Our Lady Ordered John Paul II to transfer
Catholic Authority to Fatima, Portugal in 1944.
So who has this Authority now?
We do. The Fatima Movement assumes control.

her authority will be removed and given to Portugal.” - Third Secret of Fatima (5)
March, 2004: Jewish-Freemason John Paul II follows orders from God and transfers Church Authority from Rome to Fatima.
1944: OUR LADY ORDERS THE TRANSFER OF POWER AWAY FROM ROME BECAUSE THE VATICAN'S MASONIC HIERARCHY DELETES THE HOLY GHOST FROM THE BAPTISM RITE
Three strikes! You're out.
Once the Vatican deleted the Third Name of the Holy Trinity from the Sacraments in the early 1940's during the chaos of World War II, Rome lost all Church Authority. Jewish Freemasonry had subverted the Church's Divine Liturgy and Theology, successfully deleting the Three Keys to Heaven's Doors, and sending followers straight to the Gates of Hell. This is why God Our Lady in the Third Secret of Fatima ordered John Paul II to transfer Church Authority to Portugal in 1944.
"Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice." - The heretical Jewish Jesus of the Bible cryptically tells the Jew Simon Bar Jona that he will deny him three times in Matthew 26:34. In Catholic reality, the Chair of Pope St. Peter has denied God three times. God the Mother was replaced by the burning bush fire Lord, God the Father the Holy Ghost who was, is and ever shall be was replaced by the Jewish Holy Spirit, and God the Son Jesus Christ who was, is and ever shall be was replaced by the Jewish Messiah, the Lord Jesus of Apocalypse 22:17.
"Thus are the seven seals of the occult book opened successively, and universal initiation is accomplished. The commentators who have sought anything else in this book of the transcendent Kabalah have lost their time and their trouble only to render themselves ridiculous." - The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic (1896), PART II: page 60
”We (Jewish Freemasons) control the seminaries, the academic departments of theology, the catechetical and liturgical institutions, the publishing houses, the magazines that matter and the chanceries. Most of the bishops are now on our side and those that aren't have been neutralized. Anybody who wants a future in the hierarchy or the Catholic academy has no choice but to co-operate.” - Fr. Hans Küng (”worthy” recipient of the Freemasons' lifetime achievement award)
"The Church finds Herself in an hour of unrest, of self-critique, one might say, even of auto-destruction! It is like an internal, acute, and complicated revolution, for which no one was prepared after the Council." - Masonic anti-Pope Paul VI, Dec. 7, 1968.
The year 1944 was a critical turning point in the Eclipse of the Roman Catholic Church. This was the year Freemasons officially deleted the Final Name of God from the Sacrament of Baptism, completing their Alta Vendita of vengeance against Christ and His Church. After suffering from 19 centuries of infiltration and subversion by perverted Masonic Jews, the Church in Rome had officially failed in its institutional responsibility to bind the Three Keys to Heaven's Doors, originally handed to St. Peter by Christ. As a result of this failure caused both by the Illuminati and the cumulative sins of the world (failing to send their sons to the priesthood), the Mother of God ordered the transferring of the authority of the Catholic Church to Fatima, Portugal in the Third Secret of Fatima.
What was so tragic about the elimination of The Holy Ghost from the Catholic Baptism Rite? It was the final name of the Trinity to be eliminated from the Sacramental Rites of Christ's Church. If at least one of the names of the Catholic Trinity is not used to mark an infant's forehead, that infant is anathematized. If the Masonic Rite is used, which has been the case since 1944, that child becomes a goyim Masonic subject, both in this life and the next. Just as you are what you eat, you become what you are baptized into. The occult knows this, but naive Catholics forgot, and laid down to the Illuminati to once again, accept heretical changes to what was once Divine, infallible Liturgy.
