    The 3rd Secret

    Vision Explained

    Following is an edited transcript of an interview with Father

    Nicholas Gruner by Tom Masset, host of Heavens Peace Plan

    Radio Program. For ease of reading, the interviewer questions

    are in italic. Father Gruners response is in regular type.

    [Tom] Father, as you know, the so-calledThirdSecret has been

    published on Monday, June 26, of this year and I have in front of me

    a copy of the text they released. Perhaps, for the benefit of ourlisteners, you could give us a run down on how you interpret this,

    line, by line, by line.

    Vatican Interpretation Not Infallible

    [Father Gruner] First of all, the interpretation released with the text is not

    an infallible statement of the Pope or the magisterium. It is a commentary

    thats an opinion offered by two officials in the Vatican. Cardinal Ratzinger has

    been quoted as saying that one does not have to accept their interpretation.

    Any Catholic who thinks Im going against the Vatican or the Pope can be quite

    at ease. This is a matter that we have freedom of opinion on.

    I do not accept that interpretation. Im not the only one by any means. On

    the front pages of the Ital ian papers, Msgr. Balducci stated that he doesnt

    accept it. Apparently there are also headlines that say there are bishops who

    dont accept it. So, as you can see, anyone who thinks I am somehow against

    the Vatican or the Pope on this issue can be at ease. This is a matter uponwhich we all have freedom of opinion.

    Secret Not About Past

    The second thing I would like to point out is that the Secret is not a thing of

    the past. Cardinal Ottaviani, in 1955, told us there was a prophecy in the

    Secret. It is a prophecy in the strict sense of the word, predicting the future

    and predicting it in the name of God.

    Cardinal Ratzinger offers a different definition for prophecy; nevertheless the

    commonly accepted meaning of the word is to predict the future. This is an

    accurate use of the term, and thats how Im using the term here.

    So we have here a prophetic vision which is also symbolic. Cardinal

    Ratzinger or the commentators coming from the Vatican including Cardinal

    Sodano would have us believe that the vision refers to shooting the Pope in

    1981.

    Im not saying people have to take my opinion just because I give it any

    more than Cardinal Ratzingers opinion, just because he gives his, but the

    facts are this. The vision reports the Pope and bishops and priests, nuns and

    brothers, men religious and women religious as well as lay people being killed

    by an army. They were being killed by bullets, they were being killed by arrows

    surprisingly enough. They were being killed.

    Its not a question of the Pope taking a bullet, then recovering from a

    serious injury. Were talking about the Pope being killed in this vision, not by

    one lone gunman, but by an army of men attacking various ranks of the

    hierarchy; various levels should we say in the Church and society. This vision

    then, if it is not of the past and it is prophetic, is something of the future.

    Angels Warning

    I believe this vision is a warning, as the angel says, penance, penance,

    penance. It is providential that God has al lowed this vision to be released tous at this time.

    Sr. Lucy, writing about this vision in 1982, and Im quoting from memory the

    Vatican documents just released, says that the prophecy of this vision in the

    Third Secret has not been fully realized. So obviously the 1981 shooting does

    not constitute the end of the prophecy.

    Sr. Lucy tells us that in a lit tle while, well be making great strides towards

    it. She writes this to the Pope on May 12, 1982 and says that in a lit tle while,well make great strides. And so, if in 1982, in a litt le while well make great

    strides, now, 18 years later, the realization of this prophecy cannot be very far

    off.

    I think the Vatican has tried to tell us that this is all in the past,

    its over and done with. You bring up a very important point that this

    is not done with. I was raised as a teenager in the 50s and we

    looked forward to the release of the third secret in 1960. A lot of

    people now are doubting whether this in fact is the true Third Secret.

    Theyre saying that they are going to pay no attention to this.Theyre saying this must be only part of the secret.

    Something Missing

    It appears to be only part of the Third Secret. I have no reason to doubt

    that it is Sr. Lucys writing and she refers to it as the Secret. However, we

    dont have the end of her writing and so it does not seem to be the whole

    Secret. I have found that the common man in the street is questioning that if

    thats all there was then why did they wait 40 years before they revealed it?

    Well I can agree with that.

    Msgr. Corrado Balducci a theologian and demonologist in Rome, has been

    reported on the front pages of Italian newspapers as saying that he does not

    believe that what was published is all there is. Almost everyone I have spoken

    to since the release simply believe there must be more. They may not all be

    saying it publicly; they are saying it to their friends and neighbors and in theirfamilies. They are saying that cant be al l there is.

