Unfortunately, Francis' latest statement issued 20 March 2022 is at variance with the Vatican Press Office bulletin 15 March 2022: "I invite all the faithful to join me on Friday 25 March, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, in carrying out a solemn consecration of humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that the Queen of Peace may obtain peace for the world" Hmmm... From where I sit, this will not pass muster with the Mandate of Heaven. Catholic Sat on Twitter +++ Dichiarazione del Direttore della Sala Stampa della Santa Sede, Matteo Bruni

It has been announced in the past that they want make believe the Christians that their religion would be fake, and their means is to use an impostor such as Francis that cannot validly consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

They want us to believe that our religion cannot prevent what will happen next while normally we should all know that Pope Benedict XVI is still Pope as he didn't resign validly according to the Canon 332-2 that precises that it cannot make under constraint. Given that Pope Benedict XVI was obliged to announce his resignation by bank of Italy that blocked all the Vatican's ATM during more than one month endangering the finances of the Holy Siege, it fulfills this condition of invalid resignation.

The Apparition in the Chapel at Tuy, Spain - 13 June 1929

It was in Tuy that Our Lady’s promise contained in the Secret of 13 July 1917 was fulfilled: “I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia….” Sister Lucy describes the communication:

13 June 1929 - I had requested and obtained permission from my superiors and my confessor to make a holy hour from 11:00 p.m. to midnight, from Thursday to Friday of each week.

Finding myself alone one night, I knelt down near the Communion rail, in the middle of the chapel, to recite the prayers of the Angel, lying prostrate… Feeling tired, I got up and continued to recite them with my arms in the form of a cross. The only light was that of the [sanctuary] lamp.

Suddenly, the whole chapel lit up with a supernatural light and on the altar appeared a cross of light which reached the ceiling. In a clearer light, on the upper part of the cross, could be seen the face of a man with His body to the waist, on His chest a dove, equally luminous; and nailed to the cross, the body of another man. A little below the waist [of Christ on the cross], suspended in the air, could be seen a Chalice and a large Host, onto which some drops of Blood were falling, which flowed from the face of the Crucified One and from the wound in His breast. Running down over the Host, these drops fell into the Chalice.

Under the right arm of the cross was Our Lady with Her Immaculate Heart in Her hand… (She appeared as Our Lady of Fatima, with Her Immaculate Heart in Her left hand, without sword or roses, but with a crown of thorns and flames) under the left arm [of the cross], in large letters, like crystalline water which flowed over the altar, forming these words: “Grace and Mercy”. I understood that the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity was shown to me, and I received lights about this mystery which I am not permitted to reveal.

Then Our Lady said to me: “The moment has come in which God asks of the Holy Father to make, and to order that in union with him and at the same time, all the bishops of the world make, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart”, promising to convert it because of this day of prayer and worldwide reparation.

I rendered an account of this to my confessor, who ordered me to write down what Our Lord willed to be done.

The request at Tuy was especially distinguished by the role the Bishops of the Church, and specifically the Holy Father, were to have in God’s plan for peace. The faithful had been instructed in their role of prayer and sacrifice in the apparitions at Fatima. At Tuy, however, the Pope is given the primary responsibility for future peace: “God asks the Holy Father….” In 1917 the Holy Father had asked the Blessed Mother to obtain the peace of the world and, like a loving mother, She readily consented, but on the condition of the Holy Father’s and the Church’s faithful cooperation with Her plan.

13 July 1917 - Our Lady imparted the Great Secret (in three parts) to the three shepherd children (Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta) at the Cova da Iria - Fátima. The Second Part of the Great Secret of Fatima below foretells the end of World War I and a worse war [World War II] breaking out during the reign of Pope Pius XI if men continue offending God. To prevent this Heaven requests the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Communions of Reparation on the First Saturdays and the consequences of failing to heed these requests.

"To save them [poor sinners who are on the road to hell], God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse war [World War II] will break out during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light [fulfilled 25-26 January 1938], know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions against the Church and against the Holy Father."

"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart [fulfilled 13 June 1929], and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays [fulfilled 10 December 1925]. If My requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated."

"In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

In order for the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be properly & validly performed and in order to satisfy the Mandate of Heaven given on 13 June 1929 in Tuy - Spain to Sister Lucia of Fatima by Our Lady on behalf of the Most Holy Trinity... the Pope (The Vicar of Christ) must do the Consecration of Russia EXCLUSIVELY and TOGETHER WITH ALL the Catholic Bishops of the world in a public solemn manner. Failure on any of these points will not bring us the promised "Period of Peace granted to the world."
