the Sign of the Cross.

II. THE PRELIMINARY TALK:

Purpose: To open up the minds and hearts of the listeners.
In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus visited a home where two men lived (of course, their
brother Lazarus also lived there but he wad not around at that moment).
Martha was the one who welcomed the Lord, but she immediately proceeded to
the kitchen preparing food and other details of hospitality for the visitor.
Mary, on the other hand, seated herself at the Lords feet and listened to his
words. Perhaps she was not able to prepare herself to meet the Lord, or she was not
even around to welcome him during his arrival. And yet she immediately went to Jesus
to ASK THE LORD PURPOSE OF HIS VISIT. Mary, listened to his words (Luke 10:39).
Perhaps, some of us were privileged to welcome Jesus through and with Mary in
her Pilgrim Virgin Statue but, we immediately prepared or continued to prepare the
things which we thought were more important in such a way that some of us are
physically or mentally absent in this orientation.
But Jesus clearly tells us:
There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not
be taken from her (Luke 10:42)
Only one thing is required when a visitor comes and that is to ask him the
purpose of his visit and to satisfy that needs. So, one thing only is required in Our
Ladys visit: TO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD AND TO ASK OUR LADY THE
GRACES TO SDO GODS WILL. In other words, PRAY!

III. The Orientation Proper:

So, Our Blessed Mother Mary is here because she has a

very important purpose in visiting us;
1. The Fatima Pilgrim Virgin
Why is it that of all the titled of Our Lady, it is OUR LADY
OF FATIMA that is usually used in her visits? Why the image of Our
Lady of Fatima and not Our Lady of Lourdes? Our Lady of Guadalupe?
Our Mother of Perpetual Help?, etc. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE
MESSEGEA MOST URGENT AND IMPORTANT MESSAGE which she
gave at Fatima.

She has something to tell us, and our response to her visit
should be one of delight like that of St. Elizabeth who has does this to
happen to me. That the Visitation: And should come to me?
(Luke 1:43)
Let us ask Our Mother Mary the purpose if her visit with the
same words Lucia said during the first apparition at Fatima on May 13,1917: WHAT DO
YOU WANT OF ME?

Let us start our Fatima Orientation. First of all, we would like to inform you all that this is
only a 30 to 60 minutes orientation to a 3-whole day Blue Army Seminar. We hope that
you would attend this seminar to fully answer Our Ladys Message, thus providing that
you are truly her beloved children and servants.
(NOTE:
reminder).

If there is a scheduled YAF Seminar, show them a conspicuous place for

The Message of Fatima

What is the message of Fatima?

Actually the Fatima Message has one central theme, but it can be adequately by
fulfilling three main requests. We should bear this in mind so as to fully understand
Gods will concerning Fatima.
Cardinal Cerejeiro; Patriarch of Lisbon, once said: WHAT IS EXACTLY THE
MESSAGE OF FATIMA? I believe it can be summed up in these words: IT IS THE
MANIFESTATION OF THE IMMACULTATE HEART OF MARY IN THE WORLD OF
TODAY IN ORDER TO SAVE IT. The message of Fatima is simply that MARY HAS
COME TO THE WORLD AT FATIMA IN ORDER TO SAVE IT BY MEANS OF HER
IMMACULATE HEART. Or as Our Lady of Fatima says it:
JESUS WANTS TO MAKE USE OF YOU TO MAKE ME KNOWM AND
LOVED. HE WANTS TO ESTABLISH ON THE WORLS DEVOTION TO MY
IMMACULATE HEART. (June 13, 1917).
*IT IS GODS WILL THEREFORE THAT WE MUST KNOW AND LOVE MARY.
And we can do this by having devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. If we do we sill
be saved. So, this is the Message of Fatima. Our Lady said on July 13, 1917: To
save souls from hell, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My
Immaculate Heart.
The FOUR Request of Our Lady
In order for Our Blessed Mother Mary to save the world, she needs our
cooperation. She needs our help. She does not want to help us. Or she cannot
help us, without our consent. For we have our individual free will to exercise.
To show out consent... to prove that we want to her to help us, we must
HAVE DEVOTION TO HER IMMACULATE HEART. To do this, we must OBEY
HER THREE REQUEST AT FATIMA.

