Letter to the world's bishops from the International Fatima Rosary Crusade


Following is a letter which the International Fatima Rosary Crusade has sent to every bishop in the world along with a free copy (thanks to your almsgiving) of The Whole Truth About Fatima Volume III, The Third Secret. Let us all pray a special Rosary that each Bishop will receive the gesture of Our Lady's children with an open heart to learn about and heed Our Lady of Fatima's request.

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel 1991

"Can the Mother Who, with all the force of the love that She fosters in the Holy Spirit and desires everyone's salvation, keep silence on what undermines the very basis of their salvation? No. She cannot remain silent."

... Pope John Paul II speaking at Fatima May 13

Your Excellency:

       The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Church, the Mother of the Pope and each and every Cardinal, Bishop, Priest and layperson sees us in danger today. She sees us above all in spiritual danger. She sees the very basis of our salvation undermined. Our Lady cannot remain silent. She must cry out to you.

       Why, you might ask, did the Pope allude to Our Lady of Fatima seeing us in mortal danger? What is he referring to when he said Our Lady of Fatima sees the very basis of our salvation being undermined? It is clear he is referring to the Third Secret.

       Cardinal Ratzinger who has personally read the Third Secret has told us it refers to "the dangers threatening the Faith ..." (This point is so important that we have enclosed a photographically reproduced copy of Cardinal Ratzinger's actual words which he pronounced and which were published with his express approval.)

       The Catholic Faith is the basis of our salvation — as the Sacred Scriptures tell us "Without faith it is impossible to please God" (Heb. 11:6). And as the Catholic Creed of St. Athanasius says: "Whoever wishes to be saved, before all good works, must hold onto the Catholic faith for unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire he will undoubtedly be lost forever." ("Quicumque vult salvus esse, ante omnia opus est, ut teneat catholicam fidem: Quam nisi quisque integram inviolatamque servaret, absque dubio in aeternum peribit.")

       The faith is the basis of our salvation, it is being undermined and Our Lady of Fatima cannot remain silent — She is crying out to save all of us because the danger we face is now greater than ever.

       You, we and all the faithful are in danger, mortal, eternal danger! Our Lady of Fatima foresaw the crisis in the Church caused by the undermining of our faith, and She has been sent by God to give us the counsel, the exact plan of God for the Church and souls to be saved today.

       Frère Michel in this enclosed book, in a brilliant and masterful study has demonstrated beyond doubt that today we are now living through the period of time that this Secret speaks about. With 4 years of painstaking research, he has gathered all the known data about the Third Secret of Fatima to demonstrate that it is a prophecy, given in 1917, for the Church living in our times, the 1990's.

       Furthermore, drawing upon Father Alonso's great erudition and privileged position of official archivist of Fatima, Frère Michel shows that the Third Secret particularly concerns every bishop.

       We urge you to read this book. It is given to you with the prayers and support of 100,000 faithful from all over the world. We give it with a fervent prayer that the salutary knowledge this book will give you will be fruitful for a magnificent harvest of souls in your apostolic endeavors ...

       We pray that it will save our Catholic Church from unimaginable disasters which are certain to befall it if this Third Secret is not acted upon in the near future.

       We send it with our love and sacrifices, in Jesus and Mary's name, so that by your exalted position and authority you will help us save our souls. We also give it to you so that you personally will be delivered from the dangers that Our Lady of Fatima came to warn you about.

       It is our fervent prayer that through the knowledge this book will give you, you will be enabled to make our own and all the faithful's salvation easier to achieve. The Third Secret is indeed an instrument of grace — we need only know it and act upon it. Reading this book is the first step toward receiving this marvelous grace given by Our Lady of Fatima, to the Church.

       Please pray for us and our efforts. We pray for you every day.

       Thank you and God bless you and your Apostolic work.

