John Haffert: “At the bishop’s house (in Leiria), I sat at the table on his right,with the four Canons. During that first dinner, Canon Jose Galamba de Oliveira turned to me when the bishop had left the room momentarily and asked: “Why don’t youask the bishop to open the Secret?” Endeavoring not to show my ignorance concerning Fatima—which at that time was almost complete—I simply looked at him without expression. He continued: "The bishop can open the Secret. He doesn’t have to wait until 1960.” (Dear Bishop! John Haffert, AMI 1981, pp. 3-4)
Cardinal Cerejeira: In February 1960 the Patriarch of Lisbon reported the directions which the Bishop of Leiria “has passed on to him” on the subject of the Third Secret: “Bishop da Silva enclosed (the envelope sealed by Lucy) in another envelopeon which he indicated that the letter had to be opened in 1960 by himself, Bish
op Jose Correia da Silva, if he was still alive, or if not, by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon.” (Novidades, February 24, 1960, quoted by La Documentation catholique, June 19, 1960, col. 751)
Canon Barthas: during his conversations with Sister Lucy on October 17-18, 1946,
he had the opportunity to question her on the Third Secret. He writes: “When willthe third element of the Secret be revealed to us?” Already in 1946, to this question Lucy and the Bishop of Leiria answered me uniformly, without hesitation andwithout comment: “In 1960.” And when I pushed my audacity so far as to ask why it w
as necessary to wait until then, the only response I received from either one was: “Because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so.” (Barthas, Fatima, merveille du XXe siecle, p. 83. Fatima-editions, 1952)
Canon Galamba: “The third part of the Secret, written down by Sister Lucy, was sealed by the hands of His Grace the Bishop of Leiria and will be opened either after the seer’s death or at the latest in 1960 (ou apos a morte da vidente ou o maistardar em 1960).” (Fatima, altar do mundo, Vol. II, p. 147)
The Armstrongs: On May14, 1953, Lucy received a visit from the Armstrongs, who were able to question her on the third Secret. In their account published in 1955, they confirmed that the third Secret “had to be opened and divulged in 1960.” (A.O. Armstrong, Fatima, pilgrimage to peace, The World’s Work, Kingswood, Surrey, 1955)
Cardinal Ottaviani: On May 17, 1955, Cardinal Ottaviani, Pro-Prefect of the HolyOffice, came to the Carmel of Saint Teresa at Coimbra. He interrogated Lucy on
the third Secret; and in his conference of 1967 recalled: “The message was not tobe opened before 1960. I asked Sister Lucy, ‘Why this date?’ She answered, ‘Because then it will seem clearer (mais claro).” (La Documentation catholique, March 19, 1967, col. 542)
Cardinal Tisserant: On October 13, 1956, Cardinal Tisserant, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for the Eastern Church, came as a papal legate to bless “Domus Pacis” at Fatima, the international headquarters of the Blue Army. During his homily he declared: “A part of this message must remain hidden until 1960; but a part has been made public in 1942 by the ecclesiastical authorities…” (quoted by G. Renault, Fatima, p. 225, Plon, 1957)
Father Schweigl: In November 1956, Father Schweigl titled a chapter of his little work, “Towards the Year 1960…” and he writes, “… The third part of the message must remain secret until 1960.” (Fatima e la conversione della Russia, p. 13, Rome, 1956)

Father Joaquin Alonso, official archivist of Fatima: “Other bishops also spoke—and with authority—about the year 1960 as the date indicated for opening the famous letter. Thus, when the then titular Bishop of Tiava, and Auxiliary Bishop of Lisbonasked Lucy when the Secret was to be opened, he always received the same answer
: in 1960.” (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edi
tion, p. 46)
Father Joaquin Alonso: “When Don Jose, the first Bishop of Leiria and Sister Lucyagreed that the letter was to be opened in 1960, they obviously meant that its contents should be made public for the good of the Church and the world.” (ibid., p. 54)
Bishop Venancio: “I think that the letter will not be opened before 1960. Sister Lucy had asked that it should not be opened before her death, or not before 1960.
We are now in 1959 and Sister Lucy is in good health.” (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, Spanish Edition, p. 46)
Father Fuentes: Father Fuentes interviewed Sister Lucy on December 26, 1957 andtold him: “Father, the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid attention to Her Message, neither the good nor the bad. The good continue on their waybut without giving any importance to Her Message… I am still not able to give anyother details because it is still a secret. According to the will of the Most H
oly Virgin, only the Holy Father and the Bishop of Fatima are permitted to knowthe Secret, but they have chosen not to know it so that they would not be influenced. This is the third part [third Secret] of the Message of Our Lady which will remain secret until 1960.” (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquin Al
onso, Spanish Edition, p. 103-104)
F. Stein: “The testimonies which have announced the revelation of the Secret for 1960 are of such weight and so numerous that in our opinion, even if the ecclesiastical authorities of Fatima [in 1959 the experts themselves were still unawarethat Rome had taken the Secret from the Bishop of Leiria over two years previously] had not yet resolved to publish the Secret in 1960, they would now see themselves forced to do so by the circumstances.” (Mensagem de Fatima, July-August, 1959)
Father Dias Coelho: “If it were only a question of much ado about nothing, this would already be sufficient reason for dealing with the matter, at least with thepurpose of quashing these rumors. But in reality testimony on the existence of the third part of the Secret of Fatima (the first and second part having been published already in 1942) is so weighty, coming from persons like Don Jose, Bishopof Leiria, his successor, Don Venancio, Cardinal Cerejeira, and Cardinal Tisser
ant, that it leaves no doubt. Also, we can use, as an unquestionable fact, thisassertion of Dr. Galamba de Oliveira (in 1953) in Fatima, Altar do Mundo: ‘The third part of the Secret was sealed in the hands of His Grace the Bishop of Leiria,and will be opened either after the seer’s death or at the latest in 1960.’” (L’Homme N
ouveau, No. 269, November 22, 1959)
Canon Barthas: "We know that there remains an element still reserved, of which it is useless to guess the content. Moreover, it will soon be known, since Lucy a

