“On Friday 25 March, during the Celebration of Penance which he will preside at at 5 pm in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The same act, on the same day, will be performed in Fatima by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almsgiver, as sent by the Holy Father ”. This was announced by the director of the Holy See Press Office Matteo Bruni. The day of the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord was chosen for the consecration.
Our Lady, in the apparition of July 13, 1917 in Fatima, had asked for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, stating that, if this request was not accepted, Russia would spread “its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecutions of the Church. The good – she added – will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be destroyed ”. After the apparitions of Fatima there have been various acts of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary: Pius XII, on 31 October 1942, consecrated the whole world and on 7 July 1952 consecrated the peoples of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Apostolic Letter Sacro verente year:
“Just as a few years ago we consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mother of God, so now, in a very special way, we consecrate all the peoples of Russia to the same Immaculate Heart”.