To briefly elaborate on the importance of this, occultist and Freemason Adolf Hitler initiated Germans with his own baptism which created an army of men who thought he was God. And we all know how that turned out. If you are baptized Masonically, you become a Freemason. To put it in plain terms, if this destruction of the Baptism Rite of the Catholic Church in 1944 wasn't important, The Mother of God would not have appeared to Sister Lúcia at that specific time to urge her to write down the contents of the Third Secret of Fatima.
Above: Adolf Hitler's heretical Arian baptism, marking infants and forming their spiritual character for the purpose of eternal slavery to the man who would be their god. The way you are baptized matters, which is why St. Lúcia warned the world about forgetting the Holy Ghost.
Because of this tragic final opening of the Seal of the Catholic Baptism, the Church in Rome became officially 100% pagan, unable to carry out the simple task of preserving Three Names of the Holy Trinity, which happen to be the Keys to Heaven's Doors. Centuries after denying the Divinity of Our Lady, accepting the Jewish “Father” as its god, denying the Divinity of Christ, and anticipating the Jewish messiah, the last straw came in the form of what their bibles describe as the “loosing on Earth” of the final preserved name of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Ghost. God had been denied three times, and a cock was about to crow.
Because of these mysterious events, Our Lady appeared to Sister Lúcia in the year 1944 and asked her to write down the contents of the Third Secret of Fatima. Sister Lúcia for months had struggled at the terror of putting this information onto paper, but finally managed to accomplish this with the special graces given to her.
The Church was as an ark of salvation, officially broken, full of holes created by Masonic “revisions.” Since the Church was not initiating human beings as Catholics in 1944 because of a “translation change” based on theological confusion created by the 1777 change from Spiritum Sanctum to the heretical “spiritus sanctus” in the Latin Rite, Our Lady came to give humanity one last chance.
As the invalid Baptism Rite was adopted by neighborhood priests, the Vatican became a goyim factory, making anathematized and cursed human beings out of the next three generations of would-be Catholics, Catholics who were under the impression they were receiving from their priests a valid Sacrament of Baptism for their children. This is why the Apocalypse describes a half hour silence in Heaven when this breaking of the Rite or Seal occurred.
"And when he [the Lamb] had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” - Apocalypse 8:1
Sister Lúcia warned about forgetting the name of the Holy Ghost in her testimony but tragically, too many priests proudly followed the new rite and ignored her warnings. Priests are generally required to follow orders from their Bishops, who follow the orders of their Cardinals, who take orders from the person occupying the Chair of St. Peter (the Papacy). But by the middle of the 20th Century, most in the chain of command were secretly Freemasons, and the priests who were just following orders were tricked into cursing their flocks. The seminaries were completely infiltrated, the books were edited, history was destroyed, and millions were being marked with something they didn't quite understand.
”I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.” - the Illuminati Jesus, Matt. 26:31

 | “It is with a certain trepidation because if you despise and reject this ultimate means, we will not have any more forgiveness from Heaven, because we will have committed a sin which the Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Ghost. This sin consists of openly rejecting, with full knowledge and consent, the salvation which He offers.” - Sister Lúcia Santos, 1957 “But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.” - Mark 3:29 1899 D.R. |
“We then looked up at Our Lady who said to us: you have seen the apostasy in the Church, this message can be opened by The Holy Father, but must be announced after Pius XII and before 1960.” - Portion of the Third Secret of Fatima
The real Sister Lúcia wrote two copies of the Third Secret in this same critical year, 1944. One was in Rome under lock and key at the Anti-Pope's bedside, the other copy of the Third Secret existed in Portugal and was kept in a sealed envelope in the office of her Bishop. Below is the photograph of Bishop José Alves Correia da Silva with the Real Third Secret of Fatima.