ffirms that Our Lady wills that it can be published beginning in 1960." (The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. III, Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity, p. 500, footnote 33)
Father Joaquin Alonso, noting the effects of the disobedience of the hierarchy not to disclose the third Secret in 1960, as indicated by Our Lady of Fatima: “Simp
le folks waited up until May 13 [1960] when it was believed that the revelation[of the third Secret] would be made. Later, people felt a profound disenchantment and disappointment which did great harm to devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, both inside and outside Portugal.” (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. JoaquinAlonso, Spanish Edition, p. 46)
All testimonies and statements reveal clearly and with certitude, that Heaven (not Sister Lucy!) but Heaven, desired and willed that Our Lady’s third Secretof Fatima was to be revealed to the whole world no later than 1960.
Sister Lucy writes the Third Secret
In 1941 Sister Lucy had written her third and fourth memoirs, writing the firsttwo parts of the great Secret of Fatima. In her third memoir Sister Lucy has made it clear that "the secret is made up of three parts, two of which I am going to reveal." In her fourth memoir she restated the first two parts, leaving out once again "that part of the Secret which I am not permitted to reveal at present." Yet in the fourth memoir Sister Lucy did reveal one additional fragment of theSecret which had not appeared in the third memoir: Before the "O my Jesus", andafter the end of the second part of the Secret, we find this curious sentence,
obviously deprived of its context: "Em Portugal se conservera sempre o doguema da fe." - "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved." It is interesting to note that the first two parts of the Secret do not mention the subject of the loss of dogma at all.In September of 1944, Bishop da Silva suggested that Sister Lucy write down the
text of the Third Secret, but she said that she could not take that responsibility upon herself without a formal, written order. Even when the order was given amonth later by her bishop, she was unable to commit to writing this Third Secre
t. Sister Lucy, who had lived a life of obedience to her superiors, was not physically able to obey the command. She attributed this paralysis to a preternatural cause.[1] According to Frere Michel in his monumental book on the Third Secret:
"Having received the formal order to write down the Secret in mid-October,two months later Sister Lucy still had not done so. This shows how much the writing of this text made her tremble. Indeed as she took up her pen, she found herincapable of writing. In effect, as she asked Don Garcia for advice she added that she had wanted to obey several times, that she had sat down to write, withoutbeing able to. This mysterious impediment still existed on December 24, 1943, w
here she makes it clear in a letter to Don Garcia
that this phenomenon was notdue to natural causes.
"...Undoubtedly we see it as Satan
s final outburst against the messenger of the Immaculate One, guessing what a great weapon this prophecy would be, onceit was set down in black and white, against his domination and his claim of being able to infiltrate the very heart of the Church...thus the seer
s great trialwas the measure of how great was the event about to be accomplished." [2]
Finally, on January 2, 1944, Sister Lucy was able to write down the text ofthe Secret in the chapel at the convent of Tuy. According to the account of Canon Martins dos Reis, she was able to proceed only "after Our Lady appeared to her
to tell her to write the famous secret ... in conformity with what had been asked of her."[3]

On January 9, 1944, Sister Lucy wrote to Bishop da Silva to tell him that the Third Secret of Fatima had been written down and placed in a sealed envelope. On June 17, 1944, the envelope was delivered to Bishop da Silva, by Sister Lucy
s bishop confessor in Tuy. The five month delay had resulted from Sister Lucy
s unwillingness to entrust the envelope to anyone but a bishop. Bishop da Silva made the famous promise to Sister Lucy that the envelope would be unsealed and the Secret revealed not later than 1960.
Our Lady, Queen of the angels and saints, and our spiritual Mother, has oureternal salvation at heart more than anyone we will ever know. Let us pray thatthe real Third Secret will soon be revealed, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls!
"How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into MySon
s Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978
Wood Made Flesh will tell the real story.
