Our Lady's Words 


These quotations are in the exact order in which Our Lady of Fatima spoke them beginning with the first apparition on May 13, 1917. 


  1. OFFERING:   "Will you offer yourselves to God, and bear with submission all the suffering He sends you, in reparation for the sins that offend Him, and for the conversion of sinners?"
  2. BLESSED SACRAMENT:  Our Lady opened her hands and flooded the children of light.  They fell to their knees, repeating:  "Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee!  My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament."
  3. HEAVEN:  "I come down from heaven."  Our Lady promised that the children to whom she appeared would go to heaven, but one of them would have to pray many Rosaries "first."
  4. PURGATORY:  "She is in purgatory..."  (In reference to a friend, Amelia, who recently died)
  5. ROSARY:  "Pray the Rosary everyday to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war."  (In July.) "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell;  lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy."
  6. IMMACULATE HEART:  "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God."
  7. SACRIFICES:  "Make sacrifices for sinners, and say often, especially while making a sacrifice:  'O Jesus, this is for the love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
  8. HELL: "You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. It is to save them that GOd wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.  If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace."  Before Our Lady spoke these words, she opened her hands, as Lucia says in her Memoirs, and "we saw a sea of fire Plunged in this flame were devils and souls that looked like transparent embers; others were black or bronze, and in human form; these were suspended in flames...."
  9. FIVE WARNINGS:  "If my requests are not heeded, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church;  the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various entire nations will be annihilated."
  10. PEACE:  "If my request are fulfilled, Russia will be converted and there will be peace....  Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. . . an era of peace will be granted to mankind."
  11. PRAYER: "Pray, pray a great deal and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them."
  12. AMENDMENT OF LIFE:  "I have come to ask the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins.  They must cease offending God, who is already too much offended."
  13. ST. JOSEPH:  THe only saint who appears at Fatima beside Our Lady.  St. Joseph held the Child Jesus in his arms and blessed the people.
  14. SCAPULAR OF MOUNT CARMEL:  In the final vision on October 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared in the Carmelite habit wearing the Brown Scapular, highlighting the importance of this sacramental.
  15. FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION:  "I promise to assist at the hour of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, to all who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months:  (a)  Confess,  (b)  Receive Holy Communion, (c) Pray the five decades of the Rosary, and (d) Keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, all with the intention of making reparation to my Immaculate Heart."
  16. WAR:  "War is a punishment for sin."
  17. FASHIONS:  "Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much."
  18. MATRIMONY:  "Many marriages are not good, they do not please Our Lord and are not of God."
  19. PRIESTS:  "Priest must be pure, very pure.  They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls.  The disobedience of priest to their superiors and to the Holy Father is very displeasing to Our Lord."
  20. SIXTH COMMANDMENT:  "More souls to to hell because of sins of impurity than for any other reason.