    They have a sense of proportion. Whether simple folks or highly educated,

    they all know that something doesnt fit; it doesnt jive; it doesnt match. You

    know the kind of oaths that people were put under to not reveal it the few

    people that knew it. It doesnt match the great care and caution theyve taken

    to not reveal i t and then wait ing 40 years after the promise to reveal i t in

    1960. All of these things dont match. Nor does it match Sr. Lucys inability to

    write it down for three months because it was so horrible. It simply doesnt fit.

    Its not proportionate.

    It s like a puzzle. The first two parts have already been put in

    place. The First Secret, the Second Secret and this Third Secret

    doesnt fit. You try to get it every which way and it doesnt complete

    it; its incomplete.

    Another point to consider is that Our Lady said at the end of the Second part

    of the Secret, In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved.

    etc. Etc. seems to be the last words She says. Obviously, thats not quite a

    fit.

    The Vision Explained

    Coming back to the vision itself, even though it is incomplete, I would not

    want to dismiss it. What weve been given is a very great key. Now I wouldnt

    be able to explain this as well as Our Lady; however, since thats all weve

    been given, I will try to help people understand this as best as I know myself.

    First, the Pope goes through a great city. What is that city? That city is the

    City of God. What is the City of God? It is the Catholic Church and the Catholic

    civilization. It is half destroyed. We can see that taking place, already, before

    our eyes, spiritually speaking.

    Many are losing the Faith.

    People are losing the Faith and not only the practice of the Faith but also

    the results it has in culture. In 1950, in Western Europe or North America, no

    one would even think of legalizing abortion. They would have laughed it out of

    existence. Im not talking about the plotters or the conspirators; Im talking

    about the average man in the street because it would be just so foreign to

    their way of thinking. But, by corrupting Christian hearts l ittle by little, people

    have accepted as normal these unspeakable crimes and a lot of other things.

    So in a certain sense, certainly their souls are dead i f they are

    living in mortal sin.

    Yes, and the vision shows the city is half destroyed and the Pope is going

    through the city and hes in pain because he sees the results of not listening

    to Our Lady. Sr. Lucy tells us that the vision is about what would happen when

    we dont listen to Our Lady.

    So now it is also described as a mountain. And if you look at Isaias 2:3, it

    says: Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. This mountain is the Catholic

    Church, as the commentators of the Douay Rheims tells us. You have here a

    vision of the Pope going towards the Cross; going towards his final destination

    as it is for all of us to go towards Heaven. But on his way hes going through

    the city and the city is half desolate.

    Now we also see another picture here. Its not only the Pope who gets shot,

    but its also bishops who get shot. Its also priests who get shot, and nuns,

    and religious brothers who get shot and killed, all of them, as well as lay

    people. Its not by accident that these soldiers pick them out to shoot at.

    There is a war against the Church going on. It is a war fought by organized

    armies. This vision gives the symbolism of soldiers and no doubt there are

    even soldiers in these armies but there are soldiers of other kinds too.

    Russias Errors Will Spread

    The whole message of Fatima talks about Russia spreading her errors

    throughout the world. Of course, we have understood that to be communism

    and it doesnt mean it still isnt communism because communism is very much

    alive. Marxist doctrine basically is a doctrine of hatred, hatred of God andhatred of your fellow man. This kind of diabolical hatred just doesnt dry up

    one day when Gorbachev declares that theres no more cold war. This hatred

    started long before Gorbachev was even heard of.

    I understand Gorbachev was in the Vatican the day after this was

    released.

    Yes, that was outrageous! That is a whole other matter that will be

    discussed. But to continue with the vision, I asked myself why did the Pope

    decide to reveal the secret. It becomes clear when you realize that it wasprobably last October, I believe, when he made that decision, and what

    happened last October? Well, in September there was the Indonesian event in

    East Timor. The North Americans dont know this but it was reported in French

    journals the officers of the Indonesian Army were ordered to fire on priests and

    nuns and shoot to kill.

    Really?

    Yes. I m sure the Pope had eyewitness reports. Bishop Carlos Belo was in

    Rome and he had eyewitness reports of this war against the Church which was

    shooting live bullets at real live people and they were being killed by this. I

    think that must have tripped his memory to remind him of this vision contained

    in the Secret. Its also then a picture of what will happen to the rest of us

    unless we listen in time.

