Catholics/secrets of fatima

Question
I just recieved an email from a friend about the secrets of fatima, and wondered if this actually did exist or was it just another email hoax designed to see how gullable the world is?

Independent of any creed or Religion, it is better to be prepared and be
in good terms with GOD, though we never know when we will be leaving
this world

THE LAST SECRET OF FATIMA.


The  Church has given permission to reveal to the people the last part
of the  message.  The Blessed Virgin Appeared to three children in
Fatima, Portugal in 1917.  This is a proven fact.

One of  these children is still alive, her name is Lucia and she is a
Recluse nun and lives in a European monastery.  Lucia disclosed the
message for the first time to Pope Pio XXII, who after reading it sealed
and stored it away without making it public.  Later John XXIII read it
and in the same manner as his predecessor, kept it out of public eye
because he knew that once revealed, it will bring desperation and panic
to the human kind.

Now the time has come and permission has been granted from Pope John
Paul II to reveal it to the children of God in order not to create
panic, but to make people aware of this important message so everybody
can be prepared.
The Virgin told Lucia: "Go  my child and tell the world what will come
to pass during the years 1950-2005.

Men are not practicing the commandments that our Father has given us.
Evil is governing the world and is harvesting hate and resentment all
over.
Men will fabricate mortal weapons that destroy the world in minutes and
half  of the human race will be  destroyed.

The war will begin against Rome and there will be conflicts amongst
religious orders. "God will allow all natural phenomenons like smoke,
hale, cold, water, fire, flood, earthquakes, winds and inclement weather
will slowly batter the planet. These things will come to pass in the
year 2004.

Those who do not believe, this is the time your beloved mother tells you
those lacking charity towards others and those who do not love thy
neighbour like my beloved Son has loved you all, cannot survive. They
will wish they had died. Millions are imaginable, they will come and
there is no doubt.
Our Lord God will punish severely those who do not believe in Him, those
who despise Him and those who did not have time for Him. I call upon all
of you to come to my son Jesus Christ. God helps the world but all of
those who do not show fidelity and loyalty will be destroyed.

Father Agustin who lives in Fatima said that Pope Paul VI gave him
permission to visit Sister Lucia who is a recluse nun (she does not
leave the  monastery nor allowed to receive any visitors). Father
Agustin said that she was greatly overwhelmed to receive him and told
him:

"Father,  our Lady is very sad because nobody is interested in her
prophecy of 1917, though the righteous are walking through a narrow
path, the evil ones are walking through an ample road that is leading
them straight to their destruction. Believe me father, the punishment
will come very soon.
Many souls will be lost, many nations will disappear from the earth, but
in the middle of all these, if men reflect, pray and practice good
deeds, the world can be saved. On all of these, if men persist with its
evil, the world will be lost forever.

The time has come for all to pass on the message of our Blessed Lady to
their  families, friends and to the entire world. Start praying to make
penitence and catastrophes are near. Due to this, many who were far from
the church will return to the open arms of the Catholic Church. England,
Russia, China,the Jews and Protestants, all will return believing and
Worshipping God our Creator, in his beloved son and in our Blessed
Mother Virgin Mary


"WHAT AWAITS US?

Everywhere there will be "Peace Talks" but punishments will come.
A MAN IN A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION WILL BE ASSASSINATED AND THIS WILL
PROVOKE THE WAR. A POWERFUL ARMY WILL DOMINATE ALL THROUGH EUROPE AND
THE NUCLEAR WAR WILL COMMENCE.

This war  will destroy everything. Darkness will fall over us. For 72
hours (three days) and the one third of humanity that survives this
obscurity and sacrifice will commence to live a new era, they will be
good people.
In a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, A GREAT QUAKE will
shake the earth for 8 hours. This will be the third Signal that God is
who governs the earth.  The righteous and those who propagate the faith
and the message the Lady  of Fatima SHOULD NOT FEAR, DO NOT BE AFRAID.

WHAT TO DO?
Bow your heads kneel down and ask God for forgiveness because only what
is good and is not under the power of evil will survive the catastrophe.
In order for you to prepare and remain alive I will  give you the
following
signs: ANGUISH .......... AND IN A SHORT  PERIOD THE EARTHQUAKE WILL
COMMENCE ..... THE EARTH WILL SHAKE  .....

The shake will be so violent that it will move the earth 23 degrees then
return to its normal position.
Then total and absolute darkness will cover  the entire planet All  evil
spirits will be mingling around and free, doing harm to all those souls
that did not want to listen to this message and those who did not want
to repent.

To the faithful souls, remember to light the blessed candles. Prepare a
Sacred  altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD ani
implore for  his infinite mercy.... All will be dark.

IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS will appear to remind us the price that
his beloved Son had to pay for our Redemption . In the house the only
thing that can give light will be  the HOLY CANDLES. Once lit nothing
will put them off until the three days of darkness are over. Also you
should have Holy Water that should be sprinkled abundantly on windows
and doors. The Lord will protect the property of the chosen ones. Kneel
down before the powerful cross of my Beloved son, pray the Rosary and
after each Hail Mary, you must pray the following "Oh God forgive us our
sins, preserve  us from the fire of hell, take all souls into Heaven,
especially those  who are in more need of thy mercy.

Blessed  Virgin Mary, protect us, we love you, save us and save the
world.

Pray 5  Creeds and the rosary which is the secret to my  Immaculate
Heart.
All those who believe in my words, go and take the message to everyone.
Those who keep quiet will be responsible for all those souls who will
perish in ignorance. All those who pray humbly the Rosary will have the
protection of Heaven and those who are bound to die, I will help them
die in peace and they will be Holy when they enter the other world, I
wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first
Saturday of each month to confess and receive Holy Communion and in
doing so, save the world from TOTAL DESTRUCTION ....

WHEN the earth shakes no more, those who still will not believe in our
Lord will perish in a horrible way.  The wind will bring gas and it will
disperse everywhere then the sun will rise.  May be you will survive
this catastrophe.

Do not forget that God's punishment is Holy and ONCE  IT HAS STARTED YOU
SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, GOD  DOES NOT WANT ANY
OF HIS CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE SINNERS .  All this
encompasses with the writings of the Holy Scriptures ... Read  in the
New Testament Lucas 21-5; 121, 12:19, 20: 20, 29:33 Letters of  St. Paul
Isaiah 40, 1:5:9 You must understand that God allows all these to
happen. The Pope and Bishops are now awaiting another message that
speaks about repentance and prayer. Remember that God's words are not a
threat, but good news.

Please reproduce these pages and send them to all the people that you
know so we all can have the opportunity to repent and be saved. We do
not know if those receiving this message believe or not in GOD, but
think, there is a reason for receiving this message! May be, the Creator
is giving us the chance to be saved, no matter what religion or Creed.

If you  do not believe in this message at least send it to others, it
will cost you nothing. To all those receiving it, they can have the
opportunity to judge for themselves. Remember, we can avoid a great deal
if we practice the 10 Commandments that Our Father God has left us. They
are just 10 simple things that if we put into  practice, we can obtain
God's pardon.

Jesus in you I trust. Our Lady of Guadalupe.

This is a beautiful prayer. Please do not break this chain... it is
miraculous.

Beautiful Virgin of Guadalupe, I ask you on behalf of all my brothers
and sisters of the world that you bless us and protect us.  Give us
proof of your love and kindness and please receive our prayers. Oh pure
Virgin of  Guadalupe, give me, through your Son, forgiveness for my
sins, blessings  for my job, cure for my diseases and needs, and all
that you deem necessary, I ask for my family, relatives, friends and my
country.  Oh Saint Mother of  God, do not disdain the pleas we present
to you in our  needs.



THIS LETTER IS SACRED, if you receive it and share it before ten days,
you will have a surprise and a great joy.

Let me know what you think, thanks:)

Dear Heidi,

it is true that there were secrets within the revelations left when Mary appeared at Fatima in 1917. I've read something of the sealed secret deemed best not revealed as well. It may be true it may not. I read that some of it has come to pass in the Papacy of JPII.

The document you have come across is ridiculous hype in my opinion. I also object to any chain letter purported to have metaphysical powers that will either unleash negative effects or hinder positive ones. This is mere superstition.

Compare yourself the words of this document and the words of Mary that are approved and you will see a marked difference.

My theory is that these types of things are marketing ploys made to manipulate people by preying on their need for life to have mystery and their fears of the future due to misconceptions of the past. Christ taught us to not worry about tomorrow because today has eneogh worries of it's own.

Hope this helped.

Peace of Christ

Expertise

I am a cradle catholic who rebelled against the faith in my teenage years. My faith returned in November 1992 after a powerful conversion experience on my first wedding anniversary. The Lord graced me with the answers needed to understand the marital conflict my wife and I experienced and this grace continued into a deep knowledge of Christ and His Church. My answers to questions of the faith come from my own experience as a participant in the redemptive suffering of our Lord. Although my answers are in accord with Catholic teaching, I don`t answer from a schooled knowledge base but from private study and from the experience of being a witness to Christ`s suffering. If a question is outside of the expertise my experience offers, for example, canon law, or the finer points of Church history I have no problem saying so.

Experience

I have been answering questions concerning the faith since 1993 and am currently a moderator for an online catholic study group.
