hello father dennis,

I have recently heard about the 3rd secret of fatima and am very confused about what will happen. Can you please explain? I also am nervous father about 3rd secret even though I have much faith. Even if I'm only age 12, I would like to hear an adult explanation. Thank you and god bless.

Hi Denise,

I am only a layman, but my understanding of the 3rd secret is that it was revealed by Pope John Paul II several years ago. It was supposed to have been revealed in the 1960's but the Vatican chose not to. Eventually it became evident that the 3rd secret prophesied that the pope would be shot, which in fact did happen, as you may recall. It was after this that the Holy Father decided to make the secret public.

The secrets of Fatima are one miraculous example of the Blessed Mother speaking to us publicly in modern times. I hope this helps answer your question.