The fact that The Mother of God did not endorse this Novus Ordo revolution was very revealing to critics of the strange happenings at the Vatican. When word got around about a Third Secret, the “mysterious force” of Freemasonry went into high-gear to find and suppress it. Our Lady's Divine words carry a lot of weight among the world's 1 billion Catholics, so if it were revealed to the public that the Mother of God demanded and even ordered a future Anti-Pope named John Paul II to transfer the power of the Church away from Rome to Portugal, it would shine light on what was really going on in the Church. It's no secret that the Illuminati dislike their secrets being exposed. If one billion Catholics were aware of Our Lady's disapproval of the Masonic Liturgy that was coming out of Rome in the form of Mass rewrites and changes to the Sacraments, rendering them useless against the Devil, the Masonic hierarchy would be exposed and a revolt would have occurred.
Freemason Pius XII (left) died in 1958, leaving the Conclave to elect Freemason John XXIII (right) who would convene the New Order Council on January 25, 1959, 21 years to the day after the Aurora Borealis over Europe (the sign from Heaven in the Second Secret of Fatima).
So, in 1958 Anti-Pope Pius XII died, which lead to the election of John XXIII in 1960. It was under the leadership this Anti-Pope John XXIII in 1960 that Freemasonry quietly decided to announce that this Third Secret would not be released as it was ordered to be, disappointing a fascinated public, who still remembered the 1917 Miracle at Fatima and the Divinely accurate prophecies that were all fulfilled. Many knew something was wrong with the suppression of this document, but it was in Freemasonry's hands, and they weren't talking.
”you have seen the apostasy in the Church, this message can be opened by The Holy Father, but must be announced after Pius XII and before 1960.” (4) - The Third Secret of Fatima
Millions of Catholics had patiently waited for the fulfillment of Sister Lúcia's orders to release the Third Secret before 1960 or upon her death, this was no secret. So when this release never came to pass, it began to cause controversy. The document was locked up in the Anti-Pope's quarters, reportedly in his nightstand in order to permanently keep its contents out of the public's hands, Sister Lúcia who tried speaking out this was murdered around 1958, and the impostor “Sister Lucy” took her place. Here is our copy of the document:
THE AUTHENTIC THIRD SECRET OF FÁTIMA
 ”Don't bring that subject up with me, please.” - Anti-Pope John XXIII, 1960 - Time Magazine's 1962 “Man of the Year” | THE MOTHER OF GOD'S FINAL WARNING FOR ROME:Released on April 21, 2010 for the people. Translation into English (Original Document from 1944) January 4, 1944: Apocalypse 18:4: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Goe out from her my people: that you not be partakers of her sinnes, and receive not of her plagues. 18:5: Because her sinnes are come even to heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”(1582 Douai-Rheims)     |
This document is shocking. When you read it, you fully understand why the Illuminati tried so hard to keep you from reading it. Sister Lúcia's superior and protector, Bishop da Silva, died in 1957, leaving Sister Lúcia at risk in a dangerous environment of Masonic and Eastern Star agents who had her surrounded. It was around this time John XXIII ordered that Sister Lúcia could not be contacted without a license from Rome. Silenced and cut off from any contact with her friends or family, essentially a prisoner, Sister Lúcia was living on a thin line.
Freemason Anti-Pope John XXIII (left center) reigned from 1958-1963 and used his Masonic brotherhood to murder Sister Lúcia around 1958 or 1959. It doesn't take much imagination to understand what these “men” who have sex with goats as part of their Masonic initiations, could have done to St. Lúcia.
Freemasons were extremely frustrated with St. Lúcia's ability to stop the Abomination of Desolation with her Rosary. Just as its power was demonstrated since 2009 when the Apocalypse was stopped, the Original Rosary, when said with the Masonic revisions edited out, functions as a barrier to the Illuminati and the advance of the New World Order. The clue to how this works is explained in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, Chapter 9.
