Quo Vadis?
Where Is Peter Going? All Roads Now Lead To Fatima
There
is an apocryphal story that St. Peter was fleeing Rome to avoid
persecution when he saw Our Lord heading in the opposite direction and
asked Him, “Quo vadis?” (Where are you going?)
Our
Lord said He was going to Rome to be crucified again, this time to take
Peter’s place. At this, St. Peter turned around and headed back to the
city, ready to meet his martyrdom with joy, knowing the Lord was with
him.
We
are not concerned with the historicity of the story, but with its
meaning, especially in the present Church crisis. St. Peter’s question
to Jesus was redirected to St. Peter: Where are you going?
It
is the question every successor of Peter must ask himself. Indeed, it
is the question every Catholic must ask himself: Where am I going? What
is my ultimate destination?
From May 13 to May 18, “Fatima: Your Last Chance!” will convene in Rome to respectfully pose this question to Pope Benedict: Holy Father, where are you going?
There
is an ancient saying: “Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia.” It means wherever
Peter is, there is the Church. Where Peter leads, the Church will
follow.
Our Lady of Fatima has made a direct request of the Holy Father and the bishops: Consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart.
So
far, as author and conference speaker John Salza will discuss, 7 Popes
have failed to lead the bishops in performing this simple act of
consecration that comes with a wonderful promise: the conversion of
Russia and world peace.
This seems incredible, incomprehensible, but it is nevertheless true.
Our
Lady sealed the authenticity of Fatima with a spectacular public
miracle — The Miracle of the Sun — witnessed by 70,000 people. And two
of the three Fatima seers have been beatified.
If
the Church accepts the authenticity of Fatima and the holiness of its
messengers, as it does, why balk at the consecration? This is a question
that “Fatima: Your Last Chance!” will ask.
Our
Lady’s Apostolate is prepared to ask this question plainly and
forcefully because we love the Pope and the Church. We want the Holy
Father and the bishops to save themselves and us by doing the only thing
still in their power: Obey Our Lady.
We are going to Rome from May 13-18 for “Fatima: Your Last Chance!”
to stress the urgency of the consecration. We all know in our hearts
that the world is beyond saving by any man-made solutions. Heaven’s help
is the only thing that will avail.
And we can have Heaven’s help. It is waiting for us. Waiting for the Holy Father to take the lead.
So we are going to Rome to pose the age-old yet ever more pressing question: “Quo vadis?”
Please
join us if you can. It is not too late. We want to show the Holy Father
that we are with him and that the time for delaying the consecration is
past.
If you can’t come to the conference, please pray for its success. You can watch it on www.fatima.org or on our new TV internet site, http://fatimatvworldwide.twww.tv/?onair
And if you can help with the enormous cost of this conference, please don’t hesitate. All of our hope rests with Our Lady.
