The second secret included Mary's instructions on how to save souls from hell and convert the world to the Christian faith, also revealed by Lúcia in her Third Memoir:

Lúcia Simão also founded Ceará's first black consciousness movement in the early 1980s.

Francisco Marto ( June 11, 1908 – April 4, 1919 ) and his sister Jacinta Marto ( March 11, 1910 – February 20, 1920 ), also known as Blessed Francisco Marto and Blessed Jacinta Marto, together with their cousin, Lúcia dos Santos ( 1907 – 2005 ) were the children from Aljustrel near Fátima, Portugal, who said they witnessed three apparitions of an angel in 1916 and several apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1917.

Sarahyba was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and her mother, Mara Lúcia Sarahyba, was also a model in Brazil.

In the 20th century, in the last apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fátima, Portugal, Sister Lúcia, one of the most famous visionaries of Our Lady, said that the Virgin appeared to her as Our Lady of Mount Carmel ( holding the Brown Scapular ).

Lúcia, moved by what she said was an interior impulse, called out to the crowd to look at the sun.

However, in the Blue Army's Spanish magazine, Sol de Fatima, in the September 1985 issue, Sister Lúcia said that the ceremony did not fulfill the Virgin Mary's request, as there was no specific mention of Russia, and " many bishops attached no importance to it ".

In 2001, Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone issued a statement, claiming that he had met with Sister Lúcia, who reportedly told him, " I have already said that the consecration desired by Our Lady was made in 1984, and has been accepted in Heaven.

Paul Kramer and Nicholas Gruner, Russia has never been specifically consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by any Pope simultaneously with all the world's bishops, which is what Lúcia in the 1985 interview had said Mary had asked for.

Some sources, including Canon Barthas and Cardinal Ottaviani, said that Lúcia insisted to them it must be released by 1960, saying that, " by that time, it will be more clearly understood ", and, " because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so.

Lúcia later said that, in 1916, she and her cousins had several visions of an angel calling himself the " Angel of Portugal " and the " Angel of Peace " who taught them to bow with their heads to the ground and to say " O God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you.

Lúcia said that the Lady emphasized Acts of Reparation and prayers to console Jesus for the sins of the world.

Lúcia said that Mary's words were " When you make some sacrifice, say ' O Jesus, it is for your love, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

'" At the first apparition, Lúcia wrote, the children were so moved by the radiance they perceived that they involuntarily said " Most Holy Trinity, I adore you!

Lúcia wrote that she and her cousins defined " sinners " not as non-Catholics but as those who had fallen away from the church or, more specifically, willfully indulged in sinful activity, particularly " sins of the flesh " and " acts of injustice and a lack of charity towards the poor, widows and orphans, the ignorant and the helpless " which she said were even worse than sins of impurity.

In a letter to a colleague after his election, he vowed to perform the Consecration of Russia which Lúcia said Mary had asked for.

In 1920, shortly before her death at age nine, Jacinta Marto reportedly discussed the Alliance of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary with a then 12 year old Lúcia Santos and said:

She said that after striking up a conversation with him, the child transformed himself into the Child Jesus, who reprehended Sister Lúcia for not doing more to promote the five First Saturdays devotion.

Cardinal Bertone reported that Lúcia Santos, one of the seers of the Fátima apparitions, said that the consecration requested by the Virgin Mary was fulfilled and accepted in heaven, and that everyone should live out the consecration personally by faithfully wearing the Brown Scapular.

When Sister Lúcia was asked in an interview why the Blessed Virgin appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel in her last apparition, she replied: " Because Our Lady wants all to wear the Scapular ...

Most of his children books were set in the Sítio do Picapau Amarelo (" Yellow Woodpecker Farm " or " Yellow Woodpecker Ranch "), a small farm in the countryside, and featured the elderly ranch owner Dona Benta (" Mrs. Benta "), her two grandchildren — a girl, Lúcia (" Lucia ") who is always referred to only by her nickname, Narizinho (" Little Nose ", because she had a turned-up nose ) and a boy, Pedrinho (" Little Pete ") — and a black servant and cook, Tia Nastácia (" Aunt Anastacia ").

Later, Sister Lúcia reported that on February 15, 1926 while emptying a garbage can outside the garden, saw a child she thought she recognized.

Sister Lúcia reported seeing the Virgin Mary again in 1925 at the Dorothean convent at Pontevedra, Galicia ( Spain ).

In 1929, Sister Lúcia reported that Mary returned and repeated her request for the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart.

Sister Lúcia reportedly saw Mary in private visions periodically throughout her life.

In 1936 and again in 1941, Sister Lúcia claimed that the Virgin Mary had predicted the deaths of two of the children during the second apparition on June 13, 1917.

According to Sister Lúcia, the Virgin Mary promised that the Consecration of Russia would lead to Russia's conversion and an era of peace.

Some believe that Sister Lúcia verified that this ceremony fulfilled the requests of the Virgin Mary.

One year after World War II had started, Sister Lúcia asked Pope Pius XII to consecrate the world and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Three Secrets of Fátima consist of a series of visions and prophecies allegedly given by an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young Portuguese shepherds, Lúcia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto, starting on 13 May 1917.

In 1925 the Fátima visionary Lúcia Santos reported further Marian apparitions ( known as the Pontevedra apparitions ) and stated that the Virgin Mary of Fátima appeared to her again:

Lúcia Santos stated that at Pontevedra the Virgin Mary revealed to her Mary's Peace Plan consisting of three elements:

It caused controversy in the September 1985 issue when it reported that one of the Fatima visionaries, Sister Lúcia dos Santos claimed that the Vatican had not complied with the Virgin Mary's request to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

It is commonly believed that Sister Lúcia verified that this ceremony fulfilled the requests of the Virgin Mary.

The children refused, but Lúcia told him everything short of the secrets, and offered to ask the Lady for permission to tell the Administrator the secrets.

The pope, as Bishop of Rome, may open a process and has the authority to waive the five year waiting period, as was done for Mother Teresa by Pope John Paul II, and for Lúcia Santos and for John Paul II himself by Pope Benedict XVI.

It is believed this was because Sister Lúcia had continued to receive more revelations and the evidence needed to be examined in the course of proceedings for her possible canonization.

When asked by the Bishop of Leiria in 1943 to reveal the third secret, Lúcia struggled for a short period, being " not yet convinced that God had clearly authorized her to act.

* Sr. Lúcia wrote detailed accounts or " memoirs " of her cousins for their canonization process, later adding a detailed account of the apparitions and information about her family.

All five memoirs are available for free online in several languages as Fatima in Lúcia ’ s own words.

Towards the end of December 1940, Lúcia Santos sent a letter to Pope Pius XII, disclosing for the first time part of the secret about Russia and urging him to consecrate Russia.