The cathedral of Rome must be destroyed and a new one built in Fatima. (6)
If 69 weeks after this command is announced Rome continues its abomination, the city will be destroyed. (7)
Our Lady told us this is written, Daniel 9 24-25 and Mathew 21 42-44. (8) - The Third Secret of Fatima
Daniel 9:24: Seventy weeks (April 21, 2010 - August 24, 2011) are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city (Rome), that transgression may be finished (the Judeo-Masonic takeover), and sin (heresy against the devil) may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints (the Judeo-Masonic Jesus) may be anointed.
Daniel 9:25: Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince (David's Christ, the Jewish Messiah, Lucifer, the Prince of this world), there shall be seven weeks (June 30, 2011 - August 17, 2011), and sixty-two weeks (April 21, 2010 - June 29, 2011): and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.
Daniel 9:26: And after sixty-two weeks (April 21, 2010 - June 30, 2011) Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him (Deny that Our Lord is the Messiah, unlike Caiphus) shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation (no opportunity for salvation).
Daniel 9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week (the 70th week of Daniel, August 17, 2011 - August 24, 2011): and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation (no valid Sacraments - 1944, no Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - 1962, no valid priests - 1968): and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and TO THE END.
This knowledge is not a part of this Fatima Movement Chapter, but to summarize the secret of the Fatima Movement's ability to stop the Apocalypse, the Original Rosary in its 150 form replaces the destroyed Rite of the Sacrifice of the Mass because Our Lady gave it a “new efficacy” in 1917. As long as one person on earth is fulfilling this requirement every day, the abomination of desolation is stopped and the Apocalypse is halted. Understanding and using the Original Rosary 150 is the secret of the nobody conspiracy and is the muscle behind today's Fatima Movement. That's all it takes.
So in the late 1950's, anxious to get on with their Second Vatican Council to kill the Church and the Mass forever, Freemasonry needed to do to St. Lúcia what they do best- they killed her. With the real Sister Lúcia out of the way, the impostor “Sister Lucy” would be installed to take her place and go on to validate the Masonic Vatican II antipopes and their Novus Ordo “religion” in the 1960's until her death on February 13, 2005. The abomination of desolation set back in, and the advance of the New World Order was back on.
With the seer of Fatima out of the way, the Second Vatican Council was able to convene, drawing worldwide applause from Jewish Freemasons in the press. The Masonic Alta Vendia, the deletion of the Catholic Religion from Rome would finally be accomplished. The god of this world would become the stand-alone, official god of the Vatican, and the fire “Lord” would be universally praised as God alone. The Lord (Satan) had truly deceived all nations with help from his legions. Since Masonry's Lord was now promoted as God alone by Catholics throughout the world in their Sunday “Mass”, they essentially were tricked into denying the Divinity of Christ, Our Lady, and the Holy Ghost. The architect of this blasphemy, Freemason Annibale Bugnini knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote the 1962 Satanic liturgy of the Novus Ordo Mass in Latin. Seven years after his Liturgical release, in 1969, the vernacular form of the Novus Ordo Mass was institutionalized, penned by the men below on the right. Altars were destroyed, communion rails removed, and the Mass was actually reversed.
”Truly, if one of the devils in C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters had been entrusted with the ruin of the liturgy he could not have done it better.” - The words of Dietrich Von Hildebrand, who was, nevertheless, a supporter of the Vatican II religion but felt compelled to make such a statement about the New Mass. Quoted by Michael Davies, Pope Paul's New Mass, 1980.

One of the most intriguing mysteries about this Third Secret of Fatima document was that in 1944, Our Lady actually predicted the future kingdom of John Paul II, even giving the name he would take in 1978. Another fascinating point is that Our Lady references John Paul II's “kingdom.” In 1944, Pius XII was obviously the reigning Masonic king / Anti-Pope, and John Paul II was only known as Karol Józef Wojtyła from Poland. So Our Lady's prophecy in the Third Secret, actually naming this Anti-Pope 40 years in advance is consistent with the Divine.