Every Wednesday, countless of people fill our churches in order to

REQUEST OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP FOR THEIR NEEDS. We
make out novena sa INAHAN SA KANUNAYNG PANABANG because we are
MGA ANAK SA KANUNAYNG PANGAYO.
NOW, IT IS OUR MOTHER MARY WHO US THE ONE ASKING FOR
HELP (which is actually still for our own sake). She is now the one requesting.
Shall we refuse Mother Mar, who was always answered our prayers, now that
she wants our help urgently and importantly? We believe that we will never
refuse any of her requests!

1ST: DAILY ROSARY

At Cove da Iria, Our Lady in each of her six apparitions, made known her
perennial request: the praying of the Rosary everyday. On July 13, 1917, she
especially requested us in this manner: CONTINUE TO PRAY THE ROSARY
EVERYDAY in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for
the wolrd and the end of the war because only she can help you.
Even now, we are to CONTINUE to pray the Rosary daily. Our Blessed
Mary did not say that we are to pray the Rosary every May, nor every October,
nor in case of emergencywhen somebody we love has deserted us. Or when
people blame us for something we havent done, etc. WE ARE ALL TO PRAY
THE ROSARY EVERYDAY! Yes, DAILY!
And we are to PRAY FOR PEACE, and to ask it through OUR LADY OF
THE ROSARY because God wills to grant us peace only through her
intercession.
Why of all prayers did Our Lady choose the DAILY ROSARY? What is the
ROSARY? Hoe should we pray the Rosary? All these questions can be fully
answered during the YAF Seminar schedules on ________________.
But for now we have to know the answer to the following questions: Is the
Rosary the most important request at Fatima? Why should we pray it daily?
Sister Lucia, who is still alive today at the age of 88 years (as of 1995),
was left by Our Lady to stay in this world so as to explain Fatima- TOBE OUR
LADYs SPOKEMAN (A person who speaks as a representing of another
person). Our Lady said: BUT YOU, LUCIA, are to stay here same time and
loved... (June 13, 1917)
When someone assumed the greater importance of the Rosary over the
other requests of Our Lady, Sister Lucia responded: BUT THE ROSARY IS NOT
THE MOST IMPORTANT REQUEST.
What then is the Rosary for? What, therefore, is the most important
request? Sister Lucia clarified: THE ROSARY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE
HAVE TO PRAY IT TO FULFILL OUR DAILY DUTY.
The Rosary, although not the most important request at Fatima, is
therefore important. We cant do away with it. We must pray the Rosary and

daily. BUT IT MUST BEAR FRUIT. THE FRUIT OF OUR DAILY ROSARY MUST
BE THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR DAILY DUTY. THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR
DAILY DUTY, therefore, is the most important request of Our Lady of
Fatima.
It is sad to note that so many pray the Rosary but still engage themselves
in backbiting... in evil talk, in bad company, dangerous leisure and occupations.
They dont understand why Our Lady wants the Rosary to be prayed! More
over, because of the bad lives we lead, even by those who pray the Rosary daily,
so many mock the Rosary. So many believe its power and beauty.
Hence, this is the Challenge: Let us pray the Rosary daily in such a way
that our lives will becomes a living Rosary.

2ND. DAILY DUTY

To make our live a living Rosary, we must meditate on the mysteries. We
must consider how the Holy Family fulfilled their daily duty, and at the same time
ask them for the graces to fulfil our daily duty, too, in imitation if them.
First of all, let us be reminded that each one of us has a duty to LOVE
GOD and OUR NEIGHBOR. We should pray the Rosary daily because it is
difficult for us, weakened and wounded by sin, to love God and out neighbour by
our own power. In John 15.5, Our Lord says: Without me, YOU CAN DO
NOTHING.
Without the grace of God, which we usually can obtain only through
PRAYER, we cannot achieve anything. We cannot be aware of our sins, and
thus, we cannot be saved. Thats why St. Alphonsus de Ligueri says: HE WHO
PRAYS WILL BE SAVED. HE WHO DOES NOT PRAY WILL BE DAMNED.
Second, we must acknowledge that we have specific duties which may differ
from one another according to our STATES IN LIFE: priest, religious, married or
single.
Father
As a father, we must love our children. We, too, must take care of them
and not just leave them to the mother alone.
We can see this truth in the 5 th Joyful Mystery, THE FING OF OUR LORD
IN THE TEMPLE. When Jesus was lost, St, Joseph did not reprimand Mother
Mary. Instead, quietly, immediately and sorrowfully both of them, father and
mother, searched for the lost Jesus until they found Him. Our Blessed Mother
then said: SON, WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO US? YOUR FATHER AND I
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU with great anxiety (Luke 2:48).
In a National survey concerning the Youth and Drug addiction, it has been
discovered that the number one reason why there are so many drug addicts
(250,000 in 1985) in the Philippines is that PARENTS NO LONGER SHOW
THEIR LOVE TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN. It is true that Parents give money

