This is the great dilemma. Nations have been allowed to create weapons of massive destruction. Weapons of all kinds have been spread all over the earth. This should never have taken place. The Holy Spirit of peace was rejected and the evil spirit of war and violence was welcomed by the leaders of the world.

Constant steps have been taken to arm the whole world, friend and foe. Then, once they possessed the weapons, friends became foes. Divisions, enmities, disputes (large and small) have all fueled this buildup that continues at an even greater pace.

Is this the work of the heavenly Father? Is all of this happening under the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Nothing is further from the truth. Mankind alone has chosen this path, a path devoid of divine light. He is entrapped in the constant diabolical attraction to power and to violence.

This is the dilemma and everyone sees the picture all too clearly. This is not the road to world peace nor is it a road to sanity. Yet, every nation and every people walk this road. “What else can we do?” they ask. I will speak to this dilemma.

I touch hearts. When hearts are touched, new paths are envisioned. When hearts are touched new people emerge, emboldened by the Holy Spirit and ready to make any sacrifice, even of their own lives. This is what is needed. Holy leaders must take command. They must seek new ways, not even spoken of now. I will be with them. Peace. They must be leaders of peace, even when voices of war try to shout them down. They must stand firm and resist the generals who want war and the industries that want only to profit from the weapons they sell. My Pope will lead them to Fatima.