This isn't the first time Our Lady has named a future occupant of the Chair of St. Peter. In 1917, The Mother of God prophesized the reign of Pius XI, and named him in the Second Secret of Fatima. Our Lady also accurately explained future events such as the end of World War I and the Aurora Borealis, which would become the famous sign of the start of World War II (which Freemason Adolf Hitler understood the Aurora Borealis of Jan. 25, 1938 as the sign of punishment from Heaven, spoken of in the Second Secret of Fatima. He proceeded to invade Austria in 1938, setting into motion World War II).
Of course as you know by now, John Paul II was not a real Catholic Pope, he was just another one of the Jewish-Masonic kings of the Apocalypse. In simple terms, John Paul II ranks as one of the most powerful overlords in Hell, a ranking measured by the numbers of souls he was able to deceive into worshipping the “Lord” during his tenure on Earth. This places him high up on Jacob's Ladder, a Jewish term for the advancement up the chain of command in Hell, with the Devil positioned at the top. A visual of the hierarchy of the Masonic gods of Hell can be better understood with images like this one:
Above: The hierarchy of the gods of Hell in a visualization of the degree system of Freemasonry. The name of the Illuminati game is to deliver the most souls to the Devil by promoting the Lord (Satan) as the “Father in Heaven.” There is no better way for a Freemason to accomplish this task then to occupy what appears to the world to be the Catholic Church, where souls are most vulnerable to Masonic subversion.
“WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Grzegorz Lukasik, 26, snapped the photo April 2 at a mountainside ceremony marking the second anniversary of the pope’s death.” - Oct. 19, 2007 Associated Press
Measured In terms of the sheer numbers of souls he was able to close the doors to Heaven on and send to the fires of Hell, John Paul II assured himself permanent placement as one of the top gods of Hell. In Freemasonry's eternal kingdom, an Anti-Pope leading Catholics into fire worship is about the highest position attainable in this world. This is why both Our Lady and the Apocalypse mention the emergence of these kings in what was supposed to be the last days of the world. The Apocalypse was written long ago by the John, one of the patron saints of Freemasonry, as he lied in a Satanic trance on the island of Patmos. This Apocalypse was put to paper there, and has been the Illuminati's script for the universal worship of their “Lord” and their Jewish Jesus, the antichrist and son of Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12) ever since.
So as a result of this Masonic activity in the Vatican which was shrouded in secrecy and barely understood by the most educated theologians, Our Lady came to save the world from this deception with a set of instructions in Her Fatima Apparitions. Because regular Catholics were unable to grasp the serious nature of what was really happening secretly behind Vatican walls, The Mother of God, who as it turns out is God Herself, ordered in 1944 a future Masonic king and Anti-Pope named John Paul II to transfer the power of the Catholic Church to Fatima, Portugal. What the world failed to understand at the time is that he actually did this. Why? Because no one would understand what he was actually doing.
”During the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone from Peter's tomb
must be removed and transferred to Fatima.
Because the Dogma of faith is not preserved in Rome,
her authority will be removed and given to Portugal.” - Third Secret of Fatima (5)

Basílica da Santíssima Trindade
Março 2004 - 1a Pedra da nova igreja foi oferecida por João Paulo II
Momento da oferta da 1a Pedra, Vaticano, Março 2004
1.a Pedra foi oferecida por João Paulo II
Em visita a Roma, no mês de Março de 2004, o Reitor do Santuário de Fátima foi recebido em audiencia privida pelo Santo Padre, a quem entregou uma mensagem do Bispo de Leiria-Fátima, D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva. A finalidade da audiencia era a entrega pelo Santo Padre ao Santuário de Fátima de primeira pedra da Igreja da Santissima Trindade, cuja construção principiou no início do passado mês de Fevereiro, estando a abertura de fundações a decorrer a ritmo acelerado.