and other material things, but they usually give what is the most necessary the
gift of their loving presence. They are simply too busy with their business, socials
and even with Church affairs, in such a way that the youths have to find a
substitute for love of parents. They end of fighting it in a small stick of cigarette,
marijuana or shabu.
Fathers, let us love our children. Let us bring them up with the training and
instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)
Husband
If you are a father, you must have a wife and be united with her in the
Sacrament of Matrimony. It is the duty of the husband to love of his wife. AND
ONLY ONE WIFE: not 2,3,4,10,000-in every port, report.
Our Lady of Fatima revealed to Jacinta before her death in 1920 that THE
SINS WHICH CAUSE MOST SOULS TO GO TO HELL ARE THE SINS THE
FLESH.
What are the sins of the flesh?
1. Fornication (for the unmarried)
* 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 stated:
Do not be deceived neither FORNICATION... WILL INHERIT the kingdom of
God.
2. Adultery (for the married, even if only partner married) Corinthians 6:9-10 Do
not deceived; neither... ADULTERERS... WE WILL INHERIT the Kingdom of
God.
3. Lesbianism (for women)
Homosexuals (for men)
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do not be deceived; neither,,, practicing homosexuals... will inherit the
Kingdom of God.
4. Abortion, Artificial Birth Control, Rape are the other sins which often
accompany the sins of the flesh.
All those who still commit the sins of the flesh are candidates for hell. They
will surely go to hell if they fall to repent and consequently die as enemies of
God.

Mother/Wife
It is primarily the Mother who has a first-hand duty and privilege to love the
children. In reality, the MOTHER is the HEART of the home
The WIFE must love his husband by being always OBEDIENT to him. In
olessians 3:13, the world of God says: WIVES, BE SUBORDINATE TO YOUR
HUSBANDS, AS IS PROPER IN THE LORD. Moreover, in Ephesians 5:24
Gods Word tells us: As the church is subordinate to Christ, so wives should be
subordinate to their husbands in everything.

Children
With regards to the children, Gods word in Ephesians 6:1
tells
us:
CHIILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS IN THE LORD, FOR THIS IS RIGHT. Moreover
in Colossians 3:20, the Word of God
makes it clear that: CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR
PARENTS IN
EVERYTHING, FOR THIS IS PLEASING IN THE LORD.

Workers
With regards to workers, these are their duties:
1) To report and to go home on time (to personally punch his card on the Bandy
Clock);
2) To say NO to PALUSOT or UNDER THE TABLE (give some testimony) or
other forms of graft and corruption;
3) To do ones work diligently as for the Lord. Colossians 3:23 says: WHATEVER
YOU DO, do from the heart, AS FOR THE LORD AND NOT FOR THE
OTHERS.
Stop Sinning
In the fulfilment of our daily duty, we must see to it that we resolve and be
able to stop committing sin.
Our Lady explicitly said that this was her many reason in appearing at
Fatima; that we should no long commit any sin. On July 13, 1917, she promised:
In October, I will tell you who I am and what I want. On October 13, 1917, Our
Lady said: I am the Lady of the Rosary....
PEOLPLE MUST AMEND THEIR LIVESPEOPLE MUST AMEND THEIR LIVES ANS ASK FORGIB=VENESS FOR
THEIR SINS, DO NOT OFFEN THE LORD OUR GOD ANYMORE BECAUSE
HE IS ALREADY SO MUCH OFFENDED.
These are Our Blessed Mother Marys last words. Its like a last will and
testament. It is if Mother Mary said: I know that you love me. But if you love me,
do not offend my Son anymore. I could not have been lovable if not for my Son. I
could have not loved you if not for Him. If you love me, stop offending my Son.
These are the words of a loving Mother, telling us to please stop
committing sin.

