I have revealed these same sorrows to the great mystics and visionaries but in such a way that they could not adequately explain them to the world. Here, I use easy words. The purpose is not a mystical experience uniting the person to my heart, but a clear explanation for all the world to understand my sorrows.

Today, I speak of world leaders who arose in the twentieth century, the century that threw the world onto its present course. The two world wars and the atomic bomb are the most evident signs of a world led down a false path.

Foreseeing all that would take place, I intervened at Fatima, early in the century. My hope was to avoid this path of destruction. However, once these decisions were made, the path became inevitable.

It is now almost a century later. How many times in these 100 years, I have intervened. If I had not held them back, the world would have already experienced the great disasters. My great sorrow is two-fold. So many of these disasters would never have happened if the Fatima gift had been fully opened. Second, as the Fatima gift continues to be limited, greater disasters loom on the horizon. These are my sorrows.