Esta primeira pedra, verdadeira pedra angular no sentido spiritual, consiste num precioso e histórico fragmento marmóreo do túmulo do Apóstolo S. Pedro, sobre o qual está construída a Basilica que lhe é dedicada, no colina do Vaticano. A oferta do Santo Padre, cujo amor para com o Santuário de Fátima tem sido demostrado em muitas e varidas ocasiões, será mais um marco a manifestar a sua profunda convicção de dever a Nossa Senhora de Fátima o facto de não ter sucumbido ao atentado de 13 de Maio de 1981. Ao mesmo tempo, esta precoisa relíquia servirá também de estímulo para todos quantos vierem a visitar o novo templo, no sentido de cultivarem o respeito para com a autoridade suprema de Igreja, a quem o Segredo de Fátima dá relevo de primordial importância. Nas Memórias de Irmã Lúcia é patente o alto lugar que a devoção ao Papa ocupa no coração dos três Pastorinhos e sobretudo no da pequena Jacinta.
Esta pedra angular a nova igreja virá assim confirmar os três grandes amores dos cristàos de Portugal: a Eucaristia, Maria e o Papa.
Bênção da primeira pedra
A cerimónia de bênção e colocação da primeira pedra da Igreja da Santíssima Trindade teve lugar no dia 6 de Junho de 2004, precisamente no dia em que a Igreja universal celebrou a solenidade da Santíssima Trindade.
O dia em que a Igreja universal celebrou em 2004 a Santíssima Trindade, a 6 de Junho, revestiu-se no Santuário de Fátima de uma solenidade especial. A data foi escolhida para a colocação da Primeira Pedra da Igreja da Santíssima Trindade, que ficará para sempre como símbolo e selo da unidade de Fátima com a Cátedra de Pedro.
Benzido e oferecido pelo Santo Padre em 9 de Março deste ano, o fragmento marmóreo foi retirado do sepulcro do Apóstolo S. Pedro, sobre o qual foi edificada a basílica com o seu nome, em Roma.
Após a habitual Eucaristia Internacional de Domingo o andor com a imagem de Nossa Senhora de Fátima foi levado em procissão até ao cimo do Recinto, junto de vedação das obras da Igreja da Santíssima Trindade. Nesse local foi feita a bênção da Primeira Pedra.
A presidir às celebrações, o Bispo da Diocese de Leiria-Fátima D. Serafim ferreira e Silva implorou o auxilio divino para a obra que, disse, "se distina a acolher os verdadeiros servidores de Deus". "Pela intercessão da Bem-aventurada Virgem Maria e dos Beatos Francisco e Jacinta Marto, seja esta obra um convite permanente à oração e à penitência, na reconciiação e na paz, como pediu Nossa Senhora na Mensagem de Fátima; e uma conjugação de culto e cultura", rezou D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva.
Na homilia desta celebração, o prelado deixou uma palavra aos mais cépticos em relação ao projecto: "Apesar das críticas e das incompreensões, queremos uma obra digna cresça sem fronteiras, ao serviço da evangelização, ao serviço da fé".
Considerando o Santuário de Fátima que a oferta do Santo Padre João Paulo II cumprirá melhor a sua missão se permanecer à vista de todos os que vierem a visitar, dedidiu-se à sua colocação, após a conclusão da Igreja, num local que possa tornar mais patente a gratidão ao Santo Padre. Foi, por isso, colocada na raiz do edifícip uma outra pedra, tirada do maciço rochoso da escavação das obras.
Na bênção da pedra de substituição, colocada de seguida na fundação da Igreja da Santíssima Trindade, D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva pediu ao Senhor para que a obra "facilite às multidões que nela se reunirem o acolhimento da Mensagem de Fátima e, asssim, dóceis ao Espirito Santo, unidos a Cristo, pedra angular, membros vivos de uma única Igreja, os peregrinos de Fátima proclamarão a esperança do reino eterno de Deus, no amor e na paz".