3rd: Brown Scapular

Our Lady was not contented of giving us her Rosary so that we
fulfill our daily duty. At Fatima, also gave us her Brown
Scapular.

could

During the last Apparition, October 13, 1917, Our Lady

appeared for
the last time as Our Lady of Mount Carmel without
saying a word. When Sister Lucia
was asked why Mother Mary
appeared as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, she said:
OUR LADY MEANT THAT EVRYONE SHOULD WEAR THE
SCAPULAR AS PART OF THE FATIMA MESSAGE. ONE COULD
NOT

FOLLOW THIS MESSAGE UNLESS HE OR SHE WORE THE

SCAPULAR.

BROWN

When asked further why Our Lady wants everyone to wear the Brown Scapular,
Sister Lucia said: THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE SCAPULAR IS OUR
SING OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY. It means that
be wearing the Brown Scapular we have already given ourselves to Mary
with
the FIRM RESOLUTION NOT TO SIN ANYMORE. To be
devoted to her Immaculate
Heart, we must be as pure as
possible.
And if we live our consecration to Mary, she rewards us
with the fulfilment of
the two promises she has attached to the
Brown Scapular, namely:
The Great Promise of Salvation
On July 16, 1251, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel told to St. Simon Stock: Take this
Scapular. It is a sign of salvation, a protection in danger and a pledge of peace.
Whoever dies clothier in this (scapular) shall never suffer eternal fire.
*(Note: If you have time, give testimonies on the power of the
scapular.)
The scapular is powerful because of the prayers of Mary, the Mother of God. This
prayer power of hers can be seen in the wedding at Cana (expound if you have time.)
What is eternal fire? It is HELL!
At Fatima, Our Lady showed the three children a vision of hell. Although the
vision lasted but a moment, Lucia declared that it was THANKS TO OUR LADY, who
had previously promised to take them to heaven, THAT THEY DID NOT FAINT.
OTHERWISE, THEY WOULD HAVE DIED OF FRIGHT.
Remember, it takes only one unrepented mortal sin, to make us go to hell
forever. And we know how easily we can commit sina thing which we must greatly
fear.
But if we wear the Brown Scapular and die in it, Mother Mary promised that we
will not go to hell. This she can do, because at the moment of our death, Mother Mary
will tell Jesus in heaven, Dont allow that child to die in mortal sin because he is mine.
He is wearing my Scapular. And we know that Jesus will never refuse the prayers of his
beloved Mother Mary. So, certainly, we will go to heaven.
But we must first be PORPWETY ENROLLED IN THE SCAPULAR WE MUST
FOLLOW THE OFFICIAL REGULATIONS of Scapular Enrolment, which we can
summarize as follows:
1st. You and your first Brown Scapular must be blessed by a priest.
2nd. The priest must be the one who will invest (dress) you with
the Blessed Brown Scapular, not you nor anybody else.
3rd. See to it that your own Brown Scapular must have a brown
color cloth in each of the plastic covering, and they must be connected by two strings
and worn with one cloth in front of you and the other at your back. Worn in another way,
it is no longer a scapular.

THE SABRATIVE PRIVILEGE

If we die wearing the Brown Scapular, we will surely no go to hell. But we are not
yet certain that we will go to heaven immediately. We might have to pass through
Purgatory.
And what is Purgatory? St. Thomas Aquinas said that the fires of bell and
Purgatory are the same. There is only difference. PURGATORY HAS AN END.
Furthermore, St. Cyril of Jerusalem said that ALL THE PAINS ON EARTH COMNINED
FROM ADAM TO THE LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD CANNOT COMPARE TO HE
LEAST PAIN IN PURGATORY.
Thats why Mother Mary does not want us to go to Purgatory. After death wants
us to go immediately to her sweet embrace in heaven. She doesnt want us to suffer in
such a terrible state in Purgatory, because she loves us very much. Hence, the
Sabbatine Privilege, which is as follows:
ON THE SATURDAY AFTER THEIR DEATH, THE MOTHER OF GRACES WILL
DESCENF IN PURGATORY AND AS MANY AS THERE ARE I FIND WEARING THE
SCAPULAR I WILL FREE. (Our Lady to Pope John XXII in the 1322)
At Fatima, Mother Mary emphasized the reality of Purgatory when she said to
Lucia in the first apparition: AMELIA SHALL BE IN PURGATORY UNTIL THE END OF
THE WORLD.
Lucia cried when she learned that Amelia was still in Purgatory, and that she
would remain there until the end of the world. She knew Amelia as a friend. She thought
that she could not be that bad.
After the apparition, Jacinta informed the family of Amelia about her sad state in
Purgatory and the need for prayers and sacrifices for her deliverance. Oh, the state of
abandoned and forgotten souls in Purgatory!
Remember, it takes only ONE VENIEL SIN, unrepented or unrepaired, IN
ORDER TO GO TO PURGATORY.
To acquire the Sabbatine Privilege, you need only three requirements: Brown
Scapular, Daily Rosary & Life of Chastity. This is fully explained in the WAF/YAF
Seminar. Therefore, we invite you in the Seminar, in order for you to fully understand all
these and to benefits from them abundantly.

