the Holy Ghost to men, only through the hands of Mary [4] by means of her Immaculate Heart. Realizing that it is never too late to have recourse to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary [1], we lift up our minds and hearts in prayer to their Most Holy Hearts so indissolubly united, where we find the plentitude of grace and mercy. Alongside the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our confidence and hope in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so Highly Blessed, hearing and keeping the word of God perfectly in her Heart [2]. Her Immaculate Heart inflamed with immense compassion, mercy and love for each and everyone of her children [3], in whom we reciprocate that love back to her. Such that the Kingdom of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary may reign in society, in families and in individual hearts, minds and souls. Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we call for reparation of the five types of offenses and blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, by which Thou art offended, of which are those committed against Her Immaculate Conception [1], against Her Perpetual Virginity, against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men [2], the blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children, indifference or scorn or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother, and the offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. [3] In obedience and to fulfill Thy request to the Church through Our Lady of Fatima, O God, we solemnly and in a public manner, consecrate, set aside for a holy purpose in Thy humble service, the nation of Russia, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for her conversion, once a Catholic nation, consecrated as such in the year 988 A.D., that had the misfortune of falling into atheistic materialistic communism, having the appearance of a Christian-like creed, deceptive in reality, infected by pernicious errors [1] (spread throughout the world); namely an attack on the family by various means and an ideology of disconnected truth and reality along with dialectic materialism; essentially waging war against God leading souls to perdition.
