April 21, 2024: Yesterday I got this old blog up and going again, although it’s not clear how we are going to keep it up. So much has happened! I was not able to explain to readers what caused me to take ReturntoFatima offline so suddenly. The shortest answer is probably the best. My medical condition has made it very difficult for me to manage the maintenance of Return to Fatima and also maintain my end of life spiritual preparations. When I realized that my quality of posting was slipping, I just shut down and took some time to seek God’s will.
I may be trying to do this too soon – but several long-time readers asked me to try again. As most of you know, the objective is to set up an archive site, with three or four columns, each representing a category of our posts since 2012, plus a resources category, which should be helpful.
Those of you who have been with me for years, you are warned now: I am old and make more errors, so please correct me any time you feel it is indicated! I hope to post a new page, Evensong Reflections soon to comment on the acceleration we see around us.
Thank you for your patience and your perseverance! I pray for you always, most recently, the Novena to Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii – and hope to begin that Novena again at the proper time for all of you.

The following message is old, but never passe, we all need to do this:
Please accompany your daily rosaries with Spiritual Mass and Holy Communion (it’s in the sidebar and also in the Family Consecration page) and whenever you are able, take quiet time with Our Lord in some abandoned tabernacle. That is to say, take time to consider Him alone in the tabernacle, where often He is locked away from those of His who would visit but cannot because the Chapel is locked “for security reasons, etc.) and many of us, like myself, are locked into their homes, unable to leave their beds, unable to receive the holy Sacraments except on rare occasions.
That is what these Holy Hours before your Sacred Heart Shrine are for. Spiritual Holy Communion and spiritual visits to Our Lord in His prison of love are very effective sources of grace. Our dear Lord sees our plight and He is willing to remedy it if we only make the effort. Spend less time seaching the web (it’s called the web for a reason!) and more time in silent loving prayer. Always place yourself before Him, in His forsaken tabernacle, before your Rosary so that you can, with Our Lady, comfort Him with the Rosary.
Thank you for reading, please pray for our priests! I pray for you always.

MISSION
The mission of Return to Fatima is to spread the truth about the message of Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima and its urgent relevance for our time. Our particular focus is to promote the devotions requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary, that is, the Holy Rosary, the First Saturdays of Reparation, Total Consecration to her Immaculate Heart, including wearing her brown scapular of Mount Carmel and offering our daily duties in reparation for sin.
The Consecration of Russia is vitally important, but it is a command from Our Lady to the pope and bishops. She commanded of all Catholics, no matter their station in life, to pray the Rosary, observe the First Saturdays of Reparation, Consecrate themselves to her Immaculate Heart, and wear her brown scapular of Mount Carmel. Saint Jacinta, in her very brief life, repeatedly stressed the urgency of praying for the Pope and making reparation for sinners.
When we humble ourselves in penance and reparation, offering all our thoughts words and actions to her Immaculate Heart, she will hear our prayers for the Consecration of Russia and a faithful and obedient pope and bishops will finally Consecrate Russia as she has requested. To be clear: we must do what she asks of us – that is our task. Do this and the rest will be given to us.
This battle is a decisive battle between the Immaculate Mother of Our Savior and the ancient enemy, Satan. We believe this because we accept the Message of Fatima in its entirety and we choose to obey Our Lady of the Rosary in all her requests, as slaves of her Immaculate Heart. Therefore, Return to Fatima is deeply committed to the use of the spiritual weapons of Our Lady of the Rosary.
NOTE:
“The supreme prerequisite for receiving the extraordinary blessings of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is that people must stop offending God. It is absolutely integral to Our Lady’s message that if people do not do this voluntarily, then God will send catastrophic chastisements in order to hopefully cause them to return to His ways. The entire history of the 20th century (and now 20 years into the 21st) is largely comprised of catastrophic chastisements from God, and a corresponding massive failure of peoples to benefit from these chastisements.” (James Larson,“Rosary to the Interior”).
Our Lord, the true Head of the Holy Catholic Church, sent us His own Immaculate Mother to lead us safely through this deluge of iniquity into the arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ. She has not been obeyed. We will not be given a true Catholic leader until we have prepared for it spiritually. Until sufficient obedient penance and reparation is made, no leader will be given.
Again: Return to the Message of Fatima. It is not too late, but we must turn to Our Lady of Fatima now, do not delay any longer.
† . † . †
Our Lord Jesus Christ offered us the public devotion to His Sacred Heart and when that offer was ignored, He made His final offer to a world increasingly devoid of His light and grace: devotion to the Immaculate Heart of His Mother. The heart is the seat of the will and Mary’s will was pure and perfectly filled with the grace of God, perfectly humble and obedient. Who could better teach us humility and obedience in this age of arrogant pride, narcissism, and revolution?

