Easter Sunday 2022

Dear St Martin of Tours Family and Friends—

A Blessed Easter to all of you! 

As you are aware, a great event occurred in the Church and in the World when on March 25, the Feast of the Incarnation, Pope Francis consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in fulfilment of the request made at Fatima in 1917 to the three shepherd children. Although Pope John Paul II performed a similar Act of Consecration in 1984, he did not mention Russia by name. Even though this act was, according to Sr. Lucia, the only remaining  seer from Fatima, accepted by heaven, this time the act was fulfilled perfectly with Russia being mentioned by name.  

This is important because according to Our Lady’s words of 1917, Russia was going to become the chosen instrument of God’s justice in the world, and that Russia could be used as an instrument in two ways: Either as an instrument of chastisement through the spread of atheism and socialism through the world; or as an instrument of the world’s conversion to Christianity.

We have already seen that Russia and her ideology has been used quite horribly as an instrument of chastisement. Even after the Fall of the Berlin wall (which some have credited to the Consecration by John Paul in 1984) and the near-miraculous avoidance of nuclear war, nonetheless it is clear that atheism and socialism has infected the West, most diabolically in its most hallowed institutions since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. How strange it is that in just a generation this nation which once stood for God, justice, religion, and the traditional family, now promotes ideologies which promote pornography, sexual deviance, the destruction of the family, abortion; and at awards ceremonies and in music videos we watch pop stars perform their songs using the rites and symbology of Satanic rites. 

[Note: To the right I have included an image of “Our Lady of America.” If you cut it out from this bulletin, there is a prayer on the reverse of the image we should pray every day for the return of our nation to purity and holiness.]

So what are we hoping will be the result of the recent consecration? The answer is this—nothing less than the miraculous conversion of Russia to the Roman Catholic Faith, the Faith of adopted in the year 988 when Kiev was Russia’s capital.

Do you see now why this current war, taking place in the land of Russia’s birth is so important? 

However, a consecration is not magic. We must do our part by praying the Five First Saturdays devotion to bring about the conversion of Russia, which if it happens will usher in peace and a new era of glory for the Catholic Faith throughout the planet.  

For unless Russia is converted, the future of the world will be at stake.  We remain a people of hope! But there is hope only if we pray!
