Words of Sr. Lucia in her last public interview in 1957 with Fr. Fuentes
Referring to
the vision of Hell that Our Lady showed her and Jacinta and Francisco, she
said:
“For this
reason, Father, it is my mission not just to tell about the material
punishments that will certainly come over the earth if the world does not pray
and do penance. No, my mission is to tell everyone the imminent danger we are
in of losing our souls for all eternity if we remain fixed in sin.
“Father, we
should not wait for a call to the world from Rome on the part of the Holy
Father to do penance. Nor should we wait for a call for penance to come from
the Bishops in our Dioceses, nor from our Religious Congregations. No, Our Lord
has often used these means, and the world has not paid heed. So, now each one
of us must begin to reform himself spiritually. Each one has to save not only
his own soul, but also all the souls that God has placed on his pathway.
“Prayer and
sacrifice are the two means to save the world. As for the Holy Rosary, Father,
in these last times in which we are living, the Blessed Virgin has given a new
efficacy to the praying of the Holy Rosary. This in such a way that there is no
problem that cannot be resolved by praying the Rosary, no matter how difficult
it is - be it temporal or above all spiritual - in the spiritual life of each
of us or the lives of our families, be they our families in the world or
Religious Communities, or even in the lives of peoples and nations.
“I repeat,
there is no problem, as difficult as it may be, that we cannot resolve at this
time by praying the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves,
sanctify ourselves, console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.