Terminada a bênção das obras e a colocação da 1.a pedra, o andor com a Imagem de Nossa Senhora de Fátima e todo o grupo humano presente regressaram à Capelinha das Aparições.
ENGLISH:
Basilica of the Holy Trinity
March 2004 - First Stone of the new church was offered by John Paul II
Moment of the offering of the First Stone, Vatican, March 2004
First Stone was offered by John Paul II
During a visit to Rome in March 2004, the Rector of the Sanctuary of Fatima was received in private audience by the Holy Father, to whom he delivered a message from the Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva. The purpose of the audience was the delivery by the Holy Father to the Sanctuary of Fatima of the first stone of the Church of the Holy Trinity, whose construction began at the beginning of last February, with the opening of foundations proceeding at an accelerated pace.
This first stone, a true cornerstone in the spiritual sense, consists of a precious and historic marble fragment from the tomb of the Apostle St. Peter, upon which the Basilica dedicated to him is built, on the Vatican hill. The offering from the Holy Father, whose love for the Sanctuary of Fatima has been demonstrated on many and varied occasions, will be yet another milestone manifesting his profound conviction that he owes to Our Lady of Fatima the fact that he did not succumb to the assassination attempt of May 13, 1981. At the same time, this precious relic will also serve as an encouragement to all who come to visit the new temple, in the sense of cultivating respect for the supreme authority of the Church, to whom the Secret of Fatima gives paramount importance. In the Memoirs of Sister Lucia, the high place that devotion to the Pope occupies in the hearts of the three Shepherd Children and especially in that of little Jacinta is evident.
This cornerstone of the new church will thus confirm the three great loves of the Christians of Portugal: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope.
Blessing of the First Stone
The ceremony of blessing and laying of the first stone of the Church of the Holy Trinity took place on June 6, 2004, precisely on the day that the universal Church celebrated the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity.
The day the universal Church celebrated the Holy Trinity in 2004, June 6th, took on a special solemnity at the Sanctuary of Fatima. The date was chosen for the laying of the First Stone of the Church of the Holy Trinity, which will forever remain as a symbol and seal of the unity of Fatima with the Chair of Peter.
Blessed and offered by the Holy Father on March 9th of this year, the marble fragment was removed from the tomb of the Apostle St. Peter, upon which the basilica bearing his name was built in Rome.
After the usual International Sunday Eucharist, the litter with the image of Our Lady of Fatima was carried in procession to the top of the grounds, next to the fence of the construction site of the Church of the Holy Trinity. There, the blessing of the First Stone took place.
Presiding over the celebrations, the Bishop of the Diocese of Leiria-Fátima, D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva, implored divine assistance for the work which, he said, "is intended to welcome the true servants of God". "Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto, may this work be a permanent invitation to prayer and penance, in reconciliation and peace, as Our Lady asked in the Message of Fatima; and a combination of worship and culture," prayed D. Serafim Ferreira e Silva.
In his homily at this celebration, the prelate addressed those most skeptical about the project: "Despite the criticism and misunderstandings, we want a worthy work to grow without borders, at the service of evangelization, at the service of faith."
Considering that the offering of the Holy Father John Paul II will better fulfill its mission if it remains visible to all who come to visit, the Sanctuary of Fatima decided to place it, after the completion of the Church, in a location that can make gratitude to the Holy Father more evident. For this reason, another stone, taken from the rocky massif of the excavation of the works, was placed at the base of the building.
During the blessing of the replacement stone, subsequently placed in the foundation of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Bishop Serafim Ferreira e Silva asked the Lord that the work "may facilitate the reception of the Message of Fatima by the multitudes who gather there, and thus, docile to the Holy Spirit, united to Christ, the cornerstone, living members of a single Church, the pilgrims of Fatima will proclaim the hope of the eternal kingdom of God, in love and peace."
After the blessing of the works and the laying of the first stone, the litter with the Image of Our Lady of Fatima and the entire group present returned to the Chapel of the Apparitions.