    This brings us back to Cardinal Ratzingers point which he said in 1984. Ive

    read the Third Secret. It concerns the dangers to the Faith and to the l ife of

    http://pdfcrowd.com/http://pdfcrowd.com/redirect/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.fatimacrusader.com%2fcr64%2fcr64pg18.asp&id=ma-130612033023-d3adc25fhttp://pdfcrowd.com/customize/http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/?ref=pdf

    the Christian and therefore to the life of the world. At first glance, you havent

    got the dangers to the Faith in this vision but you certainly have the dangers

    to the life of the Christian, and the danger to the life of the world. This latter

    is represented by the angel with the sword. If the people dont do enough

    penance then the whole world will suffer and youll have the annihilation of

    nations that Our Lady predicted at Fatima.

    If thats the result, the reason why is because the angel has held back, and

    that is by the hand of Our Lady. But if people arent praying to Our Lady thenthe angels chastisement will fall upon the world. And so if people are not

    listening to the message to pray the rosary, to wear their scapular, thus are

    not invoking the protection of Our Lady, then the just chastisement will fall

    upon mankind.

    So this is both a spiritual death and a physical death that we see

    here?

    3rd Secret Vision is a Gift

    Yes, and so the vision in this text is indicative of the Secret. I dont have

    the wisdom or the abili ty as Our Lady does but i t is really a gift for the Church

    to be able to look at this vision. It is revealed to us for our time because its a

    vision of the future, and I must respectfully disagree with Cardinal Ratzinger

    when he suggests that people want to know the future out of curiosity. No, I

    think God is giving us this vision of the future and giving His prophetic

    message predicting the future so we can adjust our living accordingly so we

    wont have this chastisement.

    That is why I want the people to realize that knowing the future; what will

    happen and the terrible consequences, are important to them. And if they start

    learning this out of curiosity and go deeper, they will realize that theres a real

    message here for them. If you want to live happily in this world as well as in

    the next, take great care that you look to this prophetic vision so that you

    dont suffer the consequences by ignoring it.

    Im afraid many people will ignore this. They dont see how it fits

    without Our Ladys explanation. Would you explain the end of the

    sentence, Beneath the two arms of the Cross?

    That statement upholds the classic teaching of the Church that the blood of

    martyrs is the seed of the Faith. That is, where there has been martyrs then

    their martyrdom is not in vain. God collects the merits of the martyrs, and

    applies, through the merits of the martyrs, graces to the people who are stil l

    on earth, for them to come to conversion. So some people wil l benefit from the

    martyrdom by those martyrs praying for them and them converting to God andfinally realizing the promise that Our Lady says, In the end My Immaculate

    Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, Russia wil l be

    converted and a period of peace will be given to mankind. Of course, it wont

    be the Holy Father whos killed who will do the consecration of Russia, it will

    be a Holy Father who succeeds him who does it. That is why it is so important

    for us to pray, work and sacrifice for the proper Consecration of Russia because

    if the present Holy Father does not do it soon, we have grave reason to fear

    that the soldiers, armed enemies of the Church, will actually kill him and many

    Cardinals, bishops and priests, nuns and brothers, as well as laypeople.

    Then why would this have been more important in 1960?

    It would have been more clear then. Obviously, we would have avoided

    Vietnam, among other things, and the holocaust of more than 700 million

    babies killed since they brought in legalized abortion in the West. It would

    have been clear enough for people to see in 1960 or at least the leaders if not

    for the people who are not as, shall we say, informed as the leaders. And it

    would have been easier to bring about the full obedience of the bishops to

    consecrate Russia.

    Does this angel who cries out with a loud voice, penance,

    penance, penance, fit in the Apocalypse at any point?

    When the Pope went to Fatima on May 13th in 2000, he said that Our Ladys

    appearance at Fatima is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and he specified

    Chapter 12, verse 1, And a great sign appeared in Heaven, a Woman clothed

    with the sun and the moon was under Her feet. I find it very interesting that

    Pope John Paul II should cite that verse. Its the same verse that Pope Paul VI

    http://pdfcrowd.com/http://pdfcrowd.com/redirect/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.fatimacrusader.com%2fcr64%2fcr64pg18.asp&id=ma-130612033023-d3adc25fhttp://pdfcrowd.com/customize/http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/?ref=pdf

    said in 1967. Pope Paul VI, when he went to Fatima, wrote an Encyclical dated

    the 12th of May, the day before he went. He issued this Ecyclical called Signum

    Magnum which is the Latin term for the Great Sign. These are the first words

    of Chapter 12, verse 1.

