BLUE ARMY OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA
Our Lady came to Fatima to save the souls of her children from hell in the eternal order, & to bring peace to their world in the temporal. The core of her message can be expressed in three simple sentences:
1. Addressing the eternal order, she told us that hell exists and that souls are being lost to it because there is no one to make reparation for their sins.
2. Speaking of the temporal, she said that war is a consequence of sin.
3. The salvation of souls and the attainment of world peace require the conversion of sinners.
“People must stop offending God because He is already so much offended.”
