Among many other things she shared that she would return to ask for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If her requests were heeded, Russia would be converted and there would be peace; if not, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good would be martyred and the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations would be annihilated.On May 29th-30th, 1930, Our Lord explained that five Saturdays were due to the five kinds of offenses and blasphemies spoken against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lord ended this communication by telling Sister Lucia that it was His own mother who asked for these acts of reparation in order to move him to \"forgive those souls who have the misfortune of offending her.\" Those who commit such blasphemies against our Lady are in grave jeopardy of losing their souls, for these sins seriously offend God Himself. In spite of these terrible indignities, it is our Lady, as the Blessed Mother, even of those who offend her so grievously, who is concerned for their eternal salvation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740677828881,"sku":"NIN9780971007550","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780971007550.jpg?v=1763484486"},{"product_id":"our-lady-of-fatima-book-diana-ruzicka-9780971007567","title":"Our Lady of Fatima","description":"This book provides a chronological history of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal and related visions and events (i.e. Akita, Japan) to the present day (1914-2024) over a 110 year period.