    Pope Paul VI very strongly suggested that Our Lady of Fatimas appearance

    was the fulfillment of the prediction of the prophecy of St. John in Chapter 12

    that the Woman clothed with the Sun would come.

    The Devil Drags Down One Third of the Clergy

    Pope John Paul II goes further. He doesnt suggest; he affirms it. So both

    Popes are pointing us to that chapter of the book of the Apocalypse of the

    Bible. Pope John Paul II goes further; its quite extraordinary what he says in

    his homily (see extracts of the homily in Pope John Paul II on May 13, 2000 at

    Fatima). He gives us a pointer. He quotes Chapter 12, verse 3 and 4, in which

    the verses he quotes is, and the dragon, meaning the devil, drags down one

    third of the stars of Heaven. What is the meaning of that phrase: the dragondrags? It is the devil who drags down to the earth one third of the stars of

    Heaven. What are the stars? Catholic commentators have commonly said that

    the stars of Heaven represent the Catholic clergy. One third of the Catholic

    clergy are taken out of the Heavens!

    Apostasy.

    Well, not only apostasy. Apostasy is for every rank. Anyone can be

    apostatized. But for the clergy to be dragged out of Heaven, you have the

    words of Sr. Lucy explaining the Third Secret and you have to go back to FatherFuentes interview of December 26, 1957. The last time Sr. Lucy was able to

    speak publicly, she spoke about the devil wanting to fight, thinking hes going

    to win. She told us that the devil is planning to fight a decisive battle.

    She says the most effective way the devil can do harm to souls is by taking

    away their leaders we are talking about the priests, talking about the stars

    of Heaven and that by taking away the priests then the people would be left

    leaderless and they would more easily fall into the hands of the devil. That

    ties in with one third of the stars of Heaven being taken down to the earth.

    Can The Mother Stand By?

    That ties in with at least one Catholic interpretation of that verse. It ties in

    with what Pope John Paul II said in 1982, Can the Mother with all the force

    and the love, that She fosters in the Holy Spirit, and desires everyones

    salvation; can She remain silent when She sees the very basis of Her childrens

    salvation undermined? And he answers his own question, No, She cannotremain s ilent.

    What is the Blessed Mother trying to do? She is crying out to us to pay

    attention because our salvation is being undermined. Now certainly the basis

    of our salvation is our Catholic Faith. You might say the second basis of that is

    our religious leaders. So, if one third of the stars of Heaven are dragged down,

    then people will find it harder to save their souls. The faithful must be careful

    to fol low those Catholic clergy who preserve the faith.

    And also it is important for people to pray for priests, to pray for the

    bishops, to pray for the Cardinals and to pray for the Pope.

    For certain Father. Where wi ll we be without priests? How difficult

    in the latter times might it be to find a priest. People would beg to

    have a priest they can confess to when those terrible days come.

    And we know how important it is to have priests to give us the

    sacraments. Where would we go without them? How many more

    people would lose their souls without priests!

    There is so much more information about Fatima that the world needs to

    know. Frere Michel, world renowned Fatima scholar has written The Whole

    Truth About Fatima. We have translated and published his three volumes in

    English. I urge everyone to read them to get a more complete insight to the

    utter urgency of Our Ladys message and requests at Fatima. Volume III, The

    Third Secretcontains the interview of Father Fuentes with Sister Lucy. It is a

    key to the Third Secret. Sister Lucy still remains under silence but at least we

    can take the key which she gives us in that interview.

    Why Russia?

    Speaking of Our Ladys requests, Father, why is it so important

    thatRussia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and

    not just the world. Why doesnt the world fulfill the request?

    First of all, the Pope and the bishops have never fulfilled this request of Our

    Lady according to her directions. So why is it so important? Sr. Lucy told us in

    that same interview with Father Fuentes, Many times the Blessed Virgin told

    me and my cousins Jacinta and Francisco that Russia is the instrument of

    chastisement chosen by Heaven to punish the whole world if we do not

    beforehand obtain the conversion of that poor nation.