       Father Michael Jarecki, Father Paul Leonard,
       Father Nicholas Gruner, Father Marcel Nault,
       Father Paul Trinchard, Father Clarke Moore

P.S: Within the Church there are many things only you can do in the light of the Third Secret. We trust that as you read this book Our Lady will inspire you and tell you directly what you must do. If after you complete this book, should you prefer to seek other people's ideas, there are a number of projects that suggest themselves to us, that you particularly could do for Our Lady and the salvation of souls. We would love to share these ideas. Please let us know if you are interested in these practical plans for immediate action. If you prefer, a French edition of this book is also available to you free.
P.P.S: If you cannot read this book right now, we can send you a summary of it — made by the author himself. It is about 5% of the length of the book and we would be happy to forward you a copy in French or English if you simply ask for it.
P.P.P.S: It has been our privilege to serve you and all the Catholic bishops by sending each one of you, in English or French, all three volumes of Frère Michel's monumental work The Whole Truth About Fatima as well as Father Gruner's own Fatima book World Enslavement or Peace". This project, which is almost complete, has taken us about three years and has cost us over $100,000 to send all these books to all of the 4,000 Catholic bishops that can receive overseas postal service. We would appreciate hearing from you that you got this book safe and sound, and any comments you might care to make. If you know of any benefactor who could help pay our enormous bills — even with a small donation — it would be most appreciated if you let them know we need their help.

Di-a­qui, dunque, 1'intervista conic e stata approvata da S.E. Ratzinger ai priori di ottobre.

     A una delle quattro sezioni delta Con,qre­ gaziorte spetta I'occuparsi di apparizioni mariane. «Cardinal Ratzinger lei ha letto it cosiddetto "terzo segreto di Fatima", quello irwiato da suor Lucia a papa Gio­vanni the non voile rivelarlo a ordino di
depositarlo negli archivi? ». Si, I'ho letto «Perche non viene rivelaro? «Perche, stando al giudizio dei pontefici non aggiun‑ nulla di diverso a quanto un cristiano deve sapere dalla rivelazione: una chiamata radicale ally conversione, I'assoluta serieta delta storia, i pericoli cite incombono sulla fede a la vita del cristiano a dunque del mondo. L poi, l'importanza dei Novissimi. Se non to si pubblica ‑ almeno per ora ‑ e per evitare di far scambiare la profezia religiosa con it sensazionalismo. Ma i conrenuti di quel "terzo segreto" corrispondono all'annuncio delta Scrittura a sono ribaditi da mope altre apparizioni mariane, a cominciare da quella stessa di Fatima, nei suoi contenuri noti. Conversione, penitenza, sono condizioni essenziali alla salvezza».

See The Fatima Crusader English translation below

We give here, therefore, the interview as it has been approved by His Eminence Cardinal Ratzinger in the first days of October.

 Uric of the four sections of the Congregation (for the Doctrine q/the Faith) concerts itself with Marian apparitions; "Cardinal Ratizinger, have you read what is called tire Third Secret of Fatima: i.e., the one that Sister Lucia is had sent to Pope John XXIII and which the latter did not wish to make known and consigned to the Vatican archives (In reply, Cardinal Ratzinger said:)

     "Yes, I have read it, " (which frank response provoked a further question:)

  "Why has it not been revealed?" (To this the Cardinal, gave the following most instructive reply:) "Because, according to the judgment of the Popes, it adds nothing (literally: 'nothing different') to what a Christian mint know concerning what derives from Revelation i.e., a radical call for conversion; the absolute importance of history; the dangers threatening the faith and the life of the Christian, and therefore of the world. And then the importance of the 'novissimi' (tire last events al the evil of time). If it is not made public ‑ at least far the trine being ‑ it is in order to present religious prophecy from being mistaken for a quest for the sensational (literally: for sensationalism'). But the things contained in this 'Third Secret' correspond to what has been announced in Scripture and has been said again and again in marry other Marion apparitions, first of all that of Fatima in what is already known of what its message contains. Conversion and penitence are the essential conditions for 'salvation'."
