We publish excerpt from speech given by Christopher Ferrara during Conference in Moscow (November 2017).

The particular focus of the Message of Fatima is the great nation of Russia… The Message of Fatima is a prophetic revelation in which Russia plays a central role. In this prophecy Russia is, as it were, a vessel of divine election, a country chosen by God to bring about a transformation of the so-called contemporary world…

In this Message, the Blessed Virgin Mary places Russia at the center of world events in our time, beginning, of course, in the fateful year of 1917. But in the Message, the Blessed Virgin also places Russia at the center of salvation history as well… The last of the six apparitions of the Virgin occurred on October 13, 1917, only a few weeks before the commencement of the October Revolution… The request for the Consecration of Russia is no insult to Russia but the greatest honor that Heaven can bestow on this nation, because at Fatima, the Mother of God revealed that Russia, as I suggested earlier, is a vessel, an instrument of divine election for the reign of peace in the world that will follow what She called the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart. And the great people of Russia will be the instruments for the beginning of a miraculous conversion of the Western world, a world that is in rebellion against God and His Law…

When the Consecration of Russia to the Mother of God to Whom the Russian people have such a deep devotion, is finally performed, your great nation will be instrumental in bringing about the glorious fulfillment the Mother of God has promised us. May the Lord grant that it will happen soon!
