The Final Countdown...F-17
J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*
Oh say can you see...
Our Lady in the sky
With one final display
Of the good Lord's mer-er-cy.
We in sackclothe must be
on our knees one and all
For to think ourselves clean
Will offend the Al-migh-i-ty.
Fatima beckons us to repent.
To seek mercy
and to bow low.

The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church.”
The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”
Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?”
Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”
It was Mary’s final appearance, on Oct. 13, 1917 (exactly 33 years, to the day, after Pope Leo XIII’s vision), that became the most famous. An estimated 70,000 people were in attendance at the site, anticipating the Virgin’s final visit and with many fully expecting that she would work a great miracle. As everyone gazed upward, and saw that a silvery disc had emerged from behind clouds, they experienced what is known [as] a ‘sun miracle.’ Not everyone reported the same thing; some present claimed they saw the sun dance around the heavens; others said the sun zoomed toward Earth in a zigzag motion that caused them to fear that it might collide with our planet (or, more likely, burn it up). Some people reported seeing brilliant colors spin out of the sun in a psychedelic, pinwheel pattern. The whole event took about 10 minutes.

Pope St. Leo XIII’s Vision
According
to legend, exactly 33 years (span of our Lord’s life) to the day prior
to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884,
Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision. When the aged Pontiff had
finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a
few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at
the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a
trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to
his office, he composed the prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it
be said after all Low Masses everywhere. When asked what had happened,
he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he
suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other
guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he
listened, he heard the following conversation:
The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church.”
The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”
Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?”
Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”
33 Years Later
On
Sunday May 13th, 1917, the children were pasturing their flock as usual
at the Cova da Iria, which was about a mile from their homes. They were
playing when suddenly a bright shaft of light pierced the air. The lady
spoke to them and said: “Fear not! I will not harm you.” “Where are you
from?” the children asked. “I am from heaven” the beautiful lady
replied, gently raising her hand towards the distant horizon. “What do
you want of me?”, Lucia asked. ” I came to ask you to come here for six
consecutive months, on the thirteenth day, at this same hour. I will
tell you later who I am and what I want.”