    Of course, God will punish the world for its sins and thats understood in the

    context, but why Russia? Everything glorifies God; we either glorify Gods

    justice or we glorify His mercy. Everything serves God. Even evil regimes serve

    God. And God has chosen to use the regime of practical and militant atheists

    to chastise the rest of the people for their sins.

    There is one way out of that chastisement and that is by converting Russia.

    But the only way to convert Russia is through the Message of Fatima. It will be

    achieved only through fulfilling Our Ladys requests and specifically for the

    Pope and the bishops consecrating the country and people of Russia to the

    Immaculate Heart of Mary in a solemn and public way on the same day and at

    the same hour.

    Is this what the Pope has planned for October of this year?

    The Holy Father has asked the bishops of the world to join him in Rome on

    October 8, 2000, but to consecrate the world.

    The world?

    The world. He has consecrated the world several times; he did it on June 7,

    1981. Then he did it again with much more ceremony, you might say, before a

    million people on May 13, 1982. And again on March 25, 1984. He consecrated

    the world all these times, but he has never consecrated Russia in the manner

    requested by Our Lady of Fatima.

    Didnt I read somewhere that the Holy Father made mention of the

    fact that those peoples are still awaiting?

    Yes. Even after consecrating the world on March 25, 1984, Pope John Paul II

    acknowledged before about 250,000 people in St. Peters Square that he had

    not done what Our Lady of Fatima requested. He said, Enlighten especially

    the peoples of which you yourself are awaiting our consecration and confiding.

    He said that after he did the consecration of the world. So he knows he hasnt

    done what Our Lady of Fatima asked for. But he felt, at least at that time, that

    his hands were tied.

    When Sr. Lucy, asked Our Lord why He would not convert Russia without

    that consecration, He said, Because I want My whole Church to recognize that

    consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that later on My

    Church will place devotion to My Mothers Immaculate Heart beside devotion to

    My Sacred Heart.

    And so in effect, Sr. Lucy, herself, had asked, Why Russia? Among other

    things, Russia is a very well defined territory. So when Russia is consecrated

    and people see the resultant conversion to the Catholic Faith of that country

    as distinct from the countries around it, they will make the connection. That

    will clearly be seen as the result of the Pope and the bishops consecrating

    Russia.

    Then people will see the relationship between this act of consecration, thisact of honor to the Blessed Virgin and the conversion of Russia. God wants to

    honor Her by giving this grace to Russia. Through Russias conversion giving

    world peace to the world, people will say, Well i f devotion to the Immaculate

    Heart of Mary can do that for Russia, whats it going to do for me? And,

    therefore, it will be a major step in promoting devotion to the Immaculate

    Heart of Mary and establishing it in the world.

    God Wants Devotion to Our Lady

    God wants to establish devotion to the Immaculate Heart in the world so

    many more souls will be saved.

    Father, thank you for taking the time to explain this vision and

    encouraging us to seek the truth, for the sake of our lives and our

    souls. We pray that Our Lady will protect you as you stand strong to

    defend Our Lady and our Holy Catholic Faith.

    Id like to remind our listeners to continue to pray the rosary every day, wear

    the brown scapular and receive the Sacraments worthily. We are, as Sister Lucy

    says, engaged in a decisive battle against the devil and we must fortify

    ourselves with prayer and sacrifice. Your prayers are most important to me. It

    is that grace from the prayers of you and all friends of Our Lady that assists

    me in this work to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

    before many more souls are lost.

    Father, is the triumph of Our Lady, the conversion of Russia and

    world peace described in the Bible?

    I think it is. Read Isaias 2:2-4: In days to come, the Mountain of the Lords

    house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills.

    All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: Come,

    let us climb the Lords mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he

    may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths. For from Sion shall

    go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

    He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples.

    They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they

    train for war again.

    The Mountain of the Lords house is the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus

    Christ. Al l nations, after the miraculous conversion of Russia will stream

    towards the Catholic Church whose Pope and bishops were instrumental in

    bringing about the end of Russias war on God. From Sion, that is the Mount of

    the Holy Eucharist for the Last Supper was held on Mount Sion shall send

    forth instructions as well as the Gospel which was started in Jerusalem on

    Pentecost Sunday. The result wil l be world peace and swords turned into

    plowshares and, therefore, plenty to eat for all. And there will be no more war

    anywhere.