4TH: 5 FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION (FSD)

Devotion a strong love or affection; an act of love
(e.g., Rosary); not an obligation
Obligation something which one is required to do
(e.g., Sunday mass)
Why Saturday?

Saturday is dedicated to Our Lady in honor of her great faith in constantly

believing and expectantly waiting for Jesus to rise on the third day as He
promised.
Why First Saturday?
Because it usually follows First Friday, an therefore, answers Gods desire that
the Immaculate Heart of Mary be venerated beside the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Why Five First Saturdays?
There are five kinds of offenses and blasphemies uttered against the Immaculate
Heart of Mary:

blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception

blasphemies against Marys Perpetual Virginity
blasphemies against Marys Divine Maternity and at times refusal to
recognize Her as Mother of Men
blasphemies of those who openly foster in the hearts of men indifference
or contempt and even hatred for the Immaculate Mother
the offenses of those who directly outrage Her in Her holy images

December 10, 1925:

* (When Lucia was novitiate of the Congregation of St. Dorothy in Pontevedra, Spain):
* Sister Mary Lucy of Sorrows (professed in 1928) in her room after supper (writes in
the third person).
On December 10, 1925, the most Holy Virgin appeared to her (Lucia), and by Her side,
elevated on a luminous cloud, was a child.
The most holy Virgin rested her hand on her shoulder, and as She did so, She showed
her a heart encircled by thorns, which she was holding in her other hand.

At the same time, the child said:

HAVE COMPASSION ON THE HEART OF YOUR MOST HOLY MOTHER,
COVERED WITH THORNS WITH WHICH UNGRATEFUL MEN PIERCE AT EVERY
MOMENT, AND THERE IS NO ONE TO MAKE AN ACT OF REPARATION TO
REMOVE THEM.

Then the most holy Virgin said:

LOOK MY DAUGHTER, AT MY HEART, SORROUNDED WITH THORNS

WITH WHICH UNGRATEFUL MEN PIERCE ME AT EVERY MOMENT BY THEIR
BLASPHEMIES AND INGRATITUDE.

You at least try to CONSOLE ME and say that I promise to assist at the hour of
death, with the graces necessary for salvation:
All those who in the First Saturday of Five Consecutive Months, shall confess,
receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me
company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the
Rosary with the intention of making reparation to me.

Requirements of the 5 First Saturday Devotion:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Sacrament of Confession
Sacramental Communion
Five decade Rosary
15-minute meditation of the rosary mysteries
Intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

If we repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we:

1. we console Her (who is so hurt and sad because of our sins) and Jesus Her Son.
2. we obtain peace peace is entrusted to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
3. we sacrifice ourselves for the intention of reparation for the souls whom the
Justice of God condemns for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of
Mary.
4. we obtain a personal bonus Our Lady will come at the hour of death with all the
graces we need to save ourselves
5. we become dignified escorts of Our Lord in His throne of glory.
I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and THOSE SOULS WILL BE
LOVED BY GOD LIKE FLOWERS PLACED BY ME TO ADORN HIS THRONE.
(June 13, 1917)

Summarizing, these are the Four Requests of Our Lady at Fatima: DAILY
ROSARY, DAILY DUTY, BROWN SCAPULAR and the fulfillment of 5 FIRST
SATURDAY DEVOTION (FSD).
