Seer Lucia /Fatima: Hence from now on we must choose sides.
CAUSE OF SEER“S DEATH IS DETAILED ALONG WITH HER WARNINGS OF BATTLE WITH DEVIL AND GREAT DARKNESS AMIDST PRIESTHOOD



Fatima seer Lucia de Jesus dos Santos succumbed to heart and respiratory failure after declining in December, according to a source at Fatima who is close to the situation. From then on it was downhill until the famous nun, known for seeing the Most Holy Mother in 1917, died February 13 of what appeared to be congestive heart failure.

Really, of course, it was the simpler verdict of old age. Sister Lucia would have been 98 on March 22, an incredibly able nun who always sought to lead a hidden life, rarely appearing in public, except with Popes at major Fatima events, such as the beatification of her cousins and fellow seers, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, in 2000. For years she did menial tasks, refused to stray beyond the cloister grate, and sang in the convent choir.

It was Sister Lucia who remained as the sole survivor of what will stand as among the most famous apparitions in history, along with Guadalupe and Lourdes.

"A humble person, she recollected herself in prayer whenever she could," said Bishop Albino Cleto of Coimbra. "She was always available to people who requested an interview but shied away from contacts that spelled publicity or protocol. She was a true Carmelite."

"Sister Lucia inspired confidence because of the peace in which she lived," added Bishop Joćo Alves, the retired head of the Coimbra Diocese, according to the Ecclesia agency. "A peace that resided in faith and a constant union with God."

The Pope said he has been sustained by her daily prayers. "I remember with emotion the various meetings I had with her and the bonds of spiritual friendship that intensified with the passing of time," John Paul said. "I always felt supported by the daily gift of her prayers, especially in difficult moments of trial and suffering," he added in a message to Bishop Cleto.

It was last December that the nun stopped eating normally and grew progressively weak, remaining in bed for the following two months. The source said she was never hospitalized because she was "very well attended," including by a female doctor on the premises in Coimbra, Portugal, where Lucia spent decades in the Carmelite cloister.

Indications are that apparitions or visions of the Blessed Mother occurred to the nun on at least an occasional basis for many years after the famous 1917 appearances at Cova da Iria in Fatima -- both at Coimbra and during earlier stays in Spain.

Controversies over the famed Fatima secret and the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary continue, with those who believe the consecration was not carried out still arguing that it wasn“t while the Vatican has noted that in a recent interview, Sister Lucia -- who repeatedly requested an end to the controversy -- said the 1984 consecration of the world, and implicitly Russia, to her Immaculate Heart was accepted by the Virgin Mary and led to a "period of peace" due to the collapse of Communism in the U.S.S.R., which at the time had thousands of nuclear missiles poised to strike targets across the world (and which, while at peace with the U.S. since the 1980s, remains a potential threat).

The fall of Communism, Sister Lucia said in the early 1990s, was a "triumph" of the Immaculate Heart.

But that hardly softened Lucia“s prophetic view of the world and the future, which may be in as serious a state as during the initial apparitions. Sister Lucia once said that the world was in the throes of a "diabolical disorientation" and that the devil was "in the mood" for a final confrontation.

Lucia said her two cousins always saw the Blessed Mother as sad because of the offenses of mankind and the punishments that consequently threatened.

God would chastise the world, she fretted as mankind neared the 1960s, and it would be "terrible."

Whether that concern -- whether the specific chastisement she saw -- still holds true or was a worry attached to the rise of atomic weapons in the subsequent Sixties is fodder for interpretation. At least for a "period," the Russian threat has been dismantled.

But there are now other, equally pressing concerns, as well as the questions. Will that "period of peace" last? And what may now come?

As one author and Fatima expert Frere Michel de la Sainte pointed out, Lucia was "not talking about the “end of the world“ properly speaking, which is identified with the return of Christ in glory for the last judgment. This indicates only that we are entering the last great period of the world“s history, without being able to judge how long it will last."

There are now secrets from sites such as Medjugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovina that are expected to unfold in the near future -- secrets that are more numerous than those from Fatima and by all indications at least as serious as the three Lucia related.

"Father," Sister Lucia once said in reported conversations with a Mexican named Augustine Fuentes, "the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world but she made me understand this for three reasons. The first reason is because she told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Hence from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil."

If we“re choosing sides I choose shirts over skins.

Pope John Paul said that "Christ was a Jew, and that as Christians, we are all Semites at heart." Why we are not openly and actively supporting Israel and physically forcing Iran to give up its nuclear weapons program is profoundly disturbing to me.