Sister Lúcia’s words to Father Fuentes
“Let us remember that Jesus Christ is a very good Son and that He does not permit that we offend and despise His Most Holy Mother. . . Our Lord Jesus Christ has always defended the honor of His Mother.”
At Fatima, a merciful God gave us the final means to return to His grace. As each successive Pope has ignored Our Lady’s requests, the Church has suffered increasing assaults until now, apostasy has reached the very summit of the hierarchy. Thus, we find ourselves in the final stages, as Satan challenges our Lord Jesus Christ for control of the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.
The three parts of the great Secret of Fatima are now being fulfilled. The first portion is a salutary warning that hell truly does exist and we could very well go there for all eternity. Over a century later, the pope and hierarchy continue to respond with studied indifference. And the faithful – what of them? Well, look about you – what do you see?
The second part of the secret concerns the material chastisement – ongoing war, famine, and pestilence – will gather in intensity until the inevitable conclusion. Meanwhile, the disastrous Papacy of Pope Francis, concludes with his final bid to eclipse the true Church with the Church of Man, by completing the destruction of the sacred priesthood, the sacraments and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass itself. That comprises the third part of the Secret.
The Church is the Bride of Christ, His own Mother is the Mother of the Church. And so we know who it is to whom the victory has been given. These pages were meant, above all, to be a reassurance and a means of helping readers stay close to our most Blessed Mother, “the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon, and … the certain door by which we are to enter Heaven.” (Sister Lucia of Fatima)
We must obey our most Blessed Mother: purifying our own souls with reparative actions and devotions, returning to the eternal truths of the Faith, to become effective spiritual warriors, led by the Immaculata to the victory which has been promised since Eden: “She shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.” (Gen. 3, 15)
Sister Lúcia told Father Fuentes that:
“God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
THE ULTIMATE CHASTISEMENT
You see, Lucia does not mention the Mass. This is because the ultimate spiritual chastisement is for us to lose the Holy Sacrifice and so, that is precisely the goal of the ancient enemy and those who serve him both within and without the Church.
For more than ten years now I have warned readers that traditional Catholic leaders (both clerical and lay) are failing in their duty to preach the true and full message of Fatima, and that consequently we will see: the loss of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and sacraments, and the establishment of atheistic, materialistic tyranny on a world-wide scale. It is now upon us. I foretold that the faithful, along with the mass of humanity, would become confused and unable to discern the truth or repent of their sins. They will no longer have the faith, nor will they be able to regain it, unless they turn to Our Lady of the Rosary, but many will simply not grasp the urgency of this need. If you are reading this now, chances are, you will reject these words. That is precisely the point.
One last time: it is not too late to repent and obey – this is your sure way to salvation. Return to Fatima. Return to Our Lady of the Rosary and true devotion to her Immaculate Heart. She awaits you with mercy and love; turn from your own ways, avert your eyes from the false leaders – take up her Rosary and follow her to Our Lord Jesus Christ – He gives His life for you, what more do you want? All of heaven awaits! Come to Him now, take her hand and follow Him!
Thank you very much for reading. If you like what you read, please take a moment and pray for our priests!
Without them, there is no Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and no sacraments. Pray for priests!

Return to Fatima is not a tax exempt apostolate nor do we make a cent from it, nor have we ever accepted donations of any kind, although prayers for priests are very welcome!
Who am I?
I am not a visionary or seer, I am just another old woman with a rosary, thanks be to God.Why am I anonymous? What am I hiding?
I do not post my real name out of respect for family members who regret that I have begun this risky endeavour; I regret it too, but now I must continue until I finish this task or, more likely, become unable to complete it.
Remember – Our Lady needs us to obey: First Saturdays of Reparation, daily rosary, at least 5 mysteries, wear her brown scapular and live your Total Consecration to her Immaculate Heart, offering daily duties in reparation and for the conversion of poor sinners.
For the time being, I will use the old contact information for evensong, which is below.
