Sr.Lucia died today,the 13th. On the same date,the 13th. Our Lady
first appeared to her. On this 13th day, Our Lady came and took
Sr. Lucia home. With her celestial court to escort Sr. Lucia past
the doors of purgatory, where as a young child, the Blessed Mother
showed her the horrors there, and where today the souls of popes,
bishops, and priests are being purified, for among other things,
their doubting this chosen child of Our Lady. Upwards to the throne
of Christ the King they take her. Her King and Savior then placed on
her head a crown of golden roses that was made from all of the roses
sent to His mother from each of Sr.Lucia's rosaries during her long
hard life here on earth. Her cousins run to great her and never more
will she need permission from Ratzinger to speak to anyone. God has
Blessed you Sr. Lucia please pray for us here on earth.
Every saint needs a miracle perhaps her miracle will be that we get a
catholic pope and the consecration will be done as the Blessed Mother
said.
"To all the curious I would say I am certain that the Virgin Mary does not engage in sensationalism. She does not create fear. She does not present apocalytic visions, but guides people to her Son. And this is what is essential."
He is also quoted as saying on a Catholic Radio interview that "Our Lady did not appear to the Fatima children to create sensation. Mary's purpose is, through these simple children, to call the world back to simplicity, that is, to the essentials: conversion, prayer and the sacraments."
God Bless Sr. Maria Lucia!
