I thought the whole article, including the fact that the consecration to Russia has not been completed as our Lady of Fatima requested, was interesting.
Father Espers is a good writer. Try to read some of his books. The books are excellent. The article is good and offers a scenario which is very possible.
The article had a lot of interesting points. But I was amazed to find it made no mention of Our Blessed Mothers request for us lay people to play our part. We (the lay people) were asked to make the 5 First Saturdays in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We were asked to do the following to work with Blessed Mother in all this. On the Ist Saturday of 5 Consecutive Months. 1. Go to Confession 2. Receive Holy Communion 3. Say 5 decades of Holy Rosary 4. 15 minutes meditation on one or more mysteries of Holy Rosary. 5. Offer this to make reparation for the sins which offend our Heavenly Mother. We can't blame the Pope or the Bishops if we have not done our part.
Sr Lucia : "Father, we should not wait for an appeal to the world to come from Rome on the part of the Holy Father, to do penance. Nor should we wait for the call to penance to come from our bishops in our diocese, nor from the religious congregations. No! Our Lord has already very often used these means, and the world has not paid attention. That is why now, it is necessary for each one of us to begin to reform himself spiritually. Each person must not only save his own soul but also help to save all the souls that God has placed on our path."
